Great video Steve. I have the ShopNotes issue you spoke of. It gives great instructions on how to build the lift provided that you have a Porter Cable style router. That’s the only drawback to the plans. I have a Freud 2000 E that I have yet to find a router lift for. Perhaps I can modify the plans a bit, that way I don’t have buy a router just to make the lift.

very awesome Steve. Looks like it’ll work like, and probably much better than that 400dollar one. Geesh! They do ask to much $$ for a lot o stuff. Very nice build. Thnx for the SN issue # as well

Awesome job Steve !

Steve, great work. I follow you on Youtube, but came over here to read up. I’m glad you didn’t buy a router lift or a router with built-in lift and were instead able to show us an easy to make homemade one. Great video and awesome inovation!!!

So cool! That really was a great build and it was good to see a router lift built step by step. I know that I will be coming back to this series more than a couple times when I finally get to this project. (I swear, it’s gonna be the next one…)
Thanks for sharing this project with us Steve! Lots of useful stuff.

Great JOB, Steve!

You make it look SO EASY!

Great Video too… as usual!

Thank you very much!

Steve,

Where did you end up getting your 3/4” threaded rod?

Steve, if I didn’t know any better, I’d say you’ve stepped up your woodworking a couple notches. Very nice build and thanks for sharing.

STEVE, That new table saw seems to have kicked your woodworking “ego” up a notch or two! KEEP UP THE NICE WORK, ;-J
