I love the look of this piece and the fence is real nice. Are the plans for that included in the project from Norm?

That looks great!... I’m in the works to build a router table, I may just join the gang and go for this design. Very, very nice.

You router table is almost too pretty to use. Both pieces are very nicely done. Thanks for posting.

I always admire you fellows who build “pretty” shop cabinetry. I usually go for functionality over beauty when it comes to shop pieces. I couldn’t leave I thing of beauty like that in my shop for fear of dinging it up. Nice work.

Looks great! If I had built a router table like this, i would consider to put it into my living room. Very nice.

BioHaz: Yes the plans for the fence are included from Norm.
Mark: Yes I have the plans for it. I really don’t need them anymore maybe we could swap for something if your looking to build one?

I love the tool chest. Can I be your friend?

David, this is one of the nicest versions of this router table that I have seen. You not only executed an excellent build but also put a lot of effort into adding hardwoods and form to the project. Most of us, I daresay, would simply opt to focus on the functionality of the table. But you addressed both form and function. And I have to agree with Todd’s comment that this is almost a piece of furniture rather than a shop fixture. But your rendition is an inspiration. I have planned to do one of these for some time now and this certainly makes me want to get started.

Thanks for the post.

Very nice. I would like to see more pictures of the tool chest.

I don’t have any more pictures of the tool chest and he took it home..:) So I can’t take anymore. I did make a top chest for it also, but no pics..
I had no plans for it, I just designed it myself.
Thanks for the comments

I have a “Norm” router table too but it doesn’t look nearly this nice. Nice job!

It is amazing how many variations on this general theme I have seen, even just here on LJ. It is a good, functional design that certainly meets my modest needs.

I reciently made Norms table too, and yours is quite beautifui!

I agree, almost to nice to use in the shop. The tool box is great as well.

I’d keep that beauty in my house, not in the shop!

You gots one lucky friend!

Welcome to LJ.

Very nice job, It’s a keeper!

That is way too pretty to use in a shop! I would consider myself very lucky to have something that nice looking in my living room!
