Well, I guess this really is not complete but I had to get these pics out of the camera b 4 I could take more of the completed project. This is a project I s’pose you could say I started in 1973! I made a walnut and oak cutting board for my mother for Christmas that year, in high school woodshop. Since then, it had warped a bit and had a 3/16 layer of pizza grease and beer on it. So, I scraped it down, cut it into 3 pieces and surfaced it smooth and square via jointer and thickness planer. Then, after I glued it back together, my buddy Dan Pleska came to the rescue once again with his wide sander. I took a “Stanley” L bracket and cut it in half, mortised it into the edges of the router plate recess to keep the plunger things from tearing out the wood as i remove it. It has 4 coats of poly on top, 3 on the sides and 2 on the bottom. I bought Norm’s router table plan just to make the fence for it and adapted it to bolt to my TS fence. And, since I had the plan I figured I might as well build the base cab too. I’ll post it as a seperate project.

Good reuse of material. It looks marvelous! Do the fence rails hold it up or is there additional attachment paraphernalia used?

Thanks, everyone. It is actually bolted to the tablesaw and might be a frog hair lower so the fance will slide over it. The router is out of it until I get the cab done. It will have adjustable feet (bolts) to raise it up, just right, to level the top. I feel like I otta be gettin paid for all this work!
