My benchtop router table just got extremely jealous….so much storage.

Nice work

-- Premium firewood created daily.

Good-looking table. I’ll bet it gets well used.

What is the top?

-- Kent Shepherd * The goal is-----More Tools!

Looks great. I’m done with utility style shop furniture. If I’m going to take the time to do it I want it to look like I did as well.

I’m converting my TS/Router cabinet to a Double TS which means I’m going to be building another router table soon. I’ll probably enclose the unit to cut down on sound and help with dust collection but I’m not sure if I’m going to use a lifting plate or a tilt up table top. Ideally a lift would be smokin but it’s not in the cards. Does your table top lift or do you have a lift out plate or just do under the top changes?

Nice work.

Looks very very good, like it very much! If i built my own anytime, i will be proud if it tourns out half as well as yours.
Thank you for posting!

Thanks all! – I appreciate everyones encouraging words. The top is a Jessum Ecel Lift Table and fence. One of the more spendy things we purchased, but have never looked back. It has paid for itself many times over.

I like it! How tall it it? I can’t quite read the dimensions from your image.

I cannot accept this as simple this is a reaally well deigned and made table well done Alistair

Thanks Praki & Scotsman! – Sketchup – the best tool in my shop!

Praki – it’s 18” tall x 22 3/4” wide x 23 1/2” deep. I made the cabinet to fit inside the leg framework that I had already built. The one thing I would change is the toe-kick is to low – it would be nice if you could fit your feet underneath the thing while routing ~ maybe shoulda arked it a little.

Awesome work! A winner in my book.

-- Be good or be good at it!

Really nice. I’m a big fan of using “on-hand” materials and creating USEFUL stuff.

Very nice job ….I thought the wood was Southern Yellow Pine though from your pictures . Those fingerjointed drawers look awesome : )

A very good multi-functional, well designed and constructed Router cabinet…..nice one Schroeder.

-- I will just keep doing it till I get it right.

Awesome job on the router cabinet. Its beautiful!
