Router Station

Jim: That is a very nice router station you built there. I like your router bit holders. I have one question though, what is the indent in the front of the table for? Thanks for sharing.

P.S.I know what you mean by your most prized tool, I feel the same way about my router table.

Hi Mike, when you are a scrounger like me, you buy what you can get at the best price. This was a worksuface top I purchased from Steelcase employee sales and it was just the size I needed. I think the indent was for wires to drop down the back of the worksturface.

Thats such a nice looking piece it could be furniture. You could roll that in the house everynight and put you’re t.v. on it .

This looks way too good to keep in your shop. You really ought to put in your living room. Great job.

Thanks Jim, I knew there had to be a reason and being a scrounger is the best one.

-- Mike

really a nice looking piece

Great work Jim! Any chance on getting it in to a future guild meeting for show and tell?

Jim, you did a great job on you entire table and fence system. The woodpecker router lift seems to be a fine lift…even with the modifications you had to do.
One question…why did you cut out a circular section of your top above the top drawers? I have been trying to figure out its purpose.

Greg, read the third comment and you will see why. Fantastic build Jim, It would take me too long to build one like that but I do admire your work.

Great looking router table

That’s a really nice router station, Jim. I have a good Incra router table setup, but I hope to build something as nice as your setup when my skills improve.

(I’m glad Mike asked about the indent; I was wondering, too.)

Hate it when I drool in public…
