Router station

Wow, looks busy, but useful. I need to do something similar, but it also needs to be a router table.

Looks like a good design especially if your space is limited good job trevor.

I have to admit that I’m totally lost on this one…perhaps because I’ve never used the Leigh jig. With the router mounted above the table like that I’m guessing this is not a “router table” but something unique to this jig. What is the big black box opposite the router? Just when you thought you’d seen it all…

Hi all – I’m with Ian on this one. Looks like an interesting tool, I see the dovetail jig below, but I still don’t understand what’s going on. I’ll ask the great gurgle machine. Is this something like a “multi-router?” that I’ve seen on TV?

Very neat setup, Trevor!

That’s way too organised. With that in the shed you run the risk of being productive!

Nice table you’ve got a lot going on with that rig.

Ian & Blinky in answer to your questions, it’s basically a stand to mount dove tail jigs & my tenoning jig on (it’s not a router table) The unit with the router sat on top is a Trend mortice & tenon jig. The “black box” you mention is a small dovetail jig that I mounted back to back with my tenon jig so I don’t have to set up every time it’s all in one place & ready for use. The shelves below contain various cutters & accessories & the leigh dovetail jig which I use for dovetails & isoloc joints on wider boards the reason I made this was to sit the jigs higher so it was less fatigueing to work & I could work on longer boards to cut dovetails & tenons. Hope that makes it clearer.

Very practical !

That’s exactely what I need!

Can I borrow the idea?

thank!

Yep you can certainly use the idea that’s what Lumberjocks is about if I can furnish you with any additional info let me know. although apart from enough table space to mount your jigs on for me the important number was the height A) for working on boards up to 44” B) Comfort. I measured from my elbow in bent position to the ground & that’s the number I came up with give or take ( remember the jig itself adds a couple of inches to the height , If you’re 6’ 6” tall it will obviously be more but for width & depth remember the stability issues. These particular dimensions are 43” height 44” wide top is 18” x 44”
Sides are12” x 42” & it sits on 2” locking castors & at that it’s very stable.
Good luck
