Done. Finally. The project was a “weekender”, which took me 3 weeks. But, as we all know, it’s the journey not the destination.
During construction I was able to use all my tools, which is part of the reason for doing this. It enabled me to get familiar with them while creating a project of function, vice display. So here it is.

This is another project that looks to be finer than just a shop tool, well done.

Great router table! This will become very useful in your shop. I really like the pull out “dust drawer.” You may want to consider later adding a door over the front section. It might cut down on dust and noise.

I like it! If you didn’t have a table already, you will find yourself wondering how you lived without it.
Just curious…. Since you were going to the trouble of building one anyway, is there a reason why you made it a benchtop and not a cart?

Looks like dust collection was a priority. Good looking table.

Well done Airfield. Can’t use all your tools on one job, must be a good excuse to buy some more.

Nice work! I especially like the tilting top feature you’ve added. I’m in the process of converting an old kitchen cabinet into a router table, and will add this tilting feature.

Nice table! How did you hinge the top, piano hinge? I’m putting together a table and want to hinge the top.

Nice set up. When I made my tilting top, I have mine hinged on the left side instead of the back.
I like yours better, because sometimes if I have something hanging on the wall behind it, & gets in the way of the top when I lift it it.
You can see mine here.

A great looking router table. It should see many years of service.
That is a thick looking top, what did you use?
