Excellent workmanship.

Very nice, Randy. One day, I want to build something like this.

That’s nice! I was just at WoodCraft today thinking about how nice it would be to be able to make my own router station. I’m not quite there yet… but this is a nice one. i will have to get those plans and set them aside for some day.

Very nicely done. I like the contrasting green.

Well done. Does the front portion of the fence spread to allow for wider bits? I didn’t see a way of tightening them if they did. I’m in process of rehabbing my router table it’s built a lot like yours but my table bowed because I used an old cheap butcher block type table top (I was young and dumb when I built it :P) I’m also redoing the fence on mine as well. I’ll have to check out these plans.

This is the venerable Norm Abram’s router table design. You will find dozens of examples right here on LJ. Dan Phalen even acknowledges this on his website, although the PDF file makes no mention of it.

Credit where credit is due…

Variations on a theme…...Stellar…...!!!!!!!!!!!!

Randy, are you going to put a lift in that table? I built th one that Shop Notes had at the start of the year, worked out great, but I did make a few improvements. Take a look.

Oooh shiny! I like it a lot :)

Randy,

I have looked at Dan’s Plans for these and the design seems exceptional, and the plans are certainly thorough.

I am wondering about how much the lot of materials cost you? Trying to get an idea of the relative cost of building. Thanks for any help.
