Router Table

This is one GREAT router table!!

The fence looks to have everything you would need to assure safety and serviceability.

I am like you, I like to have my table tops and machines a bit higher than “normal”. It’s easier to see and my back doesn’t hurt as much after a day in the shop.

Wow! A fine piece of furniture for the shop! And functional too! A router table upgrade has been on my todo list for some time.

Very attractive, and very serviceable. I’m also someone who likes surfaces a bit higher, although that’s an apparent contradiction to my reputation for dragging the backs of my hands when I walk…

Well done!

The router tables around here just get better and better. This version is GREAT!

Outstanding work! I can see you put a lot of thought into the details.

Nice table! I like mine tall too. I don’t worry about pushing down on the workpiece as much because I use hold down feather boards. So it’s more like pushing the workpiece through the table.

Sweet! Great looking shop furniture. I need a router table! I have the plans for the NY, one of these days I’ll have to get to it. I have a Freud fence system sitting in a tool box drawer just itching for a table to put it on…:)

Nice looking router table. Thank you for sharing.

-- My favorite piece is my last one, my best piece is my next one.

Great looking router table!

-- You're a unique and special person, just like everyone else.

Of all the router tables based on Norm’s design I have to say this is the best one I have seen. Your table is beautiful.

Great router table!

Thanks for the post

Crap, I don’t have a router table that nice!

I think Norm has influenced the router table more than anybody else.

It is a nice looking table and I know that it has to be a pleasure to use. It is always deeply gratifying to make a project and then be able to further your production and abilities because of that project.

IT IS COMMPLEATE AND PROFISHINAL.

Thanks for all the nice comments. This was a very rewarding project and much nicer than I had before.

Beautiful piece of craftsmanship Bigdog. wow.

-- Better to say nothing and be thought the fool... then to speak and erase all doubt.

I had posted a router table in my table saw wing a few days ago. Should’ve distanced it from this post. Wow. Fine work for the shop. The cherry score at auction obviously has made your shop prettier than most. Alas, it’s MDF and plywood for me in the shop. I’ll have to keep my eye open for some slightly abused hardwood. Very nice post.

Bigdogs,

You can bark loudly and proudly on this one; a classy workshop speaks alot about the owner/operator.

-- I can so I wood but why are my learning curves always circles

I’m drooling! Very nice!!

-- Pie

that top just looks awesome….

-- When in doubt - There is no doubt - Go the safer route.

WoW! Very nice! Smart and practical.

You need to add a towel rack so the rest of us can wipe the drool off our faces.

nice job. puts a little kick in the behind to get 2 done for the school shop before August 15th? You anywhere around St Louis? That would be one less for me! (just kidding) great job!

That’s a beautiful piece of furniture. It belongs in the living room, and not the shop.
