Router Table

[Gerry Lopez]

This is my "first" real project. I want to thank everyone here for sharing their experiences and knowledge. This forum has helped me so much and will in the future.

Great start to a project that I'm sure you'll use a lot!

[Bill Huber]

Looking good and that is a good project to start with.
I have found that I use the router table almost as much as my table saw.

The main thing is to have fun doing it.

Great looking table!

Did you use pre-laminated MDF or did you do that yourself? I have been doing it myself lately and it can be a bit tedious, MDF sucks the glue up very quickly.

Now is the time to start a photo album on you profile. These photos are a great start. Later on when people post questions about router tables you can answer their questions easier with less text and a link to your album.
BTW, great job.

Your lumber cart sure looks familiar. :D Good job in the router table, bet you get some good use out of it.

I love the design.

Are you working from a plan, or something you through up yourself? What kind of materials are you using?

[Gerry Lopez]

Thanks for all your comments.

I modified the plans from FWW, made it bigger and did not use the open base. Will be adding drawers, shelving and DC in the future.

Used 2 pieces 3/4 mdf with formica lamination. Yes, mdf soaks glue. For the lamination I used 3M spray contact glue.

Most of the construction is birch ply. Did use some lower grade ply for the cabinet box. Should have stuck to birch ply, the cheaper stuff was bowed, harder to work with.

Will update pics as I continue on this project.

Thanks again,

G.L.

Nice RT.
The best part is saying "I made it". :)
