I registered on the website a little while ago, but haven't post much. I will post some projects done in the past, hope you like it.
I have dreamed of router table for a while, and finally get it done. The idea is mainly from NewYankee, Wood Smith magazine, and the book "Working with the router" by Bill Hylton.
First is the box:

The table top is made of two 3/4'' MDF with plastic laminate on the surface, and edged with ash hardwood.

The dust collection is efficent with testing, a few chips left.

The fence system is from Woodsmith with some changes, I tried with a test cut, it turn out as excellent design.

I borrowed the miter gauge from my craftsman table saw
http://i182.photobucket.com/albums/x47/zhi_t/RouterTable/DSCN3077.jpg
The electrical system uses 14 gauge wires, with 15-20 amps switch. I dont' know if that's enough for my Freud 3 1/4'' HP router. The test cut is ok, don't know when I ran the panel bits, if that's still enough, any comments are welcome.
