I'm new at this so please keep it simple!
I'm building a router table. I bought a tabletop from Rockler. First photo.
I want the table to look like this one so I can put plywood on bottom for a lower shelf. I will not put the wheels on it. Photo doesn't want to sit upright...lol second photo.
This is what the top frame looks like from back of the tabletop. Third photo.
And from the front. Fourth photo.
When I tried to hold a couple of different hinges on it last night ( I want to hinge the top to lift it up for easy router adjustments) it felt like it was binding.
I tried it on the INSIDE of the frame to bottom of the top. Would it work better if I went from the OUTSIDE of the frame to the end of the top? I would need to cut a slot in the plastic edging for the hinge to set flush on the top.
You guys have any better ideas that are simple and easy?
Thanks!
Gary
