I recently sold my integrated table saw, miter saw, and router table combination. Instantly I missed the router table and wanted another one. I half thought about just buying one but then thought, "It won't take that long to build one." Last words.
When I bought my Kreg Jig I bought all of the videos as well. And while I looked at several plans, the Kreg Jig Plan seemed to be the easiest. I had already purchased the Jessem Router Lift. I had made a router table top before and I already knew I wasn't doing that again. So the decision of which top to get was pretty easy. Jessem Router Table Top here we go!. And then it only made sense to get the Fence to go with it. If I had had the money I would have completed it off with the Jessem Miter Slider but that cost more than the fence or the top. Maybe next year.
So with the DVD in hand I started this project. It was pretty easy to follow along but there's a few spots where he doesn't give all the measurements and you have to guess. The one feature that turned out better than expected was the dust collection.
I'm going to finish this off with three drawer trays in the bottom and then I'll be done.
