Don's Woodworking Pages - Router Table

This was another very long overdue project.  My previous router table was a built-in on the left side of my old table saw.  Since that saw didn't survive the trip from Washington to Virginia, I had to replace it (and was glad to upgrade it to a great jet cabinet saw).  Anyway, I since have not gotten around to replacing the router table.  And it's been quite difficult working without it.  So, I finally got into gear and around to building it.  This is a stand-alone version, built primarily after the design from New Yankee Workshop with several tweaks and modifications of my own and from advice of others.  It is constructed of 3/4" maple plywood for the carcass and 1/2 inch baltic birch plywood for the drawers.  These drawers were my first attempt at using my new Jet dovetail jig.  It worked great and was easy to use.  The drawers are strong and look good.
