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.
