Hi my name is Joe and am new to this forum but I am the guy you are all talking about. Would like to clarify a few things. I built my first router table in 1989, sold my first dozen in 1990. The original idea came from the "wood magazine". In 1993 "American Woodworker" came out with their ultimate router table. From these two I took both ideas and combined them into the RT1000. Sometime in 1995 or 1996 Norm from the NYW copied the router table from the "American Woodworker". You people that are stating that I stole his plans are misinformed. I was building and selling these table while Norm was still working with Bob Vila "This old house" and have invoices to prove it. The NYW has been aware of my table and site since 1999 since I went online. Before calling people "horse thieves" I recommend you check your history. I would have gladly responded to any questions. Thanks Joe
