Now, to my question. I am in the process of building the router table described in Bill Hylton's excellent book Woodworking with the Router. I'm actually proceeding very well and am having a lot of fun building it. But I have a problem. I have no electrical training, and while I want to wire in the switched outlets that are described in this (and other) router table plans I've seen, I don't know how. Does anyone have a schematic or other diagram that can show me how to wire this up properly without electrocuting myself? 
Additionally, if anyone knows of a good two-button pushbutton on/off switch, that would be great, too. I've seen the Rockler one (with the throw-type switch and the outlet on the front), but I'd really like the peace of mind of a "green on, red off" two button type.
Any help would be great! I've been lurking here for a while, readin up on your previous words of wisdom, but could not find anything on point here. Thanks in advance for your assistance!

Hi BW...
First of all, you always want to switch the Black wire... Now, if you don't know what I mean by that, BUY a switch.
I don't know what Rockler sw. you're talking about, BUT this is their new designed switch... Same as the other Red / Green button sw. except a flapper / paddle has been added to make it easier to turn it off; otherwise identical! I always like to get them On Sale... have no idea when this NEW one will go on sale. It is a GOOD switch.
I was doing what you are doing one day... then I saw this sw. on sale for $15, which was cheaper than buying the parts and wiring them together!! So I bought the sw...!! Works great... and it's alot easier to install too!!
