You can mount a router to a piece of plywood very easily. Remove the sub base plate and transfer the holes onto the plywood, drill them out and with some longer screws attach your router. This should take less than an hour. Flip the board over and clamp it to a pair of sawhorses and you have a simple, easy to store router table. You could also build a simple box and clamp it on a bench. Some people use old cabinets or even a desk to install their routers in. Whatever works for you. The Oak Park box joint jig requires you to drill two holes in your table for mounting. They can be at any angle on the table top as long as the router bit, and space between it and the guide strip are the same size. The holes are drilled in all three guides so that if one fits, they all fit with these same two screws. There is no simpler method, and the UDPE lets the wood slide like silk. You use a wooden backer board, stand your piece on end and run it across the bit. Now set the slot you just cut on the guide strip and repeat till all your cuts are made. Perfect every time.
