I was going to reply to Rev. 1 of the table:
(Kind of like a hooker... Ugly... but endlessly functional)

Now I see Rev. 2:
Great looking table!
(Decent looking hooker, if you will!)

Here's hoping Mrs. Noddy isn't looking on

NEVER, EVER talk bad about a tool that works for you. It will repay you in the like.

Fourleftpores, you have proved that you're moniker is a false description of you're abilities, it's time for a name change! Now, apart from you know what, can I suggest an upgrade? I'll suggest it anyway, I personally hate clamped fences, it is so temporary and requires two hands to adjust. Forgive my attempt at drawing, but perhaps these shots will illustrate what I have in mind.

By each end I mean each end of the fence and the threaded handle is just to show what I use.

Harry - very good idea - I will work on that and the hinges - thanks........and if I could change that "Ugly" I would remove it.....I was too hard on my router table...What I now really love about the router table is the fact that I have very little dust or wood chips at all.

By name change I had in mind "fourleftpaws" that describes someone who is hopeless with his/her hands, you could be prosecuted for being in breach of the trades description act 1997 as amended in 2001!

(I still have those big old hinges - am working on that.)
Looks G R E A T to me...

Nice going!

I like both, the first and the revision. Sometimes, simplicity can't be beat. I also agree, something that looks professional is nice too.
One of the greatest lessons in life is, make it simple, then improve it later, then you can improve that and so on.

Keep up the good work.

If it works for you that's all that is important. From all your vacuum equipment I would say that the dust and chips cops will never get you!
