Very nice job there Zach! Looks like it is going to work just fine. A fence doesn't have to be very fancy at all and for a basic fence yours will work great if it is straight and true. There are a lot of posts and threads on fences here that you might get info from. Study some of the fences from people like Rockler, woodhaven, benchdog etc. Enjoy it and be safe!

Zac, that looks like a very fine table to me, I think that you and fourleftpaws are likely to end up with tables better than most of the more experienced members,of the forum, keep up you're good work.

Looking good Zac

Here's a tip from a old cabinet maker ( think face frame ) this will cover the plywood edges and give you a nice clean job,,,by using pocket hole screws way, BUT you did a nice job on your router table

Zack - very nice job - if I did not have so much time in mine I wish I would of made a real cabinet (but then again a finished cabinet would not go with my shop.) But mine works so well, and I have no dust at all.

You did really well on your cabinet....Great job!!!

Here is a photo with my new Woodpecker lift kit in it, this is going to be so nice, but my wife said as its a Christmas/birthday gift, I can not use it until Dec. 21 - boy am I going to have to wipe away the dust until them.

[quote=Fourleftpaws]Thanks all for the comments
First – I never thought about the hinges – will work on moving them or hiding them to make it look more professional.
I agree on the air flow for the DC. I do think I have enough air moving as it comes through the hole where the bit is, and two long slots ...

Hello Fourleftpaws

From past air flow projects, a quick and dirty way of changing air flows would be to space the door open by 1/2" or 3/4" and see how the pattern changes? One can also use duct tape to seal off say the top or bottom while leaving the remaining area open. Technically one can have close to the same amount of opening area in as the vacuum out lines, minus a minimum of 10%, 20% max. I believe the term is 'balancing air flows'.

My portable table is UGLY also, however it does the job!! I may even paint it some day!!!

Enjoy!, Lou

Looks great to me.
Best thing is it cost little and does a good job.

I think you should call it
The Super Mega Fugly table.

Well I needed another outlay table for the table saw - after building it I remember that I had the Rockler router plate left over when I replaced it with the Woodpecker router lift kit - and so I had to do something with it - so guess what fell into the outlay table...

I found that the dust collection system was wrong so I build in a closed in system and it now works even better.
