Angus, There are many ideas on how to make the best router table top. Ready for a revelation? They all work. The Router Workshop table top is 3/4" thick baltic birch plywood with laminate on both sides. The close supports provide enough rigidity to keep the table from flexing. The ShopNotes #1 table plan I first built uses 1/2" plywood topped with two 1/4"(or one 1/2") layers of hardboard covered both sides with laminate. Both of these designs are wrapped with hardwood trim. I prefer having the laminate covering since you can make lay out pencil marks on it that stay reasonably well, and they clean off easy when you wet them. Other members prefer different methods but they do all work.

RT1000

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

Hi Joe

It sounds like you and Norm need to thank wood magazine for the plans and the help they gave you and Norm to make tons of money with one of the plans.

BUT I don't think anyone on the FORUM called you a horse thieve, Russ said he recalls some history in the salty isle,but he didn't say it was the RT1000 maker.

I have a hard copy of the Norms plans for the router table ,it must be 10 to 12 years old by now,I didn't dig it out to check the date on it because it's no big deal,because every thing is copy write now days.

"Russ Morash traces his ancestry to that salty isle and is sure his folks would be shocked at the theft. He recalls some horse thieves in the Morash history but no intellectual property crooks."

So the bottom line is ,good luck with your sells on the router table.
-----------
Just for kicks I did dig out the old set of plans and the copywrite date is 1996.

Joe, I owe you an apology. When I am in the wrong I admit it and in this case I seem to have put my foot in it up to my neck. I am very sorry and will edit/remove any negative comments at once. Please forgive this blunder and continue to interact with our members.
