[Dadman]

Hi, real name is Lars. I have a new 11amp Skill plunge/fixxed base combo router, a gift from the wife. I have no experience or knowledge of routers except what I have seen on the show. For the projects I have in mind, I know a table would be greatly beneficial. Money is tight so I can't go and buy a nice table like I would want. I could get a cheap one for about $70.00, or is there a plan available to build a nicer one? I have router bits already, and I am excited to get going on these projects. Any other sugestions and advise is also welcome.
Thank you.

Hey Lars! Welcome to the forums! Their are many plans out there to build a router table. One of them you can get from http://www.oak-park.com. It is the one I used to build my router table. Cheers!

Welcome Dadman, I also just joined. I built my own table from a plan I got from a magazine I could probably find it if you are interested. There's a picture of my table on my web site. Take a look.

Hello Lars, I resently joined as well. I also have just completed my own router table. Evaluate your potential needs as to size and then google "router table plans". There is an amazing amount of information at your fingertips. If you still want help or have questions, you could not find a better place to go than here. Best of luck, and I hope you decide to build. It is a rewarding experience to create something useful, and it will expand not only your skills with a router, but also your capability to work wood.
