Hi twitt

W e l c o m e . . A b o a r d !!

Have tou watched The Router Workshop on TV or on thewoodworkingchannel.com ??

All kinds of Router tables are talked about... they can be a simple or complex as you want them to be...

... kinda depends on how much you use it... does your shop have the room to have a fixed dedicated space for a router table or would a smaller table that is clamped to a workbench, etc. good for your needs?

Take a look at http://www.oak-park.com/ for a lot of good ideas...

Ask all of the questions you want... don't be shy...

Hi Twitt.. If you happen to see a man hanging out of a dumpster, he's OK.. It's only Bobj dumpster diving again.. No need to arrest him..

I made a table out of 3/4" MDF with a rousseau plate for the top, and some shelf board for the bottom.. Nice and easy.. You could get as simple, (plywood screwed to the base of the router clamped in a vise), to as fancy, (full base cabinet), as you like..
