Really nice job on the fence and the stand.
How long did it take you to paint all those router bits the same colors?:jester:

HOLY $h*T, a 100 jigs? wowHi Kevin
" bobj3, just how many jigs do you own??"
Too many, I would guess over a 100 or so..
=====
pictures of each would be to much to ask but i would love to know
what each is for, even that would be a monumental task!
do they all get used very often or just a few?
i just got into woodworking and the first things i have been making are a few jigs.
====================================================
anyway, not to get off the subject, here are pics of my table.
its a new Eagle America that is no longer made but i have decided to turn
around and sell it, i want a cabinet and a top with different options.
Geez Bob, took ya 4 days to count the routers... Pleeeeze don't count the jigs, we want you back before July/August:laugh::laugh::sarcastic:Hi Kevin

Hi
Most I use all the time, I have been trying to consolidate many of them to do more that one job.
I have posted many of them that you can see in my Gallery and what they are for and how to use them..
If you start at the end of the gallery it's quicker but it can take a bit of time to see them all.. ( just over 8,000 snapshots)
I do love jigs, I started out like most with small items ,turning wood, making toys,small furniture,bigger and bigger furniture,boxes,etc. so now I have no more room in the house to put them so now I make jigs takes less room to hang them in the shop but I do love wood working and making saw dust..

I see I am not the only one that likes to do router work closer to chest level.
I like it too. Function is important.
My Table
This is not a pretty table but it is very functionable.....I just added the "feather rollers" to the table last week and they work great.. I went to HD and purchased two sponge rollers that are used for painting and attached them to the fence. They are adjustable and do a great job holding the work in place while router is working the boards.
Thanks for looking..........

Brad, I'm a retired IT specialist....I always liked to have my keyboard almost at chest level.....easier to work with things, when you're up close & personal......

Kevin,
I thought about this for a while and it is really hard for me to tell you what I think it is worth.
My only concusion is that others are looking for the same features you are in a table.
It is a much nicer router table than I owned for many, many years.

it really needs to be seen in person cause the pictures dont do it justice.
i have it listed on Craigslist
i first started the price at $250 and after 5 or 6 weeks it has been lowered several
times and now rests at $190
i wont go any lower then that, i think that is more then a fair price!

WOW!
When I started this thread I had no idea that it would keep going this long. Thanks to each and all posters. Lots of great stuff here,
"We showed you ours, lets see yours...LOL. Has you son built his table yet?"
James, Three of mine (The ones I use Most) are with my first post! I have 2 more, but they are the old craftsman, portables, not worth showing!!!!
Unfortunately the VA has told my son that he is 100 disabled and must close his business. (Long story) He don’t have room in his garage for all his tools, we don’t know what he will be doing at this point.

Unfortunate news about your son, Harry.
Lets hope he gets a chance to use some of the tools occasionally.

Welcome to the forum.Here's a table I built this winter. The top is Peachtree as well as the Fence system. The plate is Highland Hdwre. and the router is Hitachi w/a router raizer. The castors are Bench Dog and the switch is from MLCS
I keep seeing these great tables. I am just chomping at the bit to finish mine.
Do you have any more pictures with the assembly process?
I like to see what different approaches people take to building one. I will take any ideas I can get.
