Looks very good to me. How did you do the cut out. Is there an edge to support the plate? Are you going to use a fence and miter? Thanks for posting the photos.

I like what you've done with mostly "found" material. You've given me an idea that I'd never considered before........checking with local cabinet shops for their scraps. The guy who built our kitchen cabinets 18yrs. ago used all his scraps to heat his shop by burning them in an old heavy metal mail box he made into a wood burning stove.

I wasn't confident enough to start right away building my own table when I had very little experience with a router so I took the easy way out............I bought one. I bought mine from Hartville Tool and It's a very well made table. Rockler also has a nice one but they were sold out when I bought mine. Hartville's is covered with high pressure laminate and Rockler's is covered with melamine. They aren't cheap ($169 with the fence) and you would still ahve to build some type of box or stand to set it on. They both will drill the plate for your particular router. Later on I may build one just for the fun of it but the one I got from Hartville is so well made I'll use it until I wear myself out. I'm not trying to influence you one way or the other............just offering an alternative. I could not be happier............in fact it's too pretty to use. No matter which way you go it wont be your last. Good luck
