This is a shorty SS as a base, a simple top (actual size to be determined as I go along) and my Bench Dog router lift.
In the pic the top is just sitting on there. I have not bolted it on yet. It will be supported by a set of extension table post with the top removed. That will allow me to adjust the height easily to suit me. My back decided years ago that most router tables are too low to suit it.
The next step is to flip it over and install a set of SS casters I have. I think that is likely my next to the last set I have.
After the top is sized and beefed up a bit I will remove the "way" tubes and then the bench tubes and the top will keep everything solid.
I have no intention of putting a miter gauge slot on it. There will be an assortment of fences, jigs and dust collection points as well as sleds.
Most router stuff (other routers etc.) will be stored in / on a storage tower that will sit near this table but stuff directly related to this table will probably be stored in a hanging cabinet under it.
Another crappy picture... an update recently put a new camera setup on my phone and I have not figured settings out yet. I should spend a little time sorting it out.
