Router Table

Post by clementfeme »

I would like to share a picture of my router table. it is a close copy of Norm's, on the Yankee workshop. The main difference is that I built the sides and back using panel & frame construction. it cut down on weight, but did lengthen the construction time.

Thanks for viewing,

Clement Femelat

Router table is a misnomer. That's a fine piece of cabinetry you are using as a router table. I'd be proud to set it in my living room.

I remember that episode on NYWorkshop very well! At one time I was going to do that project. I think you did your project in Spades!

Very Nice, Clement:D !!!! Excellent Work! I'd be very proud to have an exact copy of yours, if there was room.

Thank you for showing us your project!

Router Table Follow up

Yes Tim That is a SS miter guage on the Table. The Table top is 3/4 Ply covered with a sheet of butcher block formica. I installed a miter rail down the frount. Works great. I have also made a coping sled, and it works even greater. I do use my SS 500 when I can because it is Higher, and I can pull a stool right up to the machine. You see I have had a stroke three years ago, so I am confined to a wheel chair most of the time. I can move about from one tool to another on crutches when I need to. You see, we cannot let anything get in the way of our woodworking.

Thanks for the come back Tim,

Clement Femelat
