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.
very nice!!

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!

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,
