Any less pricey, router, table options, or just the plate insert, that works just as well with the Delta?

I bought a used RA1181 so I can try this on my Delta!! I’ll let you know how it turns out. Either way, thanks for posting this, seems extremely thorough.

Yes I’d buy them in a second

Lmao 😂 That is exactly how i am with my precious De Walt tools man. Can't mix them up with any other brand. Strictly De Walt. Two thumbs up Bro

You can use white vinegar for Weeds. I do that all the time. I got a little red funnel and open the jug of vinegar and just hold the funnel over the top and it controls the vinegar in a nice little stream. Round up is really poisonous so I wanted to tell you there is an effective alternative.

Obviously you are doing very well. I liked very much the way you teach. Anyway, I also have the Rigid Table Saw similar to King, Bosch Router same as you have and the Router Table which fits in perfect in the cavity of Table Saw. Now after five years I am in process to change my Router Table using Baltic Burch and purchased Jessem Lift, since the Bosch Lift made me crazy with its stupid Allen Key. It was no accuracy and no simplicity to move the Router up and down with that Aleen Key?!?! Three years passed from your video. Possibly you came to the decision making as I. I cannot understand the German Engineering/Bosch designed such stupid lift?!

the result of this Video ,turned out a really nice looking ToolBox ! I’m a retired ProfessionalWoodworker with over 35 years in the commercial woodworking Industry my main focus was Installation in that Profession but I also contributed a fair amount to Estimating and Bidding for The Contracts ,plus worked inCustomerService I was in Upper Management for many years

Very cool. I have that same router table but it never dawned on me to do what you did. I love KZbin for a platform for people to share ideas. What an amazing world we live in.

Great work! After the router table is mounted, does the saw seem heavier on that side? I'm wondering if adding a few legs below the router table would help.

I like it definitely looks better than harbor freight tool box. And wood helps with rusting in high humidity areas.

Nice job!

14:00 Unless RoundUp is sponsoring your video, you and your viewers may opt to use 30% vinegar mixed with some salt instead. It's organic and 100% better for the environment. Use once or twice every season.

I would buy a set of plans too, damn nice work

Only flaw I see you have no way to access the router for lock and unlock. Maybe change the front panel to a half door

😍😍😍👌

If only you had a router you would not need screws

I have a similar situation in my pantry. Thanks for all the ideas!

How Would you compare railroad ties to the timber you used? Great video, so helpful, thank you!

Awesome build! I'm currently following your example, building exactly as described. I like that you've separated the video into two parts, for those who want to do the same dust collection as you, or try their own. It was a bit hard to flip back and forth, though, as I was building the dust collection box before initial install. While I would've preferred the video to be fully linear (Build dust box before installing into table), I can understand why you did it that way. Thanks a lot for the excellent idea!

Awesome video ! What is the function of the base before the rock ? Keep up the great videos !

Nice!!! Do Weeds grow?

if you still have the sketchup plans, ill convert them for you and you can upload if you want

yes pdf plan would be great

How much gravel did you order (tons) out of curiosity?

So by packing it down, do you feel as you walking, or driving on it, that the rocks kinda moving around under your feet or car tyres, or does it stay sort of stable? I'm curious because I asked around, planning to do the same thing, lots of folks said, because of the size of the rocks, there will be a bit of movement always, it won't be as tightly packed like with base coarse gravel. It turned out awesome btw, thanks for the video.

Correction: Clean-out on your downspout is 100% necessary!

Dump trailer to haul out dirt, have all your stone delivered next time. Looks painful getting that dirt off that utility trailer. 🙈

@ourblackhillshome7556 can you remember what size the rebar stakes were? Im currently attempting a gravel patio.

Are there any router lifts compatible with this? How do you still like this set up?

Adding some stain and preservative to the underside of your border might be a thought great job !!

Thank you for posting this information -- thumbs up. 👍 May God bless you and your family.

The problem for me is my non existing friends don't have a back hoe I can borrow

I just finished making an L shaped driveway at my cabin. 15 yards of soil, 15 yards of 3/4 crush in a wheel barrel. Great feeling when completed

This looks really great! I'm curious how it's holding up after 3 years, and if there's anything you would have done differently? I'm considering something similar in my yard and crowning it at the center to encourage drainage along the border rather than any subT PVC. Thoughts?

If these plans were detailed and in PDF format, I would buy them right now. Just bought a home built in 1910 so this would fit in perfectly.

Wow, you are an exceptionally skilled Craftsman! I am quite certain that your Toolbox will last and that you will enjoy what you built for a lifetime! Plans; Tour; and A Review, Absolutely Yes! Well done, Sir!

Where do you take o what do you do with the dirt you remove?

Nice job

you have missed one part

You my man gotta nice parking pad !!👍

Nice work. Just got my Bosch router table with the intention of mounting it to my 36-725. Glad I came across this instruction video. It sure will help. One thing I did to my router table was to drill out holes in the slots that are used to tightened down the fence. I drilled and filed a hole in the back side of each slot. This hole is just large enough to get the head of the fence hold down screw through. This allows me to remove the fence without having to go under the table each time I want to get he fence out of the way. Not sure how often that will be but will make it easier if need be. With your dust collection set up it does look like this would not be too much of an issue though. One other thing I did is when I build my saw I put the foot pedal for the wheel on the other side. This was a couple years ago. Glad I did that so after the router table install I'll still have easy access to the pedal.

Skip to 3:00 minutes for the most intense part.

What type of rock is that?

Lol here I am, living in Rapid City, googling videos on extending my driveway with rock... And I find your channel.

Great video. I'm curious though about the ra1181... I've never in my life found one to be flat. (Bosch Tools North America has a notoriously flawed cast aluminum system. From things as small as their PL2632 hand planer, to the Saw Shoes, to the 1181, they've all had warping,... traditionally in a corner to corner warp.) The older Bosch Router Table top, the RA1180 was a 10/10 in design and execution of tabletop quality. I'd pay $200 just for the old 1180 tabletop these days.

That 3/4" inch looks more like 3/8". Plus I think the rail heights are different on my saw (left to right) so it would be different measurements on each side. Also I attached a piece of wood (3/4 x 6 x 24) to the router table with some drywall screws on the side that's closest to the saw blade. That automatically makes the router table flush with the saw table on that side then you just need to deal with leveling the outboard side.

What model table saw is this?

YOU DID A GREAT JOB KID-THANK YOU I HAVE A RIDGID TABLE SAW AND THE SAME ROUTER TABLE WILL FIT EXACTLY!

awesome.....Im planning this in my BOSCH 1181 & DELTA 36-T5100

Great video. No drama. No BS. Just good info, easy to follow. I think I will do that. I have the Delta a model down from yours I think. Cheers.
