Why didn't you glue on a piece of Formica Laminate on top for a smooth durable work surface???

John Heisz - I Build It 11

[@scott8351]

I just finished the router table and lift, It's perfect for my shop. I used 3/4 plywood for the top to add a miter track. I noticed tightening the wing nuts on the fence lifted it back slightly so it was a bit our of square, i just added some masking tape along the top inside part of the fence to make it square. The plans were awesome and easy to follow, just take your time and do each part well. I highly recommend making John's belt and disc sander first, or buying one. Helps when making the round top inserts, the wheel handle, etc.

ممتاز جدا جدا جدا أتمنى لك التوفيق والنجاح في عملك

[@christianlepape6315]

Bonjour comme à l'habitude toujours du travail soigner merci pour les idées que vous nous donner

[@oliverlukossek7214]

Perfekt gemacht. Sehr gute Arbeit schau ich mir immer gerne an.

[@mmmmmmm8706]

I'm just finishing this build up. The plans are excellent. I wish I could build everything from plans like this. Real satisfying process. It's a perfect, solid housing for the router lift. Ended up going with 32 inch wide top to fit incra miter track, Used 3/4 Arouca plywood for box, 3/4 mdf for top and fence because that's what I had. The table is level and solid and the lift goes high enough above 3/4 top to remove bits.

[@mnwoodshop3877]

John.This video could not have come at a better time.I'm actually getting ready to build a bench top router table of my own.So many ideas that I have gotten from yours.Hum.Now I need to rethink my design.Thanks for a great video and new ideas.

[@marvinbenjamin3015]

Very good design. And that lift mechanism looking professional

[@lclement4]

You're so incredibly clever. I really envy you, but you share your plans and techniques with us, enabling us to build things we never thought we could. Thanks, John!

[@MCH58]

Great design - I'm going to have a go at building it. Can't wait. Thanks.

[@donniegaskill1836]

John, even tho I am a novice woodworker, I purchased your plans and have decided to try to build this router table. I will let you and those following your channel how it come out. Wish me luck....Great videos, keep em coming.......Don

[@AntonyHart]

Donnie Gaskill how'd you go with the build?

[@donniegaskill1836]

I haven't started yet. Grandkids and grandkid things to do first. But I will let you all know how it goes when I do get to start on it.

[@canaldoalexandre6562]

Excellent job John, Very good!

[@twoweary]

Great idea John. Yeah, as an electrician I try to avoid metal boxes , just for the fact that you don't have to ground plastic, (one less step).

[@_J.F_]

Wow! This looks amazing and seems to be the perfect solution for a bench top router table. Your ingenuity will never seize to amaze me!

[@wwscott7595]

Great project at a fraction of the cost of a factory made one, plus the satisfaction of being able to stand back and say, I built that (with the help of ibuildit).

[@chopper9ine]

Great Build excellent video and audio description New Subscriber

[@Nortesport]

As always you have built a nice piece of kit there John. Keep them coming

[@giuseppecolombo4701]

Che meraviglia complimenti pupi mettere tutte le misure

[@altracy4570]

Headed 2 Orange Depot ty for the video !

[@xylonguitars]

a Sunday morning treat! thank you for sharing John, it looks great!

[@benzmansl65amg]

Incredible as always

[@bukatasv]

Great work!

[@baconsoda]

Very good. I like how smooth your lift mechanism is.

[@luisbarrientosz]

I like this stuff. This is very useful. Thank you, John Heisz.

[@PhillyFan344]

Very nice John, in due time I’ll be purchasing the plans and building one myself!

[@MoldingWood]

Very nice can be placed anywhere ..

[@baredog2]

Well done John. Really enjoy watching your videos and your approach to creating your projects. All the best to you, Barry.

[@fabiolutzbr]

Very nice router table, I just purchased the plans you provided for it!

[@RoomiesGarage]

Your videos are very well made that keeps me want to come back and watch more love the design

[@nathanb3142]

Nice build and nice video. Thanks for the great work John.

[@LukeMakes]

I really enjoy watching your videos, they are very satisfying!

[@grrarg9319]

John, that is fantastic!

[@mule666]

Real pro sir you are, love youre videos and tnks for sharing youre work

[@Varcuri9898]

Awesome design

[@toddweller]

Great Job! Looks awesome!

[@Mcphilsmith]

Nicely done. Looking forward to making one myself.

[@Woodnfixit]

Very nice, John. I really like this table and lift design. I have a very similar fence, and found dust collection works much better for me when the sliding fences are back beveled 45 degrees on the ends closest to the bit. It seems to help direct the chips into the collection box a little easier rather than them bounce off the blunt square ends. Especially on bits with a heavier profile. IMHO, of course.

[@salvatoresalvio204]

TUTTO BEN REALIZZATO. COMPLIMENTI. SALUTI SALVIO

[@freshpootube]

I would’ve used Tasmanian pine...I’m kidding - this is a great affordable project - good stuff JH

[@niwty]

Blimey John you're a braver man than I am at 1.38. You would never see me firing a nailer towards my goolies! ;-)Nice build though.

[@taharbend3784]

Very very very good ,thank you

[@FredMcIntyre]

Really awesome John! 👍👊

[@OllyParryJones]

Looks like a very well thought out design, John and again, made from less expensive material than some. :-)

[@CitizenAyellowblue]

Thanks John,! I like it so much you've inspired me to build a bench top (so I have something to put it on). 😂

[@stixbymarkbeauchamp8391]

Awesome, love the lift.

[@Kolajer]

Beautiful build

[@taotechnique]

When Im not wood working, I watch other people work with wood... Good stuff.

[@bramhijman4829]

Very nice john ! Im going to make it

[@pjt1965]

Nicely done ✅

[@beetlebailey3034]

This just may be me, but I would not point the brad nailer at the family jewels when nailing boards. Only because I wouldn’t want to explain how I got “nailed” to the ER doctor. 😱😂 Great video, as always!

[@cameronknowles6267]

Beetle Bailey 😂

[@HBSuccess]

Love it John - one of your best projects IMO. Would you consider bundling the table build and lift plans together for maybe $15-17? It’s not the bundle discount as much as the hassle buying them individually.

[@elpibe2020]

Sir, you are the best!

[@sapelesteve]

Wish that I had waited to make the bench top router table that I built a while back. This one is way better! Maybe I can use some of your ideas to tweak mine. Great stuff as usual................... :)

[@aaudain1]

Awesome, great job

[@tropicaltanktv]

As always, nice work, John. On the build and the video!

[@hotrodhog2170]

Pretty snazzy router table John

[@holzmechanik]

Nice machine. Congratulations John.

[@mastersteel1079]

[@brunopasculli293]

[@juginstr1019]

Well done!.Thank you.

[@JamesLucas73]

Very nice!

[@cameronknowles6267]

John your videos have one problem There so good I’ve already watched all of them

[@TheWoodYogi]

Great build John :) The plans look great, but I haven't built from the others I bought from you yet :D

[@TheWoodYogi]

That's wrong, I built the drill press table that I use daily :) It was so long ago I forgot :D I'm really looking forward to the jointer :)

[@BCblackchicken]

Nice one

[@construction-productscemen4935]

Great work.

[@tims6845]

Прекрасная работа!!! Спасибо Great job!!! thank

[@jocosn]

Nice Job!! 讚 !! 👍

[@sparky040887]

I love your wire strap

[@cheatcanyon1]

great job, as always John! :)

[@GregsGarage]

Looks pretty awesome John.

[@domovenok32]

Greetings from Russia 👍

[@bahadursingh1030]

Very. Good. Odea

[@roxannegaudet8723]

Awesome!!

[@forerunnert]

I want one! To bad those cylindrical routers are so uncommon in the Netherlands, makes mounting them so much more easy.

[@nickwood215]

Have you done a video which covers how you built the router lift?

[@hassleoffa]

Hey John, guess I won't see you at the Hamilton Woodworking show. Get in there and do some seminars!

[@cameronknowles6267]

hassleoffa is he going there

[@Alsaaahir2]

awesome Great work

[@riquelmercamargozegarra4048]

Muy buenos videos

[@Mareds]

Bom dia . muito Bom!!!!

[@wolfgollnitz899]

Well done John! I assume by removing your router from your table saw, would make some much needed workshop space available.

[@63256325N]

Well done. Thanks for the video.

[@sigguy1361]

Very nice, John! Maybe I missed it, but is there a reason you went away from the table-saw mounted box and on to a solo unit? Cheers

[@dmmflys]

I just recently rewatch The router build they put in the wing of the table saw. You mentioned using you're old cabinet style router table that you built a long time ago when you had space. Is this one going to replace that one? Thanks for the cool content.

[@con-f-use]

Nice project, thanks for the video. Could I get an update on the drill press table you had in mind and if/when we'll heare more about it?

[@daifeichu]

I will be getting that plans for sure.

[@mvmc1607]

Perfect! 👏🏻👏🏻

[@GoGreenMan]

REALLLLY like this little router table! The router lift part of this is included in the plans too right?! Looks g forward to getting this thing built! Love what you do, keep up the great work!

[@mmmmmmm8706]

Hey John, I'm on the fence whether to build a router table on my tablesaw right side table or desktop router table. What made you decide to build a desktop table and get rid of the tablesaw router setup? Just portability? Or was there some issues with router on tablesaw?

[@alaricy]

it's a goddamn masterpiece!

[@Lazywatchsmith]

Good stuff!

[@林祐民-f9u]

Awesome design Can I provide all relevant materials for reference

[@edwardl.2646]

to bad you dont a have combo for this plans and the router lift plans cool small design

[@victormendez11]

excelente amigo!

[@canaldoalexandre6562]

Isso vai me economizar uma grana kkk Projeto muito bem elaborado!

[@gamerpaddy]

that audio its 5am over here and i had my speakers turned up from yesterday well until you turned on the router haha

[@eduardojimenez1657]

Está excelente la maquina .Pero como se hace la parte del elevador de la Ruteadora Gracias

[@krtwoodetc]

That's got to be the biggest table insert I've ever seen. Planing on mounting a grinder cutoff wheel in there or something to freak people out? ;)

[@JohnHeisz]

10" table saw blade :D Needs to be big enough to access the collet to change the bit above the table.

[@TjallingBlackCat]

Very nice. Are you planning on selling these plans together with the router lift plans as a sort of bundle?

[@jespermikkelsen4416]

Good video! (Must have ben really warn in your shop today...😬...)

[@andersax1]

4:43 blew my mind. :)

[@createdbycay8704]

Rolls Royce of router tables! Any reason you're finishing it with poly as oppose to wax? I would assume that wax gives it a smoother surface? - Cay
