Mini Router Table

[@cwradio4571]

This is what makes KZbin fun. Free plans like days of old. A nicely done project an video. Everyone wants to sell something an has to me ruined KZbin. It was really fun years ago until most all have tried to be a business with it.

[@ДмитрийСиница-й7м]

I've had the chance to use this table a couple of times now. It's fun to whip out in front of people:) I can see what people are talking about when they say the legs are delicate, but they're design to support a "mostly" vertical load, not be torqued from the side or pushed back into place. If you just let the table open or close on it's own and don't force anything, it works great kzbin.infoUgkxyFZUPFEey-PuqsPMxqaykBhgA1LWxFHh Once it's set up, it's pretty solid. My only gripe would probably be related to the clamps provided. They're not the highest quality. They do the job, so no big deal, but they could be better. All in all, pretty cool gadget.

As always, reading the comments is a mixed bag. All i know is, this is my third Patrick Sullivan video, and i'm hooked. I've built my brother a new router table that i've designed with the help of other you tubers, and i'm scrapping the whole thing after seeing this. I just downloaded the plans, and hope i can get it to him by christmas. I'm slammed with building a large (10' x14.8') cabinet, but will whittle away at this most cleverly designed, and versatile little table that will be perfect for bro's two car garage shop that he still manages to keep two cars in. Anyone that can't see the awesomeness of this table over a store bought one either doesn't do any actual work with these types of tools, or is simply trolling. Patrick, if you read this, sincere thanks for giving back to a trade that must of given you something wonderful to allow you the joy of sharing all of this to all of us. It is appreciated believe me!

[@ronnewton606]

because i dont sleep well i have found myself benge watching your videos at 3am. they are great, lots of very good ideas. thank you...

[@michaelboisvert7821]

Very nice of you to offer your plans for no charge. I also appreciate your attention to detail.

[@kennethlemke9826]

I love doing personal projects and time has no bearing to me. I sometimes have a long term project that I might work on 30 minutes a day or a week. No different then any hobby/job I usually learn things that I apply to other work. If you don’t use your creative mind you no longer become creative. Love this small router build myself. I have a large table and I like to leave it set up for everyday jobs. The small table is ideal for small one off projects and not changing out my large table. Most people use several routers each having different bits. I believe I have at least 5 plus a small battery DeWalt hand router. Keep up the great projects and ignore the haters. I’m 76 years old and learn new things daily. I have seen many wow ideas to use even from projects I will never build but it they can apply to other projects. Excellent work

[@r7j7t7]

My God. Who would give this video a thumbs down? Patrick that router table is simply a work of art. Thanks for putting all the work into posting the video and plans.

[@Dumbc0mment]

It's the best tutorial I've ever seen. There are just instructions, no useless anecdotes, you go straight to the point. Bravo!!! Chapeau!!! Every tutorials should be like yours

[@christiangeiselmann]

Phantastic tiny router table! Ingenuous fence clamp mechanism!

[@haroldrull4943]

Just the one I need as a hobbyist. Did a lot of routing without the table and it seems hard . With router table would make my job way easier. thank you

[@catherinehargreaves1691]

Thank you Patrick. It's always a pleasure to see your videos. They are always first class with lots of good ideas and plans. I understand now with you being a retired surgeon. Take care with your health. Keep up the good work. Lignator Jack from England. (Lignator: Latin for "Wood Collector")

[@Baz4934]

Patrick your a life saver with these days now with not being able to get about you have come up with a very interesting labour of love. Your plans and of mini Router Table is something I have been looking for for quite a while thank you very much. 100%

[@disgustinghandsome1282]

These types of videos make me want to quit my truck driving job and start building stuff. So satisfying.

[@VaiSatchie]

Probably the best homemade router table on here. Great explanation and you even give free plans. TOP BANANA.

[@tjbrison]

This is a cracking video and a great router table. Years ago I made several monster floor standing router tables and they were all good - I still use one today. But a small table like this has a million uses, that the larger tables can't do - you can't put them in the boot and take them to your friends house to help out on a project for instance. Great video, thanks for making it!

[@liddell98]

Hi Patrick, I'm new to wood working, and just finished building this router table. The video and plans made it simple. Thanks for sharing. I added a taller fence that could be removed from the original fence with dust collection coming from the top back of the fence. Plus made a 2' x 3' table the same height as the router table with a cutout in the middle for your router table to snap in, helps with big jobs. I leaned a lot from following your design.

[@Farmboy1544]

You have built and demonstrated, the best and most complete router table plan on the internet. Nice job!

[@neousagi]

This is far and away the best mini router table I've seen and the amazing thing is the plans are free! Thank you!

[@jimmy_jamesjams_a_lot4171]

NICE BASE!! The original, poly-carb one I mean. I love your video here. You’re great, especially the way you epoxied the thinner MDF to the thick one. You’ve taught me the name of a new tool I need: gouge. THANKS A BUNCH FOR SHARING!!

[@babylon5952]

I have been wanting to build a small table for my Dewalt DWP611. This will do the trick very nicely. Thanks for sharing these plans. Now I have to get in the shop and get busy.

[@markhopkins7204]

First, thank you for the sharing of knowledge, and the engineering to make this table. I believe the craft of woodworking is so important and people like you, Mr. Sullivan, obviously feel this as well. It's a sin if you're not teaching a woodworking shop somewhere. Thanks again!

[@dufreebell]

After watching this video, I can’t resist myself from subscribing. Great presentation.

[@joeblogs8589]

Thank you Patrick. I appreciate your trouble and willingness to put this in the public domain.

[@aleksandrsvalisevskis2039]

Wow! I am planning to build my first router table and this video is by far the most feasible and understandable from the dozens that I have seen so far. Thanks for publishing it!

[@ChrisDac08]

I’m unsure why, but I was a bit skeptical at first. Then, I watched and became increasingly amazed at how incredibly awesome this little router table is. I can’t wait to make an attempt at making one.

[@scottyeh4181]

After searched so many bench top router tables on KZbin, thanks to your excellent detailed video that inspired me to make one. I would add t-track, vacuum hole, feather boards and stops on fence in additional to your great plan. Thank you Patrick.

[@trustnuffin9121]

This is a really cute looking piece of work......it looks happy to be alive for some reason...... I don't need want but I really want to make it and look at it every day !! Excellent and concise work by the way !!

[@FantaBH]

So far the best compact efficient router table I saw on youtube. Thank you.

[@romikotchan]

this router table is the most beautiful and intelligent planned, filmed and explained I have seen in the internet. I definetelly loved it, I will follow your channel inmediatelly! Thanks for all the master knowledge you share. Greetings from Argentina.

[@Dorweaver]

Did you hear that? That was the sound of you knocking that one out of the park. Like, well outside of it. Bravo sir!

[@JonTullett]

Great little table, love the precision and little touches like the magnets for the wrench

[@FJD333]

Really enjoyed that. First class woodworking, but the camera work is amazing. You couldn't ask for a better view of what's happening. Thank you.

[@runfox_4780]

Wow Patrick I have watched so many videos of making a router table, but I wil work out of my garage in a very small space and this is the first one I have seen that is really compact ,yet looks excellent, thanks for all your hard work in making and giiving the plans, just ecellent!!!

[@terryblackman6217]

Thank you for sharing plans for this project. It is a pleasure to see such clean and accurate work. The pleasure and satisfaction you get from making your own accessories is immeasurable.

[@RR-yy2xm]

Wow! i thought i have gotten good in this new hobby of mine , i thought i would make a video about it, after watching your video i feel like a child, I CALL THIS THE PERFECT VIDEO ON KZbin BRAVO!! well done sir, thank you.

[@CARACHIBOY]

Just Wow! You seriously made life of others soo easy and did a very hard work to complete it.. Thanks Alot!

[@MultiBiaaatch]

Normaly i do not comment anything on youtube but in this case i want to thank you for this quality content! There is no „i want to be funny“-blabla and no commerials to anything, your skills are amazing and you thought about every bit. This is the stuff youtube was made for. I am very happy that i found your channel and i gave you a thumbs up and a abo. I‘m looking forward to new videos. Best regards from germany!

[@LabworksVapes]

I downloaded the plans & built myself one double the size & one at the same size...Amazing as a jobsite router table & the larger one has taken centre stage in my small workshop, Thank You Patrick for this design..

[@guyboulay9900]

Magnifique travail ! Voilà un Monsieur qui sait travailler proprement et avec méthode.

[@gregghernandez2714]

Mr. Sullivan, you are a true Craftsman. I will be retiring soon, and I am planning on converting my garage into a workspace for my projects. It will be awhile before I acquire the woodworking chops that you have, but you do inspire me, and many others, also thanks for the plans. Wonderful work. You have a new subscriber.

[@HunkyBrit]

Thank you so much for your effort, Patrick. I have subscribed to your channel. Very interesting videos, and professional working practices, unlike some other KZbinrs, who often seem quite amateurish. I also MUCH appreciate that you're sharing your plans, for FREE to boot! Again, all credibility to you. Many charge for this; yet yours are free, very detailed, professional, and truly well thought out and designed. Your positive attitude to making stuff oneself, instead of buying things, is also refreshing. It's building my confidence to know that one can do a LOT oneself. You, together with Ron Paulk, and Brit Workshop with Peter Parfitt are my go-to channels. Many thanks, and long may you continue!

[@alnhlnd1]

Thanks Patrick! i find your KZbin channel easy to understand & educational, that's the beauty of wood working you can always learn new things, you have become my new favorite looking forward to old and new advice, " Just Keep Building Things & i'll Keep Watching Them :) " Take Care Patrick your creativity is awesome to watch.

[@horiap77]

Congrats and thanks! This is by far far far away the best diy project for wood working tools. The steady hand in that little saw is like Schumacher of woods cutting, the wrench slot with the magnet, the surprise bits holder and finally finally someone use the cam nut from bikes quick release (so natural :) I already had that idea watching others blunders). Great to offer plans for free, others ask money for very basic designs.

[@Ben-attas]

I like your project. You can tell there is so much expérience behind your way of doing things. Thank you for generously sharing such amount of good tongs. You inspire me. Merci

[@dangkolache]

How serendipitous, I just got one of these routers for a late Christmas gift and was thinking of building a small router table for it, great plans! Thanks!

[@Twoholesofman]

One thing I really love about these videos is your description of tools as they appear on the screen. As someone who is just getting into woodworking, this is invaluable. Thanks again.

[@antoherfert7017]

Es hat mich fasziniert zuzusehen. Danke. Sie machen das toll.

[@thedogfatherjt2243]

I don't have much space, but I'll only need the router for smaller stuff, so when I read the word "mini" I clicked. I didn't know what to expect, so it was a nice surprise. I like how you engineered this router table. It's a bit "complex", but that's exactly my way of thinking. Of course, I subbed! Thank you so much for sharing AND providing free plans.

[@BillLiversidge]

Thanks Patrick, Really good presentation and detail, but perhaps more importantly this is a grand little router table which I think will suit my needs completely. Thanks again

[@ЕвгенийГоровенко-м2ы]

This is probably the best table I've seen, and the best tutorial

[@Kenjaiz]

It's beautiful.

[@b.w.oostdam8875]

Greetings Patrick. After being away from woodworking for moren then 10 years, I picked it up again and bought a DeWalt router. Then found your desing on youtube. I build it and and although I made some minor mistakes I did manage to build a correctly functioning one. I must say I am very pleased with it as I already had employ for it. Thank you for the design! (although it is not as easy in metric as you might think :-) ) Also it would be adviced to prep each side as much as possible including using the roundover bit to make the edges easrier on the hands when lifting and using the table. Thank you again, very happy with it.

[@dougsteenhuis3700]

I love it! Hands down one of the best instructional router table builds ever. For a 30 year old voice your hands look 70. Or for a 70 year old you sound like a 30 year old. I imagine you singing the next video description.

[@jim_deterra]

Thank you Dr. Sullivan - I'm going to attempt to build this myself! Being a computer programmer I'm often afraid to attempt projects like this, but seeing that a retired physician can do it PROVES that ANYONE can do it! ;-)~

[@hiroki958]

Big Respects from far east Japan!!

[@keithholdsworth4125]

I recently started looking for such a project and after about 10 video's...finally! One that is neat and accurate and not over engineered. Thank you too for the plans....very helpful! I can now make one of these and take it up to my wife's art studio as a gift for her. Thanks again for a well produced video.

[@rootvalue]

I can’t imagine how long this must have taken to draft, test, build, film, edit, upload and publish the video and plans. And it’s free? Thank you, friend.

[@TJsFX4]

Hakeem Hasworth I can only imagine how long. Best one I’ve seen on YT

[@MihaiCadariu]

This is a Ferrari equivalent for router tables. Excellent video!

[@gattonpc]

Dude use your brain "mister" constructor.. he gives the plans.. you can multiply the measures of the plans and make a bigger one.. or in your case.. go with BOSCH cabinet..What a negativist person... Yeak...

[@sethbracken]

Brandon S you make good videos.

[@thorlo1278]

Brandon S I have been woodworking since I was in my twenties and am now almost 67. I know a know it all when I see one, and you are so full of yourself you reek of narcissism! You seem to have more money than brains. Go buy everything you desire, some of us are on very limited budgets and can't drop a load of cash on whatever.

[@GarlandLym]

This video was incredible. I love how great the video/audio production is. The project is awesome...I have to make one of these. As a side note, I loved how it made me feel like my Grandpa was teaching me another thing to learn. So many years ago, he was just like this, so meticulous...specialized tools and craftsmanship in a way that just isn't done anymore. Its fairly easy to find a helpful youtube video....much harder to find one that genuinely makes you happy.

[@pauldriscoll6319]

nice to see these professional work. really fun project and well demonstrated.

[@carminedecicco1753]

Thank you for being so generous with these plans ! Very good tutorials .

[@medregio]

Awosome!!! Sharing knowledge is for few people. Congratulations from Brazil.

[@davidjesse8689]

Thanks for sharing your plans and designs. I got here looking for ideas on how to build a simple, and easy build router table.

[@Sebastopolmark]

WOW - that is the BEST "mini" router table on the tube. Additionally, the video AND instructions are top notch. You should be very proud of yourself. Please keep the vids coming and thanks again! !! !!!

[@wayneduncan5656]

Very impressed with the features built into this project!

[@PilotJirons]

This will be the first router table I make. Goal is to upgrade eventually to a larger more versatile version eventually, but this is the best table I have seen for its size. Well done!

[@chm1701]

Great video with clear instructions and even a free pdf download. Superb. Thanks so much.

[@wayne19922006]

I'm so glad I came across your videos. They are some of the best. Good job!!! ...and thank you for the plans. I'm retired and wood working is a new found hobby.

[@rsamaran]

Brilliant job Patrick, very impressive. And thank you for the free plans too. I like the fact that it's detachable too.

[@Alex_science]

What a nice table! Very well done and finished. Congratulations!

Thank you so much for this excellent guide. I really appreciate that you also include metric when giving the measures :-)

Hi Patrick, Great video on the Mini Router Table build. I really appreciate you supplying the plans for free. I have the Makita battery operated model but I'm sure I can make the table to suit. Thanks again mate from us in Australia.

[@thorlo1278]

Mr. Sullivan I loved the little router table you made. Thank you very much for the video and especially the free plans. Thank you very much.

[@andybarnett4060]

What a beautifully engineered design! Love it! Only minor mod I would make is a split fence option so the bits can be "buried" when necessary. Definite thumbs up from me!

[@garysouza2277]

I've just discovered your channel and have to say you have the most concise, clear instructions, with the end result looking like store bought product. Thank you for providing the plans for free! Subbed and will be following you.

[@ryanwilson3126]

I don't have a router but I want this table. Great good looking build.

[@gordonchapman222]

If I made something as good as that I would probably never use it, rather I would put it in a's display case and just admire it. Fantastic job Patrick, thanks for sharing 5⭐'s

[@Dan-jq8se]

Excellent tutorial, thanks for sharing the video and the plans. You are a natural instructor.

[@bradturbo44]

[@francescoscardoni658]

That's simply fantastic! So well conceived and executed. I am a router neophyte and am convinced that this table (if I ever get around to making one) will be perfect for my needs. Thank you so much Patrick for making this and for having shared it for free. Very much appreciated!
