gotta love them trolls, this is one of the better diy router tables I've seen so far

[@andrewford80]

It's got nothing to do with trolls or someone hating on the channel. It's to manipulate the algorithm such that they get recommended videos different to this one. Don't take it so personally.

[@MichaelBrown-kk6ck]

Had a statistics prof years ago who, in doing surveys, liked to see a few negative responses as they lent credibility to all the positive ones. So a few negative responses can be a good thing as long as there are not very many.

[@stillmation]

One of the simplest and best I've seen. No need for hidden dovetail drawers or fancy stuff. It's a tool. Well done!

[@HaasGrotesk]

Dude, I was up till 4 in the morning yesterday binge watching all of your videos! Just discovered your channel. I follow a lot of makers/woodworkers on KZbin but you're one of the more interesting ones. I really like how you make so many great things with the most basic tools in your garage. I don't have any place to set up any tools yet but I'll be buying a house soon and as soon as I do I'll be building that workbench of yours! It's just awesome, like all of the other stuff you make! I think what's really good about you is that you make the stuff for "the common man" without a large warehouse workshop. Most of us have a garage or something even smaller so all of the stuff you make is really meant for us. Keep up the awesome work! I really look forward to seeing more of your projects!

[@OneMinuteWorkbench]

Thanks man! It's always the best compliment when someone says they've binge-watched my channel...I love it! It seems like you get the point of my channel too. It's all about being space and time efficient....and maybe leaning towards the frugal side too. I'm glad you're digging it, and appreciate the compliments!

[@adriantrain2037]

I always like it when people make a mistake or change a design on the fly like you have and you filmed the whole thing. I'm a welder not a wood worker so things like what you have done helps out a guy like me . I've gone big on my router table, which is a mistake as I've tried to over complacated things, your vid has helped me out in a big way. I will mash together what I have already with your design I think........ thanks heaps for your content upload......

[@clifeagle5202]

Not only did I like the router table, I liked that neat little wooden vise you used on the drill press. Same construction technique. Cool.

Nice job. I wouldn’t worry about making your dust collectors airtight as a few gaps will actually enable/improve airflow

[@dfu1685]

Very well done and superb problem solving. This is just what I wanted to do, because floor space is a premium and I don’t want a whole router table. Thanks so much and well done!

[@OneMinuteWorkbench]

I’m glad you found it helpful!

[@andrevanopstal2143]

Great idea. For me it is important that I can easily put my router in and out of the table, because I only have one router. Maybe I'm going to figure out another method for that, but with your design you're already helping me a long way. Thank you for this video. Greetings from Flanders.

[@OneMinuteWorkbench]

Thank you! I'm glad you found the video helpful. I would say with the current method, it takes about 1 minute to mount the router, and about 30 seconds to unmount it. It's not instant, but it works for me (I also only have one router). I hope this helps!

[@talltimberswoodshop7552]

Amazing how a small amount of materials and some thought can produce a very usable piece of shop equipment.

[@OneMinuteWorkbench]

That's pretty much my whole deal....how small can I make something that is still time and space efficient. Thanks for the comment!

[@FranksDIY]

Well my opinion is that it is a great space saver and well functioning tool that can be put away . Love the build and it would be ideal for small shops

[@OneMinuteWorkbench]

Thanks for the awesome feedback!

[@christofix]

I had the same idea. especially for people with a small workshop like mine, this is very useful

[@CemlynJones1952]

Great stuff. It’s clear that many of our tools can be mounted in the same way if we start with a bigger vice than we would normally need. Design the vice to receive all our tools. Great idea. I will certainly modify this idea. Impressed.

[@OneMinuteWorkbench]

Thank you! I’m glad you enjoyed the project!

[@MJFacas]

Great idea. I love that you took it too the next level with a fence and rulers. I have one suggestion. Build supporting parts on the underside of the table to prevent possible sagging or warping over time.

[@OneMinuteWorkbench]

Thank you very much, and thank you for the suggestion!

[@audusau195]

Hint: If u pre-heat Metal before hotglueing it does not only givve u more time to put your workpiece into place, it also makes the joint much stronger Alternative Hint: If u cant preheat, apply the hotglue to the wood. It will cool down slower and give u additional time.

[@OneMinuteWorkbench]

Thanks for the tips!

[@oddjobbobb]

Excellent tip!

[@polleke59nl]

Just made my own router table. Thanks to youre video. I also added an emergencystop.

[@OneMinuteWorkbench]

Nice work!

[@MwgaGeorge]

I have been contemplating on buying a new router table, but being on a pension, makes for a hard decision, will I or won't I situation. But after seeing you make that router table, I know which way to go. Simple in design, but very functional without the huge price tag. Thank you for the easy to follow video. I'll be keeping a close eye on your channel. :)

[@OneMinuteWorkbench]

I'm glad you found it useful! Good luck with your build!

[@georgievvladimir]

7:12 Router is a tool that contacts with the material (wood) in a point (unlike circ. saw where we have a line), so the fence position does not matter at all. All you have to do is to set the distance between the router bit and the fence. You can try to "missalign" the fence, give a try and take measurements after ;)

[@OneMinuteWorkbench]

Thanks for the feedback! I actually thought about that when I built it, but I couldn't think of a better way to pull a measurement than having a line perfectly centered with the center of the bit. So when the bit is installed, in order to measure from the center of the bit, the bit itself would have to have a pin-point marking on it....none of my router bits have that sort of marking. It can still be done, you just have to measure to the outside of the bit, and then just subtract one-half of the size of the bit from your measurement in order to get the center dimension for your cut. As long as you're okay with doing some simple arithmetic, that method is fine. However, there is another problem with that; when measuring from the outside of the bit to the router's fence, there is a cutout (for dust collection) on the fence right where you would want to put the end of your ruler or measuring tape. It could still be done, but you'd need to raise the router bit up high enough that it is higher than the cutout on the fence, subtract 1/2 of the bit size from your center-dimension, measure to the outside of the bit, then lower your bit back down to the right height for the cut, then make the cut. So with all that, it seemed easier to just install rulers. Pretty much the only downsides to the rulers are that they take a bit of effort to install in the first place, and you have to have two of them. Let me know if this makes sense!

[@oddjobbobb]

Very good build! Thoughtful, minimal, clean. A few errors but thank you for including them as it is so helpful when duplicating you’re effort. Thanks for taking the time to share. “Excellent work young man!” (Gotta love TLJ in US Marshals. RIP Noah Newman. So sad you had to go.)

[@OneMinuteWorkbench]

Awesome, thank you! Glad it was helpful!

[@digitourz27]

I purchased your plans for the One Minute Work Bench. I think I'm gonna incorporate that to the backside top of the bench behind my miter saw. Haven't started building the bench yet, but it's gonna be a fun build and very useful. Thanks for your ideas.

[@OneMinuteWorkbench]

Thanks for the support, and good luck with the build. Keep me posted!

[@RichardMerrill3Hawk]

Tommy, I love how you solve problems in such great, imaginative but simple ways. Great engineering with minimal tools. My shop is too small for a bunch of tools, but this table I can hang on the wall! Might make me get a router, finally.

[@MrRlitcher]

I bought the plans for the vise and I really liked having the help of plans to finish this item. I think the bolt at 3 inches is wrong by 1.5 inches. But I have made your moxen and the router table as I have very limited space and very limited skills. Thank you for laying the idea out I made a few changes, on both items due to my limitations. Some day I will inlay the rulers. Ha.

[@OneMinuteWorkbench]

Thanks for buying plans and letting me know how it’s going - I appreciate it very much!

[@The_man_himself_67]

Great project. I have a tiny mancave and need something I can pack away and doesn't take much space. This is perfect.

[@EricRoy85]

Nice! Having a small shop, this seems to be the best option for me to make. Love how quick and easy u can take router out and use in hand when needed. Thanks for sharing. Edit: thanks for sharing the fact that you used cheap HF rulers. A lot of brand snobs in woodworking, but personally as a weekend warrior, and pay check to pay check guy, I have to cut costs down whenever possible or find a work around for certain tasks. Anyway, thanks. Much appreciated

[@OneMinuteWorkbench]

No problem! I'm glad you found the video useful and I'm glad you enjoy my frugal-leaning approach. Thanks for the feedback!

[@williamcastleberry7338]

Don't let the brand snobs bother you. I spent my whole 40 + years as a carpenter. Yes I drove nails for over 40 years. I do have a lot of name brand tools. But it hasn't always been that way. I started on a shoestring budget and worked my way up. Getting better and better at my trade and better and better with the tools I had. Don't let them tell you that you have to have a certain kind of tool to do something. There's always a work around that will give the same results with a 25 dollar tool instead of a 100 dollar tool. I'm living proof of that. I would not buy a tool unless It would pay for it's self with in the first couple of jobs. I don't like to brag, but I have had customers wait for a year for me to get to their jobs. I would tell them up front how long the waiting list was. We don't care, we will wait for you, we don't want anybody else. So Learn your tools and what you can do with them. And be safe with them, They can hurt you in the blink of your eye.

[@rapsy1699]

I really enjoyed this "how to" video because it was so simple to build. Other router tables on youtube seem to be more complex than they need to be. This will be the one i will use to build my router table. Great design!

[@XiraArien]

Nice work. I’ve been looking for making my own table for a while now but nearly every one else has a fixed router. Yours is the best design I’ve seen so far. Only comment is I would make a slot for the router foot in exact size on the underside - this way you do not need to make the alignment every time you mount it as it would be fixed.

[@AGregPalmer]

Tommy, if you glue a ring of small blocks with a champher on them around the router then it will self align when you take it off and reinsert it. Otherwise you may want a storage spot for the alignment block under the table..

[@OneMinuteWorkbench]

That's a great idea! Thanks for sharing!

[@papounetpatenaude]

I'll be making this! My current setup, under my large work bench, is too cumbersome to access. And I realized, that I don't need such a large top surface. Thanks!

[@OneMinuteWorkbench]

[@pemtax557]

Very clever and feature laden. As typical for your project builds, you can see where your problem solving was at work through the whole design. As a retired engineer, it's fun to see the creative juices at work. Nicely done video, I fully enjoyed it. Cheers!

Wow, Tommy, you kept my attention the entire time. If I had not already bought a router table, I would be in the garage today trying to build one like yours - some great features. I can see you are developing some techniques for doing things that you can then use in future projects - like your little handles, buried rulers, etc. Great job. I am an ardent fan - your ideas for a small garage workshop are terrific. Next I will look for your video on the home made disc sander.

[@OneMinuteWorkbench]

Thank you! Let me know what you think of the disc sander!

[@mikeprell2747]

Having seen a lot of router table builds and so far, this to me is the most practical. What's more, I think that even an old fart such as I, could build it. Thanks !

[@OneMinuteWorkbench]

Thanks! I’m glad you dig the project. If you do end up building it, let me know how it goes!

[@markkoons7488]

This video is the only place I've seen using a hole slightly smaller than the point-to-point distance of a hex head to capture a bolt in dense plywood. I've been telling people for years to capture nuts for knobs this way. Properly sized, the only way to get the nut out is to destroy the plywood. No adhesive necessary and the nut in the hole is self-squaring the first time it is drawn tight.

[@fromthewoodshed]

That's the table build I've been looking for, simple, sturdy and precise. I'll be building one of these for sure, cheers.

[@stuartodell1709]

You could have used guide slots to help keep it squared. I did like this idea as it allows for space saving and not having a lot a of single use items taking up room.

[@4x4xGMC]

I thoroughly enjoy the simplicity of your router table. I need a table to cut finger joints without going out into the cold and using one of the big tables in the shop. I was looking at various table tops and costs would be anywhere from $200 to $300 to have the basic items and features that I would need. I intend to skip any type of router insert plate and mount directly to a piece of half inch birch ply with a second piece of half inch birch plywood laminated to the bottom of the first but cut out big enough for the router to pass through. I need to place a 3/8" miter slot for my Incra IBox along one side so the two half inch layers will keep the strength needed for the top. Thanks for your video.

[@OneMinuteWorkbench]

Thank you, I appreciate the compliment! Let me know how it goes with your version. I'd love to see how the miter slot and the Incra jig works out.

[@huwdavies5264]

Hi Tommy, That project for me is absolute genius. I built a new work shop last year that I thought would be big enough for my needs. That was a silly assumption, already having to prioritise space. The one thing I need is a router table but can't justify the floor space. This project fits my needs perfectly as it can be broken down when not in use to save space so it is now on my must do list. Thanks for this one. Cheers, Huw

[@jack303030]

Nice build! One hint though. Now that your router is aligned correctly, you could put some blocks in place so you can always put your router on the same spot without having to check the alignment.

Thank you, and thanks for the tip!

[@canlelola]

Yea, I think something like that would be great for the mini router I want to get. But I am lucky and have access to a CNC. The ruler part was really bothering me, but what you did has given me a few good ideas.

Hey, I was really fascinated when watching your manufacturing this router table. Great idea, super processing, super result. For me it means to purchase a new router with an elevator, as my own router is a very simple one, without lifting device. But I think I will build this router table when I'll have bought a new router. Kind regards from Germany

[@jeffhull3713]

Great video, quick and easy design. I wonder if you could save a step and use countersunk bolts to attach the router? Might not need the alignment block. You could also glue on a 1/4" MDF layer with the router base cut out or add alignment blocks, that way the router always aligns the same way.

[@OneMinuteWorkbench]

Jeff, that's a great call on the countersunk bolts. The other ideas might works as well, but I bet the countersunk bolts would do it. Thanks for sharing these excellent ideas!

[@strandloper]

Nice build. I have only a single garage for both car and workshop so am always looking for compact solutions. I would have to buy another router specially for this though unless I can figure out how to add some fine lift control for my plunge router.

[@OneMinuteWorkbench]

Thank you - I'm glad you liked the project. I'm not sure how to make it work with a plunge style router....I'd need to experiment. On the plus side, non-plunge style routers are relatively inexpensive compared to the plunge-style...which is why I don't own a plunge style 😂 Let me know if you end up building something like this. I'd love to know how it turns out!

[@terrybell4032]

Great idea!!! I have a vice type bench that I mount all my tools on. Fortunately I am getting far too many tools for this to be a viable option any longer so I am working to build a work table. Now I like your vice mounted router table, but why use the vice? Drill some 1/2" holes through the table top and using T nuts on the underside to mount tools. This would enable you to use the bench vice without removing the router table. Since the holes in the table would all be uniform, and uniformly spaced you could be able to put each tool where you find you need it most. That's my plan. And I am very good at making plans. Getting it into wood is another matter entirely. :) So if you are in the habit of communicating with the carpenter in the clouds, mention my name. I need it. :)

[@OneMinuteWorkbench]

Lol - this was a fun comment to read! I thought about building it right into the bench, buy I'm not certain that's where I want to go just yet...lots of variables at play. Also, I wanted to make an option that was available to more people than those with certain types of workbench tops. It is a good idea though, and I might do it some day. Thanks for taking the time to give some feedback and let me know what you thought. I hope you get the time to transform some of your plans into reality!

[@musicbymark]

Heating the RULER & keeping it hot before pressing it in would have helped, but I'd use epoxy, but don't find benefit from rulers; I just measure from fence as needed. Awesome DUST collection; mine lack this & I might rebuild to improve this essential feature. These are really useful; I gather/buy up any cheap router I can and make (simpler) mini router tables for my favorite bits and hang them from the ceiling. :-)

[@OneMinuteWorkbench]

I thought about heating the ruler, but there was cork on the bottom (should have showed that in the video), so I figured the heat probably wouldn't hold anyway. The real problem though was the cheap glue gun wasn't putting the glue out fast enough and adding new sticks was problematic, which also slowed things down. I do like having the rulers in the table. My table saw has one, and it's actually pretty darn accurate, so I figured I might as well see if I could have rulers in the router table with similar accuracy - it came out great. I do like the idea of having lots of routers hanging around (pun intended), but they always seem pretty expensive. Either way, thanks for the feedback. I'm glad you found the dust collection feature helpful! Thanks again for sharing!

[@Richard-dh8ny]

Great table Tommy! It's now on my To Do List. :) If you get a chance I have a couple questions.... 1) what's your method to ensure accurate height measurements for your router bits?

This KZbin channel is amazing, I honestly believe that you are a great KZbinr, I have scrolled all the way down to the bottom and you have liked and commented on so many comments, you really have taken time and consideration towards your viewers, keep it up, you’re a great youtuber

[@nwinburn]

Thanks, Tommy!!! I'm totally building this one!!!

[@GeorgeSchwab]

This is awesome! I wonder if a couple of triangle brackets made of plywood underneath that rest on the outside front face of the vise would be useful to help avoid any warping over time with the weight of the router pulling down on the table?

[@OneMinuteWorkbench]

It probably would - that's a great idea. You could also probably just use runners that were say 1-2" wide, rather than triangles. That way the base still stays compact and can still be stored in a drawer. Thanks for the feedback!

[@illecebris8709]

Great design and it is always a pleasure to watch your craftsmanship! Thanks for sharing..🤝

[@OneMinuteWorkbench]

Thank you! I’m glad you enjoyed it!

You may have been fast enough with the glue, but hot gluing metal is tough because it just wicks the heat away from the glue

[@OneMinuteWorkbench]

I'd agree that metal would wick the heat away, however these rulers have cork on the bottom....so it turns out that I'm just not that great with operating a hot glue gun 🤣. I think the real problem was that it's a "mini" gun, so the sticks aren't very big and the gun went through the first stick so quickly that I had to fumble around and find another one to keep applying glue. By the time I found it and got it loaded up, it was enough time for the glue to cool down some. On the second side, I set out a couple of sticks for a quick change-out, but when I tried to load a stick, it got stuck in the gun (it's a cheap gun) and I had to reseat it to get it going. Again, it was just enough time for things to start to cool down. Your feedback is very good though - the concept you presented is very valid. I went back and looked at the video and realized that I never showed the cork on the bottom. So your comment will be helpful for people watching this video who think about adding hot glue to a metal surface. Thanks for sharing!

hey man thats really nice and very simple thanks for building it . In a small shop like mine this would be GREAT!

[@OneMinuteWorkbench]

I'm glad you found it useful. I'll be posting plans sometime within the week, so if you're thinking about building one, check the website in a few days to see if they're up yet. If you do build one, let me know how it goes!

[@ShopNation]

Nice job, Tommy! 👍🏼

[@OneMinuteWorkbench]

Thanks, Travis!

[@po_thiago]

Pretty cool jig! I liked the way you built it, thinking about features as you went on, changing your mind mid-process and then fixing things. Sometimes planning too much keeps us from actually doing stuff. Nice video, thanks for all the great content you put together for us!

[@OneMinuteWorkbench]

Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed the video, and you're very welcome! Sometimes it's nice to plan...and sometimes it's nice to fly by the seat of your pants!

[@larss337]

Great idea! I will definitely build one myself. I'm thinking that this kind of device could also hold a smaller jigsaw or circular saw. I wonder if I could build an interchangeable device that could hold either of the three? Putting on my thinking hat...

[@OneMinuteWorkbench]

I'm glad you like it! Let me know what you come up with!

[@po_thiago]

Hey Lars, one way you could do it is to build a box with a replaceable top, or a permanent top with a replaceable piece where the router and saw would fit! ;)

[@OneMinuteWorkbench]

I dig the replaceable top idea. Good stuff!

[@miloudbenhamouda9230]

Very impressive work Good continuation

[@OneMinuteWorkbench]

Thank you!

[@AlphaNerd132]

god DAMN it. You keep inspiring me to do shit. I have a router that would be PERFECT for this job. It's body/base is WAY to flimsy for the power that it outputs. so it jumps around like a wild animal.

[@OneMinuteWorkbench]

I'm glad you're inspired! Good luck with the project!

[@jackjones7615]

Thanks for making me smile what a great little jig.

[@OneMinuteWorkbench]

I'm glad to know that you enjoyed the video!

[@mikecardinal3475]

Great idea! Headed out to my small shop today, December 25th. Can't wait to get to it. Thank you! Merry Christmas and happy new year.

[@tonbuitendijk]

Is handy for small shops, going to made for my shop.

[@OneMinuteWorkbench]

Awesome! Good luck with the project!

[@akguitar2626]

The most beautiful kind of wood i've seen. What kind is it?

[@OneMinuteWorkbench]

Baltic Birch plywood - I hope this helps!

[@terrygooglewassgoogle1767]

Nice. I shall be making one of these.

[@OneMinuteWorkbench]

Great! Good luck with the build!

[@jackdotzman2908]

Very nice video. Going to use some of your excellent idea, i.e. the foam lined box and the use of hot melt glue. Nice job. From Missouri, JD

[@OneMinuteWorkbench]

Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it and found some useful ideas out of it!

[@nw24153ns]

I love your various builds as you are very creative. I hope to be able to get/make these projects before I die but I'm closer to the end than the beginning. lol! Thanks for sharing!

[@OneMinuteWorkbench]

Thank you so much - that's quite the compliment! Here's hoping you have many years yet to come!
