G'day Folks and thanks for taking the time to watch the video. Just in case you're interested, l have drawn up a set of Metric and Imperial Plans along with a complete Materials and Resource List. This is a great project for anyone interested in getting the most out of their router. Here is a link to the plans. They will save you a lot of time. Well worth a look 👍 etsy.me/3kJODNP

[@pwmmcc1801]

I loved this jig and I think your video is fantastic! I went to try to buy the plan from Etsy, but I couldn't pay because the checkout failed. Just so you know!

[@diyforknuckleheads]

@@pwmmcc1801 G'day mate. Glad you liked the Router Table👍. That's a little strange re the checkout on Etsy, as many people have purchased the Plans without any hassle 🤔 Maybe give it another go and see what happens. Cheers mate and thanks for letting me know 🇦🇺👍😁

[@LegRot_]

Hey mate, love the video. Just wanting to confirm these plans also include the materials and router plate /t-tracks you used ? Love em.

[@diyforknuckleheads]

@@LegRot_ Cheers Legrot 👍.....yes they do mate 👍😁🇦🇺

[@engjds]

You can buy battery adaptors for most tools also, so with a bit of wiring you could fix a on/off switch to the table.

[@temjiu9915]

I really enjoy the look of this table! I'm going to keep my eye open for a black surfaced plywood, looks great (not sure if it's sold here in the US). For those watching this that are starter woodworkers or are unsure if you want to put in the track, a very simple solution for the fence is to move those triangular rear supports in a few inches, then simply use clamps on the edges to hold the fence in place. You don't need to worry about it being square to the table as long as it's square to the router bit!

[@diyforknuckleheads]

Thanks mate and l appreciate the tip. Cheers 👍😁🇦🇺

[@petemiller519]

It's forming plywood used for foundations. Your local building supply may be able to order it. Go to the local builders supply where the framers and builders shop instead of the big box stores. You can also use melamine board with plywood as a backer for a 1 1/4" to 1 1/2" total thickness.

This is probably the best video I have seen about building a simple router table that a slightly less competent than average enthusiast can build. I love the way you marked out the measurements using masking tape, and the “Gotcha” warnings were also very helpful. Thanks for putting this out there!

tip : @7:20 cut the inner wooden guides a fraction short so you can get an exact fit against the aluminum block. A small gap between wooden guides will not affect the router cut

Lovely Build!! - Just wondering how you get wooden edges to stick to the film face of form ply? -- are you using a special type glue or does normal PVA work? :-)

[@diyforknuckleheads]

@@haunthunterify Disagree entirely mate. For starters it is not the same and secondly there would not be a router table on the internet that has not had design similarities to anther router table. There is only so much you can do with it. A similar example would be that there are many car manufacturers...each car has wheels, a steering wheel and a motor yet they all sell their own models.....enough said

[@gregghernandez2714]

This is by far the best looking (IMHO) DIY router table I have seen on You Tube. When I first saw the thumbnail photo of it, I thought you were doing a review of a router table that you had bought commercially. That is meant to be a compliment. I was lucky enough to buy a Ryobi router and table from a guy who just wanted it to do the trim on his kitchen cabinet doors. I only paid 40 bucks for both the table and router! It works beautifully. I may build yours at a later date when I need a table with more surface area. One last thing, if you have any of that black ply left over, I think it would be really cool to build a small T-square to match your table. Great work, thanks!

[@diyforknuckleheads]

Thanks Gregg!...Really appreciate the comment mate 👍😁 40 BUCKS!!.....Now that's a bargain!...well done, you can't complain about that one 😁 Good suggestion re the T-Square....may just have to do that one. Cheers mate and thanks for watching 👍😁🇦🇺

@@davorzdralo8000 I can get anything if I want to pay, but in Australia they get it cheap because it's used for concrete forms. Here in Canada you can often only get white melamine at the local hardware stores and it's expensive.

I just bought these plans, I am excited to make this project as I am new to using routers and I have a samll trim router that i think will work swimmingly with this table. I look forward to building it. I really love your channel and do a LOT of DYI projects, having the router, which I bought specifically to build my hobby desk. I have only used the one 1/8th inch slot bit to install T-Slot Edge Moulding with, it has not been used much. I cannot wait to have this built up to be able to work on many different projects, such as more tool DIY hacks... and some diorama and epoxy art beses. Will update with how it goes. Thanks again, Cheers!

[@diyforknuckleheads]

Awesome! You won't be disappointed David 👍😁🇦🇺 Thanks for watching mate 👍

Not bloody bad mate 👍 A router table is the #1 must have tool in a woodworking workshop in my ever so humble opinion.

[@diyforknuckleheads]

Cheers Kuffy! I've wanted one for ages mate 👍👍😁🇦🇺

like it Sean . I made a plate to fit a Black and Decker Matrix jig saw attachment . Just housed out the wooden plate to fit jig saw and fitted wedges under it to hold saw in place . Its clamped to the bench too but was hard to fit an easy to use on off switch ,would slide an electrical tie over the drill switch . Then bought an ozito router table , it works real well for smaller jobs .

[@diyforknuckleheads]

Thanks Barney 👍 Well done on having a go at making your own.....always interesting to come up with little problems that pop up along the way.....never seems to go as planned 😊 Have a good one mate 👍👍😁🇦🇺

Very nice lil router table, I love it. One thing about router fence: You can but do not need to square it. All you need to do it snuggle one end then pivot the fence to your reference and tight both ends.

[@diyforknuckleheads]

Thanks Marcus 👍.....Yeah l know you don't need to square it but it just me feel good to do it 👍😁

Just pipped by Maker Mackey for first in but what a cracking entry! Added to the #woodjigs21 playlist. I'm liking these form ply workshop jigs and this in particular looks so spiffy with the red plate, blue track and yellow screws. Great Job Knackers! :D Setting a high bar for the prizes!

[@diyforknuckleheads]

I love this video! It's just what I need to make. Thanks for sharing it. Keep your eye out for a second base for your router so you can leave one attached.

[@diyforknuckleheads]

Thanks as always Andy! If you make it mate you won't be disappointed 👍😁🇦🇺

[@duczman76]

i bought recently a 3d printed insert plate for ~20€ where you can easy put the router in and out,so you needn't a 2nd base.my router is from katsu and it's identical in construction with the makita rt 0700c palm router.the accessories and spare parts from the makita also fit the "clone" and with 60€ the katsu is also only half the price of the makita.

[@diyforknuckleheads]

Love the jokes. don’t love the blood but very cool of you to leave in the you are human and not some wood-working guru from another dimension. Really enjoy the content and presentation style. Thank you SO much for not hurting our ears with with so many “ummmms”, “and ummmms”, “uhhhhh”. Even though I don’t always understand the words coming out of your mouth the first time around, I am happy to “rewind” and listen again cuz you are easy to listen to. Thanks for sharing your skills, ideas, and jokes.

What a great table, and awesome entry into the #woodjigs21. I did not know a built-in baseplate like that existed for the Makita routers, I’ll need to make a table just like that 😍👍👍 and perhaps even enter the challenge with it 😜
