It's greatly to see you upload a new video. I'll probably do this project in the near future although probably not with a Woodpecker router table. Budget constraints you know. I just wanted to say thanks for the education. I've never built cabinets before but watching your videos and using your tips I've managed to build new cabinets for our kitchen and my wife loves them. I've been working on it all year so far and am about halfway done. Being retired and living in north Georgia it gets too hot in my shop to spend much time there. Now that the weather is cooling off I'm looking forward to getting the kitchen finished. I looked at dozens of videos on KZbin to learn what I needed but I found myself coming back to your videos every time I needed to work out a problem. Keep up the good work and again, thank you for the education.

[@stephenwilliams4118]

Great to see you back posting

[@jessekurisko5659]

Router table and cabinet looks awesome. I have been binge watching your videos for tips. In 2 weeks I gotta rebuild a full kitchen layout for my aunt. I’ve only built cabinets for myself. So this will be interesting

[@Boog7625]

Love the look of the cabinet. I have used Grizzly power feeds for years. Very nice addition when working by yourself.

[@Geppetto04]

Great video… glad to see you putting out new content. I have a new Jessem router table and now I know what to do next.

[@barbarianatgate2000]

Very nice build! I think the only real change I'd have made would be changing the router bit storage to individual drawers, or at least making the trays removable so there's unobstructed access at all levels. I know it's more hardware, but I think it would provide much better results. Other than that, this is a stellar build!

[@GreyMaulkin]

I was thinking the exact same thing. Going to get fingers jammed in there.

[@dtork47]

Great build, I need one! Thanks, stay safe.

[@michaeldean2053]

Great job. Loved the build.

[@Bartbobo]

functional and looks great

[@jumpinjimmy69]

That’s awesome!! I wish I had one like that. Building cupboards and work bench in my garage, would be great to have a hardware jig to assist with my finishing touches!!!

[@PaxtonSanders]

Nice build. I'm glad you kept in the problem with the power feeder. It really is informative for me, at least, to see what works AND what doesn't work.

[@eastcarolinawoodworks]

Thanks for the great feedback! 👍🏻

[@jimrosson6702]

Very cool router table turned out great looks amazing

[@papascruffy]

That looks great

[@brown_dog_builds]

Sick setup and great build video.

[@Bfridlund]

Great router table build. I don’t have a CNC or 3D Printer so I’ll have to drill the holes at 2 different sizes. Keep showing us your builds, they are inspiring.

[@eastcarolinawoodworks]

Thanks for the great feedback! I do sell the router bit storage inserts if your interested. And far as the CNC goes you don’t have to have one to drill precise holes! I just got that machine in the shop so I was just pumped to use it and try it out 👍🏻

[@nickolasfordley5105]

great router table build. I love that you utiize every bit of open space you had efficiently.

[@eastcarolinawoodworks]

That was the whole goal 🤙🏼

[@RussWilsonII]

This is a timely video for me! Thanks for the ideas!

[@eastcarolinawoodworks]

Glad I could help 👍🏻

[@mikeh4924]

Great build and great video! I just did my router table too. For anyone else out there, you can use a straight edge and a razor blade to score the acrylic and then snap it. Table saw is faster, but its a good alternative if you want to avoid those chips shooting back at you.

[@eastcarolinawoodworks]

Thanks for the feedback and pro tip 👍🏻

[@rickchichester9327]

Awesome build

[@eastcarolinawoodworks]

Thank you 🙏🏻

[@robb9079]

So glad to see another video, love your content man, you do excellent work and do a great job explaining what you're doing. Looking forward to the next one!

[@eastcarolinawoodworks]

Thanks man I really appreciate the great feedback 👍🏻

[@chartnett0627]

Looks awesome man. Those black and red bit holders match perfectly.

[@eastcarolinawoodworks]

Thanks for the great feedback and I agree 👍🏻

[@skylier36]

Great video, your design along with a few others are giving some good inspiration for how to set up my shop.

[@eastcarolinawoodworks]

Glad to hear that 🙏🏻

[@jimrodman2378]

Nice build

[@michaelgutierrez6564]

I just purchased an employee myself. Looking forward to getting it all set up when I find the time.

[@FearsomeWarrior]

Some triangle braces going down the back of cabinet might be enough to get the rigidity you want. Very fun seeing your shop. Love the lights. I wired my shop to have two light switches that control even and odd rows of lights. Works out great if I just don’t need them. I want to add a under cabinet workbench light like you have done.

[@eastcarolinawoodworks]

Funny thing I added a triangle brace and it helped some but didn’t get rid of all the flex! And yes I love the lights makes a huge difference 👍🏻

[@mikejackson2888]

Nice set up, one day that will be a setup I can have. Right now my router table is attached to the end of my table saw. I keep dreaming

[@eastcarolinawoodworks]

It really makes a huge difference having all the storage! I almost added a router table to my Tablesaw wing to conserve space!

[@dublinf4477]

I way over thought this. Have a similar table and the plywood on the sides was nowhere near square to the bottom. Had to use spacers etc. then the bolts for the frame got in the way. You made it look pretty easy. Mine is been a bit of a challenge.

[@dandugan824]

Nice!!!

[@allent555]

Great build / video! Really like your concept too! Suggest making a shelf with a solid 45 degree support angle for the power feeder. This would eliminate the flex and you still wouldn’t have to drill the table top.

[@carterscustomrods]

22:04 raise your blade higher. That way when it cuts the chips move downward rather than outward. This is why plastic cutting blades have high tooth counts and positive hooks (20° or so). But a rip blade will do just fine, nut you will want to move it slowly. Another option is to sandwich the plexiglass between two pieces of this scrap. I do this with aluminum and plastic when I want a pristine cut.

[@louisclarkeii]

RIGHT ON HOMIE! Go big with the next CNC…. ShopBot is right around the corner…. Not sure what the table Is made of but make a new top to add the power feeder.

[@eastcarolinawoodworks]

Well I would love a larger CNC but inventables reached out to me and sent this for me to try out. Big things coming so stay tuned! I will be getting a bigger one 👀

[@AugustaWaterCooler]

Excellent video you just gained a subscriber, since it’s Woodpeckers specific probably no point in offering to lans, but do you sell the 1/4 / 1/2 bit holders you showed I’d buy them, great idea.

[@Sebastopolmark]

Nuttin wrong with that. Nice to have the roller base to work off of! !! !!!

[@PaulCiura]

Sweet setup. I want to get one of these power feeders at some point. Built my router table from scratch with the Incra fence. One of my favorite tools in the shop for sure.

[@eastcarolinawoodworks]

Thanks for the feedback! The mini power feeder is awesome 👍🏻

[@matthewwolan1247]

could you just straddle a piece of wood at back of table behind the fence and use the T Tracks to mount feeder?

[@Benmeglei1]

Hey brother. Great video. Quick question for you, what kind of router is that? Is that the spindle rite that’s in the woodpeckers package? Thank you for your time. Cheers👊🏻

[@johnlewis4830]

Just out of curiosity, where do you get your cabinet grade 3/4" hardwood plywood. Is there any difference in what can be bought at a big box store as opposed to a specialty shop?

[@eastcarolinawoodworks]

I get mine from a supplier in town. Sometimes you can get decent plywood from big box stores but it’s hit or miss 👍🏼

[@spectrumwoodworksllc5359]

Hey brother 2 questions, CNC? How do you like those drawer slides? The reviews make me wonder, but KV (which I've used for years, have gotten out of line price wise. Thank you sir!!!

[@12982blackjack]

Saw the Fein dust extractor in the background and I thought you were a green brand guy? LOL But seriously, I've been trying to decide between the Festool or cheaping out with the Fein. I like the hose, hose storage, and sustainer stacking ability of the Festool. Any opinion on which one?

[@eastcarolinawoodworks]

Definitely go festool! Inventables sent me their X Carve Pro CNC machine and it came with the Fein extractor so I use it for the CNC. It does a good job but I like my Festool 🤙🏼

[@forster46]

Where did you get the file for the brackets to hold the Y fitting?

[@eastcarolinawoodworks]

I designed and 3d print them! If your interested in them I could send you the file? 👍🏻

[@mrstephentgarrett]

Its an amazing build... my one critique, and maybe it's my OCD, is the vertical handles... i just feel they look out of place. Amazing video though

[@eastcarolinawoodworks]

Haha to each is own! I struggled with how I wanted them but in the end I felt that was best 👍🏻

[@phillippearce9680]

👍

[@matthewwolan1247]

🤣......."tight the way I like it".....

[@TarheelTad64]

What is that hold down called you got on your tablesaw

[@eastcarolinawoodworks]

It’s called Jessem stock guides! They are fantastic 👍🏻 I’ll add it to the list of tools in the description!

[@TarheelTad64]

Thanks that thing is awesome I never seen anyone use that before I've seen the finger hold downs @@eastcarolinawoodworks

[@trebeyar96]

Great video as usual. I'm curious if you'll need some additional vent holes in the router box to help dust collection. I'm getting ready to start my router table build. 👍

[@eastcarolinawoodworks]

Thanks for the great feedback and yes I plan on doing that I just didn’t think to do it for the video! Great idea and I’m right there with you 👍🏻

[@spectrumwoodworksllc5359]

OOPS, I did see the CNC Brand, lol must have turned around for a minute.

[@calhounklare9228]

🙈 *Promosm*

[@bigrich6750]

$1500 to $1800 for a Woodpeckers Router Table? No thanks! It’s interesting, woodworkers would laugh at a woman spending $1000 on a purse, but ridiculously expensive tools have become the luxury purses of woodworking, and there are always men willing to throw down the money.

[@diegohperez6434]

Storage and dust collection don’t even laugh you have lot things to do well im not very impressed whit quality I bet was expensive any way honestly this week I router table is like everything on wood workshops as you big espace so fares I concern I will make my self apart from the aluminium plate for router I has to be very accurate thanks 🙏
