Hope you all enjoy this router table cabinet build. Remember, plans are available on my website and are 50% off the first week after publishing the video. www.theaveragecraftsman.com/product/router-table-cabinet-plans/

[@thebobloblawshow8832]

Sand the whole 4x8 sheet. Depending on what your doing put a coat of clears on it too. I do that strictly for shop cabinets. What do you think? Really enjoyed this channel.

[@michaell7877]

I’m new to your channel. Glad to see someone that admits errors LOL. Great vid.

[@TheAverageCraftsman]

Thanks and welcome

[@wpherigo1]

Nothing average about that! Excellent!

Then you've come to the right place!

[@marks5436]

One of the best and most comprehensive video's I've seen. Your video details in the description/tools list/parts and materials list is also impeccable. A lot of work went into the video description and it shows (including hyperlinks) Wow! Thank you, im ordering materials already :)

[@TheAverageCraftsman]

Thanks, Mark! Good luck on your build.

[@longhuang5613]

wow this is the perfect for the dust

[@TheAverageCraftsman]

The dust collection works REALLY well. Thanks for watching!

[@RevivedBuilds]

Great video and advice. I need to build one myself.

[@TheAverageCraftsman]

Thanks!

[@simeltzer]

Love the videos bud. Keep em coming

[@TheAverageCraftsman]

[@TheAverageCraftsman]

Thanks, Dave! Glad you enjoyed it.

[@aussiefreediver]

LOVE IT

[@TheAverageCraftsman]

Thanks!

[@dscraft6358]

Thats a really fine cabinet you built there! Thanks for sharing. I hade plans to built one myself, but i ended up buying a complete table instead. But I think I will make some drawers to it. Really inspiring to see your built Thats a red button hit of course :)

[@TheAverageCraftsman]

Thank you! I appreciate you watching. If you've already got a table with a stand, check out Brad Rodriguez's build. It's great: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nWTRqpiZiJ13n6M

[@kirksadventures]

Welcome back man!

[@TheAverageCraftsman]

Thanks, Kirk! Feels good to get a new video out. I flipped a house last year which seriously cut into my shop time but I am back at it now and hope to release videos more regularly.

[@dusbus2384]

if you got that plywood from home depot your HD is far superior to mine. First, i'm lucky to even find 3/4" plywood in my store. Second, when I do find it its full of voids and warped or beat up or both.

[@bryanwartelle7243]

Good video. Well filmed, simple, and informative. I can see you doing very well in the future as a content maker.

[@TheAverageCraftsman]

Thanks, Bryan! I appreciate that.

[@MikeBramm]

Nice work.

[@TheAverageCraftsman]

Thanks, Mike!

[@michaelschmitz8028]

Great video. Subbed from a fellow Kansas Citian.

[@TheAverageCraftsman]

Thanks, Michael!

[@matthewwilt1455]

Nice! Kansas City, huh? Lee’s Summit here!

[@TheAverageCraftsman]

Hey, Matt! Prairie village here!

[@barryroberts6470]

A Brilliant Build and Video, well done. The only thing i would change is the handle on the one and only door you have, i presume it's where the router goes. Why didn't you have the handle fitted the same way as the others? i know it's a door but surely you could have fitted the handle to match the others?, anyway apart from that handle, it is still a Brilliant Build. Barry (ENG)

[@TheAverageCraftsman]

Thanks, Barry. I gave the door handle about 5 seconds of thought before attaching it. If this was a piece of furniture in my house I maybe would have done it differently. Thanks for watching!

[@coolinken]

Great video! That cabinet is more than adequate! 😄 Can you tell me about that folding trailer in the background? Who makes it and where did you get it from? Thanks.

[@TheAverageCraftsman]

Northern Tool. Here's a link www.northerntool.com/products/ultra-tow-4ft-x-8ft-folding-aluminum-utility-trailer-kit-1170-lb-load-capacity-49803. There are also steel versions that are a bit cheaper at Northern Tool and Harbor Freight. Thanks for watching!

[@coolinken]

Thanks!!

[@lelandgalt9328]

If this was average craftmanship there would be alot nicer new homes around....

[@TheAverageCraftsman]

Thanks, Leland!

[@kevinhansen4626]

Finishing my cabinet up, have a few questions. First where did you end up putting the paddle switch and also I also have a Rockler tabletop I’m planning on using. The back stretchers look like they will interfere a little with the holes that allow fence to be mounted. Guessing the best answer to this is to leave stretchers alone and attach T bolts for fence by backing drawers out? Thanks - Kevin H.

[@TheAverageCraftsman]

Hey Kevin, thanks for watching and commenting. I put the paddle switch on the right side of the cabinet but I really think it could go wherever it’s convenient for you. For the top question, aren’t there slots in the bottom of the cabinet that the t bolts ride in? You might send me pics of your issue via email. You can find that on my about page. Thanks!

[@joeymerrell8585]

The bottom is never too short! Rabbits it is! Lol

[@TheAverageCraftsman]

Ha, good suggestion, Joey! Thanks for watching!

[@crate2383]

Good video! What brand of dust hose do you have on your palm sander? I have been searching for a good one for a while.

[@TheAverageCraftsman]

Tucker, I use this hose: www.amazon.com/Bosch-16-4-Foot-Vacuum-VAC005/dp/B0000AV78B/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=bosch+shop+vac+hose&qid=1578327035&sr=8-1 It's a really good hose. It fits a dust deputy perfectly. I have no issues using it with my DeWalt sander and track saw, Kreg jig, Bosch Glide miter saw, spindle sander and it also fits Festool perfectly if you have some of those.

[@jonathankaiser1141]

Just got these plans. What sizes did you cut the sheets to make them more manageable?

[@TheAverageCraftsman]

Hey Jonathan, thanks for buying the plans! I just cut them up to whatever I felt comfortable maneuvering on my table saw. Usually something less than 4x4. Good luck on your build!

[@tigwelding6884]

Okay

[@TheAverageCraftsman]

Okay

[@oliverdelica2289]

Wait what about the top?

[@TheAverageCraftsman]

The top is from Rockler.

[@oliverdelica2289]

The Average Craftsman thanks! I was wondering about it because I'm fond of router tables

[@MAGAMAN]

Pocket Holes! So your joints are extra weak!

[@TheAverageCraftsman]

Yeah, they are so weak the piece is still solid as a rock four years later.

[@TheKiltedKraut]

I like your videos...but why would anyone want to buy plans for project (with a materials cut list) that is full of mistakes that you just showcased?! Yikes! 😳

[@TheAverageCraftsman]

Maybe because the mistakes had nothing to do with the plans.

[@davidbondi]

He wasn't showcasing mistakes, he was being human, and showing that even when mistakes are made, you can adjust and finish with an excellent final product.

[@davidbondi]

and.... subbed!

[@YRFKDM8]

are you actually drywall screws to assemble the case ? dont do it

[@TheAverageCraftsman]

I believe I used drywall screws to attach the top to the case which is perfectly fine. Pocket screws were used for the case joinery.
