Router table build, part 3
The carcase of my new router table had taken shape, so it was time to start working on the innards. Storage Drawers My routers and major accessories — bases, baseplates, edge guide, jigs — don’t have a good home right now. The DeWalt sits in its canvas bag with its two bases and wrench; the laminate trimmer sits in its box on a shelf in the table saw stand; the Porter-Cable bases and dead 690 motor (no, I haven’t tossed it yet) sit on a different shelf along with a few special bits, like my rabbeting set; the...

The Carcase The next step in building my new router table was to make the panels that form the cabinet carcase. These panels are cut from 3/4-inch MDF and trimmed in white aspen. The wood trim gives me a more durable edge than bare MDF and looks better. Before applying any edging, though, the MDF needed to be cut to size using the circular saw and table saw. As much as I dislike working with MDF, I have to admit it cuts well. Each piece just slid through the table saw with almost no effort and absolutely no drama. MDF doesn’t...

While I was out of town the critical parts of my new router table arrived. It was time to start the build. Top I started with the router table top because that’s the fussiest part of the whole project. First I cut two pieces of 3/4-inch birch plywood 22-1/2 x 34-1/2 and laminated them together using only glue and clamp pressure. I didn’t want any metal fasteners in the table top because of all the milling that needs to be done to it. Once the plywood slab was dry I added 1-1/2″ wide strips of white aspen (an...

Since I first set up my garage workshop back in the late 1990s, my router table has been the left side extension of my table saw. It’s a very simple design, essentially a miniature version of Norm Abram’s famous New Yankee Workshop router table. Drawers on either side give me adequate storage for bits, wrenches, etc. and the router fence simply clamps to my Vega micro-adjusting table saw fence. It’s worked well for me up until now, but things change. The main thing that changed, of course, is my router. My trusty Porter...

The shop is evolving as I get more active with my woodworking again. Back in November I got rid of the tiny Tradesman drill press I’d had and replaced it with a Jet JDP-12. The Jet is a pleasure to use, but of course it’s a lot bigger than the machine it replaced — including the Woodpecker table I put on it, it took up half the width of my side work bench. And my bits, hole saws, and other drilling accessories were all over the place. I solved the problem by building this drill press stand. It was a very simple project...

Before I start blogging about what I do in the workshop, I should probably show it to you. So here it is. This is the two-car garage of my home in Maryland. It hasn’t actually housed a vehicle since November 1997, when I first moved in. After my first shop, which was about an 8×10 section of semi-finished basement adjacent to the laundry room, this feels luxuriously spacious, though I find that floor space is at a premium. Highlights of the shop (along the walls, left to right): On the left edge of the photo you can see most of...
