My Workcenter

A multi-tasking router table, you might say. I like it a lot.

Hey Tom, welcome to LJs :) That’s a nice working unit! lots of working space, and of course recycling that door into something useful is a plus.

Very clever! So versatile.

I haven’t done a router table yet and really like what you have done. Any sharing of plans would be appreciated.

very nice work. How did you go abouts making the fence?

Neat idea.

Tom , this is a great use of space and i am speaking from experience ! I put something like this together about 4 or 5 years ago to maximize my small shop layout. And like You I use it as my router table with lots of storage space, but it also doubles as my TS outfeed table. As I am sure you have discovered , it is a great addition to Your shop, I use mine just about every time I am down in the shop. I am in the process of upgrading My router fence and took notice of your design, it looks very impressive from what I can see along with the rest of the tables construction, very solid project. Thanks for the peek and be safe !

Nice job. I am wanting to build a router table soon.

-- Had we known Grankids were this much fun we would have had them first.

Like it, nice job

Dave,

Thanks for your response. This is my most used items in my shop. The wheels I had put on, were a bit undersized. Planning to replace soon. Besides that it has worked great. I hope to compile my drawing plans and give away.So if interested, I would be willing to share with you.

Tom,
Great project. Outstanding use of space for those of us with smaller shops.
I have been puzzling over a similar design, but can’t quite figure out the supporting structure.
Have you posted your plans anywhere?
Having used this table/bench for awhile, would you make any changes?
Thanks,
Jon
