Thank you to everyone who helped me reach my first 1k subscribers!! I’m having a blast making these videos and really appreciate all the kind comments, questions, and support. Thanks again!
Nice looking router table~! I like the way it fits under your table saw's extension. Something I'll keep in mind if I end up replacing my current router table setup.
Looks awesome! I've been drawing out a router table that I plan to bid and have been going back and forth on what to do for the top, and I'm definitely going to do what you did here. Sidenote, if you accidently stick the pieces together in the wrong spot, acetone will dissolve the contact cement and let you retry. You will just have to reapply it
Great build and great video. I enjoyed watching and learned from it too. Just the right amount of verbal information. New subscriber! Thanks for posting!
Nice video! Thanks. You do really great work. 👍 I make all my tables the same way you do - except I use dowels instead of loose tenons. It's easy for me to use a simple dowel jig with inexpensive dowels. Never had any issues with the strength of joints. Even for outside use with redwood and western red cedar. One of these days I'm going challenge myself using Castle Joints instead of dowels to attach legs to apron.
I’ve successfully removed laminate with a heat gun. Certainly best to get the laminate positioned correctly in the first place. Looks like a nice router table.
Congratulations on having 1,190 subscribers.🎉 (You blew past the 1K mark!) Your videos are very well done as are your designs and work process. I like the idea of an independent router table under the table saw wing rather than in the wing. Keep up the fantastic work. I’d subscribe again, if I hadn’t already been in the first 1K.
Oneida air make a router hood that could be mounted on your Bosch router and collect the shavings when doing mortises, it also has a chip collector that clips on the bottom of the router base to collect the shavings when doing edge profiles like your chamfering bit. I bought one years ago for a trim router but doesn't work on them, it was made for the bigger routers like yours
Nice job. Some very smart design choices and rock solid build quality. I like the idea of being able to store it under your table saw wing. For your mortising jig, consider eliminating the necessity of a bushing by instead attaching hardwood surrounds on the front and back of your jig. They would basically capture your router base so it can only move left and right. It greatly improves dust collection since you won't have the bushing restricting air flow around the bit. It's how my own mortising jig works and dust collection if great on it. What enamel paint did you use and how long did it take to dry?
Thanks for the jig tip. I’ll have to look into that when this one starts getting worn from use. Great idea. The paint is just rust oleum enamel. I just mix some gloss black and white until I like the shade. Takes about a 24 hours till it can be gently handled. Probably not fully cured for a week. Thanks for watching. Hope you have a great day!
@@squareandlevel You as well. You could probably add the hardwood strips to your current jig if space allows. Definitely worth looking into. It saves a lot of time vs having to vacuum out every mortise. Thanks for the info on the paint. I suspected it was rustoleum. Good stuff.
You are 100% correct. Sorry about that. Just fixed. Thank you for pointing that out. Added part two to pop up at the end of video. I hope you have a great day!
I like the look you have with the black tops. Choice of any paint makes this an awesome build for any shop to get the look you prefer. I'm a new subscriber so maybe I missed it but can you do a review/tutorial on your table saw? Been looking at a Jet or Sawstop but I find the fence on your Harvey very intriguing. Your shop is looking good! Can't wait for a shop tour video. Nice work sir! Oh, do you have a video for your dado jig? I'm interested!
Thanks for watching! I’m torn on doing any reviews. I did film the the entire unboxing and set up of the saw but one of the main reasons I started making these videos is I was feeling a lot of the channels I used to like have turned into tool hawkers. With their top ten tool lists and tool of the week I “need” to have. I just want to watch people build cool stuff. I think people should use the highest quality tool they can AFFORD to accomplish the task at hand. If that means harbor freight or Festool, it is irrelevant. As long as they are having fun building something. I’m still considering doing a “2-3 month” initial impressions video of they table saw. We will see. Really don’t want to come off like I’m a brand “x” tool pusher. I hope to do a shop tour once the shop is complete. Probably 3/4 the way there. Can you explain what you mean by dado jig? I’m not 100% sure about what you are asking about there. Again, thanks for watching, hope you have a awesome day!!
@squareandlevel I get ya! I just want to know more about that fence. It looks like it can do a lot of things with the slots it has. Wanted to get your take on it. Not a plug for the brand but more of what it can do
Thanks for watching! Unfortunately no, I do not. Definitely in the works for future builds tho. Have to get all the business side of it squared away first. Don’t want the tax man coming after me. 😆. Hope to have them very soon. Thanks again. Hope you have a great day!
Hey buddy... just came across your video and must say that looks fantastic. Almost like a professional made it LOL - Just joking!! looks great, I'v now subscribed so look forward to next videos.
building a router table this winter out of 1 inch polycarb. thats a good idea to store under the table saw,getting a harvey saw this winter as well ,is yours a 36 or 52?
Thanks for watching. 52” 3 hp. Really happy with it so far. Had a small issue with fence and the customer service was great. New parts were provided within 4 business days. About all you can ask for. Thanks again! Hope you have a great day !
Very nice! It looks like you set your router, dead center of the table. After having used it, do you regret its placement not being closer to the front edge, and or operator edge?
I am very happy with the placement. I put it the middle specifically to give the most support in all directions for doing template routing. With my old set up ,(left extension wing on table saw) I struggled supporting larger pieces and just didn’t feel safe. Time will tell if I change my mind on the placement, but so far with the limited time I’ve used it I feel I made the correct choice. Thanks for watching! Hope you have a great night!
@willwatlington6750 one additional note. My router table is pretty low(33”) so it would fit under the table saw wing. That might be helping not feel awkward with the router being in the middle. 🤷🏼♂️
It was nice to see a woodworker who is new to it or have been doing it for many yrs, but i didn't see you brraking out the festool equipment. Not that they dont have nice equipment nir do I own anyof theres because they are so expensive, but too many times i watch videos and they claim to be new to woodworking and yet you see Festool all over the place. Its just very deceiving IMO. Also great job on the router table. I am still trying to design ine for myself but i have a Dewlt 621 plunge router and I can't find any compatible lifts for it. If anyone knows of any i would appreciate the help.
Sorry I have no advice for your router. I would love to have a shop full of Festool tools but I just cannot justify the expense for the type of projects that I personally do. Thanks for watching. Hope you have a great day!

I’m very new to all this and still trying to figure out how make my videos not suck. Feel I have a long way to go.

Nice router table, how far did you place the miter track from the router plate ?

Do have some plans for this some where
Unfortunately I do not have any plans available at this time. Sorry
It was nice to see a woodworker who is new to it or have been doing it for many yrs, but i didn't see you brraking out the festool equipment.
