I really appreciated that you went into little details, like not pulling hard on the drill press. A lot of videos just assume we are experienced and leave us to learn the hard way. Thanks for sharing your learnings. 🙏
Makes you feel nostalgia / nostalgic, it doesn't bring back your nostalgia. 'Pet peeve of mine is the over and misuse of the word nostalgia in the last couple of years; I'm guessing someone made a tiktok and mentioned it.
@@dannybowden5296 I've noticed nostalgia being mentioned often for probably 5-8 years. It's a well known word and idea, huge before the (reasonable) scapegoat for anything negative "tiktok". I understand, but ultimately, who gives a shit. Best to ignore. Culture and tech move fast. It's hard to accept that the year 2000 was 24 years ago, especially for those who had peak experiences in the 70s/80s. Surely people were nostalgic for 1980 in 2000, and one could argue the world changed more between 2000 and 2024 than 80 and 00.
Great little build and easy to scale. I’ve been looking for a simple no frills bench top router table design and this will do it nicely. I’m going to build this with two small changes…wood glue where applicable and T-track in place of dovetailed slots. Thanks for posting this!
Amazing job with this walkthrough tutorial. My initial plan was to build a table higher at waist level, but this is more portable and a better option for me overall. Looks I have the perfect old coffee table to repurpose into a 1-day router table!
Well done and very helpful. I like the detail on the vacuum hole on the fence. Questions: 1. Why didn't you use any glue on your strechers? 2. What keeps the dovetail slots from eventually wearing out because the melamine is fragile and will chip out within a short period of average use.. Thanks for answering.
Looks like a pretty simple design. The only thing id change is routing in a couple of recesses to take a pair of steel rulers. That way you know your Router table fence is always square.
Do you have other videos similar to this one? I'd like to make a small table saw for my cordless circular. Or how to make a track saw guide or table? Thanks
I’ve got the ryobi 1 1/2 HP router, would there be much different to change to be able to use it? Not a trim router so adjusting it is a bit different. Thanks
I have seen many builds of router tables for trim routers and they all seem to state that the make of the trim router is not that important and all the builds are somewhat the same, some with more bells and whistles and some without… But I have to ask and presumably because of ignorance due to not owning a trim router, but how do you adjust the height of the router bit from under the table and is it possible to do it accurately enough? I have several cheap plunge routers and they are all really bad at keeping their plunge depth, with or without the springs in them, so I think I should go look for a trim router instead… Thoughts?
Nice build, but I recommend a pre-built router insert, which is much thinner than the table top; router bits wont be able to fully present through think top, you will lose the ability to use certain profiles.
I appreciate you taking the time to demonstrate how to build a router table , I am not like you with the high end tool collection, drill press and a lot of space , I am a poor builder with a handicap, I won’t have the money to buy a drill press and all those fancy attachments. When I am in pain I try to make things in my make shift shop and I am very limited on my tool collection. I have a hammer and a drill maybe I can make a pyramid like they made in Egypt with my hammer and chisel. But I sure cannot make a router table . I’m thinking of the old Egyptians how they made great projects with a plum line and a peace of copper , that’s my style I don’t have twenty century electric tools , thank you kindly .
... all you need is one board from your local wood store.... *blank stare* Ahh, yes and of course all the industrial grade equipment I saw come by during the ten minutes watching this short video.... Not wanting to be an arse, I really did enjoy the video and there are certainly things people will learn from it, but I'm guessing most people (like me) just have a hacksaw and a hand drill instead of the professional table saw and drill column that you're using. With respect, again. You absolutely look like you know what you're doing, so every compliment for this video, but I did feel I should mention this small bit of criticism. Carry on ! 🙂
You are definitely overblowing the professionalness of the equipment she used. The table saw is nothing special, you can get a basic one for something like 300 $/€/£, or you can use hand circular saw, band saw etc. Heck, nothing stopping you from using your hacksaw, if you're patient enough. The drill press is just a convenience, you can do the same with a regular 30€ drill from Lidl. And no matter where you live, buying a basic sheet of plywood is absolutely nothing special. And besides, if hacksaw is all you have, why are you mucking around with a router? You have more basic tools to buy before you get to that.
When using a drill press, there is a serious hazard in using just your hands to hold the work piece material. When a drill bit binds or seizes in the work material, the material is swung around so fast that it often takes your hand with it before you can react or let go. A fellow that I worked with lost a finger when this happened to him. Pinched between the work piece and drill press column. Please clamp your material to the drill press table. Or at least swing your material around in the same direction that the drill bit turns, so that your material contacts the drill press column before turning on the power. And hold down firmly if not clamped as your work piece will climb up on the drill bit, also causing it to bind. Anything too short to contact the drill press column before starting needs to be clamped, and that includes drill press vises.
What a joy to see more women in DIY and in teaching roles too! Very nice. This is just what I wanted to see. Not a big table as I don't have space, but a smaller one. Great! Please do not add music to any DIY or demo video. It hurts the ears and very hard to focus.
Great video. Boy did I complicate my build. One comment; I wonder if anyone else counted the times you tapped the router top when introducing the video, lol....Drove me nuts(not really) cheers...rr Normandy, Fra.
Well interesting video. Why do you not use clamps and really on your arm strength instead? Also you appear to have forgotten a little ‘v’ channel at the bottom of your fence for wood dust to go……this seems to be the thing to do in the 20’s!! Thanks Bob England
I was thinking when you first fitted the fence and how you might have to check that it’s square in the horizontal plane and then realised … DOH! It doesn’t matter does it because the fence will always be 90 degrees to the router bit…. What a silly man I am .,, hahah 😂

Dont know how you nailed the 1990s cable tv color tone but it really brings back my nostalgia! Thanks for posting!
Hahaha they nailed it

@@JulianA-tr6pt I bet you say squash instead of quash.
Cleanest workshop I've ever seen....
That because most women are a lot cleaner than men and more organized. Bottom line
Nice little router table. We shared this video on our homemade tools forum this week 😎
Might be my favorite set so far man, this is gold.
This got to be one of the detailed build video I ever watched
I just finished my table. Awesome video thank you 😊😊
Great video of a well designed, useful table, thank you!
This is one of the best videos I've seen in TH-cam.
Thank you for taking time out
Larissa is the best, more instruction from her!
My only criticism, says this is for beginners, proceeds to use jargon and a pillar drill.
Well, "That Was Easy"! Thanx a million, Larissa!!
I made it!! It’s awesome!! Thank you!
Once again I am very impressed 👍 you are very talented wood worker hats off to you young lady 💪💗
🎉 Thanks for this video and tutorial it was easy to understand and follow! I appreciate your hardwork! 😊
Very helpful, thank you 🙂
I am thrilled I dicovered this channel!
Thanks. This so economical and not too difficult to build.

And restrict the airflow around the vacuum port.
and dont cut all the way through the fence.. it looks like the two sides arent perfectly aligned@@carlbruschnigjr1757
I am going to make one of these, very good video, all the steps are very clear. I like the insert making method. I might add a switch.
Simple is good.
Magic, you inspired me a lot, will start the table tomorrow, thank you
Amazing job with this walkthrough tutorial. My initial plan was to build a table higher at waist level, but this is more portable and a better option for me overall.
Looks I have the perfect old coffee table to repurpose into a 1-day router table!
Very cool build. Thank you.
Thanks so much. This was a great video and very informational.
Good job Larissa.
Simple & professional, thanks
Bravo! I really like this! Thanks
00:35 - The organized board of tools on the wall is so soothing to watch!
Very well done! The only thing left out is a foot switch so you don't have to control the power to the router and shop vac manually.
Great job.
- Thanx 4 sharing how to make this efficient, practical router table. I've thought about making one so will begin mine in the next few days.
Very good thanks.
Fab channel glad I found you … liked and subscribed
Great work, that was awesome.
Oh I like that a lot! So many of these things are just...so much more elaborate than they need to be.
Good job! 👍👍
😮 I am highly impressed ❤ you go girl 💪😍
Very nice, thank you
Hiya, I've been looking for something for my small wood trimmer & this is perfect. Thank you so much for sharing your awesome work 🥰
Great steps
Thank you very much, you are amazing
well done👍👍
Thank you for doing this video on you router table. I have been looking to build a small router table and you have given me some really great ideas.
WOW very nice build, Well done ;-)
Nicely done 👏
thats awsome.. great tutorial! very easy to follow and great explanation!
nice and simple
excellent job

👍👍 very cool !
Thank you for making the plans free! It’s irritating that so many people put them behind paywalls
Thanks.
nice!
Iiiincredible!!!
I love it!!!
Hey this is fabulous I want to do this. Thank you for sharing x
The hands of an Artist
Love this video! Thank you!
What brand of table saw is that?
I got to find a diy video for a drill press now! Gezz, I'll never get this table built.
That's COOL
Looks like a pretty simple design. The only thing id change is routing in a couple of recesses to take a pair of steel rulers. That way you know your Router table fence is always square.
منتهى الروعة .. شكراً لك.. ،👍👍👍🙏🙏🙏
Love the detail you put into this tutorial. Also, you are cute as a button!
At my level: I can do it, a big Thank You ! ! !
Nice Video. With the top being so thick, are the router bits long enough to work with trim router ??
Psssst Larissa.........EARPLUGS!!!..... Btw nice video and I definitely need to make one
Parabéns pelo trabalho muito bom abraços Deus te abençoe grandemente. Silvio ( laranjal paulista São Paulo Brasil)

You can use that no different then what she is using....just have to match your holes to the particuliar router plate on your ryobi.

Does Larissa have more videos?
Nice build, but I recommend a pre-built router insert, which is much thinner than the table top; router bits wont be able to fully present through think top, you will lose the ability to use certain profiles.
True, but that can also be countered using router bit extensions which are much more commonly available and fairly inexpensive nowadays.

Thank you Madame.🎉
Only advice would be to turn the drill press off when lining bit up to center, then raise the chuck, turn it on THEN drill.
... all you need is one board from your local wood store....

Does the wood need to be completely flat or some what flat?
What's the total cost of all the materials and hardware to build this table? Thanks for the video!
How would you adjust the fence if it is not square?
What are the measurements for this project?
cool
NICE 👍, I have and ol small pc tablet stand that I am going to add a plate insert on to, a bit more basic than this one though
Traduire en Francais.Mercie 😊
Plans?

That fly cutter spinning at that speed set my teeth on edge.
Use t25 screws
All you have left to do is cover the exposed edges with iron on melamine edge banding! 😀
What a joy to see more women in DIY and in teaching roles too! Very nice.
This is just what I wanted to see. Not a big table as I don't have space, but a smaller one. Great!
Please do not add music to any DIY or demo video. It hurts the ears and very hard to focus.
Have any plans.
In the article linked above.
Great video. Boy did I complicate my build. One comment; I wonder if anyone else counted the times you tapped the router top when introducing the video, lol....Drove me nuts(not really) cheers...rr Normandy, Fra.
I want a router table to help me build stuff but I don't have any of the tools used in diy router table videos lol
Well interesting video. Why do you not use clamps and really on your arm strength instead? Also you appear to have forgotten a little ‘v’ channel at the bottom of your fence for wood dust to go……this seems to be the thing to do in the 20’s!!

👏show de bola!
Need a drill press and. Clamp
Why don't some off you give the meserments to make it easier for beginners thanks 😮
Because there are plans linked below.
I was thinking when you first fitted the fence and how you might have to check that it’s square in the horizontal plane and then realised … DOH! It doesn’t matter does it because the fence will always be 90 degrees to the router bit…. What a silly man I am .,, hahah 😂
You mentioned plans for this build? I don't see them?
