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.
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. 🙏
Nice work! I would recommend a face shield, not so much to protect from flying debris, but great for cutting down on dust inhalation. I've never had good success w/ dust masks.
Well, hell... I have watched countless videos from other TH-cam channels (all dude's), and I just happened to find this video that not only has a decent instructional video but detailed FREE plans, truly free, not particularly free, or a purchase required to access them... Free! Ty, also, I subbed. ❤
I have a very similar table, but I'm rebuilding one with a T-track groove (or two) in it. Thanks for the great video. Easy to follow with a great product. And you definitely put the "fine" into woodworking! Have a merry Christmas. Oh, and I really like the idea of letting my boards as well. It really saved me a headache when recently building a box with several dividers with dowel joinery. Had I not labeled the dividers, the dowel and hole matching would have been a bad game of Tetris.
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!
I built mine the other day, but I jacked up the top board, so am going to remake the top board. Other than that, all is well. It's a very handy setup that I keep under my workshop table for quick access.
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 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?
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
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.
This is the perfect plan for my Ryobi trim router. Thank you!
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
Haha that’s so true, nice video thanks!

Cleanest workshop I've ever seen....
That because most women are a lot cleaner than men and more organized. Bottom line
@@EdwardLorreto You've not met many women it seems lol.
Well, "That Was Easy"! Thanx a million, Larissa!!
Might be my favorite set so far man, this is gold.
cleanest workshop I ever saw.
Larissa is the best, more instruction from her!
My only criticism, says this is for beginners, proceeds to use jargon and a pillar drill.
I just finished my table. Awesome video thank you 😊😊
I made it!! It’s awesome!! Thank you!
Nice little router table. We shared this video on our homemade tools forum this week 😎
This is one of the best videos I've seen in TH-cam.
Thank you for taking time out
Great video of a well designed, useful table, thank you!
Nice work! I would recommend a face shield, not so much to protect from flying debris, but great for cutting down on dust inhalation. I've never had good success w/ dust masks.
00:35 - The organized board of tools on the wall is so soothing to watch!

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
Thank you! I wanted ideas to make a simple top to attach to a miter stand, and this might well work! 👍
Thanks. This so economical and not too difficult to build.
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.

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.
Great job! Very detailed! ❤
I am thrilled I dicovered this channel!
🎉 Thanks for this video and tutorial it was easy to understand and follow! I appreciate your hardwork! 😊
Good job Larissa.

Great job.
This got to be one of the detailed build video I ever watched
Magic, you inspired me a lot, will start the table tomorrow, thank you
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.
Very helpful, thank you 🙂
Great steps
Very cool build. Thank you.
Very good thanks.
nice and simple
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.
Thank you very much, you are amazing
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.
Thanks so much. This was a great video and very informational.
- 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.
Bravo! I really like this! Thanks
Simple & professional, thanks
Thank you for making the plans free! It’s irritating that so many people put them behind paywalls
Good job! 👍👍
thank you for this ma'am
Very nice, thank you
😮 I am highly impressed ❤ you go girl 💪😍
Thanks.
Hiya, I've been looking for something for my small wood trimmer & this is perfect. Thank you so much for sharing your awesome work 🥰
Oh I like that a lot! So many of these things are just...so much more elaborate than they need to be.
Love this video! Thank you!
What brand of table saw is that?
excellent job
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
Great work, that was awesome.
well done👍👍
Nicely done 👏

Nice Video. With the top being so thick, are the router bits long enough to work with trim router ??
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?

Thoughts?
thats awsome.. great tutorial! very easy to follow and great explanation!
WOW very nice build, Well done ;-)
What's the total cost of all the materials and hardware to build this table? Thanks for the video!
👍very simple
Well done..
Fab channel glad I found you … liked and subscribed
How do you get the plans ?
Iiiincredible!!!
I love it!!!
Does Larissa have more videos?
What type of plywood did you use?
👍👍 very cool !
nice!
What are the measurements for this project?
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
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.
At my level: I can do it, a big Thank You ! ! !
منتهى الروعة .. شكراً لك.. ،👍👍👍🙏🙏🙏
Does the wood need to be completely flat or some what flat?
Hey this is fabulous I want to do this. Thank you for sharing x
That's COOL
How would you adjust the fence if it is not square?
What are the melamine rings for?
Thank you Madame.🎉
I got to find a diy video for a drill press now! Gezz, I'll never get this table built.
Plans?
Psssst Larissa.........EARPLUGS!!!..... Btw nice video and I definitely need to make one
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.
Traduire en Francais.Mercie 😊
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.

👍👍👍👍parfait
Have any plans.
In the article linked above.
has anyone found that their screws from the plate aren’t long enough to go through to melamine even when recessed?
pretty woodworker
Use t25 screws

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
cool
