What I enjoyed about your video is that you call it a DIY video and you don't need a workshop full of expensive tools to make it. So far I watched half a dozen videos to make router tables and with the exception of yours they all have huge workshops and thousands of dollars worth of tools. If I had thousands of dollars worth of tools I probably wouldn't be watching DIY stuff! Thanks again
I've been debating building a table for 10 years and you just ended . That's exactly what I need ! Thanks for an average Joe video for an average Randy . So simple .
Hi Izzy Greetings from Northern Ireland. I just love your videos. I love that your videos are real, not fanboy bullish!t for Red tools or Yellow tools. It is great to see stuff that real world hobbyists can do and afford. Also that you can actually do the stuff for real and not just talk about it. Keep it going. Love it !
Recently I've watched loads of DIY router tables; this is the first I've seen with the swinging fence rather than a parallel fence. This looks so much easier to set up. I'll watch it again a few times as I feel I'm missing something compared with all the other parallel fences !!! It's certainly a novel idea. Cheers Izzy.
Keep your rounded corner theme going on all of the elements of the build and looks great! The tips and tricks are brilliant and I would make the hinge point of the fence a slot so you can change it on the fly.
Thank you so much! It’s been hard to find a truly simple router table build. And I love the pivoting fence. All kinds of cool stuff you can do. Can’t wait to make it
I remember the old PBS Router series where the old man had a simple router table like this with the the pivoting fence. That guy could do anything on that thing.
The timing of this post is perfect! I've been clamping my router to my workbench upside down and just using the regular faceplate. We were finally called out for it in our latest video. Looks like I'm making one of your router tables.
Ah that’s such a cool table - I’m gonna make a router table as one of my future projects, the hinging fence is great , I can imagine myself routing guide runners for all sort of crazy mechanisms! Thanks for sharing!
*Sir*,thank you for sharing your router table build with us, it's truly a no nonsense table. One I would truly like to try and make, with very limited tools available.
Great vid, I have a Bosch router and a small shop so this will work great for me. I can leave the fixed base permanently mounted in the table and use the plunge base for hand routing. Liked the blues harp as well. Thanks for thinking of us small shop guys.
I became a subscriber today 6/3/19. I have learned so much already. I am going to try some of your builds. The sawmill, table saw and router table. I am a beginner but you make it seem easy with your videos. Thank you. I will be safe and cautious.
Today I built a router table from this video. Have been searching on the internet for months to find this type of video. You couldn't have made it any simple. Great video. Keep producing more. You got one more subscriber today 👍🏻👍🏻
Thank you so much I made one of those today not quite like it but close enough that I have to give you credit. My boss showed up with his little router and said yeah I've got to router table but this one doesn't go to it and you know you can hand round over everything anyways. Only took me 20 minutes to make a decent version of it and it worked well and I'm taking it home with me
Very cool Izzy. My only hack would be to make the fence base out of 3/4 stock or two layers of 1/2” so you can hold the “faces” up 1/8” or so off the table surface as a sawdust relief. Been doing that on all my shopmade stuff - it eliminated the problem of sawdust buildup wrecking my cuts.
Great video!!! I've been looking for a router table but couldn't justify the cost. This is a great solution and I love the pivoting fence. So simple but effective.
I think I may be building that this weekend. Awesome design and I appreciate the consideration for smaller shops and portability. Great work as always Izzy.
you matthias have gotten me into wood working lot more. im def not some pro. lots and lots to learn. but been collecting tools over past year when i have lil extra $. got table saw. just a cheapo from menards. and a router. bandsaw. i have 2 bandsaws. jig i have had. but collecting more hand tools and chisels.
Just watched this video, and while watching it, thought I won’t try this build as the fence is only held one end! However once you demonstrated how it works, I was blown away by how clever it really is, especially cutting curves. You should patent the design. Thanks all the way from England. 👍👍👍
You are really good freehand with that circular saw. Nice job and great video. I would've liked to have seen more detail about that add-on wing to your table base. You lost me there, but I understood why the add-on table is advantageous. Thanks.
Hj Izzy inspiring stuff ,just setting up my garage has a work shop in my retirement love the jigs you use have given me lots of ideas to try many thanks from Alan in Liverpool

Finally a "doable" fence project, without complicating too much. Thanks a lot. Saved video!
Thanks Izzy. You proved that one doesn't need a fancy faceplate, fancier fence and most fancy tracks to make a router do what you want !!
Your freehanding skills are outrageous; and apparently ambidexterous.
You rock... Frickin machine dude...
The pivoting fence is BRILLIANT!!!
your router table is the best out there, they cant touch your simple and very useful router table...keep it up brother.
The rotating fence is a stroke of genius!

I like this guy. He cuts straight line without any guide. Very cool. 👍
That pivot fence trick was amazing!
The genius of izzy strikes again. Wow man you never disappoint. This is going to help so much in my small garage. Thanks again "da Vinci "
Thank you after watching so many of these videos, I finally found a good easy cheap way to make a router table. 4 thumbs up for best video!!!!
Gary C.
C’est exactement ce que je me disais, c’est la meilleure vidéo sur ce sujet. Bravo à ce monsieur....
Izzy - not completely necessary but it just makes me feel better! My man.
I’m building a fence like this. Never thought about being able to make grooves like that. Thanks. Always great content.
Down in FL helping my son with his move. This will be very helpful as we try and get some projects done. I miss my shop but this will help.a lot.
This is what Iove about your channel. Sometimes the most simple solutions are the best solutions. Thanks for sharing!

I'll watch it again a few times as I feel I'm missing something compared with all the other parallel fences !!! It's certainly a novel idea. Cheers Izzy.
Build this today with small modifications to clamp it into a old workmate. Simple to build and very helpful! Thanks for the idea.
Better than any routewr table I have seen so far. Defo one for my workshop. Thanks
Nice useful table
Impressive control of that circular saw. Kudos! Nice straight cuts.
Ok I was blown away by the pivot, for reals, great idea and seems simple to build
These videos are the reason I love this channel.
I love the way you make these brilliant things for 5c. First class. Thanks
The attachable is a great idea gonna use it for my router/jigsaw table, best diy router table I've seen so far.
Pivoting the fence displays genius in simlpicity. In one morning, I threw one together and made the fluted molding I needed for a job. Thank You!
Been doing the same with my drill press for years!!
I absolutely love your how to videos, you have some of the best jigs for creative wood working...don't ever stop!
Izzy , once again your smart, simple and effective, I love it!!
Just made mine ,so simple and easy to use , thanks Izzy👍👍👍👍🔨🔨🔨🔨
Great router table thanks!... Very versatile!... Even though it will never win a beauty contest 😜✌️👍
Keep your rounded corner theme going on all of the elements of the build and looks great! The tips and tricks are brilliant and I would make the hinge point of the fence a slot so you can change it on the fly.
Tony Taliaferro a slot+ a bearing, no wear.
You never disappoint. Every video I watch, I think "how did I not think if that?" Awesome project.
That was really cool. I had already made a table for my router, but if not, this would have been the way to go.
Thank you so much! It’s been hard to find a truly simple router table build. And I love the pivoting fence. All kinds of cool stuff you can do. Can’t wait to make it
Very good. That rotating fence is a fine idea.
I remember the old PBS Router series where the old man had a simple router table like this with the the pivoting fence. That guy could do anything on that thing.
This is a really creative design. All your videos keep me thinking about how to make really cool things. Thanks.
Made this table yesterday. Worked great for what I needed. Thanks Izzy.
Your creative ideas out of routine stuff is mind blowing. God bless.
Awesome table idea! Going to make this for my small shop. I think I will make mine attach to my table saw vs my work bench.
Mind. Blown. Awesome video and concept. Kudos!
I like the pivot idea!
I can envision a vacuum hose coming in from that direction.
Awesome table! Simple and effective! I love the swing fence!
Always making amazing things Izzy !!! awesome !!!

Awesome video! One of the absolute best builds I have seen in the past 5 years! Thanks!
Thumbs up! Simple, versatile and useful. I like it a lot. I am going to make one. Thanks.
Love the simplicity of the build. Very cool to watch this come together. Nice work man.

Good stuff amigo. Kills me how straight you cut with no fence or track. That's some skill.
Simple but very effective. I'm making this today 👍 And thanks.
Thanks Izzy for sharing your knowledge its always a pleasure to watch what you got going on.
Wooha! One handed cuts with no cut guide, that's amazing!
I finally made it! It works! Thank you for the simplicity!
Today I built a router table from this video. Have been searching on the internet for months to find this type of video. You couldn't have made it any simple. Great video. Keep producing more. You got one more subscriber today 👍🏻👍🏻
I just watched a ton of videos on making a router table and this is by far the best! Getting started right now haha. Thanks dude this is so helpful!!
Thank you so much for your video! Brilliant instructions, built one yesterday and it is working just great!
Thanks for the inspiration, just made one using the pivot idea and a few other bits from other videos. Love your stuff Izzy. Andy UK
You make everything seem so simple and possible! Thanks!
Dust collection box would be the next little trick I would use. A simple plywood box mounted on the fence. Cheers.
This is one of the best DIY router table that I've seen. Simple, easy to make and it is functional! Izzy gets bizzy!!
Thank you so much I made one of those today not quite like it but close enough that I have to give you credit.

Just what I needed to see! Nice, watching a skilled craftsman! Excellent video!
Very cool. I built something very similar about a year ago. Of course I didn’t think of the extension or the miter gauge. You are a genius!!
This dudes brain is on another level. Love the Izzy builds.
great to see how this is done, simple, something that will definitely be installed in my garage
Thank you for all your wonderful videos.
Izzy you always amaze me with your simple yet genius builds
Very cool Izzy. My only hack would be to make the fence base out of 3/4 stock or two layers of 1/2” so you can hold the “faces” up 1/8” or so off the table surface as a sawdust relief. Been doing that on all my shopmade stuff - it eliminated the problem of sawdust buildup wrecking my cuts.

Bloody hell this was brilliant! Never thought of having the fence on a pivot - might have to try this.
It's a real joy to watch you work. The command and mastery you show is very impressive. Thanks for the videos.
Nice job! I've seen a bunch of great solutions for this but I'm going with yours for my workspace. Very efficient and clever.
Just ran across this... awesomely simple... I can do this! Thanks!
I made your table saw plan on making this great router table tonight. Thanks for the great advice and down to earth style!
Izzy I loved your video and your router table. I am going to try and make one myself! Thank you!
It was amazing to watch you do so much free-hand drawing and cutting and just seemed to eyeball dimensions. Craziness. :-D
Going to make one this weekend for sure. Need it for finishing edges of my cutting boards. Thanks Izzy.
Awesome - quick & easy and extremely functional.
You are really creative, Izzy. Thanks.
Excellent and beautifully simple
this is going to be my weekend project
That is pretty darn cool! Love that router table. Simple, but effective. Perfect!
You're really good at making straight cuts with the circular saw
I loved the video. I dont have a lot of room in my shop and this will work very well for me, Thanks
you matthias have gotten me into wood working lot more. im def not some pro. lots and lots to learn. but been collecting tools over past year when i have lil extra $. got table saw. just a cheapo from menards. and a router. bandsaw. i have 2 bandsaws. jig i have had. but collecting more hand tools and chisels.
Izzy you keep showing me things that I didn't know I needed. Thanks man!
Now You have a spacious workshop. Waiting for new successful projects!
Awesome! Will be building this soon!! But, what I really need is that plan for the folding portable table for 2!! 😃
Brilliant idea the fence are spot one Izzy
Again - The mind of a master. Your innovations are amazing and btw " Love the music too "
Absolute Genius.....you certainly aren't afraid to think outside the box.....
I am definitely making one of these !!!! : ) : ) : )
Awesome idea Izzy, this will be great for me to try in my garage where work space is certainly at a premium. Thank you!

Awesome Izzy does it again. An inspiring project for the weekend. Thank you.
Hj Izzy inspiring stuff ,just setting up my garage has a work shop in my retirement love the jigs you use have given me lots of ideas to try many thanks from Alan in Liverpool
