    Don't suppose you have the plans for this? :)

    • @Ollaris
      @Ollaris  6 лет назад +79

      Honestly? No. The top is 60cm x 40cm, the fence is 10cm x 60cm and 6cm wide. The bottom part is just long enough to go on the braces. And the pieces glue the top are just bigger than the router base so that you can clamp on them. Feel free to make yours smaller or bigger.

    Vielen Dank, das ist tatsächlich mal ein Tisch, der ohne Schnick-Schnack auskommt. Schön, das Du begriffen hast, wie unnötig ein Parallelanschlag ist, den man bei einem Routertable tatsächlich nicht braucht, ein "normaler" Anschlag reicht völlig. Die Idee mit dem Wagenheber ist genial und ohne großen Aufwand umzusetzen. Statt eines eigenen Unterbaus für den Tisch, nimmst Du einfach eine Werkbank, super! Die Einzelteile sind in einer kleinen Werkstatt gut zu verstauen und nehmen nicht so viel Platz weg.

    I don't have a lot of spare room in my shop so I've been wracking my head/scouring the internet to come up with an idea for a quick and easy table. Tried a few other methods that didn't work out so well. Your idea, as others have said, is pure genius. Especially the clamping blocks underneath for the workbench!

    Great video! I had an idea for the Workmate table for a DIY router table and searched. Here I am. There is nothing new under the sun! I plan to make mine from 1/2 inch (12 mm) plywood and with strips of nominal 2x2 (50mm x 50mm) reinforcement around the mounting point instead of hogging out a relief. It's what I have on hand. The car jack is a great idea.

That being the case, I should be a bloody genius by now. But I'm gonna have a red hot crack at it. Thanks for the video mate. Much appreciated.

    Yet another use for a “workmate” type bench. Great thing here: you don’t really “use up” anything permanently except the wood itself and a few screws/nails- the router, the bench, and even the jack are easy to remove, with under one minutes effort. Great design.
