I bought this for my friend for his birthday as we just moved into a new house and he finally has room for a workshop. The bench was very easy to set up ruclips.net/user/postUgkxyFZUPFEey-PuqsPMxqaykBhgA1LWxFHh They center support is a little difficult to snap in and out of place at first but at least then we know the bench is secure. It was a pleasant surprise when we saw it came with clamps. I apparently missed that in the description. My friend loves the versatility of the bench. Great starter bench for his workshop and easily transportable all over our property. I wish the bench was a little taller but the other features of the bench more than make up for that.
Excellent build. Looks very sturdy. First thing that caught my eye is the B-52 speaker in the background. I DJ'd with a pair of dual 15's just like that one. Rocked many wedding dances with them until I upgraded. And that switch addition is awesome! I know a lot of people are using battery operated routers now days, but my corded Bosch Colt would would work fabulous with a switch like that and makes on/off so much easier. I'm going to make a table and probably steel ideas from a few different builds including yours. Great job!
I am in the process of making one very similar to yours. Your tutorial and design was a huge inspiration for my build. Instead of plywood, I took 2x4s and cut them to length, rip them in half, jointed them using a table saw big i made, glued and clamped them together, and then planed them using my router-sled jig I made. Thank you for the video. It's a very awesome build!!
My wife says I have a router table addiction (I only have 3!). I use them all when I'm building furniture so that I can set them for different cuts without needing to change the settings if I were to use only 1 table. I really like how small and portable this one is so I just may build another table! Thanks for the idea on this great table!
This is one of the most incredible projects I've seen on any RUclips channel regarding woodworking. You obviously know a great deal and I look forward to following your videos. Killer job!
that looks awesome. I'm getting more into wood working and need to make some tools. Its great that you put links to everything you used in the description
The Handyman , my favorite youtubber responds, awesome. im building this, minus the aluminum T tracks. im changing a few things but a great design. also adding a second swapable plate to mount my jigsaw. wondered where you got the idea for you sweet rig man.
One of the best instructional video I have seen. Video angles and lighting were superb. Normal speed to cover the key bits and sped up over the repetitive bits. Kept my interest throughout. Bravo!
Your use of contrasting colors and epoxy to level the work surface really makes this DIY project look professional. Your bevel and mitre work for the legs is darn clever, I also liked switch arrangement and the plastic safety shield. I really appreciated your comments about the fence with its handles and vacuum fittings. Your video work is great. Thanks
I've never heard of a woodworker being called a stallion. Are you into horses? BTW I will be making this too, as like all the other comments, this video is just what folks need to get inspiration to build. This same setup purchased retail is $499, and not as sturdy. You want "sturdy" when using a tool like this. So much safer and the cuts are way way (did I say way?) more accurate. Thanks for having the talent and time and energy for making this video. Fish on!
I really appreciate the links and the link to the demotions. Looks like a great build and I am going to use most of what you have done for mint. Thanks
My God! Excellent work! 😊 The way you show us how to make, makes all the difference! Congratulations my friend! Here in Brazil, we learn a lot with your videos 👍!
As soon as I find all those parts somewhere in the Europe on some human, acceptable prices, I am on it ... For now, I have a router, plywood, table saw and plenty of will ... hahaha
Yep, well done. I appreciate how you've included dimensions and detailed explanations throughout the vid, and you got the details of wiring all correct.
I'd like to say I subscribed just because of the "Boom...shiny", but man, this was EXACTLY what I've been searching for to make my new router table. Thanks so much!
great video tutorial, not too serious, love the amp um clamp, I have seen a couple of builds so far, yours I like most, think I might just do it, cheers Mitch
Mitch, you are v talented guy....great job ....beaut table......I enjoyed everything about the vid. Loved the epoxy top, and the big 'clamp'...v funny😁. Thx for making vid...
Awesome job, man. Especially loved that large clamp.😂 Also love that trick with using the impact driver to install those T-nuts. Definitely gonna use that.👍🏾😊
Hey, man, nice build. So about those toilet bolts: were they - wait for it... wait for it - FLUSH MOUNTED? Bahaha... sometimes I crack myself up... Anyway, I like it. Some good info in it. One thing I'll remember is that if I laminate ply that size, I should do it on the table saw to keep everything flat.
Finally the best video I've found all day in how how make a router table. I love the plexi glass addition. That was a nice touch. Great job man! And thanks.
@@MitchellDeitrich Any self-respecting woodworker needs some loud music to overpower the sound of tools. :-) That is a super neat table you made there, definitely gave me some ideas to work with, as i need a router-table to get some jobs done.
This is super cool, but it's also convinced me just to spend $99 on a router table ;-) It's beautiful, and really cool, but it certainly won't save me any money. (I'm guessing you have way more than $100 of materials in that table, plus the hours/days it took to make it.)
Very neat wooden base. This router table design and construction is very much within my abilities along with so many others. Inserting the T-tracks allows for use of feather boards and jigs, allowing a more precise means for positioning. I think one of the best decisions is when you decided to install the Start/Stop switch out in a very easy to reach position. We all know how funky things can happen when using a router or table saw. Just knowing you have to near instant ability to kill the power gives many a comfortable feeling to be able to Bump off the power button when both hands maybe holding the wood against the fence. I currently have two router tables and cannot stand the table design at all on either one. Especially the on off switch location. This also is nice because it is quite portable. A very nicely done build.
Wow Lee! Thanks! yes the start stop was a piece of mind and I'm right handed and thought it should go on the left side. Most importantly I like how it sticks out just a bit. I would rather have it be politely in the way but when need it.... You cant miss it. Right! Thanks again Lee.
Looks great and I just decided to build it some time. The main reason to do it is that similar tables on the market are not as solid and seem very expensive. But then I realized that if I factor in my time and multiply by what I am paid in my profession, such table would possibly cost me three times as much as those "expensive ones" I was reluctant to buy. 😁
Hi, I'm from Argentina, I really like it as it is, very neat and well finished all the work until the last detail. Thanks for sharing, they are from the videos you learn from people like you. thumbs up
This vid was well worth watching. Thanks for valuing the viewer's time while planning your edits. Short and sweet takes way longer to produce than long and boring, and I appreciate your investment of time and effort.
I love your tutorial, it was easy to follow. Unlike other router table tutorials I've watched, at no point was I lost. I also like the simple but fancy look of the table. It's everything you need without getting too complicated.
Good DIY project video. Short and to the point on all the details. The leveling technique is amazing for a first time build on this. I like how you know what important on the finishing on the inside cut and you knew you had the leveling screws planned out so the routing of the lip did not have to be super accurate. I am glade I saw your video first as I am thinking about how to build mine.
Just bought my first second- hand router and an amateur at woodwork realy, but loved this it made me think I could do it easier (make the table) but buying the router is wanting the job to look professional so it would defeat the purpose of buying a router in the first place if it looked crap Great job

Awesome ! awesome ! I was practically glued from start till the end. I only wish I had one tenth of the skills displayed by Mitch. Inspired much !!!!

best tutorial ever, different set up than others for the table and well explained to detail, thank you very much!!
Thanks! I like to hear stuff like this!
seriously, one of the best tutorials. very inspiring.

yeah......really that was something.....thanx for sharing your very nice project
Congratulations very good work, very profesional, i admire you people from USA, due to wood carpentry
this is actually one of my favorite builds on youtube...
That reverse threaded insert install just blew my mind... dude you rock!
One of the best tutorials I've ever seen !!! Thx a lot for sharing it ...

yeah i know what you mean. I have been flipping the router over and using a ratchet strap to the table for too long!

A quality build for sure... nice job.
Great vid. A little humour and a whole lot of skill.
Thanks from Canada
WIth all this work might as well buy one. LOL. Very talented workmanship
Marvelous job Mitch.

+Cal Travels Awesome thanks!
I've watched about 6 'build your own router table' videos now and this one sure is a thing of beauty.
The only question I have is...Why did you get any thumbs down? Great job!
Norm Dryden hater!
What always enjoy is the pride of the finished look you strive for! Beautiful job.

Looks great. I bought one for 30$ like new. My time is valuable. But great idea. Props to you.
You stallion! Looks awesome. Going to be one of my weekend projects in a week or two.
Awesome glad to hear it! :)
Looks AWESOME Mitch ...........Simple in design yet effective !
well thanks!
Very nice build☝
A little piece of art - really nice
"Now I need a big clamp" *BOOOOM!!!*
"That oughta work "
Really appreciate the technique for the jig to route for the insert. Much easier than what I had in mind. Thanks.
"Boom...shiny" Freakin awesome!
A lot easy when you have all the machines in the world!!
Awesome job, man. Especially loved that large clamp.😂 Also love that trick with using the impact driver to install those T-nuts. Definitely gonna use that.👍🏾😊
Mitch presents a medium skill level project looks like easy level project. Great craftsmanship.
Great job Mitch! Entertaining episode.......maybe you should do a video teaching other RUclipsr's how to develope a personality. Very watchable😀
Brian Webb you either have personality or you don’t. It’s really not a learnable trait
U have some of the nicest 2x's I've seen in any store 😮😊
Brilliant, its inspired me to make my own
This d.i.y. router table was so over done, whitch makes me love it!!!!! Nice work!

Truthfully you could do this with a circular saw and drill.

People could do it completely by hand if they wanted to with just $50 worth of cheap tools.
Marvelous, great looking router table..
My workshop also has dj speakers like yours but i dont know why people see it wierdly
Awesome!! That way the music can be louder then the tools 😎

Mitch, this has to be the BEST I've seen on building a Router Bench. So many things I can adapt to the one I am building. Damn you're good bud.
I keep coming back to this. I think I may make one for myself. Thanks! Great job!
