I had this idea for people who like the router table idea (as advertised in this video) but don't use the router in table configuration not as much. I made a table saw from scratch and when installing the table top I had a piece left over which I saved. The saved piece is perfect to tit a router insert into/onto. I routed out a square pocket, made an insert which I can mount the router onto and found these metal headboard mounting cleats in my random parts bin. The cleats are wedges which fit into each other quite snugly and securely so I used them to make the off cut table top piece with the router accouterments so it can be hung off the side of the (in my case) very sturdy table saw base. If I need a router table setup I can use the off cut piece and I can use the table saw fence (with an added piece) as the router table fence. The router table extension stores quite conveniently underneath the table saw work surface and the router can still be used as a hand router (though it being quite the router beast)
It's super interesting. I must have seen the video he posted at some point. You're right, it's exactly the same. But I didn't base it on it. Unconscious convergence, maybe. I've since subscribed to the channel. Thanks for sharing and bringing to my attention!

That's very cool! Thanks for sharing!
Cool! Looks like you added some of VanIsle Studio's leveling function for the table saw. And the joinery as well. Cool!

Nice build. Reminds me of VanIsle Studio's table saw shelf design.
Thank you so much! I'll have to look them up.
