This is probably the best video I have seen about building a simple router table that a slightly less competent than average enthusiast can build. I love the way you marked out the measurements using masking tape, and the “Gotcha” warnings were also very helpful. Thanks for putting this out there!

I really enjoy the look of this table! I'm going to keep my eye open for a black surfaced plywood, looks great (not sure if it's sold here in the US).
For those watching this that are starter woodworkers or are unsure if you want to put in the track, a very simple solution for the fence is to move those triangular rear supports in a few inches, then simply use clamps on the edges to hold the fence in place. You don't need to worry about it being square to the table as long as it's square to the router bit!

Uncle Knackers, you are not joking about with your entry for the challenge...looks like a winner!

[captainmort]

What a great little project. Wish I had seen this before I spent $$$ on a proprietary table.
Still want to make it though so thank's for the plans. 👍

[riazsheik]

Beautifully designed. With measurements. Even a child could understand. Brilliant.

[OverkilledUnderdog]

By FAR the best router table build on YT. Well done sir, you explained all the parts thatvwas needed. Thank you.

[andynicoll]

That's a great portable router table, but the one I bought, not portable, is even better and came with a 1 1/2 hrs router. It only took me ten minutes to buy it and it likely cost less than all the materials for that table. Which does not detract from the utility of this great portable table.

Maaate, that looks spiffy alright. Love it, great entry Shane

This is by far the best looking (IMHO) DIY router table I have seen on You Tube. When I first saw the thumbnail photo of it, I thought you were doing a review of a router table that you had bought commercially. That is meant to be a compliment. I was lucky enough to buy a Ryobi router and table from a guy who just wanted it to do the trim on his kitchen cabinet doors. I only paid 40 bucks for both the table and router! It works beautifully.
I may build yours at a later date when I need a table with more surface area.
One last thing, if you have any of that black ply left over, I think it would be really cool to build a small T-square to match your table. Great work, thanks!

That’s one nice router table, and love the dad jokes two in one vid 🤣😂 love it.

[davidharnett]

Hey knackers glad I’m not the only one who keeps taking’s the top off my fingers - usually doing something stupid! But when it heals I find I have numbed the nerve which makes playing my guitar less painful. Great router table for space poor people like me. Cheers Dave

[manuelnunes]

I was thinking of making a router table this summer, and I think I'm going to make this one :), Keep the videos coming! Loving your channel.

[robinthornton]

Absolutely brilliant. I’m going to have a go at building this and will buy your plans. Thanks. I love your style of delivery and humour. Top bloke imo.

[davidstuart]

Thank you so much uncle Knackers. Just bought my first router yesterday and was wondering about a table for it. I think I just found the one I need :)
Your channel is becoming my go to for all things power tools and woodworking.

[abiwholefoodsimmunovetuk]

Got mine finished today having bought your plans.

You’ve been a great help along the way with extra tips and knowledge I didn’t have. Top Man 🙏🙏

[erinobrien]

Bloody brilliant video! Mom joke: Which knight used the roundtable the most? Sir Lunchalot!
Sláinte!!

[kunoknollenbuddler]

This RT will be my game changer. Thanks for showing. 👍👍👍

[OccamsRazoreva]

Lovely Build!! - Just wondering how you get wooden edges to stick to the film face of form ply? -- are you using a special type glue or does normal PVA work? :-)

[dh]

I just bought these plans, I am excited to make this project as I am new to using routers and I have a samll trim router that i think will work swimmingly with this table. I look forward to building it.

I really love your channel and do a LOT of DYI projects, having the router, which I bought specifically to build my hobby desk. I have only used the one 1/8th inch slot bit to install T-Slot Edge Moulding with, it has not been used much. I cannot wait to have this built up to be able to work on many different projects, such as more tool DIY hacks... and some diorama and epoxy art beses. Will update with how it goes. Thanks again, Cheers!

I was considering making a outfeed table with a router lift in it, but this seems like the better bet. Awesome job and that black looks so sleek. Is that the same as black melamine?
