How to Build a Router Table Build with Bit Storage

How to make a router table. In this DIY woodworking project, I make the router cabinet with a router table top and organization drawers for router bits, router table accessories and more!

I will be building this when I'm not working everyday. I love your faith based shirts.

Great video. It's nice to hear a pro talking about fear of getting started. Gives me a bit more confidence knowing it happens to everyone.

Hey Brother, not sure if you read these or not but I am a beginner woodworker who subscribes to several channels like yours but yours is my favorite hands down bc you first give God the glory and second you give detailed instructions. As a beginner that I'd everything. I appreciate all you do my brother. 👍🙌💪👏

This is one of the coolest DIY Router tables on YouTube. I've seen a bigger one, but it was for a different shop, the builder specifically wanted it to be 42" or 44" so as to do double duty as an extension of the Miter Saw table area.
That Amber makes it look like a desk from Jr. High Wood Shop.! That's why you subconsciously don't like it.😎

Built fully out of 3/4" material, even the drawers and faces. That thing is STOUT! Well done sir.

Bubba from Rick and Bubba says “ the 80s is the greatest decade mankinds everseen bc it gave us -Reagan, hairspray, and the best and worst music ever.” I will be building my table just like yours. Looking forward to getting the plans. :) God bless

Almost done with the router table. A lot of fun.

MAN OH MAN OH MAN I sure do wish Tay Tools would get that Framing Square Fence back in stock, I need 3 of them.

Ty Matt for answering my question, just watched the video on the reason for Easter. My God bless you and your family. Mark

Very good. I great example of why YouTube is such a good place to gain skills and knowledge.

I know you've gotten a gazillion comments on what to do to keep your pieces together for a moment while you walk away to get something, or reposition yourself for a better grip or better angle of attack. If you quickset a couple of screws, not tight even just the 1st thread or 2. But, thanks for illustrating how things don't or sometimes wont go right, especially if you're in a hurry, cause is your side hustle and you ain't do'n it full time yet. Love y'all's videos and the encouragement. So many of us need it, some people go without any.

I like the 4 drawers rather than one big one on the bottom. Great job and I just may finally build one for my shop.

[jamesb]

The casual "although I would live to regret this" really cracked me up. You made the right call. Love the way it looks after you sanded it down. Fantastic build.

Thanks for your honesty about fear preventing you from starting your project. As a complete woodworking novice, I can relate. With each project though I am getting more comfortable with the tools I inherited from my father in law after his passing. My router table isn’t nearly as complex or nice as your finished project but it works for my needs, and I love that satisfaction that comes from building it yourself. Without YouTube U, I wouldn’t know where to start. Much appreciation for taking the time to post your instructive videos.

With your minor error, you gave your work character. Not a mistake. Also we are allowed to make mistakes one at a time.
Great work I love the router table. 👍👍👍👍👍

[godmello]

Matt. Three words. Bessey Corner Clamps. Game changer for building boxes like this cabinet. God bless you. Another great video.

I installed a simple pulley system in my ceiling above my work table as a helping hand for setting projects on the floor without any aggravation or injury to my body/back. Works like a champ ... mechanical advantage.

[arthurybarra]

Dude!!! You are amazing. Love it!! Wish i could do it as smoothly as you!! Nicely done.

[ronswoodshack]

Lol!!! I hate when it comes tumbling down! Awesome build Matt. Thank you for the content!!

[dentonjordan]

When I grow up, I wanna be like Matt 🤜🏼🤛🏻
