    My interpretation of Norm's router table

    I finally finished my router table (except for the DC). As you'll notice, I made a few changes to Norm's design. Thanks for looking.

    Wow that's a very beautiful table. How can you even think about using that in a shop? Can I ask how much it cost to make that table?

    James,

    That's a fantastic router table - very, very well done indeed. (Gonna put my plywood router mounted on saw horses to shame that's for sure!)

    Well, the first words out of my mouth are against the TOS, so I'll have to settle for Whoa Mama!

    That's a beautiful piece of furniture you have your router attached to. Great looking, and very functional I'm sure. Great job...Norm would be proud.

    - Vaughn

    Nice job James! I love the contrasting woods. Are you going to make other workshop pieces to match?

    James,

    Router Table? Naw thats a dinner table, WOW!!!!!!

    Beautiful selection of contrasting woods for this piece of "shop" furniture. I can only echo the statements of others as to where that piece should reside. Are you planning on matching all your shop cabinets, etc to this. If so you will have one BEAUTIFUL shop. Nice choice on the hardware also. I doubt Norm will have any negative remarks to your interpretation of his "mock up."

    Nice detailing. The padauk is great. Bet you had a little orange dust about as you built 12 drawerheads. I like the straight chamfer on the door.

    How did you do the one sided drawers in terms of structure?

    Hey! That looks like a basic Bill Hylton design. You don't think it was stolen, do you? But you did a great job of it, from wherever it came.
