New router table and cabinet. Fun build! http://grasshopperww.com/2018/router-table-build/ It has bit drawers an lots of nice organizable storage. #woodworking #woodshop #router #routertable #makermade #madeinpdx #grasshopperww
We’d been using a small bench top router table (Kreg) for a while. It worked great but had limited surface area on which to work. The solution: build a new one! We’re woodworkers — right?
That’s exactly what we did. The design is fairly conventional and based one one designed by Bill Hylton. Of course we had to adapt it to suit ourselves — and do some experiments with different drawer constructions along the way. I think it turned out well.
