You did a beautiful job. You know what they say about mechanics… Well quickest way to tell what type of a woodworker someone is, is to check out their router table set up. Lol.
I'm a sucker for using walnut in my shop furniture...I call it 'Pin striping the Pinto'. It just makes me giggle. Nothing elaborate, but pulls/knobs/trim can all be done from off-cuts, and it really makes shop furniture pop.
Yes to the raised panel tutorial and excellent commentary at the ending, who's giving cookies to mice anyway - now if a moose asks you for a muffin, that's a different story all together.
Ok, I got the router table and all the goodies yesterday. I'm 99% finished with putting it all together as of 15 minutes ago. Tomorrow will be the first cut on it. Then I'll be building the cabinets like you have there, with a few changes of course.
I am always looking for creative storage solutions in my tiny shop. Never thought about adding some sort of cabinet to the side of my router table. For me it will be a place for infrequently used things, but it will be using otherwise wasted space. Thank you.
WOW!! What a great look and improvement. I especially like the use of T-track for the feather boards. With you and Drew always using some"unnecessary walnut" in your builds, I've been adding " unnecessary Purple Heart" to my projects. I like your attitude about shop projects and using them as a way to expand your skills. I feel the same way and my new assembly table will have some complicated Japanese Joinery in its structure. I try to learn a new joint each month and right now it's Japanese joinery and It usually takes much longer than a month to learn each of their joineries. They are like really difficult wood puzzles, lol.
The walnut was a beautiful touch - loved it. What better place to learn than your own builds for the shop. ***Can you tell if there is any heating issues with the two sides being closed?***
I am building a Barndominium and making ALL of my doors (Front, Interior, and Kitchen Cabinets) with raised panels. So, YES I would love to see more raised panel videos. BTW, the Barndominium build video is on the way! Subscribe so you don't miss it!
You did a great job with your first frame & panel door. The only thing I typically do differently is prefinish the panel, so when it expands and contracts, it is less likely to show a gap strip of unfinished wood. It also helps you pop off any excess glue squeeze out that gets on the panel during glue up.
Dang, you really maximized the space on that cart. The idea to use a piece of t-track to store t-track related items is genius, and I'm embarrassed I've never thought of that before. Mine just clutter a drawer. Great video.
For making the cabinets and drawers, I would use the Rockler 45 Degree Lock Mitre Router Bit. One set up and you're good to go. I have one that I bought from Lee Valley Tools here in Canada and it's a wonderful thing. perfect corners every time.
Mark this came out awesome. Just heard about it on the podcast and has to come and check it out. Glad I did for sure! Now I need to get one of those router tables!
That turned out so awesome man! The screws in the handle slots to hold it temporary is such a simple but awesome tip! Great build and video - for some reason I now want a cookie?!
Congrats on yet another Rockler Router table storage video. ua-cam.com/video/8joE_tZloe0/v-deo.html . My 2 router tables in the shop do not roll around. I built a large wall cabinet to house all 9 handheld routers, bits and accessory's. As you get older bending over to get things tends to wear you out. I have used this same set-up for over 30 years. Roll around units have their advantages if you are limited on space but I have never liked the fact that even with the brakes on the wheels, they don't feel solid. Dust collection hook-up becomes another issue. And yes always have spare walnut in the shop to give that shop project a bit of class!
Loved you ideas to modify the plans. What is the gold colored tool you used to smooth the bit holes (at the 1:43 mark in the video)? I don't see it on the tools list. Where can I get one? Thanks
I know this comment has nothing to do with your video, but I am listening to your podcast and just heard you guys discussing youtube comments. "I am very confused about your anger. Do you need a hug?" I am laughing so hard I can't breathe here. That should make it onto a T-shirt. #unnecessarywalnut Cheers.
Hi Mark, the storage solution came out looking great. You can never have enough storage or clamps! Can you share the specs of your dewalt nailer and do you rate it? Thanks
It’s easy to build something following plans if you are going to make changes to them, basically if you cut something wrong (oh look I have made one of my changes) instead of admitting that you have made a mistake.
That's something I found on Amazon. Here's a link - www.amazon.com/dp/B01GPVIHE8/?ref=idea_lv_dp_ov_d&tag=aiponsite-20&linkCode=ic6&ascsubtag=amzn1.ideas.1PPZI18I79I9A
I agree with you, carcass references something being dead - so I normally avoid using it. I think this is the first time in the history of my channel where I let it slip. However, it is correct according to the dictionary. _-the structural framework of a building, ship, or piece of furniture._
Nice looking build! I just posted a similar router build as well! I like the brackets for holding the fence on the back I’ll have to add that. Btw how do you like that Earlex sprayer?
If you are the kind of person that likes to get what you pay for, then read on. Very disappointed in recent purchases of their "Rock-Steady" components. Wanted to duplicate a workstation with sliding drawers so I ordered all the needed components from MN. Here's the problem... the pre-drilled holes in the drawer brackets and the horizontal slots in the cabinet member of the drawer slide, do not align. This makes drawer slide installation impossible without breaking out a drill and drilling new holes to accommodate the cabinet member of the slide. Also, the hardware that comes with the Centerline drawer slides are wood screws only and not machine bolts and nuts. Now you have to purchase or provide additional hardware. Nice. If you are building a configuration for drawers, you will need vertical center supports to accommodate brackets. However, you will find that installing drawer brackets on these center supports is a challenge, again due to slight misalignment of pre-drilled holes. You will need a drift, an awl or possibly a clamp to assist in the assembly. The overall experience has been very negative, and Rockler folks seemed indifferent to the issues. If having drawers is your goal, then this is not a "plug and play" solution nor a simple bolt together solution. How can a company sell expensive components to customers knowing the products do not perform as advertised? Rockler employees and management were disinterested in addressing the issue or helping to facilitate a solution. Tried to contact upper management since this problem is so serious and obvious, but I am still waiting for their response. (By serious I mean selling items to the public when you know the items do not perform as advertised. There is a word for that.) Should my situation change, I will gladly update this comment or post a new comment here. Meantime, as a service to other customers, I will post this experience at other locations. Rockler's "we just don't give a s**t" attitude to customer experience makes future purchasing decisions easier.
Wow that turned out fantastic! I really like your additions to the Rockler solution and the raised panels turned out looking great!
Thanks Drew!
It's like you guys know each other and like boosting each other's egos or something. Careful, you guy's being friends might come off as "wholesome".
Thanks for all your hard work to present this project in a very clear manner. Yes to the raised panel tutorial.
You're very welcome! I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Yes to "Raised Panel Door" tutorial. Great video by the way. Gave me a lot of ideas.
What a wonderful video. And YES to the video for shaker doors.
Brilliant, even though it wasn't entirely your own design it's a excellent use of limited space.
No sense in reinventing the wheel, they got that part right. I just changed the tread pattern 😉
You did a beautiful job. You know what they say about mechanics… Well quickest way to tell what type of a woodworker someone is, is to check out their router table set up. Lol.
A raised panel door would be awesome. Glad to see you on this side of 2021!
10/4. We are surviving it so far.
Great looking addition to that Rockler router table. Thanks for sharing.
Wow. What a great storage router storage 👍
I'm a sucker for using walnut in my shop furniture...I call it 'Pin striping the Pinto'. It just makes me giggle. Nothing elaborate, but pulls/knobs/trim can all be done from off-cuts, and it really makes shop furniture pop.
I call it #unnecessarywalnut. It definitely makes a utilitarian place like a shop feel a little more cozy.
Yes to the raised panel tutorial and excellent commentary at the ending, who's giving cookies to mice anyway - now if a moose asks you for a muffin, that's a different story all together.
No kidding! Have you seen how big those guys are? You give them whatever they ask for and just back away slowly.
Those router bit setup blocks looked cool!
They are handy! Another good solution from Rockler.
Your sage advice on cookies is spot on! And the router cabinet mods are fantastic! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks Tom, glad you liked it!
Yes to the raised panel tutorial!
Coming soon!
I used diamond plate for outer doors, looks way cool, I like your doors for my kitchen not my tools, nice work
Loved this! Looks brilliant and really satisfying! You definitely made the most of every inch of space you needed!
Thanks Lan! It definitely fits the bill!
That looks so awesome! Thanks for sharing ur way. Well done Marc!
My pleasure!
That's an amazing upgrade. Now I need to get that router table! I have 2 shop-made ones that aren't as precise as I'd like.
Thanks for the video!
Ok, I got the router table and all the goodies yesterday. I'm 99% finished with putting it all together as of 15 minutes ago. Tomorrow will be the first cut on it. Then I'll be building the cabinets like you have there, with a few changes of course.
Yes, please! I’d say you improved on the plans quite a bit! Great video and project, Mark!
Well thank you very much sir.
Love that door
It really turned out great!
Cool build! You made that look like the Bugatti of router cabinets.
That's a great table set up you made there
I think so too!
Looks great and very organized, nice job
Thank you!
Wow a 2 for .. Unnecessary Walnut plus and raised panels greate looking job!
Awesome! I just rewatched this and I'm stealing some of your hacks for my router table. Like you, I really need to maximize my shop storage space.
amazing how your router table turned out. Yes I would like to see a full video on How to make a Raised panel door.
Thanks Will! Sounds like the people have spoken.
I am always looking for creative storage solutions in my tiny shop. Never thought about adding some sort of cabinet to the side of my router table. For me it will be a place for infrequently used things, but it will be using otherwise wasted space. Thank you.

Thanks Dustin!

I appreciate that
You do good work.
Why thank you.
Fantastic work, dude! It looks amazing now! 😃
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Thanks! Will do!

It also helps you pop off any excess glue squeeze out that gets on the panel during glue up.
That's an excellent tip. If I'm ever doing a bunch I'll probably go that route. For a single door I'm glad I didn't have to clean the sprayer twice.
Dang, you really maximized the space on that cart. The idea to use a piece of t-track to store t-track related items is genius, and I'm embarrassed I've never thought of that before. Mine just clutter a drawer. Great video.
Thanks Thad! The t-track trick is actually part of the Rockler plans!
Awsome build. Pure awesomeness 💥👊🏻
Wonderful additions!
Thank you kindly
Great job looks awesome. A raised panel door video would be nice.
Thanks Darren!
Looks great!
+1 on the tutorial for a raised panel door!
Thanks Alex!

Aw shucks, you're too kind!
WoW... fabulous
Many many thanks
Great work!
Thanks!
You should make panels for the router enclosure out of walnut that attach with magnets
Yes I would enjoy a video on the dood
Mark this came out awesome. Just heard about it on the podcast and has to come and check it out. Glad I did for sure! Now I need to get one of those router tables!
Well thanks for following along with all of it! I really like this table for what I do!
So nice brother. I really need to make this for my router table.
You should! I wish I hadn't wait so long!
That turned out so awesome man! The screws in the handle slots to hold it temporary is such a simple but awesome tip! Great build and video - for some reason I now want a cookie?!
Thanks Ethan! I've got a few Oreos if that's a good enough cookie for you.
@@GunflintDesigns My favorite!
Yes, please make a raised panel door tutorial.
Yes please do a raised door panel video. Lets see a detailed look.
Beautiful work...subscribed!
OMG That's awesome brother
very nice idea
raise panel door tutorial for sure!
Not bad bro I like it.Thanks for sharing

Came out great! I’d love to see a raised panel tutorial. Up vote here 😄
Thanks William!
Great project. Yes olease, Gunflint panel door video please. I can see you put one in the walnut eating Fisher's face :-P
lol
Loved you ideas to modify the plans. What is the gold colored tool you used to smooth the bit holes (at the 1:43 mark in the video)? I don't see it on the tools list. Where can I get one? Thanks
love it, only way to go.
I'd like to see a video on how you use the Pro Max router fence
Would be great to see how you made those doors.....and did you buy those plastic set up blocks?
Yep, those blocks came from Rockler - they have them for lots of the bits they sell.
Very nice.
I know this comment has nothing to do with your video, but I am listening to your podcast and just heard you guys discussing youtube comments. "I am very confused about your anger. Do you need a hug?" I am laughing so hard I can't breathe here. That should make it onto a T-shirt. #unnecessarywalnut Cheers.
Lol, I'm glad you enjoyed it!
I totally want a video showing how to do those panels! What was that spacer you used for the router bit height?
Rockler has those setup blocks for a lot of their router bits. just buy the block when you buy a bit and it makes setting up the cuts super easy.
Fantastic use of space, nice work! IDK... if that mouse is going to sweep and mop my floors, he can have the cookie. ;)
I'm thinking the physics behind him holding a broom just don't line up.
@@GunflintDesigns haha, true! Maybe its a small broom that goes all night like a Roomba :)
I would like to see the construction of a raised panel door. I am more curious than actually needing if for any project I would ever attempt.
Thanks for letting me know!
This is great.
Thank you.
I'd be interested in the detailed door video
Awesome, thanks for letting me know.
Hi Mark, the storage solution came out looking great. You can never have enough storage or clamps! Can you share the specs of your dewalt nailer and do you rate it? Thanks

What brand is that chamfer bit you use in your drill?
That's something I found on Amazon. Here's a link - www.amazon.com/dp/B01GPVIHE8/?ref=idea_lv_dp_ov_d&tag=aiponsite-20&linkCode=ic6&ascsubtag=amzn1.ideas.1PPZI18I79I9A

If you build a man a fire, he's warm for a night.
If you set that man on fire, he'll be warm for the rest of his life.
I had no idea that Socrates watched my silly videos. I am honored sir!
Hey if I had all those rockler tools donated to me... just kidding, nice video Mark, lips and tongues.
Lips and tongues to you too Gary!
Only thing I don't like about it... Not enough unnecessary walnut.. Nice job.
You might be right about that... at the very least I should have used walnut edge banding!
Why do they call it a cabinet carcass? I always thought that sounded gross.
I agree with you, carcass references something being dead - so I normally avoid using it. I think this is the first time in the history of my channel where I let it slip. However, it is correct according to the dictionary.
_-the structural framework of a building, ship, or piece of furniture._
That’ll be great on your desert island while you’re building coconuts!
Lol, absolutely! Good reference.
Nice!
raised panel tutorial please!
Nice looking build! I just posted a similar router build as well! I like the brackets for holding the fence on the back I’ll have to add that. Btw how do you like that Earlex sprayer?
I bet you could get 100 pounds in that little drawer, if you really tried. ;) “oh that, that’s just wear I keep all of my solid tungsten” 😂😂
Solid tungsten really comes in handy at the touter table!
Gross little home invaders indeed. I’ve always wondered about that book. The Patreon offer stands if you paint it...

Leave it to me and find something totally non project related in the video... But, what happened to your miter saw fence that you built??
I regret buying Rockler router table top.
Why for?
Really? What don't you like about it?
That's a sh@# load to much for my brain. I wouldn't be able to figure it out even if i tryed
