Honestly this is one of the best video series out there. So many techniques and design process aspects are being touched in this! Thank you for putting it out there and educating us, and can't wait to incorporate the learnings of this to my future projects. Thank you!
Thank you very much for this very good serie of videos I learned a lot from you. I'm looking forward to seeing more of your teaching. All the best for you.
Out-friggin-standing! Learned a whole lot. I watched all the way to the last video just in case it ever got addressed but, 1) I highly recommend adding the dust collection quickly. Especially if you do start using it more. Not necessarily for the dust collection but for air flow over the router. Its gonna get so hot inside that very sealed box. And 2) Add some LEDs or small light inside the cabinet to backlight and show off your sisters glass! Easy to add into the switch so they come on while the router is running. It would look so cool! Just my two cents on a great amount of info you put out. And thank you for it. I know it takes a lot to put out content like that.
First of all... I really enjoyed your series on this router table (12 parts!!!). You brought to my attention a lot of details I'd not been paying attention to in my woodworking, particularly in choice of materials and grain direction. Second, I compliment you on your style - the fact that you're really enjoying yourself (especially when "experimenting" with new tools & techniques made the series a pleasure to watch. I'm in the process of building my own router table (upgrading from a 20 year old Craftsman table with an aluminum top and plastic fence). I won't be building the cabinet/stand - I work in a crowded 1-car garage; I plan on adding appropriately sized cleats under the top and clamping it to a work-mate style stand when in use. The router & lift should fit nicely between the two top surfaces of the work mate. I will also be using pre-laminated 3/4 baltic birch, edged with (mitered) red oak and reinforced below with additional plywood for the top. That way the entire top (with router & lift attached) can be hung on the wall or from the ceiling. Anyhow, thanks for the build series - I'll be using a lot of your methods in the next few weeks. Stay well and healthy.
You could have made a Kuchulvol (no, I don't know either), and it wood ;-) have made little difference. This is my slightly odd way of saying that I have learned far more in this series than anywhere else on a single product's build video! Your approach to learning, teaching, does really 'pull me in', but about the skills of the craft, your construction technique, plus a little bit of history thrown in to boot, which is great. You have some real joy in this, and I would be willing to bet that your wife is a "Shop Widow" (aka "Wood Widow". Your explanations and side chatter are rather unique, and your demeanor is energetic, open, and friendly. I want to end with the compliment that, from you, I achieve one of my life goals, which is to "Learn something new every day, and make something of it." Thanks for all your hard work, and for the lessons. Next...
Hello Shawn, thank you for sharing your knowledge. I have learned so much from all of your videos.UA-cam is full of woodworking videos. But there are only a few channels which share professional and detailed information. One of them is your channel.
I watched the complete series and enjoyed them all, I think it looks great and Im inspired to make one myself. Keep up the great work and I look forward to the next builds. Keep safe and your family safe
Great work Shawn what a great build and such a good ending your a great inspiration id love to have a great teacher like you to teach and guide me on how to make really cool things
Nice work. It's not just a router table. When people ask whether and how construction lumber can be used to make furniture, I'll point them to this series.
"they build these great shops..and then the furniture they build for their houses is basically shop furniture. Plywood boxes, pocket holes, and that kinda stuff". I think a lot of people may have just felt seen! LOL
Have watched this series end to end and thourghly enjoyed it. Are there no plans for this build? I recently bought a router that would compliment this table, but when I went to the store there were no plans to purchase.
Has anyone in uk ever downloaded the plan? I changed payment settings to uk , but insists on a zip code which we in uk obviously don't have, therefore it's not happening.
he does have some good ideas but he adds steps that aren't needed like making a jig to mark for cutting legs shorter. a one time use and ten minutes work
@@amiddled you don't get it do you yes it's a peace of wood cut to size, what you're not reading why make it in first place when your measureing guage is set for the cutting x amount off in the first plaCE
@@mweber6382 Maybe watch from 2:20, notice the table saw being used as a flat reference surface to get a level result on the legs. If you just referenced off the leg ends one by one with a calliper etc, you aren’t getting it even. If you’ve ever made a chair before, you’ll have used the same technique. If you think you can work more efficiently and with better results post your own videos.
Really enjoyed this series. You are such a great teacher. Can't wait to retire and build my shop. Thank you for all that you do.
I just want to say how happy I am to have stumbled upon your channel.

Excellent series Shawn. Loving the shop build too. Take care buddy
Nice work. It's not just a router table.

Great video buddy, enjoyed the education behind the build.
Excellent Job!!! Thank You Sir!!!! 👍😎
That's a hearty looking router table.
sound philosophy and advice. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks Shaun. Inspiring stuff.
thanks for sharing the video
Nice job .
such a good series :)
"they build these great shops..and then the furniture they build for their houses is basically shop furniture. Plywood boxes, pocket holes, and that kinda stuff". I think a lot of people may have just felt seen! LOL
I bought a dewalt router, I hope quite soon to be building this table.
How's the workshop going? Excited to see that. Bet you are ready for it to be done too.
thank you:)
Awesome video just a little disappointed that the Smutz didn't show up. lol
This makes me want to buy a router just so I can make the table...
I've already got my diy workbench set up...
Have watched this series end to end and thourghly enjoyed it. Are there no plans for this build? I recently bought a router that would compliment this table, but when I went to the store there were no plans to purchase.
They're there. Under the plans section in my store. wortheffort-woodworking-store.square.site/ Thanks
@@wortheffort found it, thankyou .
you sir, make excellent videos. Are you a trained educator in some capacity?
I have been trying to figure out what kind of dovetail saw he uses and can’t. If anyone knows, could you please let me kno?
Has anyone in uk ever downloaded the plan? I changed payment settings to uk , but insists on a zip code which we in uk obviously don't have, therefore it's not happening.
I missed Segment 11. Where can I find it?
Круть!
he does have some good ideas but he adds steps that aren't needed like making a jig to mark for cutting legs shorter. a one time use and ten minutes work
It was a piece of wood cut to size...🙄
