    Router Table

    I got that great deal on the Freud Router so I just had to build a table to put it in. I picked up the Kreg video plans from my local Woodworker club library and built the table in a couple of days. I did make one change, instead of putting it on casters I built a solid base since it will not be moved.

                          I got them from my woodworkers club library, we have a large collection and can check them out for a month. But you can get them many places such as watching on e-bay or on Amazon http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/ima...546171-6600900 This was my first project using the Kreg Poclet Hole System and I really enjoyed it.

                            John,

                            Nice design. I have never seen bit storage like this. Good original ideas.
