    Metal router table legs/stand

    Due to time constraints, I am looking at those metal router table legs/stands. I am wondering if anyone has one, that they later enclosed (drawers, dust collection, etc)

    Any pics you can share?

    (SUPPOSED to have the day off. )

          You might get use out of a universal stand something like these, until you decide on an enclosure. All you'd have to do is add a top.

              Sorry, let me try to explain better. I am looking for pics of a metal one that has been enclosed (starting with scrap metal so I can use it).

                      No time to build a floor Norm style unit before I need to use. (first I have been able to use the shop before last Christmas)

                          You mean off the rack stands like these?

                              A square legged stand would be a lot easier to enclose. There would be less wasted space.

                              Workbench had an article about enclosing open metal shelving a while back. You might get some ideas from it. I might be able to dig that article up tonight if you want.

                                  Close, old bedframe welded up. Same basic thing.

                                  If you could just find the issue, I will check my local library, thanks.

                                      It's not as cool as I remembered. I found the plans online.
