Making a table for the router

Table_router2

This is the second wood job for  2015.  The first was to add another 10′ shelf in the shed. The shelf was placed above the first one installed back some years ago. Now this table is designed to mount a router setup.  The existing setup was not level or sturdy enough, plus it was too high for routing a long pieces of wood.  The design for this was low cost so the legs were cut from a single 2″x4″x8′ costing all of $2.50  the side pieces out of a piece of pine, and then the top is 3/4″ oak ply wood with shoe molding around the side.  The stain was applied just to seal the wood.  Casters were added so it will be easily move around the garage.  Finally a power strip was mounted to the side so that the router could be plugged into it + a sander. The outlet basically eliminates unplugging the router when the sander needs to be used.
