I like your vibe. Thank you for not doing the faked smiles,, shocked pikachu faces, obnoxious thumbnails. It's so overdone, woodworking youtube is becoming insufferable and overly commercialized. You bring together the best qualities of some of the best woodworking youtubers out there, and in a distinctly Scandinavian way. Don't change. Lean into it! Can't wait to see how your channel grows, the most you stay true to yourself. Your channel is growing in the direction of furniture design skills of Four Eyes Furniture, the CNC/Laser/3D Printing skills of Frank Howarth, clean high res photography and minimal emotion of Pedulla Studio. Keep it up! Also, you have a bunch of nice stuff. Don't be afraid to show off the tools you like, it doesn't all have to be Festool. And everything doesn't always have to be new either, don't feel pressured to take sponsorships or free tools from Banggood/Aliexpress/Taobao. We're watching for YOU - your skill, your talent, your ideas. We don't care what brand of tool it is, or how much you paid (or didn't), and we def don't give a crap about sponsorships (most of us skip them w/ Sponsor Block browser extension, anyway). Cheers!

You should never have apologize for who you are! Part of the reason I subscribe to this channel is because you DON'T get overly emotional about what you are doing. I find it professional and very comforting. Keep on doing what you are doing man.

That phrase about not smiling or not feeling much at all really struck home. I've been growing more and more into my carpentry skills, and even when I put up my new home-made kitchen cabinets I just looked at it all and felt... nothing. My wife loved them, but there was some part of me that just wasn't happy with it. I don't know where this comes from, but a part of me craves the perfection I will never obtain.

AWESOME! The most beautiful router table I have EVER seen! I would happily display it in my living room - let alone my workshop! Beautiful aesthetics! Congratulations! All the best, Rob in Switzerland

Is there such a thing as too perfect.Congradulations,I believe you've made the best looking and most functional router table I've ever seen. Great job!

Thanks, it was the most beautiful router table that I saw, very beautiful design, beautiful details, and good use of new technologies, new materials and products.

I like how you designed the side openings to be able to fit your Festool driver for assembly! Awesome work, the opening shots are spectacular!

Beautiful router table build and accessories. Love the fact that you're just being you. Why pretend to be something your not or feel something your don't. Awesome build again and I look forward to seeing your future shop build.

Everything you do is lightyears beyond my abilities. Perhaps this is why I am a subscriber. Simply astonishing.😳

It is not high, looks like it will be easy to use at that height! And no one laughs and smiles just to make a video exciting! Impressive job! Just subscribed!

I like the height! I also like having tools, especially large “stationary” tools, on casters. Every time I have thought casters were unnecessary, I came to regret that decision. The not smiling, etc - is probably due to living so far north.😉 Then again, I met my wife of almost 50 years in Alaska! Best thing that ever happened to me! Stay safe!

Absolutely stunning design and build. Very inspiring. Also very humbling.

I have a similiar router table and put my NVR where you were planning on putting yours and did the cable through the carcass and smaller drawer arrangement you were thing about doing..... your lucky you changed your mind!! Lots of times when feeding stock across the table I accidently bump the switch and turn off the router mid cut so you ended up with a much better solution than me by accident! Nice build

I actually like the laid back, not overly happy style you have. Thanks for the nice video.

Har själv haft svårt att le när jag inte menar det. One of the most good looking workshops out there, nothing left behind. This is one channel I get happy when a new video is available. Thx 🤘🏻😃

I think it turned out great! Looks really good. And I agree, build it the way you want it and for how you’re going to use it. You’re the only one that’s going to be using it so it doesn’t matter what others might think.

I love the cabinet Pierre! Great features and a good design!

I love your perfectionism! Great job!

Beautiful, beautiful piece of work. Nice video work as well. Thanks for sharing.

Your attention to details is really amazing. Slick table. I wish I had the shaper origin too 😅😇

I think that router table looks fantastic! Great project for me in the next few months too. Thanks for sharing.

I have to agree with you the plan is always Grandeur then the results! Great observation

I want to make a router table too. I’m so glad I saw this video, because it has given me some amazing ideas. Thankyou for being honest with the things that weren’t perfect (like the drawer runners). I also really enjoyed the beginning of the video -very Nordic Noir, and felt like the start of a horror movie.

wow! Now I know what I want to make myself for Xmas!

Beautiful build! Thank you for sharing :)

Cograts! Beautiful table! I admire your 3D print skill 🤘

I was a high end retail furniture designer for 20yrs and drawer slide instruction never become simple! I think that is why people are so loyal to brands- I was always a fan of Accuride, Blum were a real faff!

I really enjoy your channel. It's one of my faves. I love your honesty. You do in fact have a lot to smile about though. You have made some really cool stuff and your skills with CAD and 3D printing are a great compliment. I use 3D printing throughout my shop (although, I have not learned CAD yet) and just recently started a series showcasing how I use it. Your channel gives me more inspiration! (also, I've been following you under my other account name since just about the beginning.)

It is an excellent, elegant router table, and looks quite efficient to use. I am surprised how much enjoyment I had in watching this, as I will never build such a table or spend that kind of money. It's just good to know that you built it and that it exists in the world.

Beautiful job! Love it.

Beautiful table, will definitely get more inspiration from it next winter when building my own. About the height of the table I was think two things. First, it might be good to also have it on casters in the new shop. Second what about just making the table lower, then if you want to take the casters away you can just add a base to the table. I have many times made what I believed to be "smart choices" for some future idea, but ended up just wasted time and effort in planning for it.

Tilt function is very nice to have. Great result.

Good job! I was laughing about your experience with the undermount slides - I can honestly say that I had the exact same WTF moments as you.

Very nicely done. It IS the perfect router table

Blum undermount drawer slides are amazing though, products and instructions I got the tip open option as well

Really nice project and video 😊

very nice design and build. Given your height the finished table does not appear too tall. It is often nice to have work pieces and the tool raised some to result in better hand control and improved vision. ❤

I bought a sheet of this stuff under the name of Valchromat for my mft top. I love it. It's 19mm, instead of 18mm, though, and a has a higher density (heavier) than regular mdf. And I like the fact that you point out that you prefer to be you- I totally understand and agree. Really nice build there. Just a shame that stuff is so expensive.

True facts about project feelings, Relatable

This looks soo nice, smiles or not!

It turned out great , love the look of it 👏👍👍

A man with perfection never smiles on his own stuff, just nod a bit and say "This will do I guess, buuuut... could've done this and this better". But when you see someone elses work you smile and enjoy it in some other way, but also if your wife gets happy from the stuff you make and she puts a smile on your face, I'd say that is a win win, because you still enjoy creation.

Dude, awesome video and router table!

Damn , awesome bit of kit

Thanks. I learned some interesting tips. One thought: I like to place the switch so it can be reached with my thigh in case I need to turn the router off and keep hold of the work piece.

That is an amazing router table

Bara för man inte alltid ler, betyder det inte att man inte är glad. Thanks for the inspiring videos. I live by the philosophy that if you can make it your self, then why spend a bunch of money for someone else to do it for you. It 's also a fun process then that's a bonus. Im in the planning phase of a movable mitter/router-station for my workshop so this was super inspiring. Thanks you. ! And keep up the good work.

Looks ace, top work 👏

Great video! 👍 Interested to see how the top wares over time + with use (both in terms of finish and material) I’ll keep watching! 😉

Absolutely amazing job your videos are getting better and better with each one love your humor and you have become such an amazing 3D Printer artist you have made so many cool and amazing things I just need a 3D Printer and to learn how to use it lol . Thanks for sharing

Wow, I love it!

Very nice work my friend,

Enhorabuena, gran proyecto.

Absolutely beautiful work, smiling is overrated and as you said it's only worth smiling when you are truly happy, I find people who smile all the time are false. Be your true self that's what makes us all different and different is good.

She’s a beauty I love the router table. You don’t have to smile at the end but you should be so proud of what you have created ❤ oh and PS thanks for the shout out ❤

Awesome table!

Hey man, I never comment on a video but you designed a really great router table with a lot of thought behind it. I think we all appreciate it very much if you just show who you really are. As others have put it way better than me: Why show a facade when you just can show your real side? Keep up the great work man!

Looks great and the height looks about right for you. I would love to see a video on how you design the 3d printed tray for the wrenches.

Love the honesty to this video. 👍🏻 I’m planning to remake my router table at some point. So I’m seeing lots of good design features I could use. But yet again I feel I need to buy a 3d printer before I can do justice to my router table plan. 😜

looks great

Thank You for you work. It was great. What was the pad you use to apply the finish ?

Very nice. I also just finished my first router table also with a lift from Sauter and that same stupid nvr switch. I rewired the switch with an outlet for the router and a much longer power cord to plug it in. I was also thinking about using black mdf but opted to use high quality birch plywood instead with front oiled with bangkirai oil witch turd out really cool.

Great job

Grymt bygge! Jäkligt snyggt med den svarta Mdf:n! Måste sno bit förvaringen! Smidigt! Grym video!

I do enjoy your videos and dry humour. Keep your videos coming. I do have a question regarding the fence rollers on your router fence. Do they roll in one direction only? Comments say they roll in both directions freely. Thanks

Beautiful build and amazingly good video. I love what you do and I get everything you went through here. There is one thing that I can't agree with and that is where you put the switch. Safety should always come before everything else. I know it's hard when you're really deep into a project to try to pull that extra bit of give a shit, but I think Safety corners should never be rounded or cut. 😅

That is really beautiful. Grattis.

Nice project, I am impressed. You’ve given me the inspiration to change my old router table ( which is exactly the same as your old one ) into something more user-friendly for me. Like you, I won’t smile when I finish my projects, I feel a degree of satisfaction for a bit, then I look it over to see what I could have done better, and move on to the next project. I admit I did smile a bit when you said `pick and choose’ because to my ear, it sounded like you said `Pikachus’. Small things, small minds I guess. Keep up the good work.

Wow! Impressive!

Dennis from hooked on wood approves of the black mdf

Great job! Where did you get the clips for holding the hoses on please?

Have you thought of using removable casters for the moment? I have them on a bench - too talll by a bit for most things but once I remove them to plant it for proper woodwork it's just right.

Love this table, and the way you approach everything! Don't change, Pierre! Stupid question maybe, but how do you get ChatGPT to generate an icon?

I can't believe you went from the same crappy table that I've been trying to use to that glorious router table. I doubt I'm competent enough to make it, but have enjoyed the video. 🖖

Very nice! I decided on a saw table extension. I had to make a filler to make up for the difference between the original table and extension. I'm wondering why you didn't use your Origin to cut the foam? It works very well, assuming your foam isn't too soft. The Shaper frame works very well for tracing tools and create the .svg file.

Remember that decision not to get the Blum undermount drawer slides? If you had, you would have had adjustments to fix the forward tilt of the drawer face. I agree with your sentiment for you router table, but if you ever do a built-in for someone's home, this is something to consider. Nevertheless, it is a great looking router table and has some well planned features.

« Have you seen the price of those? » Blum’s comment near a stack of Festool containers… 🤣🤣🤣

Looks great! I love that black MDF, and I wish we could get it in the states more readily and not cost a fortune. // I love the application of 3d prints to this project.

Riktigt grymt bygge!! 🤩 Hade jag varit du, så hade jag kostat på mig ett stort leende och en rejäl klapp på axeln!! 👏👌😁

Beautiful utilitarian design. What is the Mdf for I am sorry I did not catch the name in video.

I would happily fit one of those router tables in my bedroom. got some free space right between the milling machine and the night stand.

Very nice!

Can you walk us through your workflow for designing that custom fit marble look tool tray to hold the router bit changing hardware? It looks fantastic! Great video BTW, amazing work!

Just keep being you! So much better than all these phonies i believe alit of people are pretty much the same as you i know i am maybe its a swedish thing beautiful router table!!!

Dammit! Swedish perfection... Hälsning från 🇫🇮

What is your watch? looks good

Come on. Thats a masterpiece!

What is the name of the t-square straight edge you used with adjustable center stops? Thank you

Gucci setup ❤

I'd be mad happy if I had managed to design and build that table - it looks great / awesome / magical / amazing / stunning / beautiful. As for the humour that others are referencing......... can those people provide timestamps, I must have yawned. Keep up the good work. ;)

If you want to hide the wonky drawer face maybe simply add weight to the back of the drawer? You could also add edge trim to the side of the cabinet that extends just beyond the drawer fronts.

Great video Pierre! The router table looks brilliant and is very well thought out. Did you consider the hinges castors that you lower into place when you need them?

love the look and build m8 , no smiling required . I also appreciate that your not sending me to overpriced amazon for all the bits n bobs used, banggoods also sells quality products.

Really cool , I want one like that ! , but the cost évaluation isn’t good for professional use. You should count the work hour around 50 to 70e per hour . It might increase significantly the cost ! Anyway loving router table !

I love your honesty, and I really think forced smiles can sometimes come across as insincere if over or under done (by anyone). But then in this line of work, I suppose there is an element of performance needed to engage the viewer? I love it when makers show the mistakes made alonge the way, because it's honest, human and actually very usfuluseful for viewers. But I also really appreciate the time and effort put into the production value of the content, which is another form of art, much like acting, just with a different set of tools? But if you are not happy about some part of the end result, or have ideas of how it could have been better (even though it's too late now), please do always share those thoughts. When you said "here's a bit of me not acting", I thought, "oh shit, here we go. This is going to be weird, or sad or something". But then you just said some normal shit like a totally normal human being, and it was... normal 🙂 I enjoyed this video very much, so you must be doing something right. You do you, man. You are not only a maker, but also an educator, entertainer, performer, an inspiration to many and a business man, so I suppose there is a difficult line between being your true self, and what you present to the camera, while being all those things at once. That does not sound easy at all, but here you are, killing it 👍🏻 Very often, I do not give myself enough credit or praise for the things I have achived (which is far less than you have achieved tbh), so I think a lot of this "advice" should also be aimed towards myself lol. I hope maybe you can find more joy from your creations in the future, you deserve it.

Nice!

Sweet!

Nicely planned with the 3d prints and combination with the woodwork. I frequently use 3d printing to hybridise my builds and for such tasks as template guides, bracing/ports in my speaker builds etc. As regards you and how you behave on camera - I genuinely wish majority of KZfaqrs would ditch what I call the "YT Cadence", a juddering unnatural rate and pitch variance of speech that combines with false positivity to be super irritating. An end to BS click bait titles and dishonest thumbnails on YT would be gold to. Be yourself - and be appreciated a whole lot more for it :).

Very nice work and original features. Have to smile when you talk about being mediocre, you’re well beyond that. But I know, always striving for being better, next time. 😅 Throw in witty dry humour - and we get to smile and laugh while learning and getting inspiration. Far from mediocre! 🤘

You could use outboard wheels and feet that could lower the table?
