*Did you like the idea of using shock absorbers as an Elevator?*

No background music THANK YOU!

Watching you work helps keep me sane during this time of year. Thanks

I begin watching and I'm instantly confused. Within the last minute I finally understand what's going on here. Great idea! Genius reuse of the shocks

Wow!...i would make an amazing apprentice to this guy...i thought i had a engineering mind...man...he is a beast! He would bring to life my many concepts that i have not had the space or shop to explore for years and because he has endless experience in hands on and training and fine-tuning the engineering talent..it looks like any of my ideas i would be a beginner...months to get done by the time i am done researching...he will see it and finish it in a week! 😂😂 a guy like this is a dream to be around with people like me...just mind blowing and refreshing to watch...wow!!!

WOW, excellent job. You make me jealous with that great lift. Thank you for sharing !!!

Parabéns..., adorei ver seu trabalho, belíssima ideia, montei uma aqui e não tinha feito esse sistema de elevação, é muito eficiente! FANTÁSTICO ❗️ Abraço aqui do Brasil 🇧🇷

These videos kicks the creative juices flowing, appreciate these videos, their priceless.

Eres un excelente artesano..! Creativo , innovador y con buenas herramientas..!

My favorite part was seeing you use so many of your other tools you made.

Great idea. Masterful realisation. Notice: convenient shock absorbers may also be mountain bike forks.

In the beginning I was like hmm!! But halfway through I was like waow, cool. Why didn’t I think of this. 😎 Good job.

Brilliant.Never thought its going to end up being a router table.

Excelente idea y muy bien desarrollado el proyecto,con materiales reciclados o fáciles de conseguir,un saludo cordial y por supuesto un gran like desde Narón, Galicia (España)

Very clean and robust design! Loved it! Thanks for sharing!

De las mejores y mas ingeniosas que he visto. Hecho con materiales al alcance de la mano!!!

Show my friend! From Brasil! I just love the project. Congratulations.

The best diy router lift i have ever seen, thank you for the great idea

One of the greatest router lifts ever made. 👍👌

Super stout and beefy! A router table build is in my future and I really like this design. Sadly, I just got rid of the old shocks from my truck. They were totally shot. But the metal scrap yard has plenty of old ones laying around. :)

This is brilliant. I especially like how you adjust the level. So easy and simple!

Tienes un equipo espectacular. Muy buenas ideas. Felicitaciones.

Incredible! You are such a master! God bless you! Please put more videos.

Very nice, clean build. I was confused by the title. I was wondering how a router was going to work as a milling machine. Was stuck on metal vs wood. Technically it is a wood "milling machine". Love the lift.

Brilliant, and a whole lot cheaper. 👌🏽 Awesome work mate 👍🏽

Hermano este invento está genial gracias por compartir tus creaciones en serio me encantó. Saludos

This is one of the best diy router lift ideas I've seen, without any expensive parts, and very well made. Well done! I was looking for some old shock-based router lift ideas and found this. I didn't know until a few minutes that it was going to be a router lift. If you mentioned it in the title ("router lift") you might help more people who are really interesting in building one find it and get more views.

Neat idea. One thing I noticed at the end is that it looked like maybe you let the router bit bottom out in the collet. If so, that’s not a good practice because a bottomed-out router bit can loose in use. It’s better to lift it up a bit so it’s not touching bottom for a better hold and safer operation.

Most impressive using struts like that as well as your raising/lowering screw! Well Thought OUT! The Only thing I might ad is a bearing for the Lift screw at the top. This one made me subscribe! Reuse, Repurpose, Recycle....most excellent. Thanks for the great ideas you bring forth.

Alle Achtung mein Kompliment, tolle Idee und perfekt umgesetzt. Klasse Leistung.

That is something new. Well done

This is one of the most useful projects I have seen on YT. Great work. Now just the problem of finding shocks that aren't ruined...

One of the best DIY router lifts I've seen; I don't use my router table to justify building one but I still enjoyed the post Thanks

Awesome build, I love it, thank you 👍

I seen a similar project to this on another channel but it had a fence set up for extra quality assurance. But this video right here is probably my favorite so far.

Very few of these "amazingmust build for every shop" videos are worth the time to watch them. This one is very worth the time. Great job, I might actually make this myself. Subscribed just for this video alone.

Parabéns meu irmão trabalho de profissional chou de bola como disse o amigo em um comentário mais um fã pro seu canal um grande abraço 😉 daqui do 🇧🇷 também 👍👍👍

Gracias por compartir esta gran idea saludos desde El Salvador bendiciones

Super...com ferramenta certa...uma ideia vira realidade...parabens...

πολυ εντυπωσιακο, ο Θεος να σε οδηγει σε μεγαλυτερες επιτυχιες.

Awesome project, well though out and constructed.

This was pretty awesome, time to search for some shock absorbers, haha

This was a uniquely awesome idea! Well done!

Yes liked the shock absorbers idea very much . What a refreshing video you made, it was so much more watchable with the screaming power tools muted well done. I'm wondering where you got that drill stand ? Its brilliant.

It is good to see simple inexpensive tools to make bigger tools.

You Sir are a genius!! I wish the owners of the scrap yards could see what can make with what they thought was junk. Something they threw to the side is now a perfectly functioning router lift!

Great job loved the shock absorbers idea it turned out perfect and nice video thank you for sharing your video with us 🔥💯💪🏼👍👍🙏🙏✌

Wow 👍🏽GREAT Video! Thanks for Sharing! Have A Super Week!.....Gus

Amazing idea my friend! You are very talented and have an eye for making "nothing" into "something"! Just please PLEASE be very careful when grinding and or cutting around gas charged shock absorbers, those things can and will explode! Im sure you are aware of the dangers they pose as you were constantly cooling them with water, the danger is still there. I just dont want this to be the last HandCraft video. Once again great job and very impressive!

You are a Genius, great video, keep them coming.

Beautiful tools and ideas and creation ❤ This gives me another idea, this can be a height adjustable work desk. Possible ?

Very good, I think you are one of a handful of people I have seen that are inventive enough to make your own router table. Very well done. You rock.

Классный станок получился!

Very creative mind, simplicity at its best to create a very functional addition to your shop, well done fella

Cool, cool, cool. The easiest and best ski lift! 👍👍👍

طرح جالبیWhat an interesting design .Beautiful and professional

Wow ! That’s genius...

Amazing work , to much professionnel , it will take me a year to do that , if i finish .... Thank you , the video is pro too

COOL!!!!

Great idea and a wonderful build.

Great job. Well thought out and very workable. If you made them for sale I would buy one from you. Very talented

That's just brilliant!

That was freaking awesome 👍. Well done. Now I'm off to go scavenge for some discarded car struts. Thanks for sharing. ✌️

Excelente herramienta bien hecha👍

Very cool, and well done!! Genius!

i rly like that you took special care of them and cooled them with water while grinding parts off to not risk taking dmg inside from the heat

Great idea Friend! Thanks for sharing the build with us!💖👍👌😎JP

very cool thing, you need to try to do it, the right thing, cool👍👍👍👍👍👌👌👌👌👌

VERY ingenious. Congratulations.

I appreciate your work. You did a great job....

Really good work, looks clean and very solid.

Очень здорово получилось! Фрезер (ручной) по английски - это router. Manual milling machine - это фрезерный станок по металлу. Я ожидал увидеть, как амортизаторы присобачивают к фрезерному станку 😀

Sáng tạo hay lắm áp dụng rất thực tế

Nicely done interesting use of different materials from different trades 😁 Iv a collection of various sized chrome plated rods iv cut from various shocks iv scraped over the years these are Extremely Useful for lathe projects where the I.D. can be bored to suit the chrome rod in its natural state as it’s far better finished and corrosion resistant than can be achieved in the home metal shop. Your use of the whole shock was very good I liked it and will keep the idea up my sleeve going forward 👍🏻

Exelent project 👍 in my case I went to home depot and got one for $99.00

That's pretty cool I've gotta say!!

great video one tip when you put the unibond or woodglue on, spread across surface and the sprinkle some salt on the surface , when you clamp the parts they dont skid out of position, simple and effective

Thanks for the excellent video, great imagination.

Awesome 👍. Great creativity and execution👌 Thanks for sharing buddy😎

eccelent workmanship

I have never seen so many tools in one place in my life.

Felicitaciones muy interesante esa herramienta exelente 100% admirable

Well, I'm impressed... 👏

I'll have to say....your videos are simply the best.

Ficou muito bom parabéns

Nice job on the router table.

Fantastic work, dude! Nicely done!!! 😃 Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

فعلا معلم بل فنان رائع انا اعمل بنفس الطريقة. حياك الله

Классный лифт получился

Good job Chinne ورشة المحترف workshop Good luck

That was truly inspired

Love it. Really nice work.

Brilliant. Just brilliant!!!

Now that was a lot of work but well worth the effort.

Great idea, nice and simple.

This video got me to subscribe, not sure I'll do this with my old shocks but far out, love your style ;)

Excellent recycling idea!

Super Video.Danke!

Thats exactly the kind of security boots i wear in my shop :D

Very Smart idea .... 👍🏽
