I don't know how I missed this when it first came out, i do love all your builds. It looks like your router table is a mix of The New Yankee Workshop and a Mr. Sawdust table. Great men that inspired lots of ideas and excellent teaching, you are following right along on those same trails. Looking forward to your next video and i usually re watch your older ones to work on the build of my dewalt RAS builds in progress.

Amazing Brian! I've just received my Jessum Router-R-Lift II. I'm installing it in the right outfeed table on my 7790. Thanks for sharing this. Lots of good ideas.

I love your antique radial arm saw . For many years I wanted one of your vintage or the other choice was the Delta turret style.

Wow, it looks like you've got it all figured out!. And I'm happy to see a DeWalt RAS & lathe in use too.

Brilliant the RollsRoyce of diy router tables

Good job, Brian! Thanks for taking the time to make the video.

I’m not sure how I have missed your videos, i guess too many birthdays, . Seeing your DeWalt Radial Arm saw brought back so many fond memories. I remember when my father bought a new one in 1955. I wish someday to find one just like it….Dad sold his when we moved from Indiana to California in 1959. I retired and building my workshop in a converted two car garage. I just bought a used workmate to convert it like yours…I really enjoy your video a wealth of wonderful ideas, Thank you ever so much….

Another Masterpiece! The router table and the video. You are so talented! The quality of both are amazing. Please keep doing what you do. Your projects and videos are such a pleasure to watch.

looks amazing! I just found one of these workmates buried in the back of my folk's garage while helping them move, and it's in quite a state lol. I'd have a lot of things to do before I could try and get something like this router table set up on it, but it's very inspiring to see what you've done.

Phenomenal video as usual. I can't wait to get started making one. The bonus is to that you use the Workmate as the foundation. Perhaps one of the most versatile tools ever made. Keep up the great work. You're my favorite video content creator by far.

A great piece. I can't help but find it ironic that there's so much router work to make a router table. 😁

Another great video, thanks for taking the time to share your superb workmanship with all of us.

Brilliant! what a great way to utilize a B&D Workmate. Have had a Workmate for years and never thought of using it like this. Also commend you for using a RAS. so many old ones still out there not being utilized.

Another fine video. Good idea. The hold down rollers look a great idea.

I really like the idea of burrying the steel flatbar into the lamination. Seems like an obvious and easy method, but never thought of it. I just hope I don't forget about it later and hit it with a saw when I invariably reuse the piece for something else. Never used a radial arm saw before, but looks super useful. Maybe I'll find one to restore in the future. Great build and thanks for the ideas, hombre. Cheers hombre.

I have been thinking about doing something like this, but Wow! after seeing your build I will have to raise my game several levels. ;-)

Brian, as usual a great job! Video skills, logical progression, precision and accuracy...and useful! I am still in awe of your fined turned RAS. And don't you know you cannot do a rip cut on that piece of equipment...so they say!

That's a very nice and practical router table. Nice work.👍🏻

Hi there, what fantastic video. You have great skill. Im new to woodworking but look forward to adapting my B&D workmate. Thanks for the education. Hopefully i can pick up the parts you have used here in Scotland uk. Cheers Ewan. 👏👍😀

The MRA in action! Good job Brian! Excellent project again.

Outstanding video and demonstration of your many skills!

Like I said on another video I will be doing that when I have cleaned my WM626. Thank You.

Excellent video and process. Thank you for sharing and inspiring.

Fantastic. Made it really easy to follow

Nice work Brian.

Lovely work. Thank you.

Thank you, great how to.

That’s really awesome. Thanks for sharing.

That was a brilliant explanation and result. Thanks.

Fantastic build, superb quality you've got me inspired to have a go at one too 👍 New to tour channel so that's a new sub too, well done

Excellent video. Very informative, educational and interesting.

That radial arm saw is pretty amazing. I wonder when DeWalt switched from green to yellow. This is a great project. I think I'll put some metal D rings on one so I can hang it and the workmate on the wall on some horizontal rods.

Excellent video, excellent project. Thank you

It's an excellent idea, I have a B/D workmate 550 and I don't use it, I'm going to start this modification, thanks for your good ideas.-

What a well done video. Thank you.

Lovely job , well done 👍👍👍👍

Definitely looks solid! While I'm a fan on the Mr Sawdust table, I'm thinking that it is a bit overkill for this application. The point of the steel bars was to support the tabletop between the mounting points of the radial arm saw, but that whole span is already supported by the work mate table.

jaw dropping, wow what an amazing idea.

Thank you for your great work 👏

Hey Brian, Your videos are good and fun to watch ! STOP ! , PLEASE STOP ! Every time I watch another video, I feel myself spending more money and I'm going to run out of floor space. Great Job ! 🤔

I,am purchasing my first workmate,I can’t believe all the mods you can do with this thing

Masterful craftsmanship! Not for the faint of heart though. Signed Heart, Faint O.

Brilliant

nice job . good idea adding the tempoary bits of wood to help clean the inside opening . which model of plunge router are you using jessem ? im assuming na from your accent

Great! I have a $110 Workmate. All I need now is the $1000-worth of lathe, radial saw, plunge router, table saw, etc. and then I can get right on this project! 🤣

Just found your channel and I love it! Why’d you quit KZfaq? No new videos in a year.

Great idea, Brian! What kind of plywood did you use?

Brilliant. Where were you in the 80's?

Brian, at minute 10 you show cutting the slots in the base of the fence with which to slide it back and forth along the table behind the router blade. In minute 13:17 you show the back of the fence with the screw handles to hold the fence to the table top. What I cannot find is where / how you placed the screws through the table top with which to tighten the fence to the table. Where did you place them and are they intended to be removeable or fixed so that fence can slide back and forth but likely never removed entirely. The fence and table top become essentially one piece. Could you comment or show us another image of where and how the screws are placed through the table top? Thanks.

Genius.

Hi Brian, What model Dewalt RAS is that and how do you like it compared to other models? Thanks. I like the kerf adjuster thing you made.

Nice build. Can I ask how much it weighs, please? I really liked the idea but now I'm thinking because of the weight maybe we should install a router permanently between the rails of the table saw.

Can I ask you what are the dimensions of the table

Very clever

A fixed, linear fence allows for a slight gap between the workpiece and the outfeed side of the fence as the workpiece is processed through its route path. The gap is the thickness of the material removed by the router bit which can eventually result in snipe imperfections somewhere in the workpiece. How could an adjustable outfeed fence side be designed to pickup the gap and still accommodate the dust collection?

Excellent video and barefoot to boot (pun intended).

That takes up less space then a dedicated router station.

you cheated you used a table saw! with a cross cut sled no less! I'm shocked! I'll never watch another video you do! I'm Joking! I didn't know you even owned a table saw Nice build. I have the same lift router and stock guides I went a differnt route I found a nearly new fish tank stand in a dumpster nothing wrong with it at all I took the top off and put in on the bottom and the bottom bars to the top this gave me a 3'x4' apx stand I had some commercial 7 ply plywood used for retail shelves that were set out as trash the is 3 ply plywood mdf 3 play plywood mdf 7 times its 1.5" thick I bought the lift and the template from Jessem cut my hole out on first try it didn't want to fit so I put the template back on and ran it a second time this was just enough to fit perfectly. under the router I built a box for dust collection out of 1/4" luan installed a 120 volt plug and plastic box ran the cord for this box out the bottom and bottom of the box on the back I put a dust collection port for a vacume the top dosn't need one all the dust in pulled down past the motor I believe the motor blows air out the bottom now pointing up so its not going to fill with dust. This stays pretty clean and around the router table. I also made the fence from an mdf bed side rails adding L top track for the router's guide rollers this gives me a way to use the stock guides and add adjustable stops. on the fence slides i used carriage bolts, but I like the system you used a lot better. I cut the slots using my craftsmen over arm router table. After I was done with this i realized I needed a dc type router with speed control so i bought a bosch 1617 from CPO outlet it was a reconditioned router it fit perfectly in the same lift now I have speed control for larger bits. somthing I didn't know I needed. combination

A few seconds into this video and I knew it was just a vanity project which would be ludicrously expensive and requiring skills that a lot of amateur woodworkers won’t have. In other words pointless unless you are just curious rather than someone looking for a realistic router table solution.
