    Best video on the subject. Thanks for a calming voice tone and no "uptalk", no clowning, no unnecessary chit chat, no kids in the frame and above all NO music. Thank you, you have saved me from having to spend $$$'s on a Kreg piece or one of unknown quality and possibly waste of money from Ali Express. Also, material list is much appreciated.

    I have looked at many many KZread videos on how to build a router table and this really is the best. Simple and cheap and bonus that its for the same Ryobi trim router I have. I like your method of suspending the trim router. No plexiglass to buy and cut etc. I wished you had turned on the router at the end to demonstrate that it will stay in place but it’s not a deal breaker because I’m still gonna build mine just as you did. Thanks for posting.

    You did just fine. Sometimes I see these guys show off all their expensive tools but truth be told, most guys in garages have what you have. I do. Thanks for sharing.
