I have a small cordless trim router and have been debating on buying a big one and table. I have some scraps I can make something like this with. May just hold up on a big router for right now since my trim router does great. Thank you for your inspiration and creativity. You are awesome! Keep rockin it!

    Nice job Glen. I made a router table insert that sits inside my Ridgid table saw's gap when the rip fence is extended. Also made a fence attachment that hooks to the table saw fence and the opposite face is for the router. Works GREAT! Thanks for the videos and the ideas...
