I am neither a professional woodworker nor anywhere near "wealthy". I *am* a hobbyist, though, so you got me there! Truthfully, though, I'm a bit sad that so many commenters are obsessed with the cost of the tools I used, rather than focusing on the essence of the project. The point was to present a design that is relatively simple and relatively easy to store. It would only take ten seconds of imagination to see how it could be built with simple screws and glue, as I have said so many, many times in the comments.

You can use screws or dowels instead of dominoes. I use a circular saw instead of a table saw, and you can get a drill press for $100. Most of my powertools I got second hand & I get most of my had tools from aliexpress at a fraction of retail price. It does not have to be expensive. The design is good. They only thing I dont like is lack of a router lift, but you can get them on ebay.

donald barnett I’ve learned woodworking by watching KZread videos and a few books from the library. Every power tool I own have came from Harbor Freight Tools and from ALDI . Yes I said Aldi! I do this simply because I’m poor and just can’t justify dropping $100 or more on s droll when I can buy one at ALDI for $29.99. I have made a table saw from an old power saw and today I’m making a router table using my Harbor freight router. I’m not a highly skilled woodworking person but I’m getting better and better with each project and I couldn’t do it without my homemade tools. Of course if I had the money it would be just be as simple as a nice Dewalt table saw but since I can’t I make do and that’s okay by me. I’ve always told my two daughters when they wanted something that was out of reach I would say, “If you really want something then you’ll find a way to make it”.

I wish all woodwork videos were made like this. No fancy intro, no talking, no irritating music, nice fast pace.

I agree that the use of the Domino was overkill for this project. It was more a matter of *wanting* to use it, rather than needing it. Screws and glue would have been more than sufficient, and that's a much more accessible construction technique. Perhaps if I do a follow-up, I'll use simpler tools. As for being a professional, well... no. I'm a professional software engineer, but I'm an amateur as far as woodworking goes.

Nice router table, thinking of building one for myself, once my new workbench is up and done. Just a quick question: What do you do about rising and lowering the router? Can it be set up with different, i don't know, "inlays" or a spacer(s) on top of the table, to elevate the piece you are working on, keeping the router stationary? That way you get to adjust the hight in increments. Not as accurate as a lift, but still an adjustment. Would that work? I am asking because I don't have a router yet, but it is on the shopping list :)

@MadebyJester

The router base that is attached to the underside of the table has a simple height adjustment method. There are thread-like grooves on the router, so rotating the router in the base changes the height. A toggle then locks it in place.
