Great build pete. The nice thing about a big strong bench like that is when you aren’t using the router table it serves the added function of bench a good strong bench ☺️ Surfaces are premium in a small shop and to be able to setup the router in minutes/seconds, it’s an asset to your shop. Great build 😎💪
Keeping that fire exit nice and accessible, thats how you get super powers

Super job. The smile on your face says it all when you dropped the lift in. Theres nothing like makin stuff for your workshop it dose the heart ❤ good...
watching you maneuver the material into the shop, makes me feel like I'm in good company :-)
i was marvelling at your ingenuity......until it came to attaching the carefully constructed bench top to the wall !!..from you i would have expected a wheeled scissor lift contraption for flawless fitting.
Thanks for sharing. Again a proof (?) that you can find solutions for EVERY size of workshop!
Great job Peter!
Looks marvelous!!
Awesome build & video! Thank you for being so meticulous. You have given me some ideas how to put my lift in & build my fence, too. I can't wait to finish my router table top! Excited to see the next video.
brilliant as always Peter, and very insightful. Thank you.
Very impressed with your build. It looks to me that you have done exactly enough for most DIYers and Pro's alike. Of course things could be upgraded, but why reinvent the wheel. I suddenly feel the need to upgrade my router bench! Well done, keep up the good work.
A Router you call it!!! More like a modern Spindle Moulding Machine Peter 👍 Awesome Build. Would love to see some sort of professional quality T track fencing with feather boards and see through spring loaded gaurd on it to enhance your safety + also to complement the professional job you have done on building it. TOP CLASS THIS IS.. Can't wait to see the next video 🙂

Peter excellent build with some genius additions and just right for a small space , thanks for sharing your tips and tricks.
Nice to see you doing what you are very good at - demonstrating builds of larger projects. Nice One!!
Peter when are you doing a video of you sorting out the room next door. My heart is in my mouth each time you carry a sheet out of there, paranoid you are going to trip!!
When I wanted a torsion box, I went to Bunnings and bought a cheap internal door. It wouldn't do that job, but with a sheet of thick MDF on top, it might. I wanted mine for a bed inside Tin Can where it's fine, affixed and hinged to the side and some fold down legs that, when up, hide the bedding. A lightweight foam mattress makes be-making easy.
Looking good!!
Brilliant job

Hi Peter. I have said it before and I'll say it again. You are my most expensive KZread relationship. Just ordered a lift and router from Sautershop. Have been looking for a set up for a long time. For some reason I missed this video earlier. You made my decision easy and 5% cheaper (thank you!). Not sticking it to you (UK), but the B2B VAT saved me another 19%. You know being part of that EU thingie.
Please show more of the untidy side of your workshop. It makes me feel so much better about mine :)

Thx for the ideas
The sequence at 1:06 was strangely therapeutic - just seeing someone else, (let alone you, Peter,) wrestling off-cuts through a small workshop made me think, "I'm OK"
Great build Peter! Still sometimes wonder why people don't get a (used) spindle moulder instead of a router table given how expensive they can become with all the different parts.
@bluewanderer9903

A good router table - quality lift, powerful motor/router and quality fence - is a better tool for most jobs in cabinet making and light joinery. Quicker set up, quieter, far less tiring, mobile or it can be mounted into workbench, easy dust management with vacuum cleaner type extractor etc... As for the cost of spindle moulder, dont forget spindle heads, cutters, servicing/part replacement and you may be inheriting someone elses problems for as long as you have it, especially if buying 1k moulder (the cost of this lift and motor and table materials). It needs proper dust extraction set up. Also space can be an issue for some. Actually most folks use a lot cheaper router table set-ups than this and have great results.

I don't know if you'll see this, but The strength of a magnet"s pulling force is also relative to the thickness of the metal in which it's field is passing through. So the metal strips I seen you use you might test on the particular magnet you're using if a thicker strip would be better suited to your needs. I found this out because I bought a magnet switch from mag switch and it said 600 lb but when I put up a thin piece of metal it didn't hold with that much strength. It did when I put it up to a thicker piece of metal though. Of course it all depends on what you're trying to use it for. I used some small circle magnets that were really strong but I didn't need it to be that strong. That's when I had a separation material like nylon to wear this field isn't as strong.
A lot work but well worth it. really well built and will last for years good luck Peter hope you enjoy it

Hi Peter, an amazing build and video as usual, I feel your pain working on your own, occasionally it's nice to have another pair of hands. I built my whole new workbench on top of a temporary bench I was using then realised it was way to heavy to lift on my own so had to enlist the help of a friendly neighbour to lift it down. My router plate has 19mm radius corners so a little bit more awkward to router out for the plate but I'm getting there. I've gone for an Incra plate and their clean sweep insert plates so will be adding dust extraction underneath as well as in the Fence. Look forward to the plans coming out as I haven't decided yet whether to make or buy a fence 😁. I've drilled all my dog holes in my Bench already using the Parf Guide system which is expensive but well worth it. I'm imagining you will be using your Festool rails for that. Keep up the amazing work, I need to start relying on glue and brad nails a bit more LOL 😆

Beautiful work, Peter. At 25:05, I was hoping you were going to say "... as flat as a fritter." Real fritters, of course, are not necessarily perfectly flat, but owing it its delightful alliterative value, the phrase has become, at least around here (i.e., the Old South of the USA) to mean something is really, really flat.
