New Yankee Workshop Deluxe Router Station
Built it a couple of yeras ago and love it. I had no problems with the
plans, but I did make a few changes. I used my own top and fence
designs (bigger surface with t-tracks, and more versatile fence), and
I put a drawer where Norm had the wiring and switch (too much wasted
space). I also cut 3-1/2" off the bottom and put it on heavy duty
locking casters. Since I have only a garage shop for now, being able
to move it was a necessity. The locking casters do effectively keep it
from going anywhere when in use. The solidity and the noise dampening
of the cabinet make it a dream to use - I really enjoy it. The plans
were money well spent.

Has anyone here ordered the plans to the New Yankee Workshop Deluxe
Router Station?
How detailed are the plans? Are all materials and dimensions well
specified?" Is all the hardware fully specified and sources listed?
What was your final cost to buy all the necessary material? Does the
finished product live up to your expectations? For the time and money
you put in, do you think you might have been just as well off buying a
pre-made one from Rockler, Woodcraft, etc.? Any info you have will be
appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Chuck
