That's exactly the fence I plan on building! I already got the plans
for it. It looks like I have the flexibility to easily tweak the design
if I don't want all the bells and whistles. After I start work on it,
I'll decide how far I want to go with that particular project.

Pat does some amazing work!!!

Pat did an article in FWW a few years back on how to build this (he sells
them too) and I built it. Great fence and makes a great complement to the
Jessem Rout-R-Lift that I coupled it with. One helluva combination. But as
Pat will tell you - a 2 by 4 will work also....

Yeah, I was looking at their site already. Some great stuff! I'm
actually going to try to make the fence myself, but it's nice to have a
fallback in case my efforts turn out to be a total disaster.

Okay, so I decided (based on encouragement from friends and strangers)
to build my own router table. I mean, how BAD could it be? (that'll be
yet another story for another day)

The first thing I do is start looking for a phenolic sheet to make my
router plate for the table. I found some at the Aircraft Spruce &
Specialty company. I planned on using a 3/4" piece so that I could
handle the heaviest of routers.

So I find that a 12"x12" 3/4" sheet would cost me $67 ... plus shipping!

Yikes! So I take another look at router plates and find a Jessem Router
Lift w/plate (3/4" phenolic) for $135 and free shipping!

So for $65 more, I get the plate, it's cut and ready-drilled for my
Bosch 1617, AND I get the Jessem 02302 router lift.

Somedays ... it feels good to spend money!

Sounds Like the way to go. :-)
