That box joint jig-machine-guide-thing is unbelievable. I watched that part about 20 times. Don't know if you built that or bought it, but I wouldn't even know where to begin. Awesome as always Jay. Thanks for the vid.
Yes, this is 100% useful, and not a bit harder than it has to be. This is the best design for a router table I have seen.
Neat idea using the dead space at the bottom of the drill press. Also like the trim router, since the bulk of what most of us do it chamfering or rounding over the edge on parts.

so many great ideas in one video, thanks. particularly liked the idea of you standing next to yourself, explaining while the other you builds.
Not fair leaving your twin brother to do all the work and you just stand and talk.
I've seen router tables made so complicated. This is by far the best I've seen, simple and effective, get's the job done
kind of like the letter s at the end of the English plural
Thoroughly agree on the if it's not simple, easy and convenient, you won't use it. Love the new angles you get from your new camera pole.
Minimal space, simple to build, allows complete access to the router, what an elegant solution... fantastic! I'll probably make one of these.
Thanks for the inspiration! Your video has enabled me, a complete woodworking newbie, to construct a similar table from literal scrapwood. Not nearly as goodlooking but it gets the job done.
BTW: I salvaged a bright white LED and battery holder from a broken bicycle headlight and drilled a hole in the fence dome and inserted the LED so it illuminates the work area.
Nice great use of space and damn those finger joints look good!
Thanks dude.
yeh that finger joint jig is incredible!
Is there a tutorial on how you designed and built that?
Those finger joints coming together is worthy of /r/oddlysatisfying

The moment the box joint slit into place perfectly: instant subscription !
Excellent video Jay. Your concise explanations, and visuals during the process are very professional. It's easy to say you take your craft very seriously, and it shows. Reminds me of my grandfather, who was a master in the art of woodworking, he could craft just about anything made with wood, all with hand tools. Thanks, think I'll go out to the garage now and make one.
awesome, i salvaged a spin saw from the dump today and plan to work it out into a router. great idea for a small space
APPLAUSE!
(Call me a weirdo, but you could have shown every cut and 'advance' shot of that box joint and I would have watched it...so satisfying).
Merry Christmas.
Great, great idea. This is so much more likely to get built than a proper , large router table! Thanks for sharing!
I love this and tried it. I don't have that fancy box jig, so I just used the Kreg jig and pocket screws. I did make the wings on the feet to accommodate a clamp instead of securing it to a surface via screws or bolts. I also couldn't find those nice black knobs and went with wing nuts instead. My shop vac is my dust collection so I bought a reducer to keep the hole the same size. I have an older Dewalt 610 so the height adjustment is a bit tighter to reach, but it works great. Thanks for posting and I look forward to mirroring some of your other projects.
love the finger joint jig too. elegant work. thanks!
That box joiner jig is sic! Well done
Ho rivisto ancora il video ed e' veramente fantastico quello che hai fatto. Bravissimo complimenti
This is a brilliant idea for my VERY small workshop. In the space below the drill press sits my cross vise which is used very rarely. That is going to get demoted to another area and a Benchtop router unit like yours is going in its place in the new year. Thanks for this super idea. regards from Stephen in Lancashire UK.
Interesting timing and a neat little project. I just finished dropping a router lift into my Sawstop extension table to replace my little portable trim router table.
Great idea. I'm going to start on it tomorrow. Mine will be 4 times the size. 20 bucks and some work is better than 300 on a big expensive one. Thanks man.
Jay you do a great job at stripping things back to their bare bones. Unbelievably easy and highly functional! Great project!
I built a cabinet around the base of my floor standing drill press but left about the same amount of space above it as you have. I too find that I don't use that space.That dust collection works way better than I expected!
Amazing, you narrate, explainand present so professionally, and your elegance of design speaks for itself. Thank you.
Clearly a lot of thought goes into your work Jay! Thanks for another great video.
Nic enjoy, Jay. It's always nice to have the stability of a base cabinet and the flexibility to not have to much space taken up.
Jay Bates is very talented. I really like his videos.
I've been watching many videos trying to find just the right table for my trim router. I think I just found it. Although I don't have a table saw so no box joints for me. thanks for the design!
Nicely done. I really liked your finger joint jig as well.
"easy to make and convenient to use" the best slogan, great job!!!
Great project for people like myself, beginners with limited space. Thank you
I built one similar in the past from plans obtained online...I ordered a second router base "sleeve" so I could use the router as a handheld, or in the table without having to remove/install 4 screws everytime.
love it....I am making it as soon as holidays are over...great job
Great Christmas gift. I needed a router table design
Nice design, I like your use of the box joints.
Wow! What a beautiful box joint!!
It's a treat to watch at 4:08 the two pieces meshing perfectly with each other. John's Ultimate Box Joint Jig is a brilliant design.
Great build as usual.
Nice project Jay! Love that you walk through your design constraints and considerations before you get into it. Gives the project a lot of context. Merry Christmas to you and fam!
I just built the box joint jig. I like your idea with marking every other thread.
Amazing timing! Santa just brought me this exact DeWalt trim router and I have a lot of edges to round over.
I do enjoy watching a pro work...
Your solution is always simple and elegant. You didn't use T-tracks made it simple and cheaper to build. Love the router table.
Your box joint jig works great. Never thought I wanted one but maybe I do!!
It's not my design. It's from John Heisz
Steve Lyde yeah, super cool box joint jig.. I don't suppose there's a video of its construction Jay?
Overall, great video.
Favorite part: The composite of you (in real time) with yourself (sped up) gluing it together. Awesome shot!
@Jay Bates
I really enjoy watching your movies. Saw a couple of them this afternoon and you have a very calm and constructive way of explaining things, that I really enjoy. I think I am going to build a table just like this for my little Makita. Thanks for the inspiration!
Nicely done, Jay. The only time I lower my drill press way down is to drill out tall pepper mills where I need the extension on my forstner bit. Otherwise it's up high for pens and other stuff. Keep on keepin on!
I bought the wood to build a router table in 2015. Guess what I still haven't built?
Thanks for the inspiration Jay! Moving this to the top of my project list!
Man! Your videos have been on point lately! Speaking to me and my needs.The camera stand and this. I have a router table that is too large for my space, I need to make a little table like that. Unfortunately, don't have a drill press to put it under yet, so I'll have to find another home for mine, but once again, great inspiration, thanks!
what a great idea thank you Jay
Very handy! Great use of finger joints. I suppose you'll keep your bits and wrenches close by? Being as light as it is, you could temporarily set it anywhere. But if you moved it, you might want a way to clamp it down. A couple of holes near the bottom for f-style clamps would work. I might have run the dust collection out the back or side but understand why the top work in your situation.
Complimenti! Il progetto è molto chiaro e semplice anche per me che sono un neofita. Un saluto da Palermo (Italia).
This is a great project. I like that you used your experience to just build exactly what you need and make use of dead space. Also really liked that overhead shot of the box joint jig, looks like you're enjoying the new camera stand.

i built this with a few small adjustments, this was a big help thanks
Total shop envy. Those Redwing handles are pretty great too! And the joint jig??!!! Amazing. Subscribed.
that box joint was beautiful
You're a gun buddy, easiest I've seen. I like the look of your workshop and the way you work. Subscribed. Thank you very much for your time!
nice that its more mobile to move over to your workbench for extended periods of use, as apposed to bolting down. Merry Christmas!
The box joint scene is gratifying... lol
Brother that’s a awesome router box table. ✊🏻✊🏻u r my new woodwork profesor 🙏🏻
486000 people cant be wrong !! subscribed. Great shop and project Jay. Keep it up
very neat and compact table, putting it on my to do list; grateful for sharing the idea
Very cool little table. I don't do a whole lot of woodworking, but I did just get my first router (Trim Router) for Christmas. This looks like a neat idea to make it easy to use. I really like the location as well.
Great video Jay. Thanks for link to the box joint jig. That is what I was looking for next. Very cool.
dig it. just ordered a trim router. will be building one of these
That wedge to secure the router table is genius!
I'm pretty new to wood working and am looking for great ideas like this. I only have a small cellar to work in, so saving space is very important. Also I've been struggling to work out how to put a router fence into my bench and not destroy it's integrity, such a simple fence and a great solution! Thanks..
That's a pretty cool feature where your standing there talking as the rest of the video is sped up, I've never seen anyone do that before. I like it.
that joint jig you have is crazy! Nice video man!
Great table design..... and dude!!!! The angles you are getting from the new camera stand are really cool!!!
Thanks for the awesome idea Jay.
That finger joint jig was a real show off :)
You inspire me every week with your amazing videos. Thanks
Really nice job. Now I want to get ride of my floor standing drill press and conserve space with this table. Thanks for the creative ideas. Really enjoy your postings.
Excellent, watching from Philippines,, thanks for sharing this video..
Loved it.. great .. i had a table top router and today I bought the trim one.. which I am going to put in a copy of this table... great job bro.. appreciate your time and efforts to share such works with the world..
Thanks

That's awesome Jay!!! Thank you for sharing this build. I love watching your videos, and have learned so much from them. Thanks again 👍🏽
I love simple, functional solutions. Thanks for sharing your knowledge
Yet another good jig that I will use soon. Thanks Jay
Merry Cheeseburger and a happy new Sausage.
And a Merry Christmas and happy New Year as well! :)
You are the man dude. absolutely thoroughly enjoy watching your post.
+Nicolas Summersgill thank you
I have often used the Valspar clamps on projects. Good stuff
your room is tidy and beautiful.
Not sure what's more amazing, the box joint or the jig you made to make the box joint.
I really like the box gig you have made
Nice work. Going to do something like this. Inspired!
That's really good Jay food for thought for people like me also, who do not have much room very neat and tidy.
Really enjoyed the video Thank You.
You're the best thanks. Some peoples don't show up. Thanks and Merry Christmas
Jay, Enjoyed the video.
With that arrangement of drill and router, you could implement a pin router. Line up the router collet with the drill chuck, I most often use a 1/4" metal rod, then you can place a template on your work piece and repeatedly route pieces by following the template.

Hope you had a Great Christmas.
Beautiful ! and Great use of space !
I'll be making this, Jay. Thanks! I think I'll offset my router farther to the back of the box though for more surface at the front.
Limited in shop space? My hobby/workshop in out on the balcony of my high rise apartment. I bought one of those table top router plate things. It's not going to work. Presently my work bench is a 3/4" table top I picked up, from the garbage pile out back. The table top sits on top of a couple of plastic saw horses from Home Despot. But you have given me an idea. I am just going to mount it to the underside of my work table. Dust control is a big problem for me at the moment, especially from my thickness planer, but that's another story.
Sometimes you really piss me off. You make everything look so easy to make. Damn you to heck....and Merry Christmas.
I have been thinking about making one of these for my shop. Thanks for the video!! I think I will be doing it now.
Excellent table router. Will be making one soon! Thanks!👍
Merry Christmas! I've needed a router table for small tasks. Your uploads are always very informative and easy to follow. Thank you for all the excellent content.
Nice job Jay. cool idea to keep it small for those quick round overs.
nice Christmas gift. Thank you
I agree-easy to make and use! Very nice
Clever use of space, I like it.
Creative build! I really like that dust control system, looks simple and effective!
