slim Posted April 19, 2011 Report Share Posted April 19, 2011 I took some advice from you guys and went ahead and built a router table. I just "wung it"......no plans, no drawing, nothing. Three hours later i made my first sliding dovetail. First time and it fit like it grew there [Thanks to Marc's instruction! (sculpted end table series)]!! So needless to say i was routing all night long with every bit i had bc this is my first router table. So at 2:30 a.m. I finally plopped in bed covered in saw dust/chips next to my wife ( ya, she got woken up at least three times to be shown what i was creating with my new self made equipment, bc i had to show SOMEBODY). The only thing now is that i need to make a fence for it bc the clamped on squared up straight edge piece of 4/4 isnt gonna work . I have thought of a few ways but would like to ask you all. Anybody got any suggestions? James- (Lower Slower Delaware) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andreas Posted April 19, 2011 Report Share Posted April 19, 2011 Hi Shellac. I'm thinking embarking on a similar project. Here is the design that I'm considering (scroll down about half way). I really like the dust collection he has on this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dyami Plotke Posted April 20, 2011 Report Share Posted April 20, 2011 It's not the cheapest one out there, bit the Woodpeckers fence is very nice. The basic Kreg one is too, at a much cheaper price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petersb Posted April 22, 2011 Report Share Posted April 22, 2011 I use this one and it has been just fine. http://www.woodstore.net/rofe.html If you have a backissue of WOOD magazine, it is in the Oct 2004 issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
