Legs and Surface

More planed 2x4"s for the legs. Clamped together so I could sand the ends to be exactly the same length.

Test-fitting the legs, and test-fitting the Loc-line vaccuum hose for dust collection. That little 4" engineer square is a nice thing to have too.

Legs all attached.

Bet you were wondering how the router lift would be supported without a lip. This is MUCH better that trying to get the cut depth exactly right WHILE cutting within a template.

Partially assembled router levellers.

I didn't like being at the end of the leveller range, so I cut insets for them.

Hindsight is 20/20. I had to dig out some Neander tools to cut these notches. <gasp!>

Installed.

Standing on its own four legs.

Flushly levelled. Nice fit too.

I'm sure you've got the idea now....

Latex-based contact cement. just as smelly, not as flammable.

Stuck down in the prime of life.

Trimmed. That bottom bearing bit got quite a workout

Now it's looking like a router table. The bearing bit, being a little cheap, actually cuts a little short. The table hole is really snug now. No need for anything to keep the lift from shifting around.
