      Technically speaking, a router table isn’t a “tool” in its own right. In fact, by itself it can’t do much of anything. However, once combined with a router, it turns that shop staple into a wholly different and more versatile kind of tool. Not only d

      C. The back is anchored by attaching screws on the upper board at the back of the box. You can add a small shelf with brackets onto the back too; it’s always nice to have a shelf above the sink for clean dishes and other miscellaneous items.

      D. Screw on the planks for the bottom shelf.

      E. Now it’s time to make the mold for casting the concrete work surface. I like to use shuttering plywood for my mold. Saw pieces to make a small, shallow box.
