A sneak peek at my custom portable benchtop router table for an upcoming Popular Woodworking magazine article. This one's made of specialty Baltic birch plywood, called phenolic ply. Very high quality stuff and fun to work with. It even has Maker Stock Hex Ply for increased traction on the feet. A DIY custom woodworking project for your shop!
