Router Table Complete!!!

The day has finally come and I have completed and installed the router table I was working on. Overall it worked out very well, and it is sturdy. All i need to do is mount the router on the plate, but that shouldn't be too challenging.... right?



on this part here (the underside connecting to the fence rails) I had to chisel out an area for the screw.
