Project Inspired By:
A local craftsman, named Bryce, who works out of his home. He gave me a tour of his shop, and had designed a router station very similar to this. He gave me permission to use the idea, and make modifications.

Project History & More Info:
While looking for a TV stand, I was astounded by the prices at the stores. I had a hard time believing a few pieces of wood put together could cost so much.
I started looking around on the classified ads for used options, when I came across a guy who made his own TV stands that looked awesome.
He ended up making a TV stand for us, and gave me a tour of his garage workshop just because I was curious.
He had made a flush mount router table built into his work table, and installed a light underneath to backlight it. I really liked his idea, so when I built this workbench, I tried to duplicate his idea, using 12” x 12” acrylic for the inlay because it looked awesome!
I think it turned out pretty well, and it works great.
I wired up some switches so I can turn it on and off from a safe distance.
