   John,
   Many of us have built Norm's router table from the New Yankee Workshop...and are quite pleased with the utility, quality and cost. The carcas can be constructed quite quickly with a couple of sheets of 3/4" ply and some 1/4".

   Can get you some design criteria but not plans, free at the RT link.

   John,

   Here are pictures of what I designed & built for myself. It is a big table, but I like it.

   I built mine from Norms plans with a few mods. I got the plans and the video, and after I built it, sold the plans here on the classifieds for half of what I paid. Here is a link with some pics.  Best thing I did was to add the locking casters. They help move it around.

   This link is for a cabinet I build from plans in a router book.  The plan and the book are worth your consideration.  One of the design characteristics I liked were the use of the lower area to house a full extension drawer where I keep my other routers and larger accessories.  I also modified to increase the overall height for better ergonomics.  One other consideration: experiment with the air flow through the router housing area to get adequate and smooth air flow.  This will facilitate dust and chip removal as well as insuring that the router has sufficient cooling.  On mine I determine the amount of through air need and then incorporated two open area in the bottom of the stained glass door panel.
