There will be a copy of the programme on youtube and somewhere I should have a copy of the plans.
PM me your email address and I'll see if I can find them.

I need to sort out a decent table saw and feed table so i can then start making home made jigs/router table etc to make all these things much easier. I am currently using one of the discount brand table saws which i think is made from tinfoil or a tinfoil cardboard mix.

A car scissor jack also works very well and is cheap.

We wouldn't advance much if we applied such basic logic to everything.
That 'bodge up' arrangement would certainly not suit what I use a router table for.

This was built based on a number of plans and then modified to what was available in the workshop.

As an alternative, but similar plan, I can recommend also the plan from http://www.crestonwood.com/plans.php which is free.
I have built two router tables based on these plans and they worked out very well and I'm completely satisfied with them.
