Selecting wood is an important component for building a table. You want to choose durable, good quality wood. The better the materials the more sturdy the table. You want to create a table that will last for years to come.

Plans vary, but in general the base of the table is built first. Be sure the legs are cut the exact same size and the cuts are square. You want to be sure the table will stand well without wobbling.

Once the pieces are cut, you will want to sand all surfaces to be completely smooth. Use a planer or belt sander to be sure the surfaces are smooth. The supports for the sides and back are built next, followed by the table top.

For the top, you will use hardwood or plywood and then cover this with a laminate. If you plan to use plywood, be sure to choose a furniture grade material. These are heavier and stronger than the typical particleboard.

To make the building process easier, you can buy a table top that is ready made for the router table. These feature high pressure laminate, channel guides and miter gauges.
