Making a Router Table But It's For METAL 

That Hammered Finish paint was the perfect choice and really makes it look like it was constructed out of metal.

Uri, you are a perfect example of the phrase, "A craftsman is only limited by his imagination, not by his tools." You are a great craftsman!

I love the hammered finish. It makes it look like a 50+ year old machine tool. Beautiful work!

Man, you make art and engineering blend together effortlessly.

The Polish word for aluminum is glin. Soooo much better! This video really made my day. I needed a laugh, and you provided several. Thank you!

Uri's videos are such a journey, he is in fact, one of the few youtubers that i take time to watch the whole video, out of respect and curiosity for what he is doing. Keep going!

The badge you made for this tool is very nice and a perfect touch. It makes it look like something store bought!

We always just call Aluminium ‘Ali’ for short. As in a Ali plate or a bar of Ali.

I love the mix of the hammer finish, nameplate, and your trademark stylistic flourishes - a "mid-century industrial meets antique artisanal" look that comes together beautifully!

You crack me up. You act like you have no idea what you're doing but then, in the end, you get this masterfully engineered piece of machinery. Always a pleasure to watch! Also the Hammerite was the right choice!

Oh dear that looks so lovely. The hammered finish and the brass details just works brilliantly together.

Cheers for showing your "oops moments". You're helping other craftsmen be more confident about their own little blunders.

That Hammerite tricked my brain again and again. Your creations are a piece of art! And your editing is also a piece of art!

If I walked in someone's shop and saw that sitting on a table, and they told me it was an Atlas or similar brand of smaller machine tools from the ~50's, I'd believe them. Until I had to carry it of course. This is one of my favorite builds you've done.

Another Tuchman masterpiece! Educational, informational AND entertaining. Thank you for sharing it Ari!

Its been like a year since I watched your channel, I just haven’t seen your videos in my feed, but my goodness the video quality and editing, and even your own sense of humor have all developed so much since I last watched. Im blown away by the quality of the things you produce. Hats off 👏🏽

That’s Brilliant Uri, being able to make your own followers for various bits is going to make this super versatile. Cheers, well done.

One of your better mad scientist creations. The hammer finish is perfect setting for the branding. It works!!

Fantastic work on this! Ive been using a palm router in a similar fashion for fine metalwork adjustment for a while now. I think it's time to make it more permanent!

You should probably drill a hole in the top surface to accept a removable dowel, that way you have something to lean small workpieces against and won't be as likely to run a finger into the burr if it grabs.

When I first saw the title I was quite skeptical but I was pleasantly surprised at how amazing these videos are not only in the craftsmanship but the person behind the camera as well!!

"To make a little boxy box." Here in mid-Canada I am equally enjoying your design, work methods and humour.

You are like that one guide on a trip that shows a lot of things that the official tour does not include because he improvised mixed with the teacher that just did whatever they wanted after watching something cool in tv - great channel and I'm glad I found you!

Uri, you were killing me in this one!😂 “my stupid lathe”, the delicious 80’s milling montage, and the diatribe on aluminum/aluminium (maybe call it pseudo-silver??)

Another great video. Thanks for sharing.

I have so much respect for you dude. for whatever reason, this video made me laugh a lot. really good editing and music choice, awesome project and I love the hammered finish, it looks like vintage machinery. looking forward to the next one, Thanks Uri.

Man that thing is just stunning. The vintage machine tool vibe and color. Beautiful. Looks like it works quite well, also. Right on

I use my router for metal (aluminum) quite frequently. It's surprisingly capable, and makes up for my lack of having a mill.

PhotoShop CAD skills are on point 👌🏼

Man, I love your sense of humor so much. I have been a fan or this show for years and it still puts a smile on my face like no other. Thank you Uri, Blessings!!!

Come for the imagination, stay for the surprises, return for the humour. There are few people who can successfully combine vision and execution while still retaining whimsy. Outstanding.

Hammered finish paint is awesome, it's so underappreciated. It was perfect for this to make it look like metal. Only other thing that could work would be a Wrinkle finish paint. But I like the Hammered one a lot. Nice job on this.

That looks great Uri, I love that you made it look like a casting but feel like wood. Always fun to learn with you, and thanks for the bonus nameplate engraving - I always like that bit.

I always forget how hilarious the editing on these videos is on top of being genuinely impressive projects

Another great video. You are just so creative. One little thing. That bit is actually for ferrous metal. For non-ferrous metal, there are special bits. Those don't have a cross pattern but cut sooo much cleaner in brass and ALUMINIUM. I'm actually from the Netherlands and just realised it is spelled the same in dutch.

An incredible machine. It actually looks like cast iron from the 50s. The paint AK 250-90 is top synthetic and dries incredibly long, I think even a week depending on the conditions.

LOVE this video. Now I need one of these ... How do you adjust squareness to the work? In Belgium we just say Alu (with dutch pronunciation of the "u")

Yes, I've found the hammered finish paint to be a real lifesaver when things aren't working out quite as expected. Perhaps the most entertaining of all paint, what with all the bubbling and fizzing after application. It works well in spray cans too.

Amazing as always. I was watching an Ausie motorcycle channel and the guy kept referring to aluminum sheet as just "alloy." It took me a while to figure it out, but he just always said "alloy," and it worked.

This is a really cool and inspiring build. I love that you make what you need with whats on hand. It came out so good, plus that paint is tits.

I was wondering....how do you deal with the metal shavings falling down into the box? And your right the metal finish is beautiful!

That is so cool man! It looks official and works great, love the content you drop and seeing the awesome things you create

Honestly the variety of skills you showed was exceptional, especially the engraving work, I'm so envious.

i suggest "LM" as the new word for aluminium, which stands for "light metal" (and works also in german with "leichtmetall") and also sounds a bit like the actual word...

Using a router table, holding the workpiece in a clamp is a must and more critically important the smaller the piece is.

That control panel is amazing. Simple, functional and beautiful. I need to do better with my own project.

That is awesome - love the it looks and your design seems to be really good. Very nice piece of equipment there!

I didn't realize you could be more entertaining than you had already been. The music and voice effects (reverb, etc.) had me chuckling the entire video.

That's the best box I've ever seen. And I've seen some boxes. On the Aluminium thing, as a chemist, I agree. It should be called "fool's chrome".

I spent the whole painting part of the video trying very very very hard to not yell Hammerite / Hammered finish at my monitor. It was absolutely the right choice.It was super common on older bench tools for decades so it absolutely gives the impression of being a cast tool and not wood.

The paint job is great, so is the nameplate, but what I really love the most about your builds is (drum roll) THE HANDLES! Absolutely sensuous! Thx.

"Alu" is completely acceptable where I live (France)! Love the router, and the video!

My wife isn’t a woodworker- or metal worker - or any sort of practical craftsperson - but she is a big Uri Tuchman fan. She loves watching these videos, apparently they are ‘therapeutic’. I wonder how many other subscribers are here because this is better than yoga or meditation?

I LOVE that you went for a tool restoration type creation. well done Uri.

I love the hammered finish paint texture and even the color of it. Excellent job on this build, and I loved the video! You're the man with the plan, Uri!

Mr. Tuchman, I always love your videos about craftsmanship and making tools and I try to follow the same themes you do when I make my tools, even if I’m not able to be that artistic. Thanks for the inspiration!

I always love seeing you create these amazing things with character. You bring art back to craftsmanship. Plus you're freaking hilarious! Thank you for the wonderful content.

Uri! You are priceless! Such a great craftsman and so creative. You make beautiful things and machines and I enjoy the content just as much as your delightful sense of humor! Keep it up!

this is so so cool! the hammered finish was an excellent touch. looks like it functions as good as it looks.

You are truly a master at what you do !! Thank you for all your videos !!

Thanks Uri for all the poetry you make in your creations.

You're amazingly creative! I love your stuff! Thank you for sharing your journey with the rest of us! Please continue to make cool stuff! 😊

That was a lot of work you put into this video! Love the content and how you do everything. Love it❤️🙏👍

That looks amazing and works even better. The guided burr is a nice touch. I love it! Nice work, thanks for sharing.

Wow great machine looks great!! Super job on this. Love seeing what you will make next always a joy!

Even the hammer tone spray paint works good, I don't know why it's not more popular, it's durable. Great video Uri.

The most enjoyable video of all i have watched this week... thanks so much! A total Craftsman indeed.

I love the hammer finish, Perfect for metal working machines. As for the word choice I would recommend alumiumumimumim, if you can’t please everyone you might as well annoy both sides.

The "fight" music when you try to get that lead screw into the housing for your adjustment mechanism is peak Uri. Please never change. Favorite maker, hands down.

Love the video and your sense of humour. I always enjoy your interesting and creative projects.

Uri, your creations are always works of art, and your videos give me such joy! Thank you for giving us another masterpiece!

Love the Hammerite paint finish, reminds me of all the old equipment from the metalworking shop at school, something about that texture and colour that brings back memories. Neat tool too :)

So smooth. Music so great. Thank You.

I just saw Ryan George go "Whoopsie". Your work and tools are amazing, you rock!

Thanks for coming up every time with nice surprises.

From the thumbnail i honestly thought that it was made of metal. And hammered finish is perfect for this. Loved the makers mark.

Really love the sound track for this build

The blue hammered finish is what caught my eye at first. Vintage cast look to me.

Herr Tuchman, I have thoroughly enjoyed every moment of this build. Your voice-over is very humorous and very relatable. I just had to subscribe.

Your awesome videos make me smile. Thanks!

This is the first video of yours I have seen, the algorithm seems to be working! From the start I was expecting to see this end in a visit to the hospital, but by the end I think you’re whatever the DIY version of ‘Chaotic Good’ is. Subscribed. 👍

Amazing work!! Looks absolutely fantastic.

Uri this is a fun video to watch and the tool came out really cool. Love the 80's music too

I love your sense of humor. Excellent, inspiring work.

Really cool router table! I will definitely keep clamping my router upside-down on my bench...but every time I will proclaim I will build a table for next time now.

Awesome to see you progress in your passions. keep it up. I (a complete stranger) am proud of you.

That's the color of choice from the mid '60s, I had a 48" belt/disc sander with the same color from 1965. Also had a router table lift of somewhat similar design, minus the worm gear.

I love your videos! Entertaining, inspiring, enlightening and humorous. TY..

i love your videos. :D and i love your sense of humour. fantastic stuff as always. thanks Uri!

It looks gorgeous. and works very nicely!

Your creativity is inspirational. The finish is perfect 👍🏻

Looks amazing uri!

I love it and everything else you do here on your channel!! I’ve been watching for many years and I haven’t been bord yet…!!😂🙏🏻❤️👍🏻

Brilliant idea, expertly executed. Just fabulous 👏👏👍😀

Dont forget to clean metal shavings fron inside the box, it will be completely filled with them after a year of use. And maybe protect electronics from shorting by shavings. Great project by the way, you are a true craftsman.

I love your new machine, it's very nicely designed and constructed!

What a beautiful machine. From the internals to the externals. Inspiriting.

Nice work - and a video full of understatement.

They are "Insert nuts" my friend. Who doesn't love the idea of using machine screws in wood? They can be tricky to get into the wood though. That thing you made. So nice!

wonderful workmanship
