We hope that you will find inspiration in our ideas and that you will enjoy yourself while creating something new.

DIY Router Table Ideas

1. Simple Boxes

If you own a router table, now is the time to put it to good use. You might be thinking that crafting a box is lame, but it’s not. You can create boxes of all sizes and use them for just about anything. The best thing is that you can create a box for your loved ones, they will find a use for it, and they will appreciate it.

2. Entryway Storage

We have noticed that most of the entryway storages that can be found in shops don’t suit are needs. This is where the woodworking magic comes in. You don’t have to spend money on a huge entryway storage that will use up all of your space – you should build a one!
It is simple, and you can fit anything you want in it – larger compartments for jackets and bags, smaller compartments for shoes. Don’t be afraid to experiment!

3. DVD Blu-ray Wall Cabinet

If you have a large collection of DVDs or Blu-ray discs, then you should consider building a cabinet for them. Building a wall cabinet is an easy task, and is an awesome test of your skills if you are a beginner. You can choose the wood you see fit, and you can also put any finish on it. You can create something unique without worrying that you will spend a lot of time and resources on it.

4. Wooden Toys


Creating wooden toys is a fun and rewarding process. The best part is that you don’t have to complicate the project. Simple can look amazing! Wooden toys are best suited for young children, and they are simple to make with the right set of tools. You can build a simple airplane, car, animals, and even educational toys. The smile you see on a child’s face after you present them with your gift is well-worth the effort.

5. Bed Frame

If you have noticed that your bed frame is ready for retirement, then you should think about making one yourself. You can customize it any way you see fit, and we guarantee that you will enjoy sleeping on it more than you would enjoy sleeping on a bought bed frame. It is very simple to craft, and it won’t take you a long time to finish this fun project.

We hope that you will find some inspiration here and that you will have fun with these awesome DIY woodworking projects. Good luck, and don’t forget to enjoy yourself!
