    I love the little diagram at the top right corner of the screen , it's very purposeful and not only gives you the picture of the finished product but also helps you follow through the procedure simply
  • @theLEFTY15
    the "where i'm at" addition is bomb. I dig that a ton
  • @momomunsta8887
    That 3D model with the part your working on being highlighted red is next level!
  • I absolutely love the “where am I” graphics for each piece. That’s a great way for everyone to follow along.
  • "Using this router table anywhere" was awesome! I like the budget-friendly simplicity. Your "where I am at" feature is the best on youtube!
  • @sivacrom
    I lolled when you started routing in the woods, near the forest floor.
  • @AKatz17
    I have never subscribed to a woodworking channel faster. That "Where I'm At" feature is BRILLIANT. Can't wait to see more.
  • How does anyone dislike the work this man does is beyond me.🤨
  • I would add two things, something to hold the wrenches for changing the bits and a center reference line for the fence on the top of the table. Other than that, very nice and clean.

    I remember when Glen didn't even have 500k subs. His channel has come such a long way.
  • @rickdodson5252
    Why not pre-cut this project and sell it as a kit. I am sure DIY'ers would pay for it. I know I would. Great video!!! If you're game, let me know I will buy your first kit. I am serious!
  • Hands down the most efficient tabletop router build yet! Loving it, building it!
  • @kevinbourke7800
    Brilliantly explained, demonstrated and edited! Your videos are unparalleled for clarity and effective teaching.
  • @DalyVideo
    When you clamped it to the side of the workbench, that just blew my mind. I need to build this!
  • @pcdm43145
    Never imagined I'd ever say this sentence, but... Damn, that's a sexy router-table. Excellent work, mate.
  • @drdread
    Pro video as always. I loved how you just jumped right into it without the back story at the beginning.
  • @gedofgont1006
    I love it. You clearly demonstrate you don't need to spend thousands to turn out really good quality projects. That Dewalt router is a beautiful bit of kit, too.👍😊
