Router Table Storage

I was looking for some extra storage in the shop when I came up with this use for the open space between the legs of my router table. After making a frame to span the gap, I screwed a piece of pegboard across the bottom, keeping items securely inside. The “door” on this little cabinet is a key-holed panel of pegboard. The key holes allow the panel to easily slide on and off when I need something from inside, and the pegboard itself allows me some vertical storage too. You can see the dimensions I used below, but to make your own just match it to the dimensions of your router table. Adding a slot to the holes in the pegboard allows you to hook the panel to the top frame. Using L-hooks with the pegboard panel allows plenty of hanging storage for items like wrenches and router table inserts.
