I made a little down and dirty router table today making some base board trim for my house. I set the router up in the middle of a 8ft work table. With a roller stand on each end I was able to easily manage 16ft boards.

Like it a lot plus great table support. What are you using to hold the feather boards in, are there a few slots in place?

I ended up switching it so the bottom of the board was against the fence. One one of the passes a bit of primer got embedded in the fence and put a groove in the top of the board. 

If the groove is on the bottom it goes against the floor.

 

i just used construction screws and fender washers for the feather boards.
