Hi all, my son is at a welding course at college and has to have a project to make so I suggested he make me a simple router table, has anyone here any ideas for a plan or something that could get him started?

First off, I wouldn't make a router table from anything but wood. Next, you obviously haven't done any searching. Loads of metalworking sites out there, with loads of plans - free plans - even more if you want to pay. Hell, if you want him weld something up for you, have him make you a trailer to haul wood with - this is a woodworking newsgroup.
If nothing else, he can just weld a batch of scrap together, and call it art. Lots of people doing that, and some asking high bucks for it. A few even get paid high bucks. As far as I've seen tho, I wouldn't pay anything more than scrap value for 99.999999% of it.

There's a nifty mailbox I saw somewhere that someone had made by welding together assorted car bits. It was a sort of man/car hybrid looking thing with the mailbox in its belly. I'd pay more than scrap value for that thing if I could get someone to haul it over here. Let's see you little punk bastards run over THIS sucker!
All thanks to Edwin.... ; )

That's when they start breaking out the M-80's or filling the indestructible box with dead gophers or eggs. DAMHIKT.

Gack. Well, at least it wasn't dead skunks.
Some teenage demolition experts offed the neighbors mailbox with a plastic coke bottle containing dry ice and a little water. Apparently, quickly screwing on the cap, sliding the bottle into the mailbox, closing the mailbox door is the current technique. I thought the neighbors HW heater had blown up by the sound of the explosion. The mailbox door came across the street and bounced off my house, and the dismembered mailbox body took about 30 seconds to come back down.

This occurred several years ago, and it was the police who explained the means of destruction and hinted that they knew the culprits. Never did hear of any action being taken, but from the sound and destruction, someone could have definitely been injured or killed if in the wrong spot at the right time.

Get the timing wrong and blow your hand to smithereens. Not so cool.

Since you had to go and get all practical and stuff, I guess not.
My first job, some 45 years ago, was selling sweets and ice creams on the Manly Ferry (Sydney, Australia). A favourite occupation, when things were quiet, was to put a little dry ice and water into a glass bottle and chuck them overboard. Made a nice little explosion - but of course I was only 13 then. A very dangerous practice if done on dry land.

Didn't start off as a question for a router table ???
