I like the re-use of material that is so commonly available. I kept the cutout from our fake marble sink to use as a poor-man's surface table.
In the meantime, Richard, have you tried adding mass to your current table using sandbags (I love ziplock bags for this kind of work!) just to see what happens? Have you tried to stiffen the legs and the table-to-leg joints? Perhaps I should back up and ask, when you say "it dances around" do you mean the whole table or just the superstructure that supports the router (or whatever), or something else?
