About

This class has prerequisites. Please see below.

When it comes to woodworking, the router is one of the most versatile machines in the shop, and quite possibly the most confusing and under-utilized. Learn the basics of this wonderful machine and how to best use this tool – both mounted on a router table and controlled by hand.  

We will look at the different sizes of routers and their purpose, the various ways to handle each one, the range of bits for routers, and joinery possible with a router.  A practice project will be constructed within the class to give you practical, hands-on experience.
