make a router lathe |
| This book contains lots of helpful information and plans for making jigs and using your router as a superior workshop MULTI-TOOL.. The last "jig" in this book is by far the most creative use of a router I have seen so far. Its a router lathe built with bicycle parts, that turns your router into a "mini" turning machine capable of handling any length of stock and creating beautiful spiral designs. I don't know much about turning, but I do know machines capable of creating spirals are either extremely expensive, or are moderately priced ($300) and cheap, with far less options as the homebuilt version. |

Good for ideas only. |
| I got this book a few years ago and got some great ideas from it. I did find that there are a lot of steps missing to get from point A to point B. I found measurements that were incorrect and very fustrating. I have been a woodworker for over 15 years so I know how to "measure twice, cut once" but with this book, you're on your own. Another thing I found frustrating is let's say you want to build a router table. Well to cut the dados they refer you to a fence earlier in the book. To make that fence, you need the router table. Poorly organized. Check out Pat Warner's books instead. |

Very good router table plans, and jigs! |
| The router table plans are worth the price of admission. Simple design, instructions and operation. And, just to show us all that no one's perfect, he included a photograph of some "pot metal" he broke while tapping an existing hole in a router base. The technique for assembling the router table also serves as an excellent instrucional guide on how to build a counter top and apply and properly trim laminate. It won't make you an expert overnight, but when you're done with the router table, you'll feel more confident about building and laminating countertops. Lot's of other small gems throughout the book. Highly recommend to beginners and intermediate woodworkers. |
