Wood Routers Videos

Recently I noticed that many of the plans on my site require extensive use of wood routers for their construction. Using a router to cut and shape wood is an invaluable skill. Once you begin to unlock the potential of this extremely versatile tool, you'll wonder how you ever built anything without it.

I would like to provide my readers with some learning opportunities as well as the plans themselves. So I went on a search for more woodworking videos that would help you improve your skills or perhaps open the door to something you didn't even know was possible.

Here are the results of my search. There are several videos that demonstrate many of the techniques for using a router that are described throughout the site.

As with my other video page, please note that I have tried to avoid posting videos in a way that would infringe on someone's copyrights. If you see a video here that belongs to you and would like it removed, please let me know.
