I doubt that, like me, Bj hasn't turned out many recent projects.

The best advice that I can give a newcomer to routing is, learn to use the router mounted, this can be as simple as a board held in a vice, with the router firmly attached and a simple fence held with clamps, and when he/she feels competant and confident in it's use and is familiar with all aspects of safety, THEN, and only then proceed to learn how to use the router hand held. This is MY opinion, and may or may not coincide with that of the forum management, but is based on a lifetime of woodworking.

This 'Sticky' has been up for some time and I often wonder if it has been downloaded and more importantly the information used.

I am new but I want you to know that I for one have downloaded the pdf file, read and reread it.

It is great of you and the others to help new users learn the use and safety of a power tool such as this.

I am fond of my fingers!

Thanks guys!

Just a reminder if you do think it too difficult to use consider I teach the blind to use this method. I construct all the Jigs and Templates of course.

Let me know what you think of the method

I can't go to Router Forums and not learn something, your "Introduction" is a beautiful example, acopy hangs in my shop to remind me and to prompt me to the many uses. Thanks again, Frank Lee

I have been following this thread for a while as well as a few others about template routing. I haven't attempted it yet but I do know some upcoming projects are going to require it. I am sure there will be a lot of "scrap" practice before I attempt anything serious. Tom your posts are always very helpful. Thanks!

Default oval and heart shaped jigs
Report Post Report This Post!

new here, hello everyone


i have oval and heart shaped peices of marble from an etching company, need to make a jig for the marble to insert into the oak frame, been a woodworker for 25 years and this ones tricky, the easyest way i can come up with is the 1/4 bit with the bushing following the template?

am i on the right track?

thanks
