Hi folks. Brian from Ontario here. Not much of a woodworker up to this point, most(all?) of what I've built so far is functional, but it could never be described as pretty so I bought a used router/table to try to change that. It's a Craftsman with a 1/4" shank.. and from what I've read so far, all the REAL routing is done with a 1/2" shank, but this will do for now.

Bob and Rick, my brother turned me on to your show with a couple of tapes he made back when you were first getting started. Most informative.

Take care
Brian

Hey Brian. Welcome to the RouterForums.

 

[BobandRick]

Welcome to routerforums.com Brian. Look forward to discussing routers with you.

Thanks for the welcomes guys. I've been reading thru the posts as time permits... I can see a lot of help here for a newbie such as I.

But.. now I have to whine... and it has nothing to do with the forum.

Apparently, there is a problem with the PBS station in my area and there is currently no broadcast availalbe. <sigh> Oh well, I can always catch the show next week.

First WELCOME!

Second, I had a Sear router as my first router back in the mid 70's it has served me well and I still use it. I made many a project with it and while the 1/2" might be in your future learning and using the router you have is more importain then that issue.
