..of all the tools in the shop, my router is the one collecting dust. you see,I've had nothing but bad experiences with it. it has a mind of it's own,it seems to me.. and I screw up practically every board I've ever put it on. I have a shaper, but it's a pain to switch from cutters to bits. some one tell me the secret to that beast, please, as I know it' has many uses. for chamfers, I now use hand planes...and love that, but for Ogees, et.al, hand planes don't cut it. I'm actually intimidated,as wood cost too much to trash...and time too valuable to waste re-making boards. I'm hoping there's guidance out there. Thanks in advance..... Butch

Thanks fellows for the responses... as for DVDs, I've only have Norms'101 dvd... it helped a tad, but hands on is the only way to learn for me. I REALLY would like to be proficient with the router, as I see MANY uses for it...ONCE you become proficient. I will read the Blog(I'm new to Blogs,too) so please bear with me, as I WILL ask a question in a new york minute!! I was raised around this, but took other avenues of interest with my time... now, you can hear me say..."I wished that I'd had..."
you all the know the story....
Thanks again. Butch
