Thread: Routing tutorials for beginners

Thanks Harry, love what your doing here.

Thank you Scott, I aim my threads squarely at newcomers to routing, many who have never even unpacked their first router and many who have only ever used a router table. most of these threads end up with a useful object, like this cuff-link box. What's that I hear you say, who wears cuff-links these days, well a friend of mine does for his many business meetings and his wife asked if I would make such a box as a birthday present a few years ago.

Quick question... In photo 2 you have a coffee cup on the right hand side of the table. Does the coffee cup have to be ceramic or will a take away cup do? ;O) Only kidding good write up.

Take away cups aren't guaranteed to be perfectly round and so are not suitable for drawing around for circles/radii!.

Who's being the joker now?

Nice work Harry and very instructive. There will be a few copies of that saved I reckon.

Thank you for such kind remarks. I was thinking of posting the four part series about a week apart, depending if there is interest in such threads.

Looking forward to the next instalment. As a complete novice I wouldn't have even thought about using a router to do things like this. I'm really enjoying exploring this forum.

As promised Cray, I've just posted part two.

I have just joined this site and find it really informative - can't wait to learn more.
