I am always looking for ways to improve my woodworkign knowledge and the "Routers and Router Tables" book looks like an excellent way of gaining some additional knowledge. While I have been using my router for several years, I'm sure that there are better and perhaps safer ways of doing things than my methods. As a self-taught woodworker, woodworking books and magazines as well as web sites and forums have been the places where I have learned how to do things. This book would be an excellent addition to my collection!

I am a self taught woodworker who is slowly building my skills and tool collection. My wife and I have completely remodeled our 1912 Bungalow restoring the trim and wood work to its original state and beauty. As I have milled the trim from salvaged lumber I have had to utilize planers, jointers and routers tables from friends and family. As I move forward with other projects I see that a router table for my router will be my next purchase. I want to build my router table and learn some new techniques. I think this book wood be an excellent start.

I'd like to build a router table, and want a better understanding of the features and mechanics that I should incorporate into my design. This book should help.

Walter Peachey writes:

As a career cabinetmaker, I live by what I learned from one of my instructors - that being "never stop listening, never stop learning".  Having this book would be an asset to my knowledge bank and also to the students that I am presently working with as a volunteer in a local high school. Router has been a major part of my career because of the works of Art Betterley and Bob Rosendahl, but there is always more to learn.

First off, good luck to all.  I am a very novice woodworker with still not actually building anything to date.  I have taken a 1-day course with routers and have been reading a lot since.  To just have the basic understanding of how not to hurt myself with this tool and keep all my fingers would be great.  From what has been explained about this book, I would be using it for a variety of things immediately and in the future. I new to buy a router, build a router table and so much more.  This is the ideal book for me as a starter.  Thanks for the chance to be entered to win.

I'm a professional carpenter and use many of my routers on a daily basis. You can get over complacent about safety which can laed to a nasty surprise. Over the years I have repeatedly never unplugged my router to change bits, that is until one day, the router slipped when I was tightening a canoe bit and needless to say, 68 stitches later by a plastic surgeon over a 4 hour period, I learn't a valuable lesson.

Unplug your router at all times when changing bits or anytime the router is out of the router table.

Nuff Said!!!!

I have used my router off and on for a few years but I still need some"pointers". Sometimes my projects take a lot longer than they should due to my inexperience in router set-up. I'd like to build my brother-in-law a tool chest as a thank you for his help getting me involved in woodworking and for all the times he's helped me with my projects. This book will help me use my router more efficiently and build an overall better chest.

I would very much like to have a book like this so I can learn how to use and set up a router table as I am just getting started into wood working and have had a great desire to do wood working for years.  Now that I have the time to do this and get a shop set up this would be a great addition.

This looks like the book that I'll use for reference, for all my routing needs. I've also been waiting for a good set of plans to build a router table.Everything I read and learned about routers, bits and jigs and tables is not going to waste.I'm starting to router some rails and stiles for replacing cabinet doors in my home. I'm doing a little box framing, and I'm using dovetails. This is fun. I'm suprised that I didn't take up wood working along time ago. Thanks to all the book and magazine writers who have helped me along the way.
