You're the BEST teacher EVER. So extremely articulate. So extremely concise. You teach more in depth, useful skills than all other woodworkers I have seen - in such a short vid to boot! Your tutorials DEFINITELY provide confidence in my abilities.
Good on ya, Uncle Knackers. And I thank you with a grateful heart.
G'day Lioness..thanks for the feedback.....l really appreciate the comment and thanks for taking the time to watch. Cheers 👍😁🇦🇺
As a 20+ yr router user, I can say that you have opened up a new world to wood workers. One of the best introductry videos on routers..
Thank you very much mate! Really appreciate the comment 👍 Cheers 👍😁🇦🇺
British have the best plugs, like to see someone bend the pins on ours
Ours are made from plasticine mate 😂
Lol 😆 true....👍
A trick for bent plug blades... Buy some cheap wall outlets. Here in the USA they can be found for $1-1.25 for a double plug. Then take your cut off wheel and make single plugs out of them and clean up the sharp edges. Now you can cover your blades safely while in storage for less than $0.75 each.
But British plugs also have a huge design flaw, they land pins up just waiting to be stood on!
@@paulmclark lol 🤦♂️
You deserve a cup of tea after that extensive beginners guide
👍👍...Thanks Harki!
Am I the only one that sees the thumbnail?
🤔.....I don't think so mate 😂
I did . . . Then he ate it!
I came here to see if anyone made the comment 😂
We've all agreed not to talk about that image.
@@thenomad9853 😂
Great advice and tips for anyone starting out with routers.😉👍🏽
Those anti slip mats are awesome for many uses in the workshop,
but can lose their grip when the get too dusty, if this happens just wash them in warm soapy water,
rinse thoroughly and it'll be as good as new.
Thanks Bill and l agree with everything you said about those mats....love 'em but you do need to keep them as dust free as possible 👍 Have a good one mate 👍😁🇦🇺
Great video, as a 60+ guy I am getting more and more into woodworking as a hobbie and it seems every time I think I need a new tool you show a tutorial on it, has been tremendously helpful, keep up the great work , always look forward to the next one, from New Zealand
G'day John...glad l could help mate and thanks for watching from across the ditch 👍😁🇦🇺
FANTASTIC!! THANK YOU!
Cheers.....Thanks for watching! 👍😁🇦🇺
Best router video out there to prep for my first DYI routing job, bar none, thanks so much.
No worries at all Chris! Glad you found it useful mate and thanks for taking the time to watch 😁🇦🇺👍
As a beginner, this has been wonderful and saved me some worry too. Thank you from me here in the UK, top channel 👍👍👍
👍😁...No worries at all mate! Glad l could be of some assistance 👍😁🇦🇺
You bloody legend Uncle Knackers! Keep 'em comin'!

Congrats on reaching 250K mate!
Cheers mate! Took a little while but got there in the end 👍😁🇦🇺🇦🇺
Thanks Uncle Knackers, great video!!!
Thanks Matt! Glad you found it useful mate 👍😁🇦🇺
Just love this video and your tutorials generally. So clearly explained and a joy to listen to. Thank you!
Thank you so much Jacqueline! 😁😁 I really appreciate you taking the time out of your day to watch...Cheers 👍😁🇦🇺
Love your videos! I’m new to woodworking and think your beginner videos are awesome for building confidence! I’m looking to get a router soon, but the different bits confuse the heck out of me. Would love to see a follow up video about different bit types and uses!
👍....Thanks mate! Glad you like the vids. I may do a video on that but we will just have to wait and see. Cheers 👍😁🇦🇺
Lovely!
Biggest Thanks for your time!
No worries at all Thien! Thanks for watching 👍😁🇦🇺
*One of my favorite woodworking tools **MyBest.Tools** Light and easy to maneuver. Noise level is a lot better than others I have tried. No cord makes it easy to grab and use. The clear base plate makes it easy to see ahead of what you are cutting. The electric brake is awesome. Glad to have this in my tool collection.*
👍
Crazy amount of growth since I first saw a video of yours years ago. Congrats on your success.
👍😁😁....Cheers mate!....Really appreciate your comment 👍😁🇦🇺
I always use safe router practices. Always plugged in and turned to the on position when changing bits
Brilliant video! So very useful to me as I can now open the box and get the scary router out!! I discovered quickly that owning and using were rather different!
On plugs, in the UK our 3 pins are stronger and would take some bending!
A B I G thank you for the time and effort you spent with me on the fixture issue, you proved yourself to be a good man who would give so willingly and pleasantly over such a small matter with neither fame nor fortune on offer. Thank You!!!

My pleasure Bob...glad to help mate! Thanks for watching the video as well and do yourself a favour and crank up that router as they really are an awesome little machine 👍👍 Your plugs outdo ours by a long shot....it's not uncommon to break one of the blades off which is some what annoying 👍😁🇦🇺

G’day Uncle Knackers! Great timing - my husband bought me a router a few years ago but only he has used it so far! I need to get some practise in before I’m let loose with it in my new shed! Thanks for the video! Kind regards from Penny in Liverpool 🇬🇧😊
Hi Penny 👍 Make sure you do have a go as they really are a great little tool. Would have to be in my Top 10 of tools to buy 👍 Thanks as always for watching all the way from Liverpool....really appreciate it 👍😁🇦🇺
Great timing?? you got the router a few years ago......how is that great timing? Now l can understand if it was a few day/weeks/months, but years.....what a great husband to get you such a great gift.....what did you get him - a sewing basket?

Have to say, the router is the scariest tool I own. Had one for ten years and never used it as too scary. Gave it away and a week later had to buy a new one for a one-off project. Hopefully after your tutorial it might see the light of day more ofter Thanks Uncle Quackers!

British plugs FTW!!!
Mate, all that chat about safety, unplug etc and at 7:20 when you demo changing the bit you've got the battery in!
😂....Sshhhh. The saving grace is that it's a two step switch Col 😊

Great content mate, I just subscribed. Plenty of very good tips and professionalism, but with a charming touch. Greetings from Italy.
Thank you very much Donnie! Appreciated the sub too mate 👍😁🇦🇺
Shane, Excellent as usual. I own
both size routers but haven’t tried them. This video makes them seem less intimidating. I will practice on scrap pieces before
the project wood. I’ve watched this lesson multiple times and will watch it again before I begin.
Your style of instruction is the absolute best I have seen.
Many thanks! …Joe in NJ, USA
Cheers Joe! Thanks for those kind words mate and yes...practice on some scrap first....once you do it a couple of times it becomes a little addictive 😂 Have a good one mate 👍😁🇦🇺
While practicing on small scrap pieces, clamp them down or use a router mat !!!!
Excellent video!
👍😁...Thanks Richard! 👍😁🇦🇺
Thank you for a great instructional video. All the best.
👍👍...No worries at all Mark. Hope the video helped mate and thanks for watching 👍😁🇦🇺

I love your videos, very informative and good as always, blessings!!!
👍😁..Thanks Joan....Appreciate the comment 👍😁
Thank you dad
👍😁
I used to work for a cabinet maker after school as a kid. I saw a bloke hurt himself with a router. They are one of those tools that don't look to dangerous. Not like a circular saw or chainsaw etc.... Which is the very thing that makes them dangerous. They don't stop spinning once turned off for ages if your stuck in the thing.
Good video. Keep up the good work knackers
👍...Couldn't agree more Dan 👍👍 Thanks for watching mate 👍😁🇦🇺
Great video knackers as always and I too use a non slip mat when routing, it's a cheap but a simple way to keep your work gripped without clamps which can get in the way. Look forward to your next video. 👍🏴
👍 Appreciate it Darryl...yeah those non slip mats are pretty good mate....thanks for watching 👍😁
Good on you Knackers ,, You are a real tool man .
Mr Tool thank you very much 😂 Thanks for watching mate 👍🇦🇺😁
I'm no beginner when it comes to routers but I watched this anyway because I just love your vids.

@@diyforknuckleheads yeah 🇨🇮 ! Q: how is the lumber supply there now?
@@erinobrien8408 Probably the same as you guys Erin...pretty dismal 😬
Had me in stitches at 11:48.
GREAT TIP KNACKERS! Should be your ring tone😆
😂😂....Maybe l'll do it Joey 👍😁🇦🇺
Keep up the good work matey I purchased a router a day before your video and you have helped me get started 👍🏻
Awesome! 👍 Good luck with it Joey......it's a great tool 👍 Thanks for watching mate 👍😁🇦🇺
Great tips Knackers. I'm making a planter box today and was thinking of routing an edge on the top just for practice. I'll heed your advice.
👍😁...Awesome! Good luck with it Neil! Thanks for watching mate 👍😁🇦🇺
Changing a bit with the battery installed? KNACKERS!!
😂...Got me P.M. My only saving grace is that it's a two step switch 👍👍
Love this channel! Great teaching and detailed information. Even the bad jokes are good. Thanks for helping out a beginner woodworker!
My pleasure Lee 👍 Only to happy to help. Cheers 👍😁🇦🇺
Agreed. If I could buy a tool for his jokes I would
Great tips Knackerrrrs!

@@diyforknuckleheads we are doing well thanks mate. I hope u are doing well mate
Love your videos as always especially this one. Very helpful indeed. I'm surprised Makita or any other manufacturer have not taken the time to make it easier to change the bit and treat it just the same way you would do with an impact driver or an reciprocating saw; just insert the blade or bit in as it immediately locks into place and then you are good to go....
👍😁...Thanks mate 👍 I think it has to do with stability of the bit. There can be no room for movement at all 🤔
great video, my first router arrives in a few hours and there were a few things on there that I had not thought of, thanks from Scotland
Cheers Dave! Good luck with the new router and thanks for watching 👍😁🇦🇺
You have done it again ! Great entertaining video to be taken very seriously as ones finger can disappear very quickly with a router! Great day Sir all the way from Houston Texas

Only learned the power point / machine on switch the hard way. Even with a square base plate my hand router still spun across the bench. Lesson learned. Gota love the old hard starts. 🐯
That thumbnail though...😂😂😂
