I was trying to decide on whether to build a dedicated router table or to attach my router to my workbench which I already installed T track on. The only reason I was going to build one was because my table is about an inch thick and I thought that meant I would be sacrificing an inch in depth. I notice your router table is pretty thick as well. What is your suggestion and why?
Anyone else remember when TLC - you know, The LEARNING Channel? - used to show content like this? Where we actually LEARNED things? Thank you KM for giving us what we want and not what RUclips wants us to want! 👍
Honestly, may have been one of the best videos that I have ever watched on RUclips. Straight forward sharing of knowledge. Thank you! I look forward to more of the No BS series!
thanks for a video that isn't condescending. I am starting my journey with a router and I have learned more from you in 15 mins. than I have with any other video....thank!
A point worth noting; never bottom out a bit when putting it in the router collet. That allows heat to transfer up to the motor arbor. That is what burns the motor out. That was explained to me by a tool repairman years ago.
God bless you for offering a video series designed for someone at the very beginning of their woodworking journey! I can not tell you how much time I have spent in tears because I couldn't find a "kindergarten" video on a specific tool or process. I have a planer, miter saw, band saw, table saw, router, drill press, etc.. So far, the only thing I have perfected is wasting wood trying to figure out how to use each tool. Please keep these videos coming!
I love the idea of the no BS series. I’ll watch them all. I used to do woodworking for a living right after high school. Did that to pay for college. Then I was off for several years because I didn’t have the money. When my job caught up in wages I started collecting tools and doing woodworking as a hobby. All this spans 40 years. Reason for all this back info is even us old guys that been doing this for a while can learn something. You do this every day and have access to a larger variety of tools and other pro woodworkers. That means the time it takes you to gain experience and wisdom is shorter than it’ll take me, a weekend warrior. All that to say thanks, I love it.
I have missed content like this!!! Just the info, none of the extra fluff! I’ve got the attention span of a squirrel, so for me, this is the easiest form to follow. When there’s a lot of “coming up next” or teasers, it muddies up the waters and gets me lost. Love it! Thanks!
Thank you, thank you, thank you! It’s fantastic that you’re doing this no BS no sponsorship series because it’s very difficult for a newcomer to go through all of the Content out there looking for the gems, and this looks like it’s going to be one of them. Solid information that can immediately be put to use. You asked, so here is my wish list for the next things to cover. 14 inch bandsaw, tablesaws and dust collection for small workshops on a budget.
Great video. I like the "No BS" moniker. You covered all the essentials well. I'd like to see some in depth videos on EACH of the essentials you went over. For instance: I found this video because I'm looking to use my brand new palm router for the very first time to install a new interior door. So a video of what type of bit to use for routing hinge locations and latch plates, etc. would be something I would love to see.
Such a amazing awesome guy and channel. Hi John ! from Draytonvalley Alberta Canada 🇨🇦 No bs Tremendously informative content. Finally getting confidence with wood working thanks to you brother. Cheers. Precision marking changed the game also. Peace be with you
Great video. YT is full of junk and "sponsored" content that are more commercials than anything else. Your content is second to none in useful info. Routers are so handy I own 4 LOL... a corded palm for light work (with fixed & plunge and it fits into a small trim table I have), a cheap Ryobi 18V palm and a couple mid-sized with one in my large router table and the other with fixed & plunge for jobs the palm can't do. Some day I'll upgrade the router table motor to a 3+ HP. The Ryobi lives with a 1/4" round over or chamfer bit for easing edges... does a great job at that single task. Cheap, light and useful.
Dude, you the man! I'm not a carpenter by trade.....more like a "Jack-of-all-trades!" I appreciate being able to turn to "no-BS" instruction to help me in the workshop! Thanks for sharing! It just goes to show that old dogs can learn new tricks....I'll be the big 7-0 next month. Built a new porch/deck this past Summer. Time to move on to Winter projects....a park bench with red oak boards, then cabinet doors for a built-in cabinet I put in the space left by a home furnace....then, the key project....I've got to finish a Murphy Bed I had to put on-hold for a bit. Thanks for the help and advice!
Thank you Jonathan! I've been so intimidated by the router for so long. I think now I'm well armed to begin to tackle this amazing tool. I need to build a full-size router table and get a dedicated router for it. Pattern routing opens up SO many projects! I love this series. Please keep making these. Maybe you could do a no BS on hand saws? I know you carry a line of Japanese pull saws. I'm not so convinced those are the best for the new woodworker. I think the handle style common to western saws allows for better control. That is, obviously, just my opinion. I'd love to see a "no BS" explanation of hand saws. :)
Great 'No BS' video. As a beginner in the shop, it's awesome to see experienced professionals passing on their knowledge to people getting started like me. I haven't used a router yet, but it's next on my list of tools to buy and this information will be invaluable. Thank you for sharing.
Mad respect. Laying everything straight right at the beginning should be how it is done. I've just started wood working (3 months) and I'm TERRIBLE so I've watched more than a few... questionable videos. Thank you for giving no BS
This was fantastic! I’ll be waiting for the next No BS video. I wish these were more popular! Definitely a great learning experience. Thanks Jonathan for making these!
If only someone would've explained this to me years ago, simple, straight and to the point...no bs! Excellent job KM please continue to create videos like these for beginners and the next generation of woodworkers.
OMG - so THAT'S what the arrow is for on the base! That is so incredibly helpful (and about the straight bits and depths) because I have a bunch of work to do this weekend. TYSM!
I've always been a bit cautious when thinking about approaching routers but this video helped A LOT! I'm sure I'll be watching this a few times as I look at purchasing my first router!
Wow, was this video packed with useful information! I would love to see something about work holding for those of us who don't have a fancy workbench with an expensive vise and T-track system. I spend a lot of time trying to figure out how to secure my work (or applying band-aids when I don't).
This format is great! I appreciate the organized presentation and feel it was presented in “bullet point” items, which works for me. I like to get straightforward info and then if there are items I want more info on, I can research on my own. Thanks.
Thanks John that's very educational 😊DIY has still not touched our Shores fully so these routers are very expensive and so are the other wood working tools ..
Luv the format, luv the lduration, great content...you got yourself a sub. Wish more chanel would realise that some of us are here to learn not just get entertained.
No BS is just that. Great quick presentation easily followed. As an instructor at Rockler it gave me ideas for my two styles of router classes. Both will follow the no BS standard, with a little humor mixed in. As always you are one of the best in the industry. Stop by and visit if you're ever in Kennesaw GA.
Even after having routed a bunch of material, still learned something new. Thanks! Also, audio quality has been great these last few videos. Keep it up!
As someone who's got some tools and is just looking to get into woodworking, I love the idea of the No BS series. Please keep it up, this was greatly informative and showed me just how badly I was using a router last year (oops). I'll be better in the future!
Fantastic video, exactly what I was looking for as a novice woodworker that's never used a router but would like to buy one. Thank you for this, keep them coming!
Jonathan, this was my first time watching any of your videos. My friend, you did not waste a breath. There was so much info in this video, production value was high (Those slow-mo shots! Whoa!), and it's clear you really know your stuff. Liked, and subscribed; I'll be back. Keep up the good work.
Until now, I thought a router is what made my internet work! Seriously though, great video and very informative to one who is getting back to woodworking and realizing there is so much to learn/relearn Thanks!
Thank you Jonathan for creating high quality content! So many of the other channels turned into infomercials in recent years ("10 tools I didn't know I needed", "5 mistakes woodworkers make", etc.)
Here, here to the "No B.S." series! Probably highlights the real role that YT can play regarding actual education, not just somewhat educational entertainment. Me, I'm a medium-skilled woodworker and I still learned stuff. Mostly I've used a router for roundovers or chamfers. Now I know the difference between down- and up-spiraled, combo bits, etc. The no-sponsor aspect lends credibility. My favorite line: "actionable intel"! One more example of how things spill over from the military world into strictly civilian parlance!
I love the No BS series. I'd enjoy seeing more info regarding using the router in a table (like your portable table) where you move the workpiece rather than clamping the work and moving the router. But that's just me. Keep up the great work !
Jonathan, keep this... really. The amount of information in this video is staggering, all of it actionable. Timely as well (on a personal note) since I'm beginning this journey and moving into a more advanced use of the router. Specifically the bits guide is going to be *extremely* useful.
I love this format and I loved the age when videos were 10-20 minutes on youtube. I just don't feel like investing 30-60 minutes in a video, I've got stuff to do in my life and I can regularly spare 15 minutes.
Jonathan...it just occurred to me that the trick where you use your pointed thumb and wrapped fingers to determine router bit direction will only work if you use your RIGHT hand. It is so common...and so commonly demonstrated. Everybody demonstrating this (quite effective, actually) method uses their right hand and I have certainly done that and taken for granted that you use your right hand. BUT...I have never seen or heard anyone specify this works only with your right hand! I would hate to hear that someone ruined a valuable piece of wood because they tried this trick left-handed, and then watched their router fly out of their hands and boogie across the shop like an airborne version of belt sander racing. I love your channel...love the info you impart. Appreciate how you cut to the chase. Thank you for your time and effort!
Great video! You weren't trying to sell me something! Just an honest, no BS, expert opinion. I can learn from you, thank you. Air filtration would be nice to see. I'm trying to decide the best way (and the best way for my budget) to go. Thanks again!!!!
How about a jigs (sleds, templates, one off jigs, versatile jigs, etc..) episode? I’m thinking mostly table saw jigs, but add in some creative jigs that most of us don’t see very often.
Great video no bs! I am not a rookie but still learned something, thx. Too much of the world exists on greed and it was refreshing to gain knowledge without all the commercialization. Don’t be shy to add more real demo’s, it is one thing to hear but nice also to see…. Going to be a winning series🎉

Hoping to order a router table to the UK soon. Any news on the XL Aprons being back in stock?
I was trying to decide on whether to build a dedicated router table or to attach my router to my workbench which I already installed T track on.

I couldn't agree more with this comment.
RUclips has dumbed us all down to the lowest common denominator.
Ive learned another about fatties and hoarders though.
Honestly, may have been one of the best videos that I have ever watched on RUclips. Straight forward sharing of knowledge. Thank you! I look forward to more of the No BS series!
Thank you my friend. I really appreciate it.
thanks for a video that isn't condescending. I am starting my journey with a router and I have learned more from you in 15 mins. than I have with any other video....thank!

OH HELL UES WE WANT TO SEE MORE NO BS! Yes I’m shouting. The quality of delivery, content and media is outstanding and truly appreciated.

Thank you! After 75 years I've learned that much of life is made up of reminders and open to new things. Thank you for both!

Yeah I have an unfair at vantage of the router table and router front hahaha. Love having dedicated router for certain bits.
love the video series
video ideas: hand saws (western and pull saws), chisels, other hand tools
RE the no BS approach: Love it! Keep 'em coming!
Rarely comment and like, however I did so in this case in hopes that it helps.
I will add something that you already know. You did a VERY good job.
big thanks for this!! your BS series is just awesome
Dude, you the man!

Incredibly helpful! Please do more of these get-to-the-point informational videos! I'd love to see one on table saws
Thank you, Content… often revisit posts to refresh memory..
Thank you! This is the exact kind of video-tutorial that I am missing and I love the most.
What a fantastic video! I learned some good things about my routers and bits. Thank you for doing this!
Great work my friend! 👍🏼😃
Could you please cover types of drills and there uses ?
You opened my eyes to a new toll I need . Thank you .
This was great! Definitely want to see more of this series please.
Solid, no BS info. Thank you.
I enjoy the KM shop apron every time I walk into my shop, and the KM stop block often.
Mad respect. Laying everything straight right at the beginning should be how it is done. I've just started wood working (3 months) and I'm TERRIBLE so I've watched more than a few... questionable videos. Thank you for giving no BS
This was fantastic! I’ll be waiting for the next No BS video. I wish these were more popular! Definitely a great learning experience. Thanks Jonathan for making these!
This video caused me to subscribe to your channel. Thanks for the info you give. Very informative.
Awesome series. Thank you!
I'm fixing to try and do my cabinet door . Thanks for the information
Fantastic straight to the point and teaching with no 15 minutes of waffle to start the video keep it up.
Wow! This video was awesome! To the point, specific and NO BS! Loved it!
Awesome video series. I knew about routers,but i definitely learned some stuff 👍
Fantastic video! Yes, please do more. Maybe on the table saw. It's often underestimated, especially by new wood workers.
If only someone would've explained this to me years ago, simple, straight and to the point...no bs!
Excellent job KM please continue to create videos like these for beginners and the next generation of woodworkers.
Wow! I think I learned more about routers in the past few minutes than any other video!
Awesome , informative video!!!👍🏼👍🏼
Excellent video, thank you.
OMG - so THAT'S what the arrow is for on the base! That is so incredibly helpful (and about the straight bits and depths) because I have a bunch of work to do this weekend. TYSM!
I've always been a bit cautious when thinking about approaching routers but this video helped A LOT! I'm sure I'll be watching this a few times as I look at purchasing my first router!
This was an excellent video. I'd love to see more of the No BS series.
More to come!
I need this for EVERY tool
Wow, what informative video and refreshing format. Looking forward to this series continuing. How about a No BS episode on sharpening?
Yeah that’s coming up soon!
Wow, was this video packed with useful information! I would love to see something about work holding for those of us who don't have a fancy workbench with an expensive vise and T-track system. I spend a lot of time trying to figure out how to secure my work (or applying band-aids when I don't).
This format is great! I appreciate the organized presentation and feel it was presented in “bullet point” items, which works for me. I like to get straightforward info and then if there are items I want more info on, I can research on my own. Thanks.
Thanks, Jonathan, excellent video. I look forward to your new NO BS series.
Best router intro ever.
Thanks John that's very educational 😊DIY has still not touched our Shores fully so these routers are very expensive and so are the other wood working tools ..
@Jonathan Katz-Moses Great video and series. Thank you for making these. Just want to point out that this video is Not in the No BS playlist.
Thanks for that!
Great video! Yes to more NO BS videos.
You got it!
So much useful information I had to watch it twice to capture it all!
Luv the format, luv the lduration, great content...you got yourself a sub. Wish more chanel would realise that some of us are here to learn not just get entertained.
Great video, it's about time, so many "woodworkers" do more product selling and sponsors
More to come!
as always, great info. Thanks for sharing!
No BS is just that. Great quick presentation easily followed. As an instructor at Rockler it gave me ideas for my two styles of router classes. Both will follow the no BS standard, with a little humor mixed in. As always you are one of the best in the industry. Stop by and visit if you're ever in Kennesaw GA.
I just love a router...can never stop learning...thank you John ....
Glad you enjoy it!
Even after having routed a bunch of material, still learned something new. Thanks! Also, audio quality has been great these last few videos. Keep it up!
As someone who's got some tools and is just looking to get into woodworking, I love the idea of the No BS series. Please keep it up, this was greatly informative and showed me just how badly I was using a router last year (oops). I'll be better in the future!
Great video! It was really refreshing to watch something that just got stuck in and told you straight and to the point what you needed to know.
A great video, as always.
Fantastic video, exactly what I was looking for as a novice woodworker that's never used a router but would like to buy one. Thank you for this, keep them coming!
Great intro! I finally understand what a router is for and see the possibilities. Thank you for this series
Jonathan, this was my first time watching any of your videos. My friend, you did not waste a breath. There was so much info in this video, production value was high (Those slow-mo shots! Whoa!), and it's clear you really know your stuff. Liked, and subscribed; I'll be back. Keep up the good work.
Until now, I thought a router is what made my internet work! Seriously though, great video and very informative to one who is getting back to woodworking and realizing there is so much to learn/relearn Thanks!
Thank you for this content!
Thank you for this new No BS series!!!
This is coming out at just the right time for me
Looking forward to the rest of the series!
great info, thanks......I always learn something
Thank you Jonathan for creating high quality content! So many of the other channels turned into infomercials in recent years ("10 tools I didn't know I needed", "5 mistakes woodworkers make", etc.)
Excellent overview
Fantastic series! A jointer would make a great no BS video.
Great video. Especially the part that demystified the bits! Would love to see one of these on wood lathes!
I'd love an episode in this series covering measuring and marking basics.
Man. This is absolutely amazing, and I can’t wait for more.
Nice new platform. At some point you should do an episode on router jigs and uses.
Loved your channel already but this makes it even better! Please keep making more No BS videos
Here, here to the "No B.S." series! Probably highlights the real role that YT can play regarding actual education, not just somewhat educational entertainment. Me, I'm a medium-skilled woodworker and I still learned stuff. Mostly I've used a router for roundovers or chamfers. Now I know the difference between down- and up-spiraled, combo bits, etc. The no-sponsor aspect lends credibility. My favorite line: "actionable intel"! One more example of how things spill over from the military world into strictly civilian parlance!
I love the No BS series. I'd enjoy seeing more info regarding using the router in a table (like your portable table) where you move the workpiece rather than clamping the work and moving the router. But that's just me. Keep up the great work !
Great series, great info. Wish you covered the flat side of the base. 😜
very informative thanks a lot
Best video I have seen on router. Much appreciated. Sub’d
Jonathan, keep this... really. The amount of information in this video is staggering, all of it actionable. Timely as well (on a personal note) since I'm beginning this journey and moving into a more advanced use of the router. Specifically the bits guide is going to be *extremely* useful.
So stoked to see a new video!! Just bought my first router a few days ago. Needless to say, you came clutch with this one. Thanks for all you do
Glad I could help! They’re so great
I love this format and I loved the age when videos were 10-20 minutes on youtube. I just don't feel like investing 30-60 minutes in a video, I've got stuff to do in my life and I can regularly spare 15 minutes.

I love your channel...love the info you impart. Appreciate how you cut to the chase. Thank you for your time and effort!
Thank you! This is great. Used my new palm router earlier today and this would’ve been helpful then. I please keep,these coming.
Thanks. Just got my first compact router yesterday and that was very helpful.
Great video! You weren't trying to sell me something! Just an honest, no BS, expert opinion. I can learn from you, thank you. Air filtration would be nice to see. I'm trying to decide the best way (and the best way for my budget) to go. Thanks again!!!!
Those Wen blowers are cheap and move a lot of air. I have one. Cheers
Thanks for the tutorial. 👍👍
No problem 👍
Thank you Jonathan! Your Videos are always very well explained.
How about a jigs (sleds, templates, one off jigs, versatile jigs, etc..) episode? I’m thinking mostly table saw jigs, but add in some creative jigs that most of us don’t see very often.
Great video no bs! I am not a rookie but still learned something, thx. Too much of the world exists on greed and it was refreshing to gain knowledge without all the commercialization. Don’t be shy to add more real demo’s, it is one thing to hear but nice also to see…. Going to be a winning series🎉
Thank Jonathan for the awesome worthwhile content. So refreshing to learn subjects in a clear and concise manner. Very much appreciated 👍.
Wow, great video.
