      Jointed as in joint-able? Didn't understand that part at all.

    I met Jim Heavey at a woodworking show several years ago. He is as nice in person as he is in this video and probably one of the best instructors ever. His enthusiasm and positive approach make him a gift to the profession.

    Jim thanks so much for this video! This is one of the few power tools my dad left for me in his passing. I haven't figured out how it works and haven't quite had the courage to use a router yet so this will be nice to incorporate into my woodworking.

  • @drampadreg1386
    @drampadreg1386 6 лет назад +1

    I love these videos, well done and easy to follow so thanks for that. How about a video with instructions for making a magazine rack and folding table for the wood workers wash room? You'd be surprised how many plans are completed in the wash room or orifice office as I like to call it. The folding table would attach to the wall opposite to the toilet and have storage for pencils and a small square etc. That's where I keep most of my wood working magazines, I've committed many plans to memory in there. I went to the web page to see the router table plans, it's cheaper to buy the back issue with the plans than the plans alone! The magazine will have more to keep me busy so I'll go with that and save a couple bucks in the process!

    I've been welding and fabricating for over 35 years. I've been working with and building with wood almost as long. No matter what tool I'm using, I have the upmost respect for each one. I bought a Ryobi router about 20 years ago and tried using it one time, however it scared me a little, and being respectful of all of my tools, I never used it again. I'm planning on getting into building various projects using both metal and wood. My question is:
    " Would it be better and/or easier for me to use a router table for my projects, or should I learn how to use a handheld router? Great video 👍👍. Consider me a subscriber.

If I knew you could do all this will allow router table I would have saved a lot of $ on other tools I bought. Do you have a video on how to know what to adjust you router and router table to when working on pieces, or is it mostly trail and error?
