Welcome to Router Ready…

I am toying with the idea of creating a series of lessons on how to use the router. My idea is to first extract one to fifteen basic lessons from the Router Workshop library of video.  Next to that I will add commentary to introduce each of the lessons plus identify and add an assignment used to complete the lesson.

Outline will be as follows:

1) Direction of feed,
2) The art of scoring,
3) In’s and out’s of the linear dovetail joint,
4) The rabbet and ship-lap joint,
5) Making the base for the box,
6) Box joint basics,
7) Bottoms for Box Joints,
Rabbet/Dado Joint,
9) Angled Box Joints,
10) Angled Dovetail Joints,
11) Making Stool Leg Joints,
12) Making the Raised Panel,
13) Pattern Work with the Router,
14) Creating a Shelf,
15) Making Simple Drawers.

As you notice the 15 lessons complete most of all the needed lessons to the many uses of the router, from direction of feed to how to make raised panels, from the simple rabbet joint to the complex angled dovetail joint, and pattern work to the art of making drawers. Once you have completed each of these lessons you will be well versed in the many uses of the router to create well crafted projects.

The series of lessons will come in two formats.

Format One:

Is the three elements in a self contained PDF video. Element 1, the Introduction, Element 2, the Video and Element 3 the assignment. Cost of this PDF with the 15 lessons is going to be $47.00.

Format Two:

Is to add to Format 1 an email coaching support, which is having access to my personal email address. This email access will be used to help you through the series of lessons. You can ask any questions via email related to the series of lessons and you can do this at your own pace, cost is going to be $47.00 for the PDF lessons and $100.00 per month for the email coaching.

In the sample lesson there are no assignments and I have not set up routerready dot com as of yet. The sample assignment will be like the router bit change and set up challenge.

All videos and assignments are used to help you along with the many uses of the router. If you are a beginner and think that I would be able to help you along the learning process then comment within this post and I will add you to the list of interested router enthusiasts. I will not be post any of the comments within this post…
