    Thanks for the tip! It’s good to know just how to get clean cut on the edges showing. I wouldn’t have thought of that until I had messed up a piece or two learning on my own. Thanks.

    Thanks. Now I don’t have to go back and sand the inside edges on my picture frames. I’ve always blamed my router bits for the tear out.

    Well I must have been lucky or blind, not to notice tear-out before but know I know how to avoid in visible corners. Does cutting into or against the grain make much difference working on a router table?

    Thank you for the rabbeting lesson. I am going to be making some shadow boxes and this info will come in handy. I am having trouble logging in. Please email me my user name and password. The site won’t accept what I believed was my information.
    Thank you again,

    I’ve been receiving your tips from 2003 and I look forward to each and everyone, and when my computer crashed a few years back and I had thought I lost you, your people were really helpful restoring the connection. I subcribe to no other sites of any kind. Your router instructions are clear and easy to follow and they definitely need to be for this newfie.

    A few years back I built my own router table but one thing I did was I hinged the top at the back so that I can swing up the top which makes the router easily accessible. It’s also enclosed with a door in front and a hole in the back to acccept a vacuum hose.

    Thank you and I wish your and your crew a Merry Christmas and a successful New Year.

    I’ve used the router for years and the information in your video was simply stated and easy to understand. I enjoyed watching it.
