The votes are in…

Yes the votes are in and it looks like Mr. Bits is the new mascot name.

I have just one little addition to the name and that will be adding the first name.

So for our first mascot the name is going to be Mr. Round Bits and the second mascot is Mr Straight Bits. I have one more mascot coming some time in the New Year.

We are going to have three different mascots that will be included in the making of the 2012 Calendar.

Each new calendar month will have a different mascot each with simple router tips. I am hoping to have the first Calendar done before the New Year.

Video Tips Wanted…

Video Tips Wanted…

Today’s post is about me wanting you to produce a simple router how to tip. These are very easy to make and I have RF member Harry Sin video to show as an example. How the videos are made is first you take a photo for each step of your how to procedure. Then the second part is open the photo on your desktop and open your audio recorder and talk about what is seen on the opened photo. You need to save each of the photos in a numbered sequence P-1, P-2, P-3 etc…then create each of the audio files and number them as follows, A-1, A-2, A-3 etc…We will produce the video here, so we just need the how to photos and audios…

I know I could probably make these myself but I am more interested to getting tips from you the viewer. Mark from Router Forums is going to add each new video tip to a new section on Router Forums…I am looking for very simple how to procedures like, installing a router bit, using the safety pin, direction of feed, using the jointer fence, etc…

You just need a camera and the sound recorder that comes with your windows program. If you are interested please comment in this post. I will not be making these posts public but will use the email feature to contact you about your proposed how to tip.

Thanks in advance,

Rick

Harish a beginner at routing…

Hi folks,

This is Rick Rosendahl and if you are reading this paragraph you are reading a paragraph that has been created by my selected woodworking beginner Harish. Harish has taken up to woodworking due to a change in the economic conditions which cost him his job.

Not only does he feel that he can make a living from woodworking from home but is also enthusiastic about spreading information about how people without jobs or with spare time on their hands can earn an additional income from the comfort of their home with a small investment.

Harish is viewing all the Router Workshop videos, studying the material in detail and then writing about the information he has picked up from a selected video. Looking at the way this man has been going ahead with his job, I feel that his articles can be of interest to those who want to follow his example.

A newcomer to woodworking is putting his education to paper for others to take benefit of which I feel is great. Learning how to use the video library through information that is being provided is a asset. Join this special video series by clicking this link and click the links below to see sample writings. These samples can give you all information you need about the right usage of a router and the many ways you can use it to generate income for yourselves. Don’t miss out on the benefits but start learning today and avail the benefits as many beginners are doing.

Below is a few samples of Harish’s articles on Router Forums.

Would anyone be interested?

Would anyone be interested in the Router Workshop Memorabilia?

I was asked by one of my best supporters about getting a piece of the Router Workshop memorabilia. He was interested in getting one of the jigs or fixtures used on the set of the TV series.

Thanks Doug for your interest…

With further though and talking with Dad, I thought I would make this post asking if anyone else would be interested in owning a piece of the Router Workshop. We were thinking of putting the jigs and fixtures for each specific show up for auction. The purpose of this post is to see if anyone would be interested in owning a piece of the Router Workshop. Here is the link to the episodes (shows)

How it would work is you would bid on each specific show in the form below. To be on this list you need to opt-in to the email list and add the show your are interested in and your highest bid. Please note: There is a minimum bid of $1,000.00 per show with us having the right to refuse any and all bids. The closing date for this auction is October 15^th, 2011.

So what does the winning bid get?

1. All original jigs and fixtures related to the specific show with an identifying plaque mounted on all items,

2. An authentic 20 page 8.5 X 11 hard cover photo book with the photos of the jig/fixture being used on the Router Workshop,

3. A notary of public signed document to the authenticity of the jig/fixtures within the photo book,

4. The photo book being personalized and autographed by us,

5. And the personalized DVD of the specific show related to the said jigs/fixtures,

In order to have this happen we need to have minimum amount of bids and the only way you can join in on the auction is to sign up and submit your bid through the form below. Shipping and Handling is via UPS and is an extra charge that is the responsibility of the highest bidder.
