Router course 100% recommended.

[@PROProcesss]

You have a good quality shot and your work turned out great!
I give it a 👍.

[@guybowers9094]

Great little project and tutorial on the circle jig

[@TrainingHandsAcademy]

Thanks for the comment.

[@Pembroke.]

This is an excellent project for the weekend when the little lady tells you to get out of the house.

[@TrainingHandsAcademy]

Ha! Exactly. :)

[@jeremyhuggins8796]

That was a neat little project. Looks great!

[@TrainingHandsAcademy]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@David.M.]

Very nice jig. Ever since taking the router course, I use my router on most projects. Amazing how those finishing touches make a project look great.

[@TrainingHandsAcademy]

It's simple, easy to use, and makes sanding much easier too. Good to hear from you David.

[@thewestendwoodworker]

Love the Walnut! Thanks for discussing the jig. Definitely will buy vs make on something that accurate.

[@TrainingHandsAcademy]

Thanks for watching my friend.

[@haszam109]

nice job bro

[@TrainingHandsAcademy]

Thanks

[@EscobarStyle]

Love this! Buying a jig already works best in my opinion. It’ll cost 💵 but will come out perfect. Great video my friend.

[@TrainingHandsAcademy]

Thanks for the comment buddy. It's always good to hear from you!

[@jgrogg]

Nice video my friend. Looks like I need to get another jig.

[@Pete.Ty1]

👍👍👍Thank you

[@TrainingHandsAcademy]

You are so welcome. Thank you for watching.

[@Putramandirichannel735]

hi, your video is good, greetings from Indonesia, good luck.

[@TrainingHandsAcademy]

Thank you very much

[@garvielloken3929]

Nooice!

[@davidkrempasky7086]

Awesome videos! Thanks! I'm trying to make 3 & 4 inch circles. I'm having trouble finding the right jig. Help! God bless you!

[@TrainingHandsAcademy]

They do make a smaller jig too... it works with small trim routers.

[@davidkrempasky7086]

@@TrainingHandsAcademy I chickened out, I'm just gonna get a hole saw drill bit. My work piece is kinda small. The high speed of the router has robbed me of confidence

[@TrainingHandsAcademy]

I understand completely. If you ever want to grow your confidence with the router, I do have an online router course in case you didn't know. bit.ly/3DcIeE3@@davidkrempasky7086

[@Manu_Nayar]

Hello there.
Can you suggest a blade to cut round 100dia
Thanks

[@TrainingHandsAcademy]

I replied to your other comment about the blade options.

[@FishmobHarry]

Is there a reason to use the 1/2 inch bit? I would have thought a slimmer bit would make for an easier cut?

[@TrainingHandsAcademy]

I like the rigidity of the 1/2 bit... especially through Hardwood.

[@mykolashatkovskyi576]

One of my very favorite WW channels and it is so silent last half-a-year 😞
Hope all is good?! ❤

[@TrainingHandsAcademy]

I'm coming back soon!! Thanks for the comment!

[@judemccooey4987]

Can u do this with any type of router ? My router doesn’t look like that

[@TrainingHandsAcademy]

Only a plunge router

[@charlesviner1565]

[@TrainingHandsAcademy]

Thanks buddy!
