Always wanted to get into woodwork. Now I’ve taken early retirement I have loads of time on my hands and gathering tools like mad. Love your videos and are so easy to follow. Just subscribed.
My father and I had planned on combining his master carpentry skills with my metal working. I start machining and gunsmithing school this fall and sadly I inherited his tools before we got the chance to combine those skills. So, this being one of the many carpentry tools I've never used I find these basic information videos very helpful. Short, sweet and to the point.
Thank you for your video. Initially I thought I'd have to go out and buy a router capable of plunge cuts, but it appears that surface routing is the technique I'd need to use. Therefore, I should be able to use a router I've had for decades, for the first time. A Sears 150 Model 315.1749. The job... log home window and door rough openings. Constructed from square 8 "x8" hemlock, and I need to accomplish 2 things - cut a 1/4" wide by 2" deep channel up the center of the vertical window and door frames, and then insert a 2" angle iron piece to hold logs plumb. Second task is to cut a 3-4" long 1/4" vertical channel in the sub jamb (window buck), this channel allows me to install a lag bolt, the purpose of the channel is to allow the lag bolt head to slide down the 2"x8" window jamb when the logs eventually dry and shrink up to 3". I believe the surface routing is the correct application, please correct me if I'm mistaken, and thanks again.

Another fantastic video, I’m new to woodworking, and I am absolutely in love with it. Your videos are guiding me. I watched your how to make stairs and risers videos and my stairs came out fantastic thank you. Now to try some flush cutting on scrap 😀
Very informative. I like the way you provide knowledge with repetitiveness. You pinpoint and offer suggestions as you move through the video. It is easier for me to learn this way. Thank you, and well done.

Thank you! I love the fact u didn't turn this into a 10 min video. You explain everything simple and straight to the point. I just finished a 12 min video and was still scratching my head. I hit the 👍s up and subscribed. Hopefully the rest of ur videos are uniquely the same.
Hi , I’m beginning in carpentry, I by, my Reuter Bosh, 1/4”, Im suscribe, on your Chanel, please for me is very important to know the function all bits, and that quality is good for me, and I have a question for you, i want to by another Reuter 1/2”, because I want to practice with hardwood for building cabinets doors etcétera, your believe it’s good or not, thanks, sorry for my English, because never I coming to learn in to the school. Again thanks
The “left to right rule” is a commonly quoted one, which is true - as long as you cut the side closer to you, L2R is the bottom section of a full anti-clockwise cut around the entire perimeter of your board - it becomes R2L along the til edge Personally I prefer the clockwise/anti-clockwise rule for inside/outside cuts.
Yes, it is normal, and I do plan on making a video about that. It can be from a few different things, but I would say keep an eye on your feed rate. Meaning, if you push the router to slow, the bit and the wood have time to heat up, but if your feed rate is faster, less heat, etc. The other thing you can do is make a final pass that only takes off a very small amount... basically removing the burned part only. Try adjusting your feed rate first and let me know how it goes.
Left to right if the work is in front of you and if you are routing an outside edge. Another way to say it is counterclockwise around an outside edge, and clockwise around an inside edge. You can watch this video too -- ua-cam.com/video/8VREJOc0Pw0/v-deo.html
I'm new to the computer world and new to working with wood. Do you have a course on how to make cabinet doors with a Craftsman Router? I don't have a plunge router. Thank you kindly. I always enjoy your UA-cam videos. They are AWESOME!
I need to cut a circular groove (to fit over the opening of a barrel). What would be the best but to use? And btw I really like your presentation. Very easy to follow your explanations. Keep making videos 👍🏽
You can cut any diameter hole in your plywood regardless of the thickness. You’ll most easily do it with a straight bit, without a bearing, even with a small palm router. Guide the router like a compass, from the centre point. Even if the plywood is very thick you can still cut through, with several cuts going progressively deeper each time. No need for a particular diameter bit, just what ever you have.
Finding that I've got a real interest in "wood working". We'll see if that interest can translate into crafting some actual items for our cabin. Looking forward to learning more. And yes I will be looking for using a table since it appears I was given one along with the router!
I'm so glad to hear that you are getting a real interest in woodworking. The router is an amazing tool to learn. If you like my style of teaching you might also really like my beginner online router course. Check it out here if you want. bit.ly/3DcIeE3
Thanks for your info, it great valueable for me as beginner, please make long video duration jow use router bit as well and proper way, great thanks from me , in indonesia far away from U.
Great question. You basically need a cutter length that is just larger than the material you'll be trimming off. I find that this size is perfect for most projects amzn.to/3Po16Dy
I’m getting ready to use my handheld router for the first time to do a round over. The grain direction is a problem because this is an oval and it’s laminated wood so the grains are going all different directions. How do I do that safely?
Very good instructional videos. I just subscribed. I got my first router; I’m sure to keep coming back to your wood routing videos; thanks a lot for making and sharing them.
I am new to the router world and wanting to learn as much as possible. I’ve since picked up a Makita trim router kit and a Porter Cable router kit. I know there is so much you can do with a router. So I just found your UA-cam videos and really enjoy learning from them. I do have so many questions and just don’t know where to start. If possible it would really be helpful to chat. Thanks Mario
Hi, im a newbie and i just bought a palm router/trimmer and i tried carving my name on a reclaim pine using a straight bit but sometimes while carving, it kicksback destroying some of my carved letters. What maybe the problem? Help me avoid this please 😀 thank u
Hey Norman! Honestly, I've never routed letters before so I'm not the expert on that subject, but here's my non-expert advise. First, make sure you are always routing in the proper direction like I explained in both router videos... it should reduce kickback. Second, I probably wouldn't use a straight cutter. Look at a bit set that is made for making signs... they normally come with v-grooves and some cove bits. I hope that helps. :)
Oh i see. I really love carving and engraving wood signs and names. ill search for that groove and cove bits in the online store. Thank you for your reponse 😀

Yes, I would like to know how they work in a router table, please.
Thanks for letting me know Toni! I'll add it to my list of videos to make. 👍
Can you use a plunge router for edge routing as well?
yes
Since I don't have a drill press, I wonder if I can use a 35mm forster drill bit in a router to make holes for Euro hinges.
No, that would be a bad idea. They sell a simple jig for 35mm that you can use a drill. Look up Kregg.
Thanks.I've already bought a Milescraft Euro hinge jig from Amazon, just in case my router idea is not applicable. @@TrainingHandsAcademy

Have you watched all of my router videos? They might answer some of your questions. ua-cam.com/play/PLCUwe6NrnQaNBXRxEw6CQiQ6ts2KE63M8.html
Simple mistake but - Against the rotation is Anti - clockwise! 😬
The “left to right rule” is a commonly quoted one, which is true - as long as you cut the side closer to you, L2R is the bottom section of a full anti-clockwise cut around the entire perimeter of your board - it becomes R2L along the til edge
Personally I prefer the clockwise/anti-clockwise rule for inside/outside cuts.

I'm having a problem that the wood piece got little burned, how can I solve this problem?
Or It can be normal?
Yes, it is normal, and I do plan on making a video about that. It can be from a few different things, but I would say keep an eye on your feed rate. Meaning, if you push the router to slow, the bit and the wood have time to heat up, but if your feed rate is faster, less heat, etc. The other thing you can do is make a final pass that only takes off a very small amount... basically removing the burned part only.
