Router & Jig Seminars

The goal of this web site is to introduce you to a new workshop designed to improve your skill when using your router. The majority of woodworkers own a router that they use between 5% to10% of its capacity. Once you have completed this three-day workshop you will be able to use your router to at least 70% of its capacity.

The projects shown bellow are all made during the three-day workshop. Each project is designed to teach a different technique.

Projects #1,2,3 are done to show one of the many applications of inlay work. Once this technique is familiar to you, you will find it useful for many applications

Guide rings


Patterns can be copied from existing patterns in a number of ways. One way is to use a router bit which has a bearing located either at the top or at the bottom of the cutter. Guide rings can also be used. To machine this guide a circle jig is used. (You will note that this guide is not complete.)
