The router is relatively simple machine which, when correctly used, has endless possible applications. This course is all about opening the door to its many uses. Some previous experience of woodwork would be preferable. The introduction touches on some theory and safety aspects. Routers are relatively simple tools. The problem many people experience are with the guidance systems that are needed to optimise the use of the machine. This course will teach the student how to use these guidance systems by making a spice rack almost entirely with the router. Through this exercise the student will learn the following useful skills:
- Cutting a housing joint
- Moulding
- Cutting a rebate
- Cutting lettering
- Cutting a circle
- Cutting a straight line
The course takes place over two mornings from 9 am to 1 pm and includes course notes, materials, use of routers and midmorning refreshments.
