Book Reviews of Router Magic: Jigs, Fixtures, and Tricks to Unleash Your Router's Full Potential

Book Review: A Must-read for all levels of routists.
Summary: 5 Stars

The book does not cover things like "what kind of bits should I buy at first" and "what do I do if I run my router bit through my aluminum t-slot". It's a book about using jigs to solve your problems and to make using a router safer and more effecient. If you own a router and know how to make even bad cuts with it, you should read this through and find ways to make your life easier.

Anyway, just keep in mind that you don't need to make all of the jigs here to get started. Just make the 2 or 3 basic ones (all of which take less than a weekend to make--usually 4-8 hours once you have the materials) and make the others as you need them. Again, it may be a bit intimidating at first read, but all of the details are there and after a second read of a jig, they will come to life for you.

He hit the router table design right on the head. Great design, I stole some components and added them to my existing clunker to make it more useful. When I accidentally run over it with my truck in a few months, I'm planning to build his almost exactly as detailed.

(No I don't know the author...I'd have to pull my copy off my workbench to check his name.)
