Router 101: Router basics for absolute, total beginning woodworkers.

1. Omg I though it had something to do with wifi ?? its a powertool

2. Nice…but you need to rouite in reverse to remove the bulk of the wood…then finish clockwise..thereby preventing splentering or tearout…

3. no bs straight to it for noobs thank you

4. I haven't been able to figure out why my new, straight bits jerk my wood and give me shitty cuts. I just gave up and decided to go back to using my table saw to cut grooves. So, I'm feeding it in the wrong direction and too much at a time?

5. I guess an eleven year old video doesn't need yet another positive comment but I do want to say thank you; having just bought my first router, I had a lot of questions before I set it up to do some practice work and this video literally answered every question I had at this point – which direction, how to connect to and use a router table, adjusting depth, etc., and it even touched on things like fences, etc., for slots or dados, etc.

6. Very high quality video. I appreciate it. I'm looking at picking one up soon

7. Thanks for video ,
   I like the SOMBRERO , ??

8. Thank you, I've just bought my first Router and now I'm going to have a go using it, wish me luck.

9. lol, I'm getting Scotty kilmer vibes

10. 11 years later youre still helping people!

11. Something I wish everybody would lookup is the difference between "chamfer" and "bevel." Bevel becomes a one size fits all word for a lot of people but they are not the same.

12. I just purchased a rockwell router on fb market place for a good price. I can't find a video on how to use it specifically and I know NOTHING…

13. what router table works with a Craftsmen 917497 router?

14. Thanks for the intro Steve. This is helpful.

15. You’ve definitely aged well

16. Thinking about buying my first router, this video helped me figure out what I'll need with awesome how-to. Now I just need to figure out which one do I want lol.

17. Thanks from Cameroon

18. Waooo upon all videos watched this is the most explicit so far

19. Great tutorial. I'm making a cabinet for my daughter's minibus and now I'm ready to go!

20. Eminem berzerk music video style was taken from this one

21. WOW Steve… I had no idea you were doing videos for so long!! Thanks for all the tips!

22. Steve's shop is so different now, but the mystery spot lives on.

23. i've been looking for two days for someone doing a tutorial using the same router i have! thank you !

24. Damn u looked older 10 years ago lol nice ? u we’re definitely a bit more “jittery” back then too , just a tad more lol

25. 10y.o video and seemed like they video"aged" well

26. What would you suggest to route an inlay in a table top that doesn't run to the edges?

27. This was great. Really helped more than the others I've seen that glossed over the detail. I'd like to know more about clamping and stabilising the work piece when you're without a router table

28. As always, !!Great tutorials and videos!!

    I just bought a router and a table just like that… but I don't know what are for, or how to set the silver rings with orange measurements that the Router as on it, maybe you can give me a tip?… Thanks and greetings from Mexico.

29. I always appreciate your videos Steve, thank you for making woodworking approachable. Also, really cool to see an early video compared to where you are now

30. Take a shot every time he says router.

31. Amen. Finally something for people who know nothing about woodworking, with no assumed knowledge. Thank you ?

32. Good to see YouTube is listening tentatively to my personal conversation.

33. so glad that Steve stopped consuming so many Monster drinks. That shit is bad for you.

34. Steve did a few lines of blow before making this video.
