A must Have Book

2007-08-23
This book is very informative on the use of a router for a new woodworker. It is a quick reference guide for the expert woodworker, everything you need to know in one book. If you only buy one book for your shop this should be the one.

Good book to show router uses.

This book provides excellent examples of things you can use your router for. It is easy to understand and thorough.

After purchasing "Woodworking with the Router: Revised & UpdatedProfessional Router Techniques and Jigs Any Woodworker Can Use" (by the same author), I was a little dissapointed. It really needs to be revised and updated. Pretty good book, never-the-less.

Jig Bible

2007-04-11
Need a jig for a specific cut? You can't do much better than this book. Bill Hylton's Router Magic will make you the Houdini of the furniture making world. There's stuff in here that you can make, that I an amateur wood worker can make. There's jigs that will be invaluable to you as you create and dazzle your friends. Some reviewer's claim this is for the more advanced wood worker. I disagree. If you've discovered the amazing uses of the router and need some constructive ideas for jigs and want to learn more about your router, this book is invaluable and the other book sold here at Amazon by Bill Hylton is also. You've got to buy them both. Trust me, you will thank me.

Go with his update

I bought this book and Hylton's updated book and wish I had only purchased the most recent. This book was out of date and redundant with his newer, more comprehensive book. His other book was Professional router jigs and techniques that any woodworker can use (or something like that).

Excellent book

With a handful of standard bits and extraordinary jigs, fixtures, and techniques, this book shows everything from planing boards to making fluted dowels, crafting flawless cope-and-stick joints, and creating amazing spiral-beaded columns and finials.

Nothing New

If you're a beginner as in just starting out,you'll pick up few ideas but I didn't see anything in the book that was new.

Fine Router Bag of Tricks

Bought the book mostly for the spiral turning jig.
Very simple solution to a complex turning problem. I intend to build it soon.
Also found many other tricks will be usefull in my woodworking activities.
The book is a must for routet user, those who do more than straight line routing.

Great Hubby Present

My husband loved this book and is anxious to start some projects.

What a great book!

This is fun to read. The drawings are detailed and the writing is very well written. There are so many things that I learned by reading this book. It will make you say..."Why did I not think of that before." I have a very good amount of wood working experience and was pleased by how much knowledge this book dropped on me.

It will open your mind up to possibilites not just limited to Routers. Even if you have no plans to build any of the jigs, you will certainly learn to think about fabricating other things in your shop to make wood working more accurate.

At less than $12, its hard not to cough up the money for the many hours of reading and brainstorming you will get back from the book-
