Over there we have a woodworking blog, tool store, links to videos, and plans. Some of our Plans that you buy are supported by Step-by-Step Tutorial Videos. That is true for our PopUp Workbench Plans and for our Sawstallions Plans.

I am no longer using Patreon in spite of any statement to the contrary you might see in a video uploaded before October, 2020.

2 Ways to Buy the Plans for the PopUp Workbench, the Sawstallions or any other plans we have developed (mostly various shop cabinets). Most are supported by numerous step-by-step how to build tutorial videos

6 years after you posted this video and you're still helping people. This is no nonsense teaching and I really appreciate how clear you made things.

[rayaldridge]

Two minutes and forty six seconds of pure information. No fluff. Thank you.

[LivingTheLifeRetired]

Great video. I just got my router and a plunge base and the instructions were not clear. I knew someone must have done a video to explain. Thanks so much!

[MrAffolder]

Couldn’t ask for a better tutorial! Well explained, right to the point, clear instruction and understandable. Thank you.

[marcleblanc]

you made it so easy and made common sense. Some of these other guys spend 20 mins trying to say what you did in under 3 mins. i wouldnt use my big router and bought a palm router, because other channels made it seem that you needed a degree to use the damn thing. After watch this. i use my plunge router more then my palm router.

This is this is the most helpful YouTube video I have ever watched. Thank you! No BS, straight to the point, learning from somebody who knows. Thank you.

[JerInCrik]

Thank you very much! This was such a basic and helpful video! I finally get it! I didn’t need to read how to do it, I needed to SEE how to do it! And, it didn’t take someone 20 minutes to say what could be said in under 3! Fabulous!!

[milkcritter]

Thank you so much, I have been trying to find a tutorial for this plunge router for hours! You just gained a subscriber!

[Mookdg]

Thanks SWG. Clear and to the point. Your no BS approach is much appreciated

I have a few full-size routers. I bought the Colt a few years back and have never used it. Well, I'm tired of using big production routers on small work so I went ahead and ordered this. Thanks for the video.

[davidbensonjonas]

Thanks so much, great tutorial, very easy to understand. Old guys rule!

[edmal]

Bosch should pay you to write their owners manual! Great video, clear and concise instructions. Thank you sir!!!

[realness]

Thank you so much, just bought one and I accidentally moved the plastic pieces and this video was very simple and helpful!!

[marklavaway]

Thanks. You made what appeared to be somewhat complex into what it is, pretty simple.

[bobbyevans]

Wow! That was very simply and expertly explained! Thanks for the information.

[WoodyWillisIII]

That was the best explanation I have seen. Super simple. Thanks.

[tonycole]

So simple now you've explained it. Thanks

[dcra]

Great video. Right to the point. I have a cheaper Harbor Freight Chicago Electric plunge router. But it has a very similar depth adjustment as the Bosch shown. This explains it simply. Thanks!

[sper]

Very useful info, very well explained. Thanks a lot, I'm following this guide right now.

Thank you for this - I've had my router for quite a few years and only ever did edges with it - well had to use it to cut some mitre slots and rabbets this weekend and couldn't figure out how these depth settings are supposed to work. Simple really, or maybe you just explained it well.
