You should always move clockwise on internal routing and for external edges always have the work piece on your left and router moving anti-clockwise around the outside. Cutting bits are designed this way.

An alternative for the bearing bit would be using a bushing on your router. avoids some of the difficulties in determining the depth you need

Nice project. We are hoping to get a "Makers Shop" started in Moscow for the Christian community. So hopefully tools won't be an issue!

Step 0: Make an MDF copy of the template.

Very informative! What small bowl sanding kit did you use?

[cedaroakfarm]

Good video, where did you get the bits, they were not on your list? Would you use an bit extender for the deeper cuts?

[hansdegroot]

Great video. Thanks for sharing. Do you have a link to the template you used? I can' t find it among the linka in the description.

[jesspher]

Thanks for the video! One feedback is for some reason, the narration sounds so robotic. Maybe its just me..

[UltimateAnarchy]

I don't understand why you didn't clamp the clear plastic template onto the wood instead of 2-sided tape which leaves adhesive on the surface of the wood.

Hi! Is there a problem with your website? I bought your course a while ago and I can’t seem to log in— I fill out the username/password and when I click submit nothing happens. I sent an email to your contact, but haven’t heard back. Thanks

if your wife is like mine she probably yelled at you for using that white towel at the end.

i mean i can't get 'mad' at the hustle but you should just label these 'advertisements' / 'infomercials' . . .
