In this course we'll cover how to extend the basic capabilities of the router through commercial and shop made jigs and fixtures.

We'll show you how to makes template for pattern routing. How to make a router compass - we'll compare this with some commercial jigs.

We'll compare the different bits used in pattern routing and rub collar routing.

We'll show how to make jigs to cut consistent loose mortise and tenon joints.

We'll demonstrate techniques for making matching sides of curved joints, how to the router table for shaping.

We'll show you how to make sliding dovetails using jigs and using a router table.

We'll show you how to use the router to surface (flatten) large boards.

If you have an easily portable jig or fixture that you don't fully understand; feel free to bring it along and we'll help you figure it out.
