This was great! I’m scared but I’m buying a router.
Awesome tips! Thank you
Just got my first router. I've heard of them, NEVER seen one in use. Thank you so much for this quick simple video that didn't go into too much detail but just enough to get me started!!!!!! Here I go!
Great video. I just purchased a router table to do some basic cuts thru some 2×2 pieces. This was very helpful for a novice worker, 👍
You guys are awesome
Thanks for the share and the laugh ☺️
did you just pound a nail through your vinyl siding to hang your sign ? lol
Excellent starter video, finally took the plunge and got my dream tool. If it weren't for the fantastic subject you were talking about I might have been completely distracted by your gleaming white teeth.
I absolutely love this tool!!! The first one was defective and Dewalt replaced MyBest.Tools More bulky than the Bosch and Makita corded palm routers I have but worth it. Nice solid base
I like to call this guy 10 fingered Jamie.
Awesome thanks!
Great video! I'm in the process of learning the basics about routers so I can buy one and the info here was really helpful. The explanations about bit types was especially useful for me. Thanks!
Hey Jamie what brand do you think make the best router bits?
