Hoping to order a router table to the UK soon. Any news on the XL Aprons being back in stock?

I was trying to decide on whether to build a dedicated router table or to attach my router to my workbench which I already installed T track on. The only reason I was going to build one was because my table is about an inch thick and I thought that meant I would be sacrificing an inch in depth. I notice your router table is pretty thick as well. What is your suggestion and why?

Anyone else remember when TLC - you know, The LEARNING Channel? - used to show content like this? Where we actually LEARNED things? Thank you KM for giving us what we want and not what KZread wants us to want! 👍

I couldn't agree more with this comment. KZread has dumbed us all down to the lowest common denominator.

Ive learned another about fatties and hoarders though.

Honestly, may have been one of the best videos that I have ever watched on KZread. Straight forward sharing of knowledge. Thank you! I look forward to more of the No BS series!

Thank you my friend. I really appreciate it.

I love the idea of the no BS series. I’ll watch them all. I used to do woodworking for a living right after high school. Did that to pay for college. Then I was off for several years because I didn’t have the money. When my job caught up in wages I started collecting tools and doing woodworking as a hobby. All this spans 40 years. Reason for all this back info is even us old guys that been doing this for a while can learn something. You do this every day and have access to a larger variety of tools and other pro woodworkers. That means the time it takes you to gain experience and wisdom is shorter than it’ll take me, a weekend warrior. All that to say thanks, I love it.

A point worth noting; never bottom out a bit when putting it in the router collet. That allows heat to transfer up to the motor arbor. That is what burns the motor out. That was explained to me by a tool repairman years ago.

Best router intro ever.

Thank you, thank you, thank you! It’s fantastic that you’re doing this no BS no sponsorship series because it’s very difficult for a newcomer to go through all of the Content out there looking for the gems, and this looks like it’s going to be one of them. Solid information that can immediately be put to use. You asked, so here is my wish list for the next things to cover. 14 inch bandsaw, tablesaws and dust collection for small workshops on a budget.

Thank you Jonathan! I've been so intimidated by the router for so long. I think now I'm well armed to begin to tackle this amazing tool. I need to build a full-size router table and get a dedicated router for it. Pattern routing opens up SO many projects! I love this series. Please keep making these. Maybe you could do a no BS on hand saws? I know you carry a line of Japanese pull saws. I'm not so convinced those are the best for the new woodworker. I think the handle style common to western saws allows for better control. That is, obviously, just my opinion. I'd love to see a "no BS" explanation of hand saws. :)

What a fantastic video! I learned some good things about my routers and bits. Thank you for doing this!

Great 'No BS' video. As a beginner in the shop, it's awesome to see experienced professionals passing on their knowledge to people getting started like me. I haven't used a router yet, but it's next on my list of tools to buy and this information will be invaluable. Thank you for sharing.

RE the no BS approach: Love it! Keep 'em coming!

God bless you for offering a video series designed for someone at the very beginning of their woodworking journey! I can not tell you how much time I have spent in tears because I couldn't find a "kindergarten" video on a specific tool or process. I have a planer, miter saw, band saw, table saw, router, drill press, etc.. So far, the only thing I have perfected is wasting wood trying to figure out how to use each tool. Please keep these videos coming!

Great video! Yes to more NO BS videos.

You got it!

This was great! Definitely want to see more of this series please.

OH HELL UES WE WANT TO SEE MORE NO BS! Yes I’m shouting. The quality of delivery, content and media is outstanding and truly appreciated.

Great video. YT is full of junk and "sponsored" content that are more commercials than anything else. Your content is second to none in useful info. Routers are so handy I own 4 LOL... a corded palm for light work (with fixed & plunge and it fits into a small trim table I have), a cheap Ryobi 18V palm and a couple mid-sized with one in my large router table and the other with fixed & plunge for jobs the palm can't do. Some day I'll upgrade the router table motor to a 3+ HP. The Ryobi lives with a 1/4" round over or chamfer bit for easing edges... does a great job at that single task. Cheap, light and useful.

Yeah I have an unfair at vantage of the router table and router front hahaha. Love having dedicated router for certain bits.

Thank you! This is the exact kind of video-tutorial that I am missing and I love the most.

Great video, it's about time, so many "woodworkers" do more product selling and sponsors

This was fantastic! I’ll be waiting for the next No BS video. I wish these were more popular! Definitely a great learning experience. Thanks Jonathan for making these!

JUST,,,, what I need!

Thanks. Just got my first compact router yesterday and that was very helpful.

Incredibly helpful! Please do more of these get-to-the-point informational videos! I'd love to see one on table saws

Best of all your videos that I have seen. Can’t wait to see others.

Mad respect. Laying everything straight right at the beginning should be how it is done. I've just started wood working (3 months) and I'm TERRIBLE so I've watched more than a few... questionable videos. Thank you for giving no BS

Great stuff JKM! I think the shorts are great, don't get me wrong. I think it only exacerbates the plague of short attention span that is our current 'stereotypical' generation. There are some absolutely brilliant people in every generation.

This was an excellent video. I'd love to see more of the No BS series.

Rarely comment and like, however I did so in this case in hopes that it helps. I will add something that you already know. You did a VERY good job.

If only someone would've explained this to me years ago, simple, straight and to the point...no bs! Excellent job KM please continue to create videos like these for beginners and the next generation of woodworkers.

love the video series video ideas: hand saws (western and pull saws), chisels, other hand tools

Thank you! After 75 years I've learned that much of life is made up of reminders and open to new things. Thank you for both!

Great series, thank you Jonathan!

Dude, you the man! I'm not a carpenter by trade.....more like a "Jack-of-all-trades!" I appreciate being able to turn to "no-BS" instruction to help me in the workshop! Thanks for sharing! It just goes to show that old dogs can learn new tricks....I'll be the big 7-0 next month. Built a new porch/deck this past Summer. Time to move on to Winter projects....a park bench with red oak boards, then cabinet doors for a built-in cabinet I put in the space left by a home furnace....then, the key project....I've got to finish a Murphy Bed I had to put on-hold for a bit. Thanks for the help and advice!

As someone who's got some tools and is just looking to get into woodworking, I love the idea of the No BS series. Please keep it up, this was greatly informative and showed me just how badly I was using a router last year (oops). I'll be better in the future!

Great video. I like the "No BS" moniker. You covered all the essentials well. I'd like to see some in depth videos on EACH of the essentials you went over. For instance: I found this video because I'm looking to use my brand new palm router for the very first time to install a new interior door. So a video of what type of bit to use for routing hinge locations and latch plates, etc. would be something I would love to see.

I need this for EVERY tool

Thank you, Content… often revisit posts to refresh memory..

big thanks for this!! your BS series is just awesome

This format is great! I appreciate the organized presentation and feel it was presented in “bullet point” items, which works for me. I like to get straightforward info and then if there are items I want more info on, I can research on my own. Thanks.

I'd love an episode in this series covering measuring and marking basics.

I have missed content like this!!! Just the info, none of the extra fluff! I’ve got the attention span of a squirrel, so for me, this is the easiest form to follow. When there’s a lot of “coming up next” or teasers, it muddies up the waters and gets me lost. Love it! Thanks!

I have always liked your videos about setting up and using tools. I'd like to see something on compound miter saw.

Such a amazing awesome guy and channel. Hi John ! from Draytonvalley Alberta Canada 🇨🇦 No bs Tremendously informative content. Finally getting confidence with wood working thanks to you brother. Cheers. Precision marking changed the game also. Peace be with you

Great work my friend! 👍🏼😃

This was a great video!!!!! I hope you keep up with this format!!!!

Love this series.

Wow! I think I learned more about routers in the past few minutes than any other video!

I'm fixing to try and do my cabinet door . Thanks for the information

Fantastic video! Yes, please do more. Maybe on the table saw. It's often underestimated, especially by new wood workers.

Fantastic straight to the point and teaching with no 15 minutes of waffle to start the video keep it up.

Until now, I thought a router is what made my internet work! Seriously though, great video and very informative to one who is getting back to woodworking and realizing there is so much to learn/relearn Thanks!

I've always been a bit cautious when thinking about approaching routers but this video helped A LOT! I'm sure I'll be watching this a few times as I look at purchasing my first router!

Could you please cover types of drills and there uses ? You opened my eyes to a new toll I need . Thank you .

Wow! This video was awesome! To the point, specific and NO BS! Loved it!

No BS is just that. Great quick presentation easily followed. As an instructor at Rockler it gave me ideas for my two styles of router classes. Both will follow the no BS standard, with a little humor mixed in. As always you are one of the best in the industry. Stop by and visit if you're ever in Kennesaw GA.

Luv the format, luv the lduration, great content...you got yourself a sub. Wish more chanel would realise that some of us are here to learn not just get entertained.

I like this approach very much. Thanks

Thank you Jonathan for creating high quality content! So many of the other channels turned into infomercials in recent years ("10 tools I didn't know I needed", "5 mistakes woodworkers make", etc.)

Thank you for this new No BS series!!!

Great video. Especially the part that demystified the bits! Would love to see one of these on wood lathes!

Awesome video series. I knew about routers,but i definitely learned some stuff 👍

Solid, no BS info. Thank you. I enjoy the KM shop apron every time I walk into my shop, and the KM stop block often.

A great video, as always.

This video caused me to subscribe to your channel. Thanks for the info you give. Very informative.

Jonathan, this was my first time watching any of your videos. My friend, you did not waste a breath. There was so much info in this video, production value was high (Those slow-mo shots! Whoa!), and it's clear you really know your stuff. Liked, and subscribed; I'll be back. Keep up the good work.

Awesome , informative video!!!👍🏼👍🏼

Fantastic series! A jointer would make a great no BS video.

Best video I have seen on router. Much appreciated. Sub’d

OMG - so THAT'S what the arrow is for on the base! That is so incredibly helpful (and about the straight bits and depths) because I have a bunch of work to do this weekend. TYSM!

Wow, was this video packed with useful information! I would love to see something about work holding for those of us who don't have a fancy workbench with an expensive vise and T-track system. I spend a lot of time trying to figure out how to secure my work (or applying band-aids when I don't).

Safety tip: The palm router bases like the featured DeWalt have a large cut out to view the cutting….but it is easy to accidentally curl fingers into it = minced fingers! Take some 1/8” plexi, warm it and bend around the base to cover the hole and stop finger entry! Fix it in place with epoxy or make it removable with fasteners. You can drill and tap the metal to accept a small bolt each side to keep the plastic shield in place…an easy safety fix. Thanks for the video JKM 👍

Great intro! I finally understand what a router is for and see the possibilities. Thank you for this series

This is coming out at just the right time for me Looking forward to the rest of the series!

as always, great info. Thanks for sharing!

Thanks, Jonathan, excellent video. I look forward to your new NO BS series.

Fantastic video, exactly what I was looking for as a novice woodworker that's never used a router but would like to buy one. Thank you for this, keep them coming!

Great video!

Thank you for this content!

I love this!! I'm asked so often to give tips and tricks in the shop. I usually give information that I have but I more often refer them to some of you older videos from tool tune ups to basic of whatever. Thanks for this and I'm excited to see what you have in store

Absolutely love the idea of this series, hope you can flesh out more of the workshop.

Thanks John that's very educational 😊DIY has still not touched our Shores fully so these routers are very expensive and so are the other wood working tools ..

Loved the vid. Please continue the series.

Great video! It was really refreshing to watch something that just got stuck in and told you straight and to the point what you needed to know.

Excellent video, thank you.

Wow, great video.

Even after having routed a bunch of material, still learned something new. Thanks! Also, audio quality has been great these last few videos. Keep it up!

thank you! super helpfull

Love the no bs idea. Fantastic content

What a neat idea, turned out to be a GREAT series. Loving it!

Love this NO BS idea!

Man. This is absolutely amazing, and I can’t wait for more.

Great series, great info. Wish you covered the flat side of the base. 😜

Fantastic work, can’t wait for your next video, keep up the hard work.

Great series. Looking forward to whatever comes next.

Wow, what informative video and refreshing format. Looking forward to this series continuing. How about a No BS episode on sharpening?
