Routers Beyond Roundovers | I Can Do That!
Фильм және анимация
Woodworkers love their routers, but they may not be getting as much out of them as possible. In this episode of I Can Do That, Andrew takes routers beyond roundovers, and shows how to cut rabbets, makes a simple jig for accurate grooves and dadoes, and shows a few methods to create arcs and circles with a router. Lots of router fun!

NICE CAMERA WORK TOO !
Thanks for the “Plunge-Motion” tip! - 👍🏼
I, too, am a router newbie. I had been a teacher, coach and trainer for about 30 years, so I can easily appreciate the planning and skills in the setup for these lessons. It was right there at my experience and head level. I've used different tools and skillsets, but this class is going to help me with projects almost immediately, so I am totally appreciative. Thanks already. As I sat to have my dinner on my deck, my eyes started looking around at the woodcraft around me, chairs, railings, shelves, steps, supports and flowerboxes. Oh, God am I going to have a wonderful time with my new tool when it arrives this weekend. Wish me luck. I'm just planning on enjoying, planning and careful execution. Thanks.
Great video! Just what a newbie like me needs. I too appreciated no music, no screaming or shouting into the camera like some other presentations I have watched! Very clear and yes - for those who commented about MDF - I did get that you need a mask when cutting MDF; you did say that in the video and you were only cutting a very small amount of it. Good job and thank you.

It only takes a small amount to cause lung cancer.
No frills, presentation is straightforward. Just what i needed for a woodworking tutorial. I like what i see so my subscription is expected.
Trim routers are very good for there convenient mechanism, not heavy, meaning lots of work simple and faster, change of bits simple etc .
Excellent...and no awful music. Great pacing and commentary
Amazing, simple and to the point. Thanks for the lesson Andrew!!
Very well explained! I had no knowledge of routers, but I know how to use one now. Thanks for your time making this video. 👍🏼👌🏼
Routers beyond roundovers are fun. Cheers!
Lovely jubbly and bubblyly done I just bought Palm router and wanted to learn how to router and came a cross your channel You have explained beautifully and I will have a go, thanking you from Kathmandu for sharing
Thank you! Most channels focus on showing using a router on a router table.
Thank you for not screaming and hollering - and also for NOT having background noise.
Very nicely done !! I'm a relatively new woodworker and a novice with a router. This was very helpful to me. I'm sure to many others as well. Andrew, Thanks for sharing your thoughts and videos, Rodney
Exact concise explanations without wasted time. Great!
Relaxed presentation. Thank you.
Simplify your circle jig. Pick a guide brushing. Drill a hole in the jig that matches the OD of the brushing. Put the brushing on the router and just drop into the hole and go. This eliminates the need to screw the router to the jig.
Good narrative, no wasted words, but nothing left out, either. Thanks. I'm already liking my router better.
Loved to watch your video... Thank you so much making everything so simple and easy. Moreover, your voice and gestures are just amazing.
Excellent explanation....you are very patient and a very clear tutor
Most excellent !!! Thank you ! I love the close up camera, and ur teaching style is great-Being a first time router lover newbie, I really need this video !!thank you hope u make more shows !!!
Excellent, thanks for the idea.
I’m very glad you explain every detail in your video which is very helpful to router newbies. I enjoyed your tutorial.
Wonderful video. Well made, easy to understand and at the right pace Thank You
Wow... thank you for sharing bright ideas!! God bless.
I failed woodworking classes miserably preferring tech drawing instead. Back then we only used hand tools. The router is an extremely useful tool. Nice video on the basics of using this tool. Top marks to you.
Awesome. Just needed that jig for my garage cabinet! Subscribed.
Great video, beautifully explained, useful close up shots. Thank you for taking the time to post!
Excellent thank you very much, really appreciate your time.
As always really easy useful jigs thank you and Andrew u are doing a good job u r easy 2 listen 2 and understand
Thank you Andrew, very useful video class.
Excelente demostration.
Im mexican and my english is not so good but he explane very well I like it
I like how you explain everything great job be watching you 👍
Thank you very much. That video is so helpful for me to learn how to use the router in different ways.
I really like this guy. A good teacher can translate his or her knowledge and experience into demonstrations that follow logical progressions and "cover all the bases." Hope to find more of his videos. I learned a lot today. Than You!
If you put the two pieces on top of each other, the first groove would also be transferred to the bottom piece as you go through the top piece. Then all you had to do was finish the second one off. You'd have identical grooves.
great router jig, easy to use and easy to build will try to make this one thankyou
This guy is real and humble 😎👍
Very nice laid back demonstration. I am new to wood working and I have never used a router, here I go. Thanks
That and so much more! T-track and keyholes are two other operations one can do easily with a compact router.
Exactly what I was looking for! Thanks for sharing!
Very nice informative video, Andrew..!! Just something I needed, as a newbie in woodworking.
What I like most about you is, you're such a cool person, and the way you explain in details, bravo brother, I learnt something from you. Cheers.

Thanks a lot brother. It was a nice work. But can you tell me, what kind was the simple router?
Excellent and straight to the point, thank you so much!!!
Thank you for this video. I'm making a speaker cabinet and have never used a router. This covered the three or four things I was hoping to learn.
Great teaching skills! As a former trainer/teacher I enjoy watching a "natural" go step-by-step without sounding condescending. Thanks for sharing your talent and passion. I think even I can learn to use a router. God bless... Wait, I just hit the "subscribe" button. LOL

Thank you for the excellent explanations!
Your good! I was also a trainer/instructor for many years. You do present in a vary systematic way. Really enjoyed and learned from your presentation.
Great refresher, I use the router so infrequent so this helps get reacquainted with the tool
Good watch. Not new to using a router just never learned these techniques.
Interesting demo.Thank you.
Thank you ! Well appreciated content❤
Excellent video, thank you for showing
Excellent demonstrations on using a router.
Cool work techniques ! Thanks for the demo 💯
Great video. Lots covered in one shot. Thanks
Really good camera work and editing! Don’t change your style or shop, don’t get fancy and fast w the editing or add background music- this is great teaching. I could devote my attention to what you were doing w/o having to filter out those distractions. Thanks!
To make accurate centers for drilling holes to match something like a router base, just take out a drill bit from your set of bits that is the same size as the hole, place it in the hole and hit it with something - a piece of scrap wood, a hammer, whatever. Viola, a centered mark. Even a old, blunt drill is good enough. If you are doing this sort of thing regularly you can buy a set of 'Transfer Punches' from any number of online sources that will mark wood, steel or plastic without being damaged.
Nice job. If you cut the far side of the dado first, you can use a spacer the same thickness of the material and cut the second pass. This way, it's not necessary to measure and set twice. Papa Mel
Thank you very much my friend, I got many things from your perfect video.
Thank you for this video,nicely explained
muy buena demostracion gracias por ello jorge de argentina
If you use a square router bit, you could make square corners vs those rounded ones - no chisel needed. LOL
Nice video! Good presentation skills. One suggestion I'd make for the dado process. I noted some tear out at the end of both passes. A simple backer board will eliminate this, and is always a worthwhile tip to include.
Good job. I liked it. Thank you,!
That first groove... Man that router didn't sit flash whit the working piece 😂
Heaps of tips, especially a beginner like myself, I'll try couples, rabitting and compass guide. Thanks heaps.
Good job I learned a lot from this. Thanks.
thank you. VERY helpful to me, a beginner.
Nice video. All good tips. I made a router table out of scrap wood. It makes it easier making rabbit cuts. But you showed me so ideas for free hand. I need to look into a compos cutting jig for my router. Never saw one before. Making one for a one time use is simple, now that you showed me and is a great idea. Thanks for the great tips. Barry
brilliant video thank you very much.
Excellent tip top, learnt a lot. cheers.
very informative! Thanks!
Ooooo! cool! EXACTLY what I was looking for!
Very easy to follow and great tips
If I can give any one advice, an I’m no pro but the best thing I ever learned is to sneak up on the cut! Especially when working with ply woods, dimensions very so much from one piece to the next. Lines are just reference marks to get you close.
Excellent tutorials. Look forward to more. Subbed!
Choking on the MDF dust just watching! MDF dust is the next asbestos!!!
Great advise about starting with an inexpensive set and replacing the ones you love to use. Where were you when I bought the the expensive singles that are still shiny clean ten years latter? Enjoy all your videos. Keep 'em coming!
Excellent video, very clear and easy to understand, just won yourself a new subscriber.
Really well presented and well explained. Thank you very much.
Thanks for sharing, keep the good work.
Very good! Thank you.

Excelente gracias muy meticuloso y exacto
I like that dado jig, I do. I'll be building one next day or two. Actually probably right after watching this. I'm going to be making christmas gifts soon, (all my scrap wood) will be glued into color pattern panels, for desk top speakers, stash boxes with hidden compartments, and hopefully I can find some patterns for some 3D wooden puzzles, that kind of stuff. Dado joints are very useful and strong. I can't waite I have purchased some other stock like walnut for example to mix up the colors. Great video thanks.
What a great video......I am going to make this today....thxs
¡Muy sencilla y efectiva la plantilla de dados!. ¡Gracias por compartir!. ¡Internet es una hermosa herramienta!.
Great video! 👍
Great Jig . Thx
Great video, thanks for breaking it down Barney style. Just got back into woodworking and this was a great refresher.
Nice job brah! Very informative
Very good I like it ,thank you for your time mate old jimmy Australia
I REALLY love your simplicity, and how you aren't trying to be fancy and really speak to us, beginners. It feels like a nice simple place to learn from. Thank you!
