The Router Workshop’s first Jigs and Fixture lessons,

Well, I have created my first Jigs and Fixture lesson and had my student create her first router fixture the ¼ inch spacer fence. From the first fixture we worked on creating the following wood joints. 1) the ¼ inch rabbet/dado, 2) the ¼ inch box joint, 3) ¼ inch trivets, and 2 boxes, one with a rabbet/dado joint and one with the ¼ inch box joints.

Dowel with my router on TRW,

Next up, is the creation of dowel using a router and router table. Here we have the lesson about how to use the router to make ¾ inch dowel. The dowel is being used on the CD storage system. Look for this how to video on my YouTube channel.

Using the router as a Jointer on TRW,

This YouTube video features the router being used to joint the edges of the project pieces. It uses a flush trim bit and fence that has an 1/8 inch off-set. This video shows the set up frm start to finish.

Finally a sneak peak of the TRW streaming backend,

We are getting closer to launching the Router Workshop streaming service of the 183 episodes. In the video we give a tour of the back-end of the TRW streaming service. We show the hide and show feature and what can be done with the picture in picture feature.

For a good router project this box designed to hold CDs has 4 unique corners that all could be done on a router table save the holes for screws which aren't really needed. 

We used it a a starter project in our beginning furniture design course series to introduce the students to several tools.  More than just making a box there but you could just use the simple box with no other of the details we required.
