The router table has become a mainstay in most woodworking shops, but there is often some important detail in setting the router and table up each time. Changing bits and re-settings them, all of this requires some sort of a tool to set, check or adjust and if you have to go looking for these tools every time, it significantly breaks up the workflow of a project.

In this video, I am doing what I can to shorten those interruptions and make the workflow more continuous by making things related to the router table much handier to find, use and then put back where you can find them again. What I am doing for my router table is individual to me, but the same system can be used in most other router tables.

I love watching other peoples' videos to see what they are creating and how they go about making things and that's one the things I love about woodworking, is that there are often different ways of achieving the same end result. Generally, there is no right way or wrong way doing some, just different techniques often using different tools.

Some time ago, I watch a Very Good video made by Tamar of 3X3 Custom where she showed a variety of ways of making dowels, you can see it here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6tyygJh8c8s&feature=youtu.be
In that video, Tamar made a dowel using a router table, and it reminded me of a woodworking technique I try to remember to use, which is starting BIG and working small, and that is, start with a larger piece of wood, because it's easier and safer to hold on to, then work at making it smaller as needed.

I love how different all of the submissions are that I receive from subscribers. Some are more along the DIY line while others are all woodworking related, and since most of us often do some of both ... they are all valued at one point or another.
