Book Reviews of Woodworking with the Router: Revised & UpdatedProfessional Router Techniques and Jigs Any Woodworker Can Use
Book Review: The router book with the widest range of topics
Summary: 5 Stars
I like this book for a lot of reasons. That includes clear and enjoyable writing, good pictures that support the text, minimal non-usable material, and content that extends my vision. This is not really positioned as "Router 101" type of book. While it does have some introductory material in the opening chapters, it doesn't stop there - far from it, in fact! The number and types of jigs the book covers is just amazing, plus it manages to convey how to build them without wasting enormous numbers of pages on unnecessary details. Multiple approaches to many jigs are also presented, too. There is useful advice embedded throughout the book, ranging from bit selection to the depth of carcass sliding dovetails. I particularly appreciate perspective advice like the latter, as a simplistic presentation of how to cut a sliding dovetail alone will get you plenty frustrated once you try fitting one a half-inch deep and 12 inches long!
This is a Reader's Digest book. Don't let that hold you back. They've had some pretty good woodworking titles, and this book is well-made in addition to being really well-written. Another is Bob Flexner's Understanding Wood Finishes book. I used to regard Taunton as the gold standard in woodworking books. Lately it seems as though 90% of what they publish is retreads of Fine Woodworking articles.
