  Using beautiful woods, such as ash, cherry, beech and walnut, as the starting point, this is a collection of projects that will enable indoor woodworking enthusiasts to put their routers to really good use. This highly versatile machine is not only perfect for edge-moulding and decorative work, it is also great for all kinds of shaping and joint cutting. At the beginning of the book there is a section on tools and materials which explains all the functions of the router, as well as essential techniques. The 12 projects in the book are designed to be simple to make while having a really professional look. They also cover a range of techniques and router functions, such as making decorative mouldings, jointing and inlaying. The projects include pieces of furniture such as the coffee table with sliding panels, and the inlaid side table to practical items such as the knife block and wastepaper bin, as well as some beautiful gift ideas such as the jewellery box or bookends. With step-by-step instructions and photographs, as well as photographs of the finished items, this book will provide practical advice and inspiration for both amateur and experienced woodworkers.
