This book was recommended to me in my woodworking class and it didn't disappoint. While it's a bit strange to mark a book like this as 'read', since I'm sure I will be re-reading this a lot and work on some of the projects outlined there, I guess it's either 'read' now or I will never be able to mark it as 'read'.
ANyway, great book, great illustrations and nice path from the very basics to a quite complex projects and techniques.

Pretty amazing book. Covers many, many aspects of using the router. As a rookie router user, some, or much, of it was beyond. I got the book from the library, but I need to get my own copy to keep on the workbench as I learn to use the router. Great instructional book on the topic.

This is a pretty good book and convinced me to build a router table. But Mr Hylton leaves out details that are pretty important for building the main table and has cost me a few dollars, so buyer beware.
