I'd be grateful for some router tuition

[Knot Competent]

from someone in the Bristol area. Specifically, I need to learn how to rout cross-grain dadoes with a hand-held router, and I'd prefer some one-to-one tuition. I'm becoming more relaxed with my table-mounted router, but would appreciate someone showing me how to do non-table stuff. If anyone experienced can spare me an hour or two, I'd be happy to pay.

Hi John

Sorry but I'm not able to help with tuition, firstly because I am not local and secondly because I am not experienced enough to do so

However, this may help https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7j4vGS4HY-8

You could get some useful tips from this demonstration at Upton upon Severn on 28th of this month - not too far up the M5 from Bristol. It has also been mentioned in another thread.

Come along to Peter's Open Day. Both Peter and I will be demonstrating router stuff. If there is anything specific you want, let me know in advance and I'll try to prepare something to match.
It's not exactly imminent, but I'm also writing a DVD (well, the equivalent, online) about routing techniques, so you might be interested in that, if it ever comes to fruition!
PS Peter's Open Day is free!
(Well, noting is free, but Peter foots the bill rather than the visitors, so you don't have to pay to come along.)

Thanks, guys, I'll be there, and look forward to it!

Hi John
If that's all you want to do, I have a jig that does just that. Any width. It's on one of my DVDs (10, I think, but I'd have to check). I say "have", I've not seen it recently, so maybe it went in the theft. But if I can't find it I'll try to upload the clip to my phone so that you get the idea.
See you there
Steve
