Router Table Build - Segment Three: Stock Prep & Dimensioning

Grain is everything. If you don't know how to get the best material from any given board you'll never reach your potential as a woodworker. Grain is where it all starts. Here we start from purchasing and progress through processing and use.

An exert of this video was previously uploaded as a teaser for the series I was selling at the time. For continuity sake I'm re-uploading it into the new series. The next episode in the series will be new.

Note: My analysis of the shrinkage of wood around tenon in carcass/chair is right except... rotate it 90 degrees. Lets call it a doing a hundred things at same time momentary slip. Still a historically accurate method of using green wood and getting tightening joints.

The series represents about 100 hours of videography and editing time for me on top of decade of experience learning the skills in both teaching and craft. Plus I had my normal work and building schedule to cover expenses at the time.
