Router technique video/book

[jussi]

Any good recommendations on a good beginner router technique video or book. I'd prefer a video cuz I'm more of a visual learner but if there's a consensus on a great book out there I'll def take a look at it (gives me a chance to use my Barnes and Noble gift card). I was thinking about taking one of the Woodcraft classes but maybe there's a cheaper solution that's just as good (classes are ~$100).

Check out PatWarner.com. Make sure you have a couple hours to check that stuff out. Pat is a tremendous source of information on routers. I have his book, which is really good. If you buy it through his website, he will sign it and probably send it to you before you even send him a check--at least he used to. He is a really great guy.

There are several more router books, but none that come to mind. I'm sure many will chime in. Check out your local library. Mine has a lot of WWing videos.

Router Magic is another good reference

Here's an old thread where Keith compiled a whole list of recommended books ....

I posted some videos Here

The bible of router books is Bill Hyltons "Woodworking with the Router" found here

Edit: Router Magic, as Thom2 posted, is an excellent follow up to Woodworking with the Router and is Hyltons second book of the sequence. It is more jig and project oriented. I would master the basics first. YMMV

+1 on Woodworking with the Router. Also check out "The router lady". I think she has a video(s)? Carol Reed I think is her name but "router lady" will get you there.

I think there is a Tauton video with some other guy I can't remember his name. Just try tauton and router and google that.

Resist the urge to buy more routers than you can carry. It's workshop asset.
