A woodworking and furniture design instructor who has been writing for over 40 years, Wearing here shows readers how to make a number of useful jigs and attachments for the router in this compilation of articles that originally appeared in the British journal The Router. Proper jigs and fixtures are the key to getting the most out of the router, which is often described as the most versatile tool. Wearing demonstrates how to modify a bench vice easily to become a router jig, cut 45- and 90-degree angles and circles accurately, quickly clean up and trim edges, and make a variety of joints easily and accurately. His methods aren't fancy, but they are effective and fairly inexpensive (after one purchases a router and bits). Colorful photos and clear illustrations fill much of this appealing presentation. Public libraries with heavily used woodworking collections should consider this title. (c) Copyright 2010. Library Journals LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc.
