• Submitted Questions:
  • Jason Parker – I currently use my router to do simple easing of edges and light decorative edging. However, I have a project which requires a much larger bit. Can you discuss router HP vs bit diameter vs cutter speed in relation to material height. Specifically, material thicker stock 1.75 but less than 3′′ thicknesses for locking miters and also raised panels both horizontal and vertical orientations.
  • Jason Browder – I am a beginning woodworker and I am going to build an L-shaped computer desk so one side will be for my computer and the other for the kids computer. I would like to know what woods I could use for the top of the desk. With 2 11 year old boys it needs to be somewhat tough. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Also I live just south of April so if she has any suggestion on where to go to get some good wood I would appreciate that as well.
