Extract from back cover of book:
Get the most from your Router
The router is the most versatile tool you can own. Routers excel at shaping decorative profiles, but they can do so much more. Outfitted with the right bits and accessories, a router can also cut grooves, flush-trim, raise panels, and cut nearly every joint used to build cabinets, doors, drawers, and furniture.
About the Author: Lonnie Bird is a professional woodworker and woodworking teacher operating his own school in Dandridge, Tennessee. He also designs router bits and router accessories for the nation's top manufacturers. A contributor to Fine Woodworking, Bird is also the author of The Shaper Book, The Bandsaw Book, Taunton's Complete Illustrated Guide to Shaping Wood, and Taunton's Complete Illustrated Guide to Using Woodworking Tools.
