How To Make A Router Tray

Handheld Routers Course: bit.ly/3DcIeE3

[@David.M.]

I learned a lot from the router course. It was worth the cost. Thanks

[@TrainingHandsAcademy]

@@David.M. Thanks David!

This video popped up on my feed at the right time. Learnt a few hints and tricks from it. I've got a piece of reclaimed wood from a 100 year old house. It'll make a great tray. Only, being totally uncoordinated with my hands, I'm heading to the CNC router and using that.

[@TrainingHandsAcademy]

That will be an amazing tray for sure. Thanks for the visit.

[@marcoabreu8348]

I have a question, if we need to change bits mid work for make a inside corner smaller, how can we do that without accidentally cut the botton, just the wall/corner ??

[@jimrosson6702]

Great video love the way you teach and explain what you are doing. Thanks for sharing your experience with us

[@TrainingHandsAcademy]

My pleasure! Thank you again for the comment.

[@flatlinesup]

Great vid. Thank you for sharing.

[@TrainingHandsAcademy]

Thanks for watching!

[@jamesg7028]

An alternative for the bearing bit would be using a bushing on your router. avoids some of the difficulties in determining the depth you need

[@TrainingHandsAcademy]

Great advice! Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us.

[@josuecaleb5053]

I bought a porter-cable 690 series router at a garage dale from an older gentleman, and he threw in a guide bushing kit because I stopped to talk to talk to him about tools. He taught me quite a bit in maybe 10-15 mins. I used to rely on bearings on my bits, but realized that you can't always do that. The guide bushings are a bit more involved, but once they are in you just measure and start cutting.

"Possibly make my mistakes on the scrap wood" is an understatement. My mistakes are manyfold when it comes to woodworking.

[@TrainingHandsAcademy]

Mistakes are what woodworking is all about.

[@Campos2011]

Great tutorial, it doesn’t look like a difficult project 👍🏽

[@TrainingHandsAcademy]

It's a really fun one too!

[@jgrogg]

Nice project. We are hoping to get a "Makers Shop" started in Moscow for the Christian community. So hopefully tools won't be an issue!

[@TrainingHandsAcademy]

Hey friend! Good to hear from you. Moscow?

[@felipeleal2568]

Step 0: Make an MDF copy of the template.

[@TrainingHandsAcademy]

Great point!

[@mariocorona2890]

Nice! It’ll be great to learn more about routers. Let you know. Thanks.

[@TrainingHandsAcademy]

Looking forward to hearing from you.

[@Vipcioo]

I appreciate your knowledge and it would be great if you added subtitles for inch values ​​in mm. You are watched by many people from countries where the metric system is used. And this potentially increases your viewership.

[@TrainingHandsAcademy]

I normally do, but I guess I forgot about his video. Sorry my friend.

[@cedaroakfarm8596]

Good video, where did you get the bits, they were not on your list? Would you use an bit extender for the deeper cuts?

[@TrainingHandsAcademy]

Hey thanks. Sorry about that. Try these. Whiteside #3000 template bit: amzn.to/4g3MFBW Whiteside Spiral Router Bit RU5200T: amzn.to/3Xi1J7Q Router Extension: amzn.to/3X4RpP0 Whiteside Bowl and Tray Bit: amzn.to/3WYhuPX

[@jerry4249]

Great video man. Made this look doable. A lot of picky shits in the comments though. Dont worry about them. Perfect video for anyone who wants to see that this is a doable thing. Gonna go check out some templates now. Ive wanted to do this for a few years but im not comfortable enough to really think im gonna be able to build good enough templates myself.

[@TrainingHandsAcademy]

Good luck man. Let me know if you need help.

[@s3uoq]

You should always move clockwise on internal routing and for external edges always have the work piece on your left and router moving anti-clockwise around the outside. Cutting bits are designed this way.

[@TrainingHandsAcademy]

Awesome information. Thanks for adding.

[@BobMBobM-g4s]

Very informative! What small bowl sanding kit did you use?

[@TrainingHandsAcademy]

Thanks. I used this one. However, they have some much cheaper on Amazon. www.woodcraft.com/products/performance-abrasives-new-wave-abranet-bowl-sanding-kit

[@hansdegroot8549]

Great video. Thanks for sharing. Do you have a link to the template you used? I can' t find it among the linka in the description.

[@TrainingHandsAcademy]

Sorry about that. I got my from Rockler but it was $50! I would be this one if I had to do it again. amzn.to/4dwyfZt

[@hansdegroot8549]

@@TrainingHandsAcademy No problem. Thanks for the link.

[@mykolashatkovskyi8817]

You're back?!

[@TrainingHandsAcademy]

Yes, I'm trying. My other work has been keeping me very busy. Thanks for the comment.. :)

[@michaelsorensen7567]

Would it not be more correct for the second tray to have a 6/8 (or 3/4) inch radius on the outside corner? That would keep your radius center the same for both, and the 1/8 inch reveal should in theory just at 1/8 inch to the radius from the same center, no?

[@TrainingHandsAcademy]

Sure man, you can build it anyway you want.

[@SxmTech101]

Nice one

[@TrainingHandsAcademy]

Thanks

[@SxmTech101]

@@TrainingHandsAcademy no thank you for making the video and teaching the woodworking community.

[@putkipihvi324]

You can fix your template hole that has a gauge in it with super glue and baking soda technique :)

[@TrainingHandsAcademy]

Tell me more about that?!

[@putkipihvi324]

@@TrainingHandsAcademy just put some baking soda to the void and some drop ca glue on top of it. The mixture hardens basically immediately. Remember to do it in few layers so that the glue penetrates all the way to the bottom. And of course rough up the template for better adhesion.

[@TrainingHandsAcademy]

@@putkipihvi324 Very cool. Thanks for sharing.

[@jesspher25]

Thanks for the video! One feedback is for some reason, the narration sounds so robotic. Maybe its just me..

[@TrainingHandsAcademy]

Thank you for the constructive feedback.

[@davidnevins4883]

How much do you sell these for typically?

[@TrainingHandsAcademy]

Great question, but sorry I'm not really sure. Maybe someone else can speak into this.

[@marcuslee80]

Hi! Is there a problem with your website? I bought your course a while ago and I can’t seem to log in- I fill out the username/password and when I click submit nothing happens. I sent an email to your contact, but haven’t heard back. Thanks

[@TrainingHandsAcademy]

Sorry to hear that. We did change the site over to a new system about 2 weeks ago, so there might be a glitch in the system. Please email me a [e-mail] and I'll get you working again. Talk soon.

[@marcuslee80]

I just sent you an email. Thanks!

[@MelbourneArchviz]

if your wife is like mine she probably yelled at you for using that white towel at the end.

[@TrainingHandsAcademy]

HA! She didn't know I used it yet. LOL

[@AbsoluteFamily123]

Great video but the slow robot talk is too much. Thanks

[@TrainingHandsAcademy]

Thanks for the feedback

[@BigJonkulous]

You can speed up any video. Just watch on 1.5 speed.

[@sikosis999]

i mean i can't get 'mad' at the hustle but you should just label these 'advertisements' / 'infomercials' . . .

[@TrainingHandsAcademy]

I'm glad you are not mad. Did you learn anything? Have you made a router tray yet?

[@tdawg4998]

This seemed more like a tutorial than an advertisement

[@chrisbrannan3784]

Dude spent 14 minutes teaching you a new skill, and less than a minute talking about his website, at the end of the video. Definitly not an infomercial where they cut in every 30 seconds. And certainly not as bad as half the woodworking channels that just do reviews of every tool gimmick under the sun, but to each their own I guess 🤣
