I own eight books on routers and routing. Four of them are by Pat Warner. Once I read one of his books I had to have all the others and no other author would do.

Pat's video (DVD) does not disappoint, and seeing the operations described in his books enriches them both.

I wish it was longer, mostly because I love watching Pat work and seeing how the jigs and templates he has designed and built produce such beautiful results. But I think he spent the right amount of time to show the full set of operations.

I recommend both this DVD and Pat's books.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great DVD For Beginner to Intermediate, February 23, 2009

This is a great DVD for the woodworking enthusiast. Pat has a fluid approach to using the Router in a variety of ways, and covers a lot of ground in the given time frame. My favorite was the Router Table section. The Video is split into chapters that you can go right to based on category. Overall, a great DVD for anyone who is interested in learning about Routers and how to use them. I've watched this video at least 8 times since I've got it, each time picking up something I didn't before. A wealth of knowledge in less than an hour.

I bought this with the expectation of starting from scratch learning about the router. I should have known better. Any how-to video seems to assume that the person watching has even the faintest idea of what is going on. I am a retired teacher and this video would be like teaching French level II or III to a person who never spoke French before. I do scroll saw work and was hoping to start doing some routing of my edges etc but this video was more disheartening than beneficial. I foolishly ordered 2 other videos from this company. Should have just ordered one first to see how they approached the material. His demos are on stuff and jigs that he built and not stuff I could go out and buy....it would have been nice to see how to use a router table and tools that are on the market(like Sears) other than his showing off his ability to build his own table, jigs, etc. If you are an idiot about routers like me, than this is not the video for you.
