Hey y’all I’d love to get more familiar with the router and I’m not seeing any upcoming classes for it. Would anyone be down to set one up or show me where to inquire?

My Book Matched End Grain Cutting Board Masterclass actually covers the router table and handheld router — and a whole lot more. This is a 5-week, 20-hour deep dive into real woodworking skills.
Here’s what students walk away knowing:
• Jointer & Planer — machining rough sawn lumber the right way, correcting the most common beginner mistakes
• Table Saw — precise cuts, layout planning, and ripping boards for pattern work
• Chop Saw — safe and accurate crosscutting
• Router Table & Handheld Router — including cutting juice grooves
• Gluing & Clamping — proper panel glue-ups with tight, clean glue lines (done twice across the build)
• Sanding & Edge Finishing — getting a truly professional surface
• Food-Safe Finishing — mineral oil or beeswax application and long-term care
All materials are included and every student finishes with a professional-quality book matched end grain cutting board they built themselves. If you want to actually learn the machines — not just watch someone use them — this might be worth checking out.
Grab a spot here — next session starts July 6th.

Thanks for letting me know
That sounds like a great class. It’s out of budget for me so I’m hoping for a safety class for the router
