Have you ever heard of Router Templates? They are used to add shapes to wooden items. Shapes like handles on charcuterie boards, outlines of cartoon characters, and inlays. This class takes you from zero to awesome in a single night. You even take home your very own Bunny that you will make using this method. Save $20-$30 each time you create a new design vs purchasing templates from a vendor. Who knows, maybe selling router laser templates can be your new side gig.
