In Advanced Router-Table Techniques, Woodsmith's Phil Huber walks you through the essential joinery methods that separate solid, professional results from frustrating, sloppy fits. From frame-and-panel construction to box joints and splined-miters, Phil covers not just the what, but the why — including common mistakes (like using the wrong bit) and smart setups that make every cut consistent and repeatable. Whether you're refining your router table skills or ready to tackle more complex joinery, you'll come away with practical techniques and shop-tested jigs and add-ons that you can put to work immediately.
