After learning the ins and outs of our photo printer, we'll explore the router table on the second day of this workshop. Learn about edge profiles by creating rabbets and roman ogees, as well as stopped cuts, creating keyholes, using MDF templates, and the Dubby Cutoff Sled. By the end of the second day, frame your picture with a custom-fit wooden frame for a professional finish. All materials are provided in your class cost.
