The first major project for Intermediate Woods this semester will be a table similar to the one in the following plan:
We will be using the Pantarouter to make the mortises and tenons for this project.
The Pantarouter was originally designed and built by Mathias Wendell. He has an excellent video on how the Pantarouter works, though he demonstrates it on his original, shop-made, wooden machine. Here is an overview of doing woodworking with the Pantarouter.
Students have seen the Pantarouter at work; today they will use the above video to try to understand why the machine works.
Next students will use scrap lumber to learn to set the machine up.
Students will begin the process of designing their table.
The Pantarouter enabled me to make all the joinery for this outfeed table and cabinet in a couple of hours; it also allowed me to cut the dovetails for this box in just a few minutes (after the time take to make a good set up).
