2023 Christmas Challenge,

The Router Ready Project,

The DIY Beginner woodworker doesn’t want the 1/2 inch Rabbeting Bit that sits in the drawer; they want the knowledge to make a router-made jewelry box that they can show off to Friends and Relatives. With that, we are offering the “Router Ready Projects” with pre-cut material for a small project that will teach router techniques needed to master the Router.

Pre-cut wood pieces to be routed.

Limited Custom and Numbered Kits

To launch the “Router Ready Projects” I have developed a plan to offer a limited edition of “lesson 2” of “Router Ready Projects.” Each of the full-color custom-made packages comes with one of ten finished projects by me, Rick Rosendahl, the Router Workshop.

I have designed and developed 10 project kits that are numbered 1 to 10 with a hand-made finished magic box made of butternut in each kit. Also in the kit is one White Ash, Cherry, and Walnut pre-cut six box pieces ready to be routed, retail value of the TRW numbered boxes is set at $300.00 each. The retail price for each kit is $2,000.00 US including the numbered and signed butternut magic box.

A Trading Tool,

I will be using these as a trading tool for each of the winners of the “2023 Router Project Christmas Challenge” This challenge is about finding my next custom router-made Christmas Gift for my personal 2023 list. I am looking for a small router-made project that can be used as a gift for my list.

Rules to Submit Your Project:

  1. I am looking for a Desk-Organizer and it must be your original design,
  2. This project holds a minimum: 1) Cell Phone, 2) Pens and Pencils, and 3) Business Cards,

Zoom Coaching,

Each kit comes with one-on-one Zoom Coaching with Rick Rosendahl, the Router Workshop. These are 4 – 15 minute Zoom Events where we can discuss routers-related questions to lesson 2 the Magic Box. These discussions will be about table-mounted routers and the uses of the 3/8 inch Rabbeting bit, Rabbeting joint, shiplap joint, and molding the Magic Box.
