I've been doing it wrong...
In a previous video, I explained a very detailed (yet way too complicated) process for making router trays. What can I say, it was my first time! The process worked great, but there were just too many bits, steps, and tools involved. Since then, I’ve made a lot more serving trays using my router templates. And with that, gained a lot more experience and came up with a much simpler process. You don't need a bandsaw and you don't need a router table. Just a handheld router and a jig saw!
