Channel: Small Workshop Guy
Date: 2019-06-02

In this video, we show how easy it is to use a Router and a Router Sled to make a workbench perfectly flat.  This is a great technique to re-flatten your workbench every couple of years.  I am flattening my Samurai Carpenter Workbench in this video.  Simple method - we remove any intimidation factors.  A router sled is useful for flattening live edge boards as well.
