When you have a router, the possibilities are endless, meaning it can often be tricky to narrow down exactly what you can make. The use of different router bits can achieve great results in terms of detail and shape, so why not explore the different routes that you can take when it comes to woodworking projects?
To successfully make something out of wood is an incredible skill, which is why you should make ample use of this if you’re able to do so. Nothing is more unique than furniture that has been made by yours truly; therefore, you can make your living space that little bit more interesting using your router.
Giant Robot
First up is one for the kids or the tech lovers, and that is a giant robot. Although you may not connect robotics with woodwork, you can successfully make a giant robot using your router. If you don’t fix its arms and legs then they can move too, making it all the more interactive. Having a giant robot in your home is a real statement piece, and certainly a conversation starter. Plus, there’s no one way to make a robot, meaning you can make it completely your own! You can say with confidence that not many of your friends will have anything similar in their home.
Classy Cupboard
The classy cupboard is perfect for boasting a stunning design, as well as the practicality of storage. Whether you keep it in your sitting room, bedroom, or any other room in the house, the classy cupboard is one of the best things that you can make using your router. As previously mentioned, the beauty of making your own pieces is that there’s no one way to do it. Your cupboard may be completely different to anything anyone has ever seen before; however, it may also take inspiration from someone else. Whatever you go for, it doesn’t matter, just do you!
Baby Bed
Of course, you probably shouldn’t place an actual baby in a bed or cot that hasn’t been tried and tested by professionals, but you can make a baby bed for your children’s dolls. Your own invention will likely be much sturdier than anything you can buy from a store and your kids will ultimately be so impressed that you were capable of making such a masterpiece. If you add a rocking feature to the base, your kids will be able to have hours of fun, rocking their doll back and forth to get to sleep.
Floating Boat
Perhaps your little ones aren’t into dolls, and they’d much rather a floating boat to play with. Alternatively, you might simply make a decorative piece; either way, this can be achieved via the use of a router. One of the great things about wood is its buoyant quality that means it’s capable of floating in water. As a result, wood is one of the best materials to make toys out of, especially when considering just how durable wooden toys are. After all, isn’t that what we’re looking for when it comes to entertaining rambunctious little ones?
Wooden Frame with Designs
Whether it’s a traditional picture frame or a mirror, a wooden frame with designs is a great project to embark on with your router. From contemporary designs to classic styles, regardless of your preference, there’s something out there for you. So, consider what would look great in your home and make your very own wooden wall hanging to keep your home looking fresh.
