Hello everyone, I am a photographer that has ventured into the custom matting scene, but would like to get into making my own frames as well.
From what I have read from here (didnt find any articles too close to my request) and other places, I will need a Router Table, Router, and an assortment of bits. With everything out there, what brand(s) do everyone swear by? Table specifications that make this work easier? What are the few bits nobody should live without?
I figure a rabbit to fit my router is the most important, next I would want to get one or two versatile bits for everything else and build up from there. Lastly, any recommended makers/suppliers for these? I've been to Rockler.com and they have what seems like a nice assortment of items.
I'd like to start out with the basics and dont want to drop too much into this possible venture. Of course I want to do it all right with the finest workmanship.
Thank you for your time, I look forward to getting into framing and am glad to see such a wonderful resource of knowledgeable people!
John
