I am trying to begin my adventure in woodworking and I'm reading and watching video as much as I can. Right now I am watching a Video series called
The Router a beginners guide which is made by The Guild of Master Craftsman publications. They say it might be best for a beginner to start out with one
of the smaller routers. Right now I am looking at these two.

http://www.amazon.com/Makita-RP0900...ower-hand-tools&ie=UTF8&qid=1329663303&sr=1-5
I would like the members advice on what they think. I respect the opinions of the members and value your input. I am leaning toward the Dewalt.
The smaller routers may be good for me because last year I had a ceiling fall on me while I was sleeping and it crushed four vertebra in my neck.
It caused nerve damage in my left arm and it is not as strong as my right. Even after surgery ( they inserted rods and plates and replaced some disc )
it hasn't gotten much better. Sorry for the long post.

P.S.....Within the next month I am going to build bunk beds for my sons. I got the plans from Matthias Wandel's website.
