  • I don’t trust anyone’s opinion unless it’s based on sound evidence and repeatable results and even then, I’ll only trust the opinions of those who are willing to change their opinion based on new knowledge. So, given that, I’ll trust my young kids opinions on things they have researched and learnt about, or a doctor’s opinion if it’s on something they’re knowledgeable about, and my own in areas where I’m an expert.

    How MUCH I trust them is a different thing. If it’s something that doesn’t really affect me if it’s not 100% accurate…meh

  • Because nobody has answered with the other versions of a router, allow me.

    A router (pronounced ROW-ter, like an argument, not as in rowing a boat) is a woodworking tool that digs channels, rebates and moulds on wood. It can be a hand tool (old) or a power tool (modern). The hand tool is primarily a chisel held in a support that is scraped against the wood to make grooves and rebates. The power tool uses a rotating bit that can trim, follow a pattern, groove and rebate or put a moulding on an edge. It is an essential tool for any cabinet maker or kitchen fitter, and very useful for joiners or carpenters too.
