I saw your blog and was pretty impressed. That also might be the way to go just post a link to your blog from the forums.

The most important guide to purchase is the 40mm Not the 16-18mm one supplied with the router. For a start you can use a greater variety of cutters that will fit through the 40mm guide therefore increasing the number of processes you are capable of doing.
I certainly have had a go at a number of blogs and you will find some of the projects listed there. SOME Projects in my opinion that can only be completed with the router in the plunge mode with the aid of template guides.
Here are a few blogs I have tried out since Rick and Bob introduced me to Blogging

Have a look at some of the projects. The people you see in the photographs are from My class of 2005 at the Association for the Blind They were responsible for producing the various projects using the template guide method, Some were partially blind but a few were totally blind. Yes I did produse all the templates and jigs before they began to rout the various projects.
As I said To all "TRY THEM FOR YOURSELF"
The introduction to the guides has been posted on this forum for all to make a copy.
