I saw Bob R. use Skis on his router the other day while making his Fern Table Stand!
The fern stand legs were half-lapped and then tapered.
He made a jig for the tapering, but the Key to using it was that he put his Ski runners directly to his square plunge router plate... he used dbl. sided tape to afix the wood skiis (maybe 3/4" high & 6" long).
Worked like a charm! 
I can see some good advantages to using those skiis! 
I am going to make a set... to flatten some small pieces that need it... Very flexible method / tool. Home Depot a good place to look for the rods?? |
Joe, I haven't caught that show yet but it doesn't surprise me. Bob and Rick are true pioneers in routing in my opinion. They have been using a template holder complete with blocking and screw jacks for many years. Going to have to catch that show! I wish Bob R. enjoyed using a computer... he could teach us all a few things!
