That's not mine, it is EDM_Fixer's picture he tried to post, but it didn't work for him. That's why nobody knew what he meant when he wrote this:

Harry, a follow up on the wire EDM. I found some pieces that we burned as demos for the EDM. One piece is ¾"x1"x1½" and the other one is ¾"x1"x2½" (19.05x25.4x38.1 mm & 19.05x25.4x63.5 mm for down unders.) The pictures show a number one burnt on one end and a number 2 burnt on the other. All this is taking place at the same time. The top and lower guides are moving independently of each other. I think the two was being burnt on the top side while the botton was saying, I'm going to burn a one. The outline of the state of Ohio was burnt out of hardened steel, about two inch square an ⅛" thick. All this goes back to Jims post #4. Cutting a square on top and a circle on the bottom. The piece with the #1&2 are made out of Aluminium, and no, I don't remember how long it took to burn them. My guess wood be about 4 hours.

That is so clever Dave and the finish looks quite smooth. One of these days I hope to find a place that does this type of work and when I do I shall not be too shy to go in and ask to watch a machine in action.

The best advice that I can give a newcomer to routing is, learn to use the router mounted, this can be as simple as a board held in a vice, with the router firmly attached and a simple fence held with clamps, and when he/she feels competant and confident in it's use and is familiar with all aspects of safety, THEN, and only then proceed to learn how to use the router hand held. This is MY opinion, and may or may not coincide with that of the forum management, but is based on a lifetime of woodworking.
