Hello Tom,
Thanks for the pics. We know you have been busy on your DVD's and are looking forward to your finishing the project.
I haven't given up on the template picture frame. Have you noticed, when you have something you are very interested in, life has a way of inserting things to keep you away from it? Recently, I have been dealing with the insurance company. It seems someone wanted the stereo in my truck so they smashed a window and ripped it out of the dash. Oh well! Such is life in the city.

I do have a problem with the depth of cut even using a 1/4" template. I guess I will have to get a bit extender. Do you have a suggestion as to which would be the best to use with female template routing, or, is there some other way to solve the problem?
Thanks for your assistance.

George I am sorry to hear about the missing equipment from your truck I hope it will be settled soon.

George I have never used 'bit extender' for any of my projects. With the larger guide the chuck (Collet) will fit through to give the extra depth required.

I see Harry purchased an extender because he was using a thicker material. I always recommend 1/2" cutters as they are that bit longer and in Harry's case they were not long enough.

My templates are usually 3/8" or 1/2" thick (9mm or 12mm)
Thank you for taking the time to try out the method and I look forward to your final project.
Tom

Tom, thanks for the answer and I am documenting my trials and errors with my camera so I will post some pix when finished.

Bj, I am having a new radio and alarm system installed tomorrow and I also purchased a flood light with sensor and camera system so next time they may get the radio but I will know about it and they will become the star on my latest video.

Hi George

That's good ,I'm sure they will like the new radio you just had new one installed they wait a week or two and then come back for the new one, because they got the 1st one easy.

The video will nice to show the cops so they can see who it is if they don't have a black mask on that is. best to just put your truck in the back yard or in the garage for a bit.
They like new stuff George and they know you will have it replace in a week or so.
SOB's ,I have a bud that got nailed 3 times and he gave up and put in a radio that he could just pull out and take it in the house and left the windows open just a bit on the truck.
The Amps. and the speaker boxes are bolted down with 1/2" bolts so they could not take them with out cutting the cab in two parts

Good LUck

Bj
