Can anyone suggest how to rout a pattern like this on a box lid, or if not, is anyone interested in learning how to?

Hi Harry

LOL, is that a trick question

I would like to see your flip over template ...and your pictures pls...

I should note that I formated a spot in my head to store yours and Tom's templates ,so to say I need INPUT

It's not a trick question Bj and there is no flip over template, it's much easier than that and there is no way that one can lose fingers in the process. Before divulging Tom's very clever method, let's first see if anyone else would like to try.
Whilst I'm waiting it wouldn't surprise me if you Bj were to come up with the answer.

You are quite right Bj, the one shown today is the box with mitred corners and there is a shot of another one with box joints. You sure have a good memory and the fact that you saw the shots some time ago means that you have had heaps of time to figure out how to rout that pattern. I wonder if there is anyone else interested in seeing how it's done.

Harry,

Why tease us by asking if anyone is interested? Post the thing.... of course there is interest

And yes.... we are still friends

It 'could' be done using just a fence guide & a plunge router...

... but, somehow, I think you are going to say "by using a template!"

Hi Harry, Doyle here.
sure I would like to know!
At this time there is no way I can try it. I have the kitchen doors on my mo-chines drying after painting. Waiting to install the glass --- a honey do...
Take care Doyle

Knowing both Toms and your pension for use of templates,

I would hazard a guess that you made up two templates as per pics below. Using your plunge router frame, you would simply route each profile twice, on each edge of the project piece by flipping the template to the other side. The end result, is your box lid pattern.
