Please excuse my stupidity Harry but I'm not able to find your posting on ski routing. could you give me a link ? I tried the Search button. Alternatively any comments here about the technique ? I am currently completing the chapter on 'Routing Techniques' in my book and just updating the Ski routing entry. As far as I understand it, long bars are pushed through the router base (in place of the straight fence bars) and height adjustable "feet" attached and then the router cutter lowered to surface trim the workpiece ? I use a method called "Flush trimming/skimming" whereby the same action is achieved by running the router set up with a guide bush alog two parallel box section bars mounted above the workpiece in a custom build cradle.

If anyone has any novel router techniques that I might include, I would like to hear about them. Anything I use, naturally a credit will be given in the book.

Many of my threads and posts show ski routing, "Another project from Harry"
in today's posts demonstrate one use for the skis but if you click anywhere on "Harrysin" there are options to view all my threads and view gallery, both, particularly "planing with the router" demonstrate the use of skis. The complicated adjustable Aluminium ones that I saw several years ago are not suitable for making by the average woodworker but the ones that I use which were designed by Tom O'donnell certainly are, several to my knowledge have been, using threaded rod as a simple way to try the system, one member has made a very nice variation that did not require threads on the rods. I think that Tom is due home tomorrow after a six week holiday. Are you on Skype?
