This thread was reported to me by a member, where and how far is going to go? Am I to moderate it?

that said, I think a topic on Template Guides would be great BUT I would suggest you bring your tutorials down just a bit you are to smart and you know way to much and your URLs/post show that and it's hard for me to read and follow some of them or to say you tell to much, you need to made it simple.

Pickup a copy of computer help for dummies and you will get the ideal, maybe you should write a book called Woodworking Router Help for Dummies..

PLEASE take this the right way Tom

Bob You have always been a great source of information and you have the knowledge of how to put it over.

No problem Bob I have submitted a paper in the paste 'Introduction to the use of Template Guides' and it is still available for anyone who may still wish a copy. I have purchased Video camera and once I am able to master it i will have short videos available for viewing, as it has been said in the past once you see how it is done then it is easy. Theses are the comments i get when I demonstrate at our local Wood show here in Western Australia each year.

Maybe Mark will set up the template guide copy in the near future. It has been said by a sub editor of a woodworking magazine a number of years ago the method I am using is too revolutionary and not what readers are doing. He did not take up the offer of me submitting articles on a regular basis and that prompted me to write a book on the subject.

I'd definatly be willing to setup a copy if you can provide me with one. Let me know.

Hi Mark

"Am I to moderate it?"
No I don't think so

I was not giving Tom a bad time, I admire Tom and he is so far ahead of me and others and I was just trying to help, I sorry if other members where offended, I know Mike/Joe may have thought I was but I was not .

AGAIN I SORRY if I offended anyone of the members.
Please take my apology for my big mouth.

It's amazing that everyone on the forums speaks English. It's all the same language but each country has it's own flavor.(sic flavour) The way language is used in different areas means there will be misunderstandings, even with common words. One thing remains undisputed: A picture is worth a thousand words. Once you see a photo of Tom's method the lightbulb will flash on... it will make perfect sense to everyone. At least this is my take on it.
BJ, I understood perfectly what you were saying. It's the same language but spoken differently and it does generate confusion.

Here is a copy of 'Introduction to Template Guides' for those who may be interested

Tom,

Thank you!!

After reading it the second or third time (for me), I found that it sank in better & I could understand more what you were saying and your pictures, etc.

In fact, after a few more careful readings & study, I will probably get more & more out of it!

Those Template guides are pretty powerful...

Thank you for pounding your point 'home'.

Tom, thanks for the PDF, mind if I sticky it on certian forums for other members to download?

template tom · 09-21-2006, 07:25 AM

Mark

I have no objections to you listing it as a Sticky all I want to do is to alert all to the advantages of the guides and to the enjoyment that will be obtained with their use if they were to at least give them a try.
