well actually these are pictures of my first and second projects. I originally got the router to do the hinge and latch mortises for the new doors I installed. Then I decided to go ahead and make the headers and fluted casings to try out different techniques with the router. It was a pretty good learning experience.

Good job.. Looks like that was how it was built in the first place..

Hi Greg

Very NICE JOB

Did you know that you can get rosette cutters ?, but you did a great job making your own with the templates you made

When you do this great type of work, it makes you want to do the rest of the doors and frames in the house.

Thanks Mike and Bob.

I saw the rosette cutters at grizzly and MLCS, but I decided I would try to figure out how to do as much of the project as I could with my router, and I was able to use the same bit I got for the flutes...plus I was sort of on a jig making frenzy!

I got four doors done and seven more to go, then I'll start on the window frames. The only bad part is that I seem to be developing this strange addiction to using MDF

Hi Greg

"strange addiction to using MDF" ME TOO

,,, It's neat stuff and you can use it all and no wast so to speak, and you don't need to care about the grain of the wood

it's all the same .

Really nice Greg.

When you get yours done and feel you need more experience, I have 7 that could be done.

Plus an arch way that might look nice with that trim.

**challagan** · 05-14-2007, 08:53 PM

You did great Greg, nice work!

Excellent job Greg. Keep up the good work.

**harrysin** · 05-15-2007, 01:41 AM

A job well done Greg., hopefully more and more members will start to use template guides, they open up heaps of new possibilities for the router.

Bob, regarding rosette cutters, am I right in thinking that these are for use in a drill press only?

**bobj3** · 05-15-2007, 10:01 AM

Hi Harry

They are made to be used in the drill press BUT they have a true 1/2" shank, so one could use them in the 3 1/4HP plunge router at low speeds....with a BIG hole in the base plate...or no base plate at all.they only need to go down 1/2" to 5/8" deep the norm.

OR
You can make your own, it's alot cheaper to make your own cutter,see links below.
