LIke other new arrivals, I thought it appropriate to heed the advice of the forum gods and introduce myself. I'm a "late arrival" woodworker, having taken up the hobby after retiring as a college teacher. I belong to a club and share a well-equipped shop with other woodworkers. But I own my own Porter-Cable 690 with both bases. I've used the 690 for several projects (cutting mortises, as well as routing grooves, edge treatments, etc.), but recently bought a bushing set for a template routing. I want to learn about that in particular. At the same time, I'd be pleased to share with others what I've learned over the past couple of years.

Hello jihhwood, and welcome to the routerforums. Congrats on retirement. Glad to have your experience on our forum. Having put up with all those college kids, you are entitled to some rest and relaxation. So be "SAFE" and enjoy your new hobby.
