The attached picture shows a clock I’m building and you can see the front/back frames in 3/4” plywood where all gears etc. are attached. I used a jigsaw to cut these frames and I was not careful enough so I have to re do them using my router now.
The drawings I have are in 8.5”x14” format and to preserve the originals I’m making copies for any work I need. First I will make copies which I will glue to a pressboard for the template. After gluing I will have to trim the pressboard all around by 1/8” to allow for the bushing on the router.
Then I will make another copy which I will glue to the 3/4” plywood and on top of the plywood I will align/secure the template for the actual cutting.
I don’t know if its necessary to have another copy on the plywood but I feel its better to be able to see exactly what you cut. I will be using a hand held router.
Does this sound good? Haven’t done much routing for some time and I wonder.
