Just thought I'd introduce myself Name is Ken and I live in sunny Florida..

I have been routing for over 20 years but never really understood the routers use...

Well thanks to Rick and Bob... I turn to the router and think ROUTER before all other tools....

I had to fit a 4' by 4' plywood to the back of a cabinet which had sides that were slightly bowed... Rather than hit and miss I clamped the board to the back and used the router with flush trim bit to get it to fit
AS BOB WOULD SAY THE FIRST TIME - AND ISNT IT NICE WHEN IT FITS

Thanks guys!!

Ken

Magazine holders w/ router

I just finished this project a few minutes ago....

I needed magazine holders and the stationary store wanted way too much money.

1"x4" Pine I get from local contractors as cut offs so it is free and the
thinest Masonite (hard board) is as cheep as paper about $2.25 for a 4'x4' square so the total cost is 37 cents each for half a dozen.

Made the template on the band saw and clamped it like Bob and Rick...

I did not glue it in case I get some scrap cherry or walnut which I will replace the sides....

So a quick and easy (and cheep) project for keepeing control of the Wood Working magazines.....

Hi Ken,

That's a slick cool simple way of doing it!

Thanks for sharing! Nice project!

Now, you have to build a book case so you have shelves to put them on!
