I dont mind the cold weather, matter of fact, I prefer it to the nasty heat we get here. It just sucks that I cant get these done as soon as I want. And who says I'm paying for this router table? //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif Gotta love nieghbors who are editors for woodworking magazines...

So ... When you going to send a router table my way ? //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/naughty.gif.94359f346c0f1259df8038d60b41863e.gif//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/yumyum.gif.0556df42231b304b9c995aefd13928a8.gif

Factory screws. Along the bottom part of the black leather top piece there a re several plastic posts that screwed into the original bottom half of the panel. I'm just going to reuse those posts and screws...

All kinds of problems today...

First I wake up and remember I have a stats test...

Then get home and stufy for my Bio test in an hour from now...

I take a break when my neighbor gets home with my new router bits, a 45* miter and a flush trim...BUT they're 1/2" shank and I need 1/4" shank...

Hes confused and thought that they should fit the table but realized he gave me a universal table that you mount your router to...BUT when we tried to mount it, my router doesnt fit it...

So...either a new router, or new table, AND new bits...I cant catch a break today...no real progress till friday when I can redo the handles and start some shaping...

Update!!!

Today was "key-hole and test fit" day...heres the pics...

My 2 dozen attempts to see what steps worked best...

Door panel all cut out...

5/8" Foster bit counter-bore shot...

All my ducks in a row...

5/8" Hole-saw for the cut-through and then a wood chisel to clean up the sides...

After boring out the middle, you get this...

'Nother close up...

Overall shot...

And the damage those lil f*ckers did to my finger...

Mock-up with top piece...

Got the handle cut-out and went for a test fit...

It didnt sit flush here 'cause I still havnt cut out the speaker...

Thats it for today...
