Oh, make a big base plate for it using 1/4 thick acrylic. Or even hardwood will work just harder to see. The day I did that @clinton, my routers became a whole lot more useful! I should have done it...

I have standardised on 1/4” router bits so that they fit all of my routers and I don’t need to swap collets on routers - just another thing to slow you down! I've got one router that can take 1/2" (o...

I have a Von Haus router (lots of other names) with my wide Perspex base attached - it was an open box example and it was only £40 as the new ones were about £60 at the time.

I picked up a second hand DeWalt DW621 just like Mark’s for about £80 on eBay - full working order and there is good spare part availability.

Bosch makes great routers and more than sufficient. I do builds with my laminate trimmer alone with jo problems. I do suggest a plunge base attachment. Believe me, you are gonna wish you got it sooner...

That is just great. Good looking out Boo.

Yup @boo - I've been busy reading, and just caught up with Matt's post. I had a kill switch on a Gibson BFG LP a few years ago. Never used it (swapped it out for more traditional wiring!), but it w...

For my style of playing a permanently on kill switch would help! 🤣 🤣 🤣

*Power Devil* I'm 99% sure that's the make of my original router. Bought in the 1980s sometime (from B&Q!) and still going strong. If that bandsaw is half as good, then you @Robin have got a h...

@tv101 @boo yeah I was wondering what you guys were up to... sounds fun, could be a great thing, keep us posted!

Can we talk about kill switches? What do you want to know @boo? For my style of playing, I don't find them hugely useful, but they're easy enough to implement on a build ...

that truly qualify as genuine improvements? I guess it depends on how you identify/define an "improvement" @eddie6string. The availability of modern tooling allows for more accuracy (the neck/tenon j...

Thanks Matt and Boo. I might look for a more robust one and use this for the profiling jobs. Cheers, Russ 🙂🙏🎸🎶

I'd like Mark's opinion on any design/component/construction changes made to guitars since the mid 1950s, that truly qualify as genuine improvements? e.g. In the mid 1970s my friend had a well known g...

ooops... @eddie6string

@eddiesixstring Don't knacker the Lacquer ' is a must for rear Tee shirt print. 😂👍👍👍🤘🤘

So disappointed that I had to leave live stream today. Just watched and liked. Full of useful things patiently explained! 'Don't knacker the Lacquer ' is a must for rear Tee shirt print. Thanks again ...

@robin Great guy that boo, rock that Power Devil Robin!
