    Great looking work Tom! I really like the table and the serving tray. How easy is it to use those template guides? I've seen them in magazines, but always wondered how difficult they would be to use. That serving tray would make a wonderful gift item to give family and friends! Thanks for sharing your project pics, your pieces are beautiful.

    Looks like you have template cutting down to a science! Nice work.

    Once you understand the procedures of using the guides then it is quite easy to do.
    For the posted articles I made the templates then they were constructed by people who have vision impairment or in some instances totally blind.

    I have spent the last twenty years working on them so I suppose I do have them mastered.

    I am still convinced that if you are not using the router withe template guides you are not using it to it's full potential.

    You may have some questions you would like to ask please fire away though as from today I will be on the other side of Australia visiting family for the next three weeks. You may like to keep your questions until I return.

    The pics are only a 'Tip of the iceberg' so to say as to what is capable with the use of the guides.

    Hear from you when I get back
