So I've been neglecting this blog a while...

But I have been keeping a blog elsewhere for the eyes of other builders!

But as R2 makes progress and people are starting to ask, I figured I'd update this blog for all to see again :)

Router table made!

I'm lucky enough to know someone with their own workshop and measures in microns, not millimeters!  When I presented him with my router table plans he decided he could do a better job...

So, after measuring my router and knocking up a quick CAD file, he'd built me a virtual router table which was then sent to a CNC drill and holes measured perfectly!



Very pleased with it.  I used the measurements from the "Tools and Techniques" file in Dave's plans and instead of having rough cut holes, I'll be using a 3.4mm router bit and then a 4.2mm bit for the finishing cut.

I haven't had a chance to give the router table a go yet, but I have had my A1 prints delivered!

Here's the first piece (not glued)



I'll be hopefully cutting out circular pieces tonight and getting ready for the frame.
