derrilex Maybe 30 for a naked PF but with the spouts mine is 70 ish. I cut the bottom out aswell to make it easier to clean

I know plenty of other tradesmen that are missing fingers from routers, dangerous machines. As a tradie and OH&S rep I know just how dangerous exposed fast spinning blades can be. I would usually take 2 or 3 different cuts to get this depth with the router at work. The wood milling machine on the other hand..............
derrilex I took about 10 cuts to get to final depth. Little bit at a time as you do when free handing a big router. Whats your trade Ronin ?
Ronin 17 years as an Engineering Patternmaker Like a Toolmaker but with timber and fiberglass instead of metal.
derrilex Cool. I nearly did tool making as my first trade but got swallowed by the motor industry. Second trade was welding and fab, 3rd trade and current business is carpenter
RichardM Right. I redid it. Tamp stand V2.0 I'm still not happy with my woodwork skills. Made from old recycled Karri floorboards (hence the epoxy at the back because they are *just* not deep enough). I need better tools. All this was done with a drop saw, a dremel, and a $10 set of hole saws.
