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.

RichardM Email them to me. PM for address or my first name @ my last name .net - I'll upload for you to my webspace (as I have done with those ones) if you want.
derrilex Sorry for the late reply - Aus day dinner. I'll have a crack using photobucket ( thanks lacehim) and if it goes tits up I'll PM you tomorrow.
derrilex Dont tempt me AM. You're to blame. You set the challenge, now I'm hooked. Thought the "tamper docking station" would be best to perfect first given the differences in PF's although I'm working on a generic design for them too. When I can get the production time from start to finish down a bit more I'll be happier although its pretty good at the moment.
Dry_bean Not wanting to sound petty but I made one of these blocks almost 10 years ago and have been using ever since, I introduced it on coffee snobs about 2 years back http://coffeesnobs.com.au/YaBB.pl?num=1259976500/10#10 Credit where credit is due. 😉
