    The morning's effort:








    Carefully measured the distances to my guides/stops for the router --- oops ... 3 inches from the center of the bit to the edge of the router does not take into account the radius of the bit (3/4"). Let's subtract half of that and try again. This is the "before" pic:







    The result:












    No fancy Crysis Gloves, but I did have my proper footware:

    I risk my life using a router, and all you guys care about is my mud ninja boots Since flip flops are my normal footwear, I just wanted to show I was observing saftey rules!

    Thanks for the comments, guys - hoping to have some actual cuts of Alumin-eee-um in the next day or two.

    Yes, I win! MUD NINJA BOOTS.

    Ah, you're a flip-flop-er-er.

    Glad you were routing safely!

    Can't wait for the results

    Really enjoyable to watch the way you present things, shazza

    ...and it looks like we should chalk another one up for router love.

    It's funny you mention that about the flip-flops, I forgot to wear shoes a couple of time and that's all i had. i felt like i was walking on needles for the next couple of days! metal filings /= FTW.

    Shazza working with wood? Even if it is MDF, my eyes scarcely believe what I am seeing...

    I hope your husband is pleased now that he is an internationally known star.

    I did laugh when I saw your comments - the boots were for safety, but also really helped minimize the after effects of a backache from bending over the table.

    Thanks Cpt ... I spared you all the practice pieces from the past week. I tried for days to make nice rounded corners with the jigsaw on the template - just couldn't get it right. One key phrase in CyberDruid's guide to cutting a window is if you happen to be a craftsman and have the skill and ... So, I've had to adapt.

    Yikes - I can imagine. I also wore a respirator because the MDF sprays all over the place.

    Believe it, voigts! I told you I was inspired by your log. Of course, I'm just trying to make a window template now, but who knows where the future goes.

    I'd be dead if Lou knew I posted that photo, but happy to report he is recovering nicely from the surgery. 6 more weeks of keeping his shoulder immobilized - needless to say, watching me do my cutting is testing his patience, as he could have done it in a jiffy. But, he's been very helpful.

    So, now I have a decision point - ideally I'd like a bit more radius to my corner curves, but may go with what I have. I'm not too comfortable with the idea of working with larger router bits. Still debating if I'm ready to try the using the template to cut some aluminum.

    So have you tried your window template yet?????
    You should just spray it black and prop it up on the side of your case to take some pictures

    hehe ... yah, I tried it. It looks okay. Another thing CyberDruid did was put the window in the right place on his template - I had to put it in the center to give me good stability for the router, so it looks a bit odd on the side of the case

    ??? Not following you, Wezly. No issue using the template, I just have to place it appropriately on the side panel, since the side panel sits under the template for the next step.

    Routers and router tables seem to be the IN power tool at the minute.
    Looking forward to seeing pics of your finished side panel.

    I meant if the window was off because you couldn't secure the board, you could route before you cut it square, and then... cut it square...

    Ugh, why am I failing at english today....?

    A router works great w/ aluminum, depending on the bit.

    What bit are you using, Shaz?
