    Hey Cliff

    How do you avoid the snipe with the router table as a jointer design you have? I've been battling with a similar setup using an aluminium fence.

    I went home for a couple of days to do some mowing & property maintenance so I grabbed some tools while I was there.

    I have a small trimmer router that takes 1/4" bits so I grabbed that & a handful of useful bits.

    I went to Bunnies & got some pine & swiped an old cutting board from the kitchen (replaced it with a new one) to make a router table.
    Hey Cliff, Thanks for the inspirational posts and I'm glad that I'm not the only one who thieves domestic stuff from the house for the work shop .

    I thought about doing a 2 part fence with packing behind the outfeed side but that would bugger it up as a fence for the saw so I only take a little bit at a time, just a whisker.

    I'm in Hawai'i for a 2 week holiday at present.

    I scored a bookmatched pair of Koa boards today.

    They are each about 400mm long by about 140mm wide & about 4mm thick.

    They are safely wrapped in paper in my suitcase.

    I'll get a photo of them when I get home.

    Home again, caught up with a few things, set up shop in the car garage again, this time I'm doing the sanding out side.

    Before I went to Hawaii, I called in at home & grabbed a couple of things I needed for this project.

    The Dead Finish I had for the fret boards was too green when I cut it to size & thickness sanded it.... it warped badly.

    I grabbed some very dry New Guinea Rosewood & cut that to size & thickness sanded it.

    I also cut up some perspex to make some fret cutting templates.

    NGR in the pic is 40mm x 550mm x 5.8mm I have 4 pieces incase I bugger one or two up along the way.

    The Perspex is 70mm x 560mm x 5.8mm

    Here is a pic of the Koa that I got in Hawaii.

    It isn't for this build.

    Bit of progress.

    Last time I went home I grabbed some perspex to make a fret cutting template.

    I also grabbed a couple of my bottles of U-beaut water dye.

    The brown stain was mixed by adding a bit of Orange to Cedar.

    The Cedar comes out purple on some timber.
