Regular readers of this site know of my love of tools. Hand tools, power tools, mechanic's tools, woodworking tools, you name it, I love it, especially if it's made-in-America-drop-forged-3horsepower-3000 rpm-heavy-duty-etc-etc-etc. Well, today I assembled my latest addition: A Craftsman Professional Series, laminate-top router bench. I've had a router for a while, but the addition of the bench is just downright awesome! Whether you're rounding edges or cutting moulding, this thing rocks! Just set the bit height, adjust the fence, feed the stock from right to left and voila, perfect edge.
Of course, now I need an additional router to leave permanently mounted in the bench, plus about 100 new router bits for all the projects I've got in mind. Ahhhh....love means never having to say you have too many tools!

oh boy! does this mean i'll get some molding now??? I promise the chinchillas won't chew it up (of course they'd have a hard time getting up to the ceiling in the first place...)
Hey, how about a step-by-step guide of some projects? Or maybe a "North County Woodworking" blog?
Just an idea...
All we need is for you to pick out the router bit that has the profile you like. Of course, from what I've seen in all the catalogs, there are about a zillion choices.
If I did a step-by-step on one of my projects, do I have to show all the goof-ups too? What I've done to some innocent pieces of wood is just pitiful. I hope the Ents don't notice!
