That could be a very cool option to get what you are aiming for - keep us updated on that project. I also need to have a look at the little guide bearing attachment that came with my trimmer to see if that could be employed accordingly here.

Maybe just as well your not in Brizzy. I'd likely become a serial pest!
Yes, we love it here - a beautiful place to live. Ha! I'm sure i wouldn't consider you as a pest. I don't think we would get much work done though, as we'd have a lot to talk about.

I guess I want to say is you might want to consider the smaller tools as well. If I had make a template I think it would be a perfectly acceptable way of doing it. You obviously have router experience though and I’m sure you know what you are doing, but I thought I’d just put it out there.
Thanks DM - appreciate the reminder about the little guy. You can get some really cool attachments for the dremels as well. Will keep this in mind though, thank you mate.
