Glue ith thertainly convenient, but thitcheth are tho much more thatithfying in my exthperienth. Oh. You meant for the wood. My mithtake.
Oh they work just fine with timber... drift stitches. just drill some holes in either piece of timber and join with cable ties.
Same principal for my permanent P90 template. The fugly black one in the first photo. It's all square edges, just pieced together. looks akward, but it works a treat. Never bothered to even trim down the sides haha but I've used it a number of times as is.
And the tele templates in the same photo, I just printed them out 100% scale and glued onto MDF scrap. Then hogged the majority and filed to the lines.

I have some round-over routing to do soon which I've not done before (until some test pieces yesterday).
All my routing experience has been "internal" like pickup routes etc, so outer edge stuff has my anxiety up a bit. (no pun intended)
I really, really, really can't afford any stuff ups or tear out on this project, so I'll keep practising! I'll probably end up with every spare scrap of wood in my shed with rounded edges!

If you can find some with similar grain and then more specifically grain orientation - then you'll get in the ballpark for which direction(s) you need to use.
I'm sure you understand the theory, but practice is where it pays off.
I don't think tear out is too much of a problem on a round over bit - it's more burning, which is easily cleaned up with some sanding. What are you working on? Guitar related? Huh, huh?

I should have been more specific as I was thinking about having to route across the grain (end grain) but didn't say so in my last post.I don't think tear out is too much of a problem on a round over bit - it's more burning, which is easily cleaned up with some sanding.

I've seen videos about the climb cutting (and another similar technique called bump cutting). I did some more playing around today and have a better idea on how to go about what I want.
As for the project, not a guitar but a 1 x12 pine speaker cabinet. I'm still waiting on a couple of bits & pieces, but will post the progress once it's started.

Last bit of action for 2021, rough contouring and beveling.
Had almost given up on this one, but thought I better give it a bit of attention. I reckon I've now got some wind in the sails again.
