Hello!

Hope the finger heals quickly, Dave. I think it's a
good thing that you've posted that- It's a reminder to
us all that tools can be v. v. dangerous! Glad you got
away with that one without too much damage.

Thanks for that link, also. I'm madly looking around
for a router bit to cut trailing edges. Not easy to
find. Good to hear your getting more use out of the
router, I imagine it will save you a lot of time and
yield consistent sticks.

Glenn.
