Free-hand

Post by ExtraMile »

And first time for me to use a hand held router and might I add, not a plunge type. It is an el-cheapo trim router from HF.

I am diggin it :D

Great work! You are an artist. When I try using a router free hand, it goes where it wants, not where I want it to go.

Thank you. My inspiration, came from a fellow who has been making signs like this, for 46 years, out of the back of his vehicle. He is known as the Gourmet Termite ;) He travels to and from, Florida (winter months) to Pennsylvania. Google him and you might find him!

Just to 'clarify', he be referring to the 'termite'. :D

Besides, my router also has it's independent sense of direction. :rolleyes:

Off-color, but funny in my book!

See one and all, like I said in my thread 'How far' I will be attending and vending at 'farm show' soon and I want to draw attention from a wide array of age groups.

So, I think this next sign will draw in, the younger generation... lol!

Wa-cha-think?
