SS overarm router setup to make bow tie/butterfly inlays
The task make 20 butterfly inlays and route sockets to receive the inlays. With 40 machine operations I thought the quickest and easiest way would be to set up the overarm router. The first step was to make a bow tie template and rout the inlays. I was concerned it wouldn't make it thru 40 operation...

Re: Walking Cane repair & length adjustment
Great job Glenn! Inquiring minds want to know, what is that laser looking gadget on your Mk V and what is it used for? Jack I am not sure what the question is but it is an off the shelf lazier level. Just a tool to be used any way you can think of. https://www.amazon.com/s?k=laser+level&crid=32...

Re: Time for another potpourri thread?
We just discovered on line grocery shopping. Go online order grocery's, set pickup time, call pickup number, they bring grocery order and put them in the car smile say thank you and leave. Amazon will deliver to your door you don't even have to smile and say thank you. How cool is that.
