One of the tricks in his instructional video was not to let the router bit bottom out in the collet before tightening down. The collet is built to pull the bit down as it gets tighter. He recommended putting a small bit of foam rubber or other material that would hold the bit off the bottom but still compress as the collet is pulled tight. Marc,

Not that big of a deal to make another one. But the real tricky part would be getting both templates aligned perfectly so that when you flip it over, you don't have a slight variance.

Now,I noticed on your danger zones that if you put a piece of ply on both sides, marked the grain line with a sharpie on the ply, then flipped the piece over to get the grain from the other side/direction, you won't have to fight the problem. Does this make sense? Tom Hi,

But I don't actually have a shaper. If I ever find a realistic way of getting this information documented in video, I most certainly will. Would love to John. But I don’t actually have a shaper.

Sure, you have to duplicate the template first, but after that you can flip top to bottom easily. (Oh, and if you're going to include slow-motion video of Nicole, there has to be at least one gratuitous hair-toss shot. Perhaps you can rig the cyclone to blow air for extra effect) Hey Marc – on the laziness aspect, not sure who it was but I saw someone route a piece that had the template both on the top and the bottom.

I think the new design/curve for the legs is better. One question.. I found the video on the home page to be very choppy. Did you cut the frame rate when encoding this episode? Or is it maybe my system/network... ...art ps: Floss. ;-) Hey Mark, looks like this’ll be a great table when done. I think the new design/curve for the legs is better.

Makes those trips seem not quite as bad, like they do when it's some old coot. ;) And Nicole won't bug you as much about going, either. And don't forget the Nitrous ... Hey, Marc,

Oh and I have a scary story. I was doing template work, without a table, on the pergola tails ( http://www.flickr.com/photos/stonyhollowwoodworks/538090123/ ). I slipped when I had a two inch pattern bit in the router..running. They explode! After I changed my britches, I chucked up another pattern bit and proceeded with much more caution.
