For many years I've been planning to build a router table which would form the basis of a comb jointer. I have a scrap router - just a cheap B&Q one - with a faulty power switch, so ideal for mounting in a table along with a NVR switch. It's only 1/4", but for an initial experiment (a proof of concept), I'm sure it will be fine. I've several wood-working books that are very inspiring - it seems to me that the secret to routing is in the jig making - that applies to many other wood-work power tools, of course.
I'm self-taught when it comes to wood-work, but happily there is so much out there on the internet. http://woodgears.ca/ has been one of my favourite sites for about 10 years now, and I just wish I had all that space and nice timber to play with! Be warned - a visit to that site is not going to be brief!
Colin, I haven't forgotten about those photos you sent me a while back, and I will get them uploaded soon. The last month has been rather busy, and there's no sign of any let-up soon. I fully intend to write up my recent DIY endeavours - once the new boiler has been installed (brrrr!)
Thanks for the continued inspiration,
Mark
