To date, the only router I've used for routes on electric neck pockets, pickup and control cavities, and dovetails on acoustics, is a 2 horse Porter Cable plunge - and I wouldn't have done any of them without it, frankly! Before I got alternative methods for doing purfling and binding routes, I used...

I hear ya - Truth be told, the most satisfying version of this I ever did was an electric that I really and truly didn't want to have to screw with all the finish removal and sanding of; so I told the guy I'd spray it, if he strips it, sands it, and pore seals it - And he said yes!

I do repairs and mods, but I don't make a habit of doing too much of them, or it quickly becomes drudgery, ya know? I charge $45 an hour for shop time, not including parts and materials.

Now, I am indeed pretty close to Arkansas, and I still need to wet a fly line in that White River of yours, Ron - 'Record Brown Trout' is all I need to hear to know that! And Ann Arbor, huh? Still cold up there or did you get thawed yet? Yeah, we kinda built ...

Amen, my Brother, Amen!

Urb

Thank you Sir! Lookin' forward to it.

And I love your quote - I use 'Faith, Family, and Friends; everything else falls somewhere after...'

Eben Atwater, aka Urban Sludgewater here, offering greatings from Texas, across the Big Pond. My good friend Kim invited me herein, so how could I say no? FYI on me; I've been building for about 8 years, my output so far in electrics and acoustics stands somewhere in the early 20s - I don't serializ...
