How many of you have and/or still encounter the heebie jeebies when you use routers/lam trimmers on tops/b/s?
You know, that large bit cutting into your primo addi top with your best rosette ever or cutting into incredible b/s, with perfect bend and perfect wood?

Using a router is all attitude, just like training crocodiles. You are the boss from the very beginning, and never loose your concentration.

It still kinda freaks me out! But I just do the set up carefully and take my time, and it all seems to work out. Having a good binding jig helps a lot!
