You betch'a,
I hold mine between my knees and cut stuff all the time. The orbital action makes it easy. My table saw is still a twinkle in my eye.

Actually Ray I dropped the saw once and cut "anything else" right off. Keeps Mrs. Poobah off my back so I have more time to work...

Try using paste wax on the posts of your plunge router, works well, not a messy as graphite, won't collect dust like oil will. I keep a tin in the shop comes in handy for a number of things.

Poobah--Trading your "anything else" for more time in the shop makes me ambivalent.....sort of like watching your mother-in-law go over the cliff in your new convertable.

The paste wax I use is `Minwax Finishing Paste Wax' not the cheapest stuff, but the tin has lasted quite awhile, anything similar like floor wax will do.

Ray,
I have a firm policy around here... I won't so much as hang a picture around here without some new and expensive tool...

Sage advice.......grasshopper shall follow the path of wisdom.

Lamar Steen from Tempe, Az. designed a biplane-the Steen Skybolt-that I considered building before I elected to build the Starduster Too.....many years ago. I met him in Oshkosh, Wi. at the E.A.A. fly-in in 1975. Do you know if he is still around?

I also had a ham radio license-K4DEL-and am in the investment business.

The ham stuff sits pretty silent for now. I have an HT44/SX117/HT45.
My son is rebuilding a Piper Cub, but in real life he flies a Hawker 800. Met his girlfriend at Oshkosh. We also have an Aztec. I just admire the view while he flies.

My ham rig consisted of a Globe Scout, SX99, homebrew modulator, and a Grounded Grid 500W power amp built from a schematic in the ARRL handbook. My primary interest was antennas...primarily Quqds. I sold my rig in 1963.
The Starduster I built is below. It now resides in Washington state after living in England for a few years.

I put Bob's pix on the TECH-DIY.COM website (www.tech-diy.com/Tools/RouterJigs) . This should be one of those reader suggestions to Fine Woodworking". Here's more informationfrom an email Bob sent yesterday (which I post as he is away for a couple days: "The key to the jig is the 3/4 inch wide by 3/16 inch thick by 4 inches long piece of mild steel. Just drill and tap two holes for the knob, 1/4 or 5/16 inch thread depending on the knob you get, drill one 1/8 inch hole at the end for the 1/8 inch spring pin, also known as a roll pin. Cut the apropriate dado and slot, and bingo circle cutting jig. The one shown cuts circles from 1-1/8 to 33 inch diameter and anything in between.
