Hi guys,

Tada!  I finally made my shopmade router D-handle base. I’ve been thinking about that for months. I was inspired by Carol Reed’s design.

The sub-base is made out of 3/8”-thick Plexi and the handle is nothing but two pieces of scrap plywood glued together. Two short afternoons spent in the shop and it was done. I wonder why I waited so long.

No more tipping in sight when milling edges.

Take a look at the details and short videos on my website, build you own and show us you work.

NB: On this side of the border, the P-C D-handle base is over $100 CAN.

When retired, you don’t have much money… but you have more time!

Best,

Serge
