Router being used to almost final cut the part. Not such good idea – wasted a lot of time on this.

Read an article in Airsports where the production process used an overhead router working on the part packed above the template that rode on a peg (aligned with the router bit) and though why not give it a try.
The concept was to use a piloted router bit to cut to the template, I wrapped a couple of layers of electrical tape around the pilot bearing to give a little bit off extra to the edges beyond the template. The idea being to file to final cut using the vixen file. Issues encountered were:
In retrospect not a good idea!

Had a couple of days between flights on the way home. Landed at John Wayne International (near Disneyland) from Chicago and stayed local (cheap Hoilday Inn) till my LAX departure.
A mid morning, lunch and afternoon down at the sea plane base was a great break from the hustle and bustle of the main show, snoozing on the grass next to the lake for a hour or so.
