Hi,

Thanks for all the responses, but I would like to admit that I'm
absolutely clueless and have never used a router (rather I'm evaluating
whether to get one b/c the number of tasks for which I need one is
growing).

Can you point to a reference that talks about how templates work?

Also, to give me the most basic of ideas, for a task like this: do I
move the router while the wood is stationary or do move the wood while
the router is stationary?

Thanks!

Aaron Fude
