Always forget how long measuring takes. YouTube videos skip this don't they!
Tried out my 1/4" router. Think I need a bit more practise and possibly manage my expectations. I was expecting it to be able to tear up a couple of cm in one go, but it's much more of a bit by bit approach. Could also be the battery running out... given it did run out. I can see why people have corded 1/2" ones.
So back to cutting the bulk of the half laps with a saw... although thinking about it, I may test my circular saw on a test piece to see if that'll speed things up while maintaining consistency - I have 12 to cut out, and only half way through 3. At least I'll be able to tidy up with the router. And in any event I'll need it for some of the shaping after.
Anyway, nice to be trying something new out and hopefully producing something decent at the end. Albeit for a shed.
