Ron, that would have to be the plan.  No way can a tech, even with the
table,router, materials, and bits can one make one for only $81! Geez,
just a nice piece of maple from our local hardwood haven store would
charge at least $20-25 bucks for a strip of maple close to that size.
Probably more!  I'd also go with Hughes!

Jack, I too lack a table saw and router.  I have the drill. I can "sneak
in" with permission into the Lied Center's wood shop on occasion to use
their stuffs.  But they lack a huge amount in router things and materials.
Especially small detail stuff like this.  They use it for opera set
building, but mostly the basic 2x4 and plywood stuff. They buy the rest
pre-made as they don't have a "real" wood-worker over there.  Would be
niceŠ.

You know the drill..

Paul
