    Fantastic ingenuity my friend. Glad you are sharing some old school workmanship with some vintage equipment. You should be in a vocational school teaching your skills. You are the "Senior Man". Great job and love the lights.

      Thanks. Old eyes need all the light they can get. If you have old routers like mine the added lights help. New routers luckily have built in leds. Thanks for watching.

    IT'S COOL TO SEE HOW DIFFERENT PEOPLE DO THINGS. I JUST USED A ROUTER AND A DRILL PRESS TO DO THE SAME THING AND CAME UP WITH THE SAME RESULTS, I REALLY ENJOY WATCHING SOMEONE WHO HAS MACHINE EQUIPMENT DO THE TASK THERE WAY SO I CAN COMPARE THE DIFFERENCES AND SIMILARITIES. COOL VIDEO.

      There are many ways to make a item where the end result is the same. It is just a matter of figuring how to make it with the tools available. Taking some time to make little improvements to tools like this pays off in the long run. Thanks for watching.

    I am drooling at the range of tools used to make this base. If you do not have a lathe and milling machine, highly accurate bases can be made with a drill press and router table using a little ingenuity.

    • @unemployedredneckhillbilly2023
      @unemployedredneckhillbilly2023  4 года назад +1

      Those old tools were a great investment. The south bend lathe is older than me and the most usefultool I own. A router with templates can make something like these fairly easily. Thanks for watching.

  • @PaganWizard
    @PaganWizard 2 года назад +2

    I have seen several videos about how to make a new plate for a router, but yours is the first to employ LED lighting. This is an absolutely BRILLIANT idea!!! The only question I have is, how how can I mill out the square holes for a trim router, as well as the slots for the LEDs without a dedicated milling machine??

    Outstanding timing- I just found the video, and have been wondering how to get a base for the Powermax trim router (similar size to the HF one; a Dremel to do some small inlays, and a base for a Sears Router, a legacy from my Dad. Happily I have a grandson who is becoming a machinist, who can help with the lathe work (And whatever else I can talk him into doing). I am just ready for the info in the video, or at least to share it with David, so I am happy to find it, and extra happy with the details such as the lights, and mounting the brass bushings. {Next step to learn.....) thanks so much for sharing your expertise and experience- Makes RUclips the incredible source of expertise to learn from.

      Having a good base makes the trim router easier to use. There are many different ways to make the bases so use the tools that you have. Hope they work out for you. Thanks for watching.

    Excellent demonstration You should do them to sell them, many of us would buy you. Not all of us have the precise tools that you have to make them. You must make them to sell, we need them because they would help us a lot. If you manufacture for sale, please tell us. Good day.

    • @unemployedredneckhillbilly2023
      @unemployedredneckhillbilly2023  6 лет назад

      I tried to get Bosch to manufacture them, but they weren't interested. I do not sell anything. There are many different aftermarket router plates available that could be used to start a project like this. Thanks for watching.

  • @sebabaciu1224
    @sebabaciu1224 7 лет назад

    nice. you can use a white light strip LED as well, and will get rid of the wires, it will probably fit also an a smaller slot. Nice tricks

    • @idhatemet00
      @idhatemet00 Год назад

      lol you can do this in much less time with just a drill/drill press with a 35mm forstner bit for the counterbore and 30mm forstner bit for the through hole as well as a router with a pattern bit to use your current baseplate as a template to cut your new one that you've made. super easy and takes 15-20min max.

    • @unemployedredneckhillbilly2023
      @unemployedredneckhillbilly2023  6 лет назад +1

      If your base is drilled to accept porter cable bushings, they are widely available. If not you will need a aftermarket base.

    • @unemployedredneckhillbilly2023
      @unemployedredneckhillbilly2023  6 лет назад

      You will need special bushings that mount with screws for that base then. Just buy or make a new baseplate for the pc type. MLCS has some replacement base plates but that is a oddball router and you may have to drill your own mounting holes.

    • @costashaniaalejpoly
      @costashaniaalejpoly 6 лет назад

      so i should make a base and use pc bushings like you did for the bosch router. how thick plexi should i use ? you are so helpful thank you so much !

    I'm used to larger, corded routers ruclips.net/user/postUgkxfQ5_mgwq6PcudJvAH25t-I4D-3cTPz4z so this was a different experience for me. Basically, this is an incredibly sweet machine, fits well in the hand, etc. It has slightly less power than I'm used to, but that's understandable. Maneuvering freehand takes some practice. These days, it's especially nice to be able to avoid power cords. This is above the level of a hobbyist but below a pro level.

    • @unemployedredneckhillbilly2023
      @unemployedredneckhillbilly2023  8 лет назад

      I do not have a Makita router, but think you should be able to make a clear base for any router to hold the standard Porter Cable guide bushings the same way. I think that MLCS sells a universal base for PC guides that may even fit a Makita. Thanks for watching.

  • @mikejp007
    @mikejp007 6 лет назад +1

    this is an awesome video I am just starting to make wooden signs using a router and use a base plate that dealt have the counter sink for the brass fitting. would you consider making one of these if I sent you my base plate I don't have tools to do it on my own and think its genius which i also don't have.

    • @unemployedredneckhillbilly2023

    • @unemployedredneckhillbilly2023
      @unemployedredneckhillbilly2023  7 лет назад

      I don't think you can buy them, but they are pretty easy to make and you can make them any shape you need. The HF trim router is easier to use with the large base. Thanks for watching.

    Thanks for the vid very nice.

    • @unemployedredneckhillbilly2023
      @unemployedredneckhillbilly2023  7 лет назад

      They were one dollar each. There must be strip leds that would cost less available. I know the 12 volt strips on amazon are cheap and can be cut into small segments. My dollar store buys closeouts and sells everything for a dollar, but when they are gone thats it. I have seen led strips like that, but don't remember where, I will keep my eye out for some.

      Seems like all the new routers come with LED's built into them so there would not be much demand. It would just be some of us holding on to old style routers that would use one. I am thinking a micro camera with a small display that can zoom the view may be more usefull to allow a person to see the cut area. Thanks for watching my video.

    • @Ibaneddie76
      @Ibaneddie76 7 лет назад

      YOU BUILD THAT MICRO CAMERA BASE AND I'LL BUY A FEW OF THEM SIR, AND I'LL BE SO BOLD AS TO SPEAK FOR THE MAJORITY OF THE SERIOUS WOOD WORKIG COMMUNITY. I BUILD GUITARS SO THE ROUTER IS ONE OF MY MAIN WEAPONS OF WOOD DESTRUCTION HAHA, THE BIGGEST COMPLAINT I HAVE WITH ALL ROUTERS IS THE WORK PEICE NOT BEING VISIBLE THROUGH THE ROUTER BASE.
