You can give them to me, that would solve your problem.
I started with absolutely nothing. Now, thanks to years of hard work, careful planning, and perseverance, I find I still have most of it left.

I have a file cabinet full of "woodworking mistakes".  One complete drawer is dedicated to "freehand router".

It's not the routers, it's the bits.  The routers themselves are very safe, it's only when loaded with those sharp-edged bits that they become dangerous . . .

Hi, Derek.

I needed to rout 1/4" X 1/4" grooves in the bottom 8" of the front feet of the desk I'm building. The French foot assembly I'm using is complicated and the grooves need to be perfect. The feet taper from about 1 1/2" to about 1" at the bottom. The first one went well, but the router tipped and the fence puled away from the edge on the second one and the groove went awry. I tried to fix it, but that was a mistake. It just got worse. I thought I'd ruined a month's work and about $500 worth of 5/4 wide walnut. But, after sleeping on it, I think I can salvage it. Epoxy may be my friend - I hope.
Thanks for asking.

Can you glue in a filler strip? Then re-rout or, if that seems risky, use hand tools.
