I have an extra harbor freight plunge router laying around which i picked up on craigslist for 25 bucks. I am going to use it as my initial router. I removed the base and handles from it. The original weighed in at 7.5 lbs and is now 5 lbs. Next I worked on the router mount. I created a rough trace of the profile on paper. Then transferred it to foam. Then cut it out in 1/4 plywood and finally on to 3/4 wood.
