  1. Also... Don't use a laminate trim router. Make sure you have a nice 2 handed variable speed router with a small diameter bit. 1/4" would give you a nice tight corner. And it may go without saying, but I will say it anyway. Many shallow passes with the router will yeild a better result than few deep ones. Let the router do the work, dont force it. Good luck with it
  2. You will find that the more you get into it, the more creative ways you will find to make due with what you have. I have to admit that I have came up with some cool (and probably dangerous) ideas when either I couldn't be bothered to get up to the hardware store or I thought StewMac was too expensive. Here is some other stuff you should get. Razor Saw (for slotting fingerboards..Exacto makes them) Arbor press (only 30 bucks at Harbor Freight) Clamps Clamps Clamps Clamps Clamps Hand Planer Good Random Orbit Sander (MUST HAVE!!!) Is there any way that you could rent a storage room? I tell you man, the more you get into it...the more stuff you will collect. You will find yourself making jigs, storing woods, buying new tools and lord know what else. Hell, my addiction has grown so bad that I'm about to move out into the country so I have the space to build my workshop (I call it the woman haters club). Good luck with it
