Rocker Box

I did a bit today on the front of the rocker box. I started of by making a template out of 5mm ply so I could use it as a guide for the router.

With the template done I transferred the pattern on the front of the rocker box and drilled a few holes to make cutting with the jig saw easier. I didn't cut it right on the line but left a 3mm or 4mm overhang.

The way that I secured the template onto the board was with some double sided tape (it held very firm).

Using the flush bit on the router table, I took the excess material off and then used the radius bit to round all corners.
