I just batch resize my images. It take a few extra seconds but it solves the problem. |

Thanks for the tips, the resizing trick worked. More work on the top panel, this time the ventilation slots. Notice my awesome router track adapter, that made this so much easier to do. I clamped two strips of pine to restrict the router movement to just the area of the ventilation slot. I think I took 3-4 passes on each slot, to not put too much stress on the router. Added a very small chamfered edge, just make it look nicer. Really happy with results on this panel. |

Time to cut the t-molding slot. Wanted to use the fixed router base for this, as its so much easier to adjust it to the proper depth, and then not have to worry about it anymore. Unfortunately that base is really small, especially compared to the large router bit. It tilts way too easily. So I had ordered some alternative bigger base plate online. But after waiting 2 months on shipping I gave up on this. Instead I decided on using the plunge base, with the track adapter installed. This gives a much larger surface area that sits on top of the work piece, greatly increasing overall stability. Anyway, I did the sides panels and the top panel. I had some left over piece of black t-molding that I cut in 4 smaller pieces. I installed those pieces at the bottom corners of the side panels. This way I can easily move these panels around, without fear of damaging them. |

Nice work. :applaud: |
