Got bored, last night....even though Shop is normally closed on Mondays.....spent a little time in the shop, anyway.....all but the cauls came off the glued up panel, made it a bit easier to move around, and to get my fat body past the bench. Box came off the tablesaw for a little bit. Reset up the rip fence...2" tall collar was judged to be too tall...so..

We will try 1-3/8" width....ran all 4 pieces through....best side against the fence..

Checked the length of the long sides...trimmed those to match the box, NOT the panel...and, make sure the ends were square. Needed to then move the tablesaw out of the way..

4 at this setting, 1 on each end of the 2 long side pieces...reset the fence a bit, by eyeball (MK II ?) and go again..

Ok, all done with the router table, it can go back into it's storage spot, until needed again...Tablesaw moved back to it's "Home Station", box and lid plopped on top of it...
