    I wonder if you can help me. I am looking to do a very long carving around the edge of a table top. I would like to do it with a router and a letter template kit. The bottom two boards show exactly the style of lettering I should like to acheive.

    Have you any idea where I may be able to find such a template kit? I would like to do it with a system such as the Turnlock:  http://www.milescraft.com/router/1212.htmlHowever I can't find the suitable letter templates (20-25mm high Times New Roman font) Has anyone got any leads. If possible I would rather not go down the pantograph route as I have several tables to do and believe the templates will be easier. Thanks in advance for you help,

    Ben,

    Have you looked at the Rutlands letter jigs, two sizes, one of which I am sure will suit you.
