That is very different from the one I have.  I retrieved it from storage 
yesterday.  A guide fits on the router base and follows the templates.  The 
shape of the template is the shape of the finished letter with the profile 
set by the router bit.  A series of metal rods as clamps position a metal 
template holder on the board.

I will try to get a picture today but at this point that may now happen.  I 
am running around getting the trailer ready to go by tomorrow 
afternoon.  Tires, propane, batteries, blanket, food, cleaning, loading.

I just found a coffee can full of OP/heirloom seeds that I grew and
saved from 1998.  They aren't molded or anything and have been in my
closet all this time.  Assuming I plant them, what kind of germination
should I expect from seeds that old...it's a variety of stuff,
everything from corn to tomatoes to cukes and squash...
**************************************************************************
I don't expect that seeds eight years old will do much, but you could make a
germination trial on them: put ten seeds of each variety on a damp towel in
a plastic bag in a fairly warm place. I just tried that on some beans of
unknown age. No germination, so I have no qualms about composting them.
