I am making a knock down bookcase for the youngest heir. Simple construction, fits together with pegs, no screws etc. Needed grooves for the shelves. Made a jig and then routed it out with a top bearing pattern bit. This is the first time in 6 years that I have done freehand plunge routing! (always use the table) what a great machine! :D Will now bury my head in shame.

Jaco,

There is a first time for everything and everyone - no cause for embarassment!

Pattern or template routing is a small extension of what you were doing and you have quite possibly done it on the table already. I find it handy for example in making through mortices in the uprights of a bookshelf if I want tenons on fixed shelves to show.
 
Hi Chris. it sounds same design as yours, with the thru mortices. this then just gets pegs in to hold them in. need to do pegs this weekend so that i can get it out the way. :) :) :D

(Dewey, to me anything in my hands becomes freehand and quite dangerous!) :D
