goober8198 Posted May 6, 2014 Report Share Posted May 6, 2014 I am trying to make a cutting board for a friend. They requested a Mickey Mouse one. I decided to make a 1/8" hardboard pattern of the Mickey front silhouette. I will then attach the pattern to the board and use a pattern bit on the router to get Mickey the right size and shape. I then want to put a contrasting colored wood on the outside of Mickey to make the final shape of the board a rectangle. How would I go about doing this to get a good fit between Mickey and the outer board? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EdgewaterWW Posted May 6, 2014 Report Share Posted May 6, 2014 What Kiki is saying use the above "Router Bushing Set" with your pattern to cut your outer rectangle wood with a cutout in the middle the shape of Mickey. But the set above doesn't come with a bit, so I would go with something like this ....Router Inlay Router Bit Set http://www.woodcraft.com/Product/2001391/1633/Whiteside-9500-Solid-Brass-Router-Inlay-Router-Bit-Set.aspx But with both the Bit will not cut all the way through the board, so you will have to finish with a Scroll saw, jig saw, band saw.

mar10 Posted May 8, 2014 Report Share Posted May 8, 2014 Just thinking out loud, but wouldn't you need to design around the 5/16 " bushing ? Using 5/16 bushing redesigned for bushing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
