Vaughn had posted a pic of a router sled setup in a thread that I can't find now. I'm about to try this for my first table top glue-up.
I went and picked up a couple pieces of 1 by 2 pine furring, I'm about to go edge joint them and screw them together for passing through the planer. If I'm not happy with those results I'll see if I have some shelf-grade pine laying about and use that instead to make the frame for the sled. At $0.89 per furring strip, if I don't like the results I'm not out much, and for right now I'll just custom build the box to be just big enough to allow for the piece to be shimmed into place with a scrap spacers to keep the router from eating my frame.
However, before I actually do any routing I'll check back and see if anyone has better ideas in this thread.
I don't have a specific thickness needed for my tabletop, I just want it to be flat and reasonably parallel with enough thickness to not be confused with a piece of veneer.
Thanks!
