OUFM203 - Day Thirteen

I carried on working on the slides today, and it took me all morning to set up the overhead router, as this allowed me to carefully adjust the slides to make them a perfect fit. I had to make a custom fence, with mounts to hold the pieces in place, which is shown below. 

After this I used a hand router, table router and dowels to create the locking mechanism which stops the slides from just pulling out of place.
