I'd like the one King Cavalier has, and I have one similar to what Ben Had showed. Have not used it yet, but will pretty soon.
I used to have the one that HGC Canada showed (and it's similar to Charles Tauber's as well).
I'm thinking I'm going to prefer having the router either stationary like Ben's, as opposed to the hand held one. I always got very nervous using that one. It was probably the noise of the router combined with the noise of the wood being cut off, but I found that part of building the most distasteful.
You'll probably be done with yours before I can test mine, so good luck.
As was stated, the big problems come with the 15' back and the router not really getting the slot cut properly. Just be sure to inspect the entire cut with a piece of the trimming you are using to see if any place is not deep enough. IIRC, my shallow points were mostly in the waist area. A small enough file with a safe edge and or emery boards are helpful in bringing those parts into alignment with the rest.
