    They are pretty simple to build and for $80 you can have a subwoofer that will make your whole body shake. I've seen it done.

    You need to turn of the SG-1 and turn on New Yankee Workshop. This is a trivial task.

    Remove baseplate on router. Get plank a little longer than the radius of the hole you want to cut. Bolt to bottom of router using baseplate holes. Measure from center of router bit along plank. Drill hole through plank. Place this hole over center of hole you want to cut. Cut another hole, using plank as guide. Place bolt through plank and piece to be cut. Turn on router, swivel around bolt.

    Voila! You have cut a hole with a router.

    FWIW, I prefer the guy who uses the antique and archaic handtools over norm's "I have a $20,000 tool for just one job" manner. But Norm does have some neat tricks.
