Book Review: Woodworkers Guide to Wood

Holy cow and a half. If there was one book I'd wish I had read years ago, this is it. Of course, it wasn't written years ago, so I'm off the hook..... I have been working my way through the defnitive work by Bruce Hadley, which is a great read. Sadly, I do not have a PHD in Woodology :-/...

PC Guide Bushing

I really need a .400" PC style guide bushing. I have a Craftsman dovetail jig that uses this oddball size along with a .500". It comes with dinky sheetmetal-like guides that screw to a Craftsman router base, or to an optional base for non Craftsman routers. Any ideas how/where to get a .400? TIA ken
