Hi all,

I posted this link on the general threads re the 700 and the MFT but still this morning received a large number of emails from folks who apparently missed those posts.  So here goes again.

Go tohttp://jerrywork.com > tutorials for a free download of an 18 page tutorial on how to build a guide rail sled or stop for the MFK700 router and how to mount that new router onto the side of a MFT or MFT3 as a horizontal router.  You might enjoy the read.

Thanks Jerry.  I read your tutorial with great interest.  Once I get the root canal paid off, I just might pull the trigger for the MFK700!
 
This link just took me to your homepage...tried it with /tutorials, but no dice. Would like to see your idea, though...
 
On Jerry's home page click on 'Tutorials' just under the TRUE of FURNITURE at the top. It is the top item on the Tutorials page
 
I think I'm eing linked to something other than the home page. The top of the page I get says "The Dovetail Joint", and has a blurb about Jerry's work; there are no navigation links at all...

Try This:

Jery Work's MFK PDF

Yes as you roll over this link it will take you to my site, however, you will go straight to the PDF.  You will not enter Festool Junkie.

It is likely that your web browser is not loading any of the pages that are 'off site' of jerrywork.com. What browser are you using?

It is a bit complicated the way his website was made (all the backend html code) because he has the text that you see, but all of the other content is stored on his mac.come homepage. You can try going tohttp://web.mac.com/glwork and it may work better for you.

Jerry's site uses framesets to store most of the content off of the jerrywork.com server, and instead fetches the files from the mac.com domain

BTW Jerry, one of your meta tags is mispelled:

Cheers

Thanks for the heads up, Ian.  I will make the correction when I get a moment.  The site is constructed using the Apple iWeb software and a .Mac account is where the content is stored for public view on Apple servers.  As you correctly point out, the jerrywork.com URL is simply a redirect to the Apple server where these specific files are stored. 

For any of you contemplating building your own web presence, the iWeb program is very powerful and simple to use/update for the person building the web site as it does so much of the work for you at the expense of generating a lot of sophisticated HTML that the user never sees.  It links seamlessly to a .Mac account by launching FTP client side software and uploading all the files when the user simply clicks the "publish" button.

I am using that same software/web server pair to develop an innovative new web presence for the Southern Oregon Guild that I hope to have live by the end of the week.  Most all web sites, especially those done by volunteer organizations like the Guild, suffer from "single point failure" if everything is supposed to be done by one "web master".  That person starts with great enthusiasm and then quickly gets overwhelmed or moves away so the web site languishes and becomes stale over time.  The new kind of web site we are trying to bring up puts different groups of members in charge of each different page section.  They keep the info on that one page section current and interesting within the framework of a single web site design, look and feel.  Each individual member is responsible for keeping their own info on their page set current. 

All of the work is done on the Guild's core duo iMac.  Each user has their own login.  When running iWeb from their login their files are stored separately from the files for other members.  When they "publish" their files are stored on the Guild .Mac account under their login name.  There is a separate login name used by everyone who works on the Guild web site.  When any of them "publish" any updates they have made, the common files for the whole Guild web site are updated on the Apple server under the Guild login name.  A member can link their own web page(s) to the Guild web site by simply adding the link to the right place on the Guild web site.

We will see how well this works as we are likely pushing the envelope with respect to how the Apple software engineers expected iWeb to be used.  In this case there are already more than 70 individual member login accounts all pointing to the same .Mac account plus the Guild itself pointing to that account as well.  If the FTP client does not get confused, and if the iWeb generated code does not get confused, then it should work and we will have avoided the dreaded single point failure.  If one group of members gets tired of updating the one page set for which they are responsible, the site as a whole will still be fresh elsewhere.  Hopefully a new group of member volunteers will take their place so the site will self perpetuate ----- HOPEFULLY!  One never knows with volunteers. 

Sorry for the long chatter, but I thought some of you may find this valuable for organizations with which you are associated.
