I think mdf is cheaper here, depending on the quality of the ply. Marine ply and birchply is insanely expensive :)

The ply Im using is scraps from my shed, to get me started!
When I feel somewhat secure, safe and possibly tipsy I will bring out the oak :D

Want to find a local supplier of varieties of endmills. The only thing the stores here sell are for handrouters. Oftentimes with bearings :(

A nice singleflute for acrylic would be nice.
Aswell as some downcuts for soft wood!
