    Ron - In addition to standard power tools, I also have
    a small Porter Cable laminate router (laminate
    trimmers are quite small, easily handled with one
    hand, with a small base plate). I bought it several
    years ago when I installed Corian counter tops on my
    Willard 36. While I only use it occasionally, the
    small size makes it easy to store and it squeezes into
    tight spots much better than a full size router. The
    small bit aperature makes it better for fine-edge work
    where a standard router tends to roll-over and dig the
    bit into the wood. Of course, it cannot take the full
    compliment of bits a full-size router can, but it
    takes more than enough for small boat projects like
    reproducing trim, making bookshelves, building
    fiddles, etc.

    I also carry a Makita electric die-grinder. I use
    small metal cutting wheels and buffing wheels for
    de-burring. Like the laminate trimmer, it's only
    occasionally used but handy when called upon.
