Routing grooves for splines and makin’ a top!

My friend Steve uses a router, band saw and drill press to do most of his wood working (supplemented with hand planes, etc.)  I asked him to help me route the grooves in my desk top pieces.  Above are a few shots of his set up, the grooves we cut and finally .. the glued up top.
