Q. What is being routed here?
A.  I am routing the side windows on in the upper part of the case.

Q. What type of routing tool are you using - make/model?
A.  It is a Stanley Router Plane No. 71

Q. What other routing tools do you use?
A.  I use a Dremel tool or an old Black & Decker router fitted with miniature carbide endmills. These endmills are available from industrial supply houses. I use standard router collars for template routing ( like the arch on the door).
