Nord, I'm the last person to dampen anyone's enthusiasm, but regarding finger joints and their jigs, there are jigs available that are so low in cost and do such a good job that I haven't used my relatively complex home-made jig since being introduced to the simple Oak Park "spacer" jig. Oak Park by the way are the sponsors of this forum. There is of course no reason why something simple like this can't be made if it's inconvenient to shop overseas.
Here is a link to the thread I posted when first testing the Oak Park jig.

The best advice that I can give a newcomer to routing is, learn to use the router mounted, this can be as simple as a board held in a vice, with the router firmly attached and a simple fence held with clamps, and when he/she feels competant and confident in it's use and is familiar with all aspects of safety, THEN, and only then proceed to learn how to use the router hand held. This is MY opinion, and may or may not coincide with that of the forum management, but is based on a lifetime of woodworking.
