As we can see by the number of visits to this posting there was a great interest in the use of the template guides. I wonder if any of the members have actually made any projects to date and maybe they could post a few comments on what they thought of the method.
I have been giving some thought to a topic on Jig making. Say post a pic of an object or a process, then posting the actual jig constructed to produce the matter. I am not suggesting posting a bought jig but a jig made in your workshop to produce the item.

I am quite willing to start the ball rolling so to speak with a jig I made to produce the cabinet handle illustrated below as an example. What do others think of the idea. I do not want to be seen as the only one submitting the projects and the jigs to make them.

It does not necessarilly have to be a completed project, say making a special joint or something like that would do. I have in the past posted some of my jigs to produce certain processes such as the Ski mode which has been developed by others.

Recently I have been spending some time storing my jigs and templates ready for easy access when I require them. Lately I have seached for jigs and templates that I developed some 15 years ago, now required in the making of my next collection of chairs. I also had to introduce some new jigs when I came to add the arm rests to the chairs to change them to carvers. I am sure I have posted pics of the chairs which are available in my Gallery but I have not posted any jigs or templates.

Great looking chairs, very nice job. And the chatter back and forth, do me good. Thanks for being. Take care.

Here are a few samples of projects which I consider can not be produced on the router table. With a few templates and Jigs they can be routered in the plunge mode.
Are there any router users on the forum actually using the template guides maybe they would like to put up their pics of the completed project.
