template tom

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.
