Hi all.

I have seen these jigs in action (via video on the web) and agree that they appear great value for money. Simple and effective.

My only gripe is that Oak Park only seem to sell to US or Canadian addresses.

Does anyone know the reason for this.

Otherwise, I will have to buy some cutting boards and try and make my own.

Joe that is one excellent idea. I wish I would have thought of that before I went drilling into my top.

James, I am sure Oak Park would sell to you. The pricing is done in US and Canadian since the money is never the same. Call the 800 number and the girls will help you. Worst case, you could always visit HarrySin in WA and steal his two jigs...

"you could always visit HarrySin in WA and steal his two jigs... "

From now on I'm going to keep them in the safe, I couldn't live without my Oakpark box joint jigs.

Mike,

thanks for the tip.. this could be the excuse for that trip on the "Indian - Pacific"....
(like a trip from New York to LA to steal a $60 jig....

I did try to purchase the router workshop videos and was told they only ship to
US or Canadian adresses.

HarrySin.

I presume you bought your jigs from Oak Park ?

LOL.... Harry don't buy jigs, he wins them in contests

Bob is half right, the 1/4" jig I won in the forum competition was kindly donated together with postage to Australia by non other than our latest moderator Bob Noles. I was so pleased with it that I arranged with one of the many friends that I have made since becoming a member to purchase a 3/8" jig and whilst he was at it I added all sorts of other goodies. Because my friend had an account with Oak park and once I knew the total cost incl. postage, I phoned Oak Park and had them deduct the amount from my Visa card and credit it to my friends account.

Did Oak park ship direct to you or via your friend?

No, my good friend purchased all the items from various suppliers and posted them out to me after which he emailed me the total cost including freight.
