| Registered User Forum Fanatic  |  Home Brew Mortise Pal Fellow Woodworkers, This is a home brewed mortise jig, taken from the $189.00 Mortise Pal. Total cost was $30.00. I could not make the plasice patterns. I told you I was cheap... Scrap wood, a bolt and insert,Handle,1/4 dowles and that is it. Used rubber ruler, so you can work at it, if you wish. Bud

| Registered User Forum King  | Bud I am asuming the plastic insert can be changed for different size jobs, or am I missing something. I do like the way you have assembled it,,,,, do we call it cheap or thrifty and wise.  My Mom always said "a penny saved is a penny earned."Good job John
