    Hi everyone. I'm working exclusively with bamboo poles and would like to use my router to create some lamps from it. What would be your advice to create a jig that gives me the possibility to maintain the bamboo and the possibility to create vertical or horizontal holes like the image below...

    This is a simple jig to allow you to use your router to make wood covers for jar lids, regardless of the size of the factory lids. Alternately, you can use it to make cup and glass coasters with indentations to stop the cup or glass from slipping o the coaster. You could add cork to the bottom...

    Gonna sound like a dumb question... I see a "line" in the router base plate of several videos, for indexing the Leigh guide bushing, where does that line go? Just randomly marking the base plate doesn't seem like the greatest idea, I assume it goes either parallel with or 90° to the jig, but to...

    It took a while, but I got a friend addicted to woodwork. One of his projects he showed me were spoons and ladles he made for his family. They were nice. When I asked my friend how long it took to carve out the spoons, I thought "there has to be a faster, more efficient way." Being...

    After seeing what others had done using three different colors of wood to make 3-D patterns out of wood, I thought I’d try my hand at it. To aid in the process, I made this jig for my band saw. Of course, one could vary it a bit for the table saw. I extended the miter slot guide about six...

    Okay, it's a few years old now, but here is my variation of a dado jig for routers. It relies on pattern bits. You can use whichever size meets your needs. While it shares much in common with others dado jigs, I believe my modifications to the general design make it easier and quicker to use...

    After some practice, i have had success making box joints using a shop made jig described in Shopnotes.com . I got too much tearout using it with a dado blade, but was happy after putting it on my router table using an upcut spiral bit.

    Can the Leigh Pro or Super FMT be used to make tenons on ends of long work pieces, such as bed rails? My bed rail is almos84" long, too tall to standup under the FMT unless I had a very tall shop. :) Can the FMT be mounted horizontal to route the tenon? Is there a better idea? Thank You...
