Hello everyone. I'm new to the community and the home based business as well. A near fatal heart condition has recently left me looking for an alternative income. I've been a part time hobbyist for years and enjoy crafting very much. I recently set up shop at home and am currently working on an...

I use a Rockler dovetail jig. For my drawers I use 5/8" stock. I would like to make my tail height half the thickness of the wall thickness (5/8") but cannot. The tail height seems to be fixed based on the jig instructions. The starting-point suggestion results in tails about 1/4" which gets...

My son and I have a project. This will be the first wood working project that we will do together. I think we need to learn to make a router jig...and more. The item that we want to replicate looks like a model sea plane’s pontoon. It has a straight side and a curved side. There is a...

Hi, I'm new here. I am looking to build a shop built dovetail butterfly jig. Any help would be appreciated. To purchase one is a big expense and I don't know how much I will be using it. Framework mostly. Thanks, Jim

The one tool I need to splurge on to complete my shop is a drill press. In the meantime, I need to drill a 3/8" wide bit through an 11/16 thick stock that is 5/4 wide. It has to be straight and true. Anybody know of any tricks or jigs to accomplish this with a hand drill?:fie:

Hello! Iam glad to be with you .

Hi all, Look at some of these details I make for deck posts. I use a template, no sticky tape or screws, I even use the same tool for the V-groove. The layout is pre-set with the tool and allows me to do up to 4 details a minute and with any setting, I could rotate the template as the tool...

Hello all, I joined in hopes of finding some good plans for a home made overarm set up and have already found not only some good ideas but a variety of ways to do it. I build custom basses and have done a lot of woodworking in the past and the router is one tool I would not want to be without...

Does anyone have any good plans for a Finger Joint jig for use on a router jig?:fie:

I am a newbie to routing. I have of shop full of new large woodworking equipment and 1000 plus brd ft of lumber. My wife and I plan on starting significant production soon. And we have a new Bosch MRC23evsk. Out of the box but not yet started... I want to make a line of boxes. They will be...

I've 3/4" x 4' wood planks to join with varying widths. Kind of decided on tongue and groove for the joint. Wondering if anyone has suggestions on a jig to get consistent tongues and grooves? When finished a plank will be 10.5" width. Router is mounted under the table and I am using a fence...

Hi everyone, this is my first visit and my very first post on any forum. I live in Montreal, Quebec, Canada and although I make furniture my main area of work is re-finishing. This is my problem, I have designed a coffee table that is essentially a box (approx.. 20"x40"x6")that sits on a...

Can somebody help me construct a jig to rout an oval dome of 5"X8"? Center of the dome should be around 3/4" high. Thanks.

I'm building hardwood skateboards and am trying to build a jig that will let me rout a concave deck and also a convex bottom. I figure the jigs will just have to have opposing arcs. Any thoughts or ideas would be great. thanks!

I actually built this jig, mostly, for the 45 degree feature. I wanted to not have to adjust my saw to the 45* angle for cutting mitered corners for box making as it is difficult to get an exact 45 without a lot of test cuts. It can also be adjusted to 90*, or anything in between, for cutting...

I am a woodworker of sorts, although measured by time spent it would appear that I prefer to be in my gardens. That said I have a nice shop with three routers among a number of other tools (table saw, drill press, jointer, etc.). To get back into wood working, I thought I would make a crumb...

Been a fan of Bob and Rick for a few years. TRW is no longer available on Georgia PBS. I miss 'em. I've been woodworking off and on since I made my first broom holder in shop in 1962. Last 10-15 years I've been lots more active since I can afford the power tools now. I enjoy woodturning...
