Have you ever used a stair jig to build stair stringers?
Bob, I don't think he was really looking for an answer.
I suspect he wants to sell us this $700 stair jig.

Well, mine are Trend HPL jigs which come in closed riser and open riser but I'll still make plywood jigs for kite winders and the like. Why are yours better than my "cheapo" Trends?It's more than what you will quickly build with plywood.
Made the one like below for one US dollar./QUOTE]
And how much time, Bob? And how durable? For someone like me if it takes an hour to make it then I really should cost in your time. I've used home-made jigs - still do for specials like kite winders where no standard jig could ever work - but the beauty of a manufactured jig in a material like HPL is that they're not unreasonably priced and they are pretty durable (both mine are now several years old) which MDF/thin plywood jigs aren't. MDF and plywood can be great for one-offs and short runs but for stuff like staircases wher you maybe make two or three a year jigs like the Trend are a better proposition. But then you know all that

BTW where have you seen Trend jigs at $40? Never seen them that cheap
