Thanks for that link, JP.

Great looking Jigs, Fred! I can get one of those cutting boards real cheap at the dollar store, too! Great ingenuity in fabricating Jigs, although I find that I spend a lot of my free time in the shop building jigs, instead of using them.

Keep up the good work, Fred!
God Bless,

As an another Jigs lover, I can tell that you love to make jigs.

It’s true that it takes longer to make them than to use them but that’s because they save so much time and in one “Schnit” (German for Cut – like with sword), we finish the task very accurately and that’s all the beauty about jigs….not to mention the pleasure and satisfaction to make them.

I never used this cutting board material (UHMV or whatever it’s called), but, I use material that in my opinion, has lower “friction coefficient” and is “Skiing” on wood, metal or anything.
I’ll make a thread about it.

Your jigs are beautiful, mine looks like “Prototype”...

Dick – I used it to cut the mortises for my table and it worked great. Good luck with your version.

Great series Fred. Are you going to be adding to it?
