Mortising Jig

Thoughfully built jig. Great work!

This is a very nice jig! is it rigid enough?

-- The woods are lovely, dark and deep, but I have promises to keep...

Thanks for the comments guys.

moshel, so far it seems ridged enough. I was worried about it while I was building it and figured if it wasn’t, there is room enough on the back to put a couple of gussets.

Nice looking jig, good photos make it easy to duplicate.

Nicely done. Your attention to detail is shown in how you made your own knobs and hold-downs. I really like the tenon fence and am thinking I should make one.

Great looking and functional jig. I might have to copy that myself.

Very nice. The mortises look first rate. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks again guys for the comments.

I forgot to mention that the horizontal material support can also be rotated vertically to route a mortise in the end of a work piece. This feature is what drove the height of the jig which is about 14”.

Nice work, the jig looks like it should hold up quite well. I really like the home made hold downs and wing nuts, I have made similar ones for myself. They’re fun to make, work very well, and like you said, cheap.

Great jig, looks like it works real good. Have to make me one. Like the home made hold downs too. Like everyone else.

That is a well thought out and cleaver tool that you have built. The router base that the router mounts to, is that a mount for a router table, and modified by you! I like it a lot.

olddutchman, thanks for the comment. i can’t take credit for the design (wish i could) but it’s from Workbench Mag. the base for the router is custom for my router from a piece of phenolic hard plastic ordered from Highland Hardware.
