I was lured into the jig making game this week as not having time for a big project and the anticipation of what these tools could give me this winter,
I dove into my scrap bin and cameup with enough wood for 2 kerfmakers . I tried a sliding dovetail to lock top and bottom on mine and it seems to work just fine. The set up was a bit fiddly in as much as the bit cut at 1/2” leaving a narrow 1/8” on each side. Fortunatelyy I used maple and all is well for strength.
Next stop is to find that URL and make ammends for my plagerism witha donation.
Anybody have it handy?

Great looking pair, and they almost match.

Karson. I made the second one a bit bigger so it would fit with the bar on my osborene guage and my miter table.
The first one was like everyone else made and I found it too small to get a decent measure.

If you guys want fancy, the knuled nut is $1.25 at Home Depot. <vbg>

Here’s the other fancies. (Veritas Brass insert knobs)
Bruce this gadget sets the width of a slot (kerf) in a piece of wood identcle to the piece that will eventually be fitted in to it.
It saves “sneaking” up on the slot with a series of cuts.
If you have a series of slots to make each should be exactly the same width as the first one.

Thanks for the info guys, after following the links from ChuckM I now know what we use this for. This would be a really handy jig. As soon as I finish the crib I’m working on I’ll make one and post the results.
Thanks again
