That is pretty slick. I like it….

That is a great jig! Definitely something to remember.

Great Idea, Peter, I’ve been meaning to build one of these and didn’t know quite how I wanted it. This looks like a good solution. Thanks. It makes getting those arch top doors done easier and quicker than the tape. Not to mention easier to register each time.

Nice jig. I may have to steal that one.

Yup…gonna have to add this one to my list! Nice

Peter,

Great idea for this jig. I remember seeing an older video of Frank Klaus doing tenons with a jig on the table saw where he had cams as clamping mechanisms on the jig. Great solution to the pricey double-stick tape.

Very well executed. Definately looks like it will give you very good control over the workpiece and still remain safe. Job well done sir.

Love it, I use a similar jig for bandsawing with a template. I always have to clean it up with a router, so maybe your jig will do both at the same time. Worth a shot. Nicely done.

That looks like a great jig. Nice looking and added safety, another sign you are an “American Craftsman.”

Very conscientious of you to add the plan and notify of the update, Peter. Thanks for posting this, now I have no excuse not to gin one up. ;^D

Oh ya, this is getting added to the “to do” list. Thanks for sharing Peter.

Good one Peter.
One jig for several tasks is really getting important around here.
I’ll make one up shortly.
Thanks

There has been lot of talk about jigs lately and, not ever having seen one or used one, I’m sure there are tips and tricks to process behind the finished product and to using them.
This would be a great blog discussion as a resource for people like me with limited skills/experience.

Peter, A nicely designed jig. I’m not bashful… I’ll make it and put it to plenty good use. Thanks for sharing!

Very nice jig, Peter! I will have to make one for my pattern routing. I get tired of peeling (sometimes) the double-sided tape and fionding it left a sticky residue behind.

Another jig on my to-do-list!

Nice Peter. Thanks!

Great Idea..Nice jig.

Hey, Dusty – one change I would recommend: make the diameter of the cams larger. Leave the pivot hole about ½” off-center, but make the radius of the cam more like 2”. My cams tended to loosen up at the 1” radius, but no problem at the larger radius.

Very nice Jig. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for the plans. This jig is not only functional but safer. We build adirondack chairs as a mass production unit in our general shop class. we use the router to make the legs and arms from a pattern. This will increase the safety aspect of that operation. Thanks again.

THANKS, I favorited it.

Thanks for the plans. I needed of these.

I just tripped over this because of your post on the ‘jigs’ thread. I absolutely need this jig and didn’t even know it. I’ve been doing the double sided tape thing and grumbling. The benefit of that post is that I’ve found this jig, need it, but never would have been looking for it (maybe not never, but I can grumble for a long time!).

-- Chris

Splendid Jig indeed! thanks for the post. one thing that is possible to do, is maybe set some tracks on the base of the jig to allow for the fence to move back/forth? which will accomodate different depths of patterns? (or one could make a couple of those with common depth fences I guess) – just an idea. something similar to the holes you setup for the holddown clamps – but on the base for the fence to be attached with.
