After experimenting a little with covering plywood edges using hardwood recently, I faced the problem of how to make the hardwood edges flush with the plywood. I tried using my block plane, but that didn’t work out that well, so I looked up for a solution on the web. Here is the one I liked:

It wasn’t too hard to build, even for a novice like me, and it gave me a chance to practice some router skills.

I like that, and it looks so easy to build. I think there should be a “JIGS” page in here.

Great looking jig! I love simle jigs. They always seem to be the best.
Bradford: we had this conversation already. I guess for now we will use a “Jig” tag.

Thanks guys.
Chris, yes I have. It worked out as expected even though it’s still not fault proof. The router will not tip by itself, but the whole platform will, unless you press the handle carefully against the workpiece at all times. I routed into my hardwood edge at one point because of that.
