How are you getting the piece of veneer to fit in the grove? As in width wise and arc? I am guessing you are using the jig with a knife to cut the veneer?
Thanks Richard

The veneer arc is cut on the chevalet.

love it Paul…one time use and chuck. Seems like the only way to screw it up would be to go past your starting and finish point. Maybe think about adding some stops to limit the rotation to exactly what you need?

A great jig but the project in progress is amazing! Can’t wait to see it finished.

Paul,

We love your solution! It seems I spend more time making jigs than the actual cuts! Our next project is to build a 50,000-square-foot warehouse to store all the jigs. After that we’ll need to hire staff to keep them documented so we can find them when we need them.

Oh, wait, maybe we should just chuck them and not build the warehouse or hire the staff!

Thanks Paul

Pucker factor of 12 on that cut. Very ingenious, and I can absolutely see a HF trimmer in my future for dedicated jigging. Thank you for sharing this.

Wonderful jig and easy to make and use, now if I could just manage to make the beautiful project you are
using it on, I would really be happy. Thank you for sharing.

Clever simple jig, with a precut side that gives you exact place to set it.
