Hello everyone, well the holiday season is coming fast. So this year, I’m going to give x-mas gifts of the CMT tray. I was tracing the template that is in the kit and I found that there was too much room for error, as trying to keep the walls even and spacing right. After some thought I came up with this idea. By taking sometime and care using the CMT template I was able to get the spacing right. I started by doing it the way CMT says to taking care to get the space right once I had it looking good to me. I drilled starting hole for my jig saw, cut to just outside the lines and then I put the CMT template back on and again taking care to get it back where it was when I traced it. Then using a flush bit I cut it out. By making this template it does two things. I still trace the template and then drill out the compartments but if you look close at the pictures. I now screw the template down and then trace it by doing this. I’m able to put the template back in the screw holes. And I don’t have to reposition the template when routing. Here’s some pictures of my work.
