Well,
I followed Dons instructions exactly,but all I could fit in this silly little drawer was a couple of pens-and pencils, and it didn't even close all the way!
How am I supposed to fit a router in there!!

Nice thing about that is you can have the pens pointing any direction you want! |

Gosh....Brad, I'm really sorry about that. I'm not sure what could have happened. I must have missed something...

It's a great jig !!! I used mine today. Closed the boxes on my twins and routed away the overhang with my William's jig. Be using it again in a few days to do the binding channels. I love it. Ron |

You will love using this jig Brad! Makes routing the binding/purfling channels virtually effortless! What trimmer will you mount on it? -Mark |

I just got mine finished in time to use it on the last guitar I built (L-00). This jig takes all the pain and gnashing of teeth out of routing binding rabbets. |

C T Holden makes one. I haven't see it but the picture looks just like Don's. Also there is a guy on Ebay selling plans. I don't know about table space but it does require a pretty big work surface. The main problem with this jig is that it is so big and that you only use it once or twice per instrument. Finding a table on which to use it isn't nearly as big a problem as finding a place to store it. Storage space is a fair price to pay for a jig that works as well as this does. |

Finding a simple way to wall-mount the jig would be a good idea for folks with space considerations. It can't be that hard. Mounting the drawer to a simple shaft going through a couple pillow blocks screwed to a wall would probably work. Then you could just swing it out of the way when it's not being used. |

OOOhhhhhh I like that idea Don. I'm going to have to play with that one. I have just started gathering all the materials I need for the jig, but haven't started building. Have to get the tablecsaw motor fixed first, hopefully its just the capacitor. Timely suggestion. Thanks!
