          A jig to hold your router while attempting to cut mortises horizontally?

            It is in your shop and you are asking if I know what it is! I am half a continent away! Have you called the county for your mental acuity testing? Are you sure it is even your shop? Or your Jig?

              I have no idea what it is. But it must be something I need.

                All good questions, I will have to ask myself and see what I say

                  OK I will put you out of your misery.

                  Yes it is for a router. The slot in the front plate registers onto the flat sides of the spindle and then you can change bits with only one wrench - Yeehaa!

                  No more wrestling with two wrenches and the jig holds the router nice and steady

                    Very clever. Is this your original idea? If it is, I would certainly send it in to one of the magazines. I have never seen anything like it before, but it's so simple.

                    Great job!

                      I wish it was my idea but alas no. It came from this book, which I borrowed from the library and thought it was one of the best of its type I have seen so I just ordered my own copy.

                        So I would imagine the guessing game has just started. And the only way to ruin the game is to beg, barrow or steal the book.

                        The jig really is a great idea. I hope it will serve you well for a long time.

                        The problem I have with these kind of jigs is finding a place where they are readily accessible and convenient to use. But you have a much neater shop than I.

                          Do you mean guessing how to make it? Its pretty much like it looks. SOme scrap plywood made to fit the specifc dimensions of your router. The joinery is highly complex i.e. glue and brads

                            That book is one of the absorbing/interesting I've read on ww-ing. As much as Hylton's router books are.

                            There are many similar, simple but effective jigs in it.

                            It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.
