Jigs

[Bob Swenson]

I am always making jigs to do various jobs. Some of them would
Be of interest to other wood workers but I never remember to post them.
How about it, do you have any favorites? We would like to see them.
No need to reinvent the wheel.

Here is one I did post.

It's too embarassing to post photos of, but I just spent about an hour and a half (lots of interrupted time so that dragged it out) to make a jig so I can use a laminate trimmer to route out a place for the strike plates on closet doors. These are the strike plates at the top of the jamb and a roller in the top of the door catches on the plate. 1.5 Hours of work so that I will be able to install 4, count em 4 plates! Sure I could use a uility knive and a chisel, but whenever I do that I mess it up somehow with a slip of the knife or the chisel. This jig makes them perfect and I can keep the jig forever in case I ever have to install more of these doors.
