Finished this yesterday; handle knobs arrived. Doesn't take long to make and already I can see many uses. Now just waiting for my big protractor to come in. Plans are at Wood Store
And for a limited time, you can download the plan FREE in PDF at: WOODmagazine.com  |

Great Job Joe  I was looking at that in the mag a thinking about building it. Where did you buy the parts? Rockler? And where did you find the protractor?

Joe,
I downloaded a copy of that jig, I hope mine will turnout like yours, nice work. I have one of those protactors, found it in a store that sells drafting supplies. It is amazing that something you by, and use very little, can be now be put to use for something else.
Albert, Al or whatever | |

Looks like a really nice jig. I watched this video showing how to use the jig - very safe and functional! | |

I bought the Rockler T track kits on sale now @ $14.95 and 5/16" handle knobs. It's the blue 1/2" deep stuff; not the 3/8" mini channel. But since the T-nut barrel is drawn up into the channel hole it works. Just be careful not to counter-bore too deep for the T-nut on the bottom. The jig takes about 6' of channel, leaving me enough for my long taper jig project. Wore out my 3/8" countersink in aluminum!
T nuts, I found at Home Depot and the 6/32 X 1/4" machine screws at Wilder's (next to Habitat in Raleigh). Wilder's were out of the T nuts and I bought the last box of screws! Still have over 50 if you can't find any.
I ordered a Hearlihy 12" Adjustable Triangle (#W70111) #8212; $15.00 Qty: 1 (hasn't arrived yet) because it is listed as .125 (1/  inches. The Alvins are listed @ .100. Hope it's accurate.
It works just like the video. | |

That's a pretty neat jig Joe. Thanks for passing along the info (and the video Monty). It doesn't take up much space and it is incredibly versatile.
Roger (awaiting pixs from others who build this)

yup, looking at the jig itself, I was having a hard time figuring it out, the video explained things very well.

Thanks for the plan, Joe!

Joe,
Great job on the jig! I think I need to build this as well. I would be tempted to buy the Laser engraved panel for the acurate angle measurements. Thanks for the plan Joe!
