Comments welcomed.


Thanks to all that checked out the video! *Like I said at the end,
there are a half-dozen other ways to do this, but this is my
preferred.
I sincerely appreciate your feedback.
--with the exception of one mean dude. *:^(


I really like your videos and have learned a lot from them (and will review
them as needed . *I too was disappointed in the "sneak up on" advice. That's
the part that always bites me. *The jig is a fantastic idea (a hint on how to
make them would be nice) and I'll steal that part, however I'll do my best to
figure out a way around the "sneak up on" part. *


IS there a reason you used such a small router bit? *It would seem like a 1/2"
bit in a 3/4" bushing, or some such, would be easier and give a known "sneak
up" factor.


Those are the same questions I have. Why sneak up rather than make the
line the first cut?

And the small bit had me pondering too.

The jigs are great, but I don't really get the rest of the technique.
It seems to me with a bit more thought they could be modified to
eliminate the sneaking.


I don't own the appropriate guide bushing. Would love to hear any
suggestions regarding the sneaking up other than "use an indexing
pin". Where would you put an indexing pin?
