Just put this together:

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?

I'd be tempted to add a hold-down clamp to the jig, align the piece to
cut to your line (so the size of the bushing becomes irrelevant), clamp
it in place, and go from there.

That would certaintly make things easier. You'd have to add a clamp
at either end of the jig (remember I used both sides). Thanks for the
tip.
