Man Mike, You should offer that up to Kreg as a special order
commemorative issue jig! The number 4 picture looks all kinds of
wrong, for some reason it looks like the blue insert and the walnut
side is at an angle. The other pictures look right. Optical
illusion thing going on there I am sure.

Yeah - must be. The insert fits into a routed dado, with a wrap around to
hold it from flopping forward - I guess just like the real Kreg jig does.
Must be a light thing going on.


How do you plan to anchor it to the work surface?

I have not drilled through holes to mount it to a larger board - may and may
not. One other thing that I had forgotten about is that I have to get the
right size washer to match up to one of my forsner bits, and then I'll let a
washer in and countersink the hole to accept a properly sized wood screw to
finish flush. Then - just clamp in down like the real Kreg does. I want to
use an oversize washer so if people who use it aren't real careful, they'll
have a big enough target to hit with a clamp face.


FWIW the Kreg base has 4 screw holes to attach it to a stationary
object. I use the Kreg washer head screws, 2 of them" to anchor it to
my work bench. I don't have it permanently attached to anything, I
screw it down each time I use it.
