I’ve followed your channel from nearly the start Mark, and I must say, your enthusiasm is still ‘catching’. I’m impressed the way you have developed the workshop and introduced different machines and self made kit. This was another interesting video. I’ve made something similar and (I’m also prone to over engineering) and used some L shaped ally trim down each side to prevent nicking the wood. Yes, I caught it a couple of times but a quick sanding along the length helped. Keep at it mate. Loving watching how it’s all developing. Wayne

This is an excellent video, probably the best for this type of router jig that I have seen, and I’ve watched an awful lot of these videos.

The joinery on this piece is fascinating. It’s always cool to see how the right construction choices can completely change a project

To not worry about chipping your jig with router, I would rather go for down cut compression router bit( these make much cleaner cuts). Then on the top of the jig surface put 2 straight ages that router would be guided by. This way even if you bit in to edge it won't affect the cut because you're not relying on template surface to be pefect anymore.

Brilliant Jig Mark, best I've seen so far for a trim router - will definitely be making one! (probably with your plans, as my brain can't process the build and I'll definitely get it wrong haha)
