Workshop Essentials Festool Domino Jig

[Steve Maskery]

I've had a jig in my head for quite a while, so today I started to make it.

First I routed a groove down the length of a piece of MDF. It's wide and deep enough to take a flange nut.

I then drilled a couple of holes

and routed a groove between them

followed by a larger hole for hanging and access to the groove.

I measured the distance from the front of my bench to the back face of my bench dogs

Back on the router table I routed a rebate across one end, as wide as that measurement

and glued in a notched piece of wood

It's good, isn't it?

That is, without a doubt, the best looking thingmibob I've ever almost seen!

 

[Zeddedhed]

Thats not a Thingmibob.

It's a DooHickey. Everyone should have one.

 

[flying haggis]

Its not the same as the DooHickey I've got.....

 

[Steve Maskery]

You guys are not even trying.

[Monkey Mark]

Is it...... a bench dog assisted dado jig with adjustable stops?

 

[Steve Maskery]

No, but the bench dog bit is on the right lines.

 

[Steve Maskery]

Hint: I should have made it a couple of weeks ago.

 

[Monkey Mark]

Something to do with your new shutters?

 

[Steve Maskery]

It might be...

 

[Sporky McGuffin]

Is it for getting boy scouts out of horses' hooves?

 

[Zeddedhed]

You guys are not even trying.

My missus says I'm extremely trying.

But then she also says that absent minded nose-picking whilst watching TV is a disgusting habit, proving she doesn't know what she's talking about.

You're doing it, aren't you! You've managed to think it through, the sparkly flash of inspiration has struck (probably around 04:27 this morning) and you couldn't go back to sleep at all could you? You just had to make it and test it out. 'Cause this is definately the answer, you're sure of it. It's gonna make you a fortune, everyone on UKW will want it and at £300 a pop it'll be seen as a snip a bargain that we can't live without.

[Steve Maskery]

I so wish you were right!

PS:
When will it be available to buy or rent?

 

[blackrodd]

It's a cement sheet reducing attachment!

Something to allow squaring/routing/trimming the ends off a panel (whilst ensuring it's square)?

 

[Steve Maskery]

It's nothing to do with panels, but it is to do with ends.
Another hint: Most people will have no use for it whatsoever and will not be the slightest bit interested in it at all.

It's the entire output of BBC and ITV on a Saturday evening?

Are your shutters louvred by any chance?
Does if fit a router without any fine adjustment?
