Project Nr4: testing the new Jig

After assambling the new Jig, I had to try it out on the feeding box. Looks promising.

The plunge depth was just not deep enough, so I had to perform a little jigsaw magic to cut the circles out of the board. But it turned out very nice.

A simple pass with the roundover bit to make a smooth edge...

Fits like a charm!

Project Nr4: assembly of the router jig

The feeding fox will be the same as my first one. The beggest difference will be the holes for the water and food bowls. (and maybe the finish as well 😉)
The purpose of this little jig is to be able to route circles that are smaller then the baseplate of my router... It's a a first try, hope it will work out fine.

It looks a little bigger than necessary, but I'll be able to route different sizes of circles without changing the jig. I'm going to try it out somewhere this week and upload the results as soon as possible.

Project Nr4: Feeding Box Nr 2, new jig for my router

After making the first feeding Box I needed some kind of Jig for my router to be able to cut smaller circles. The second box is for at my girlfriends place ;-)
I started off with cutting the boards to lenght, gluing and screwing them togethter.

Just as I finished the first corner, there was a call for the fire departement, so I had to leave erverything like is was and run...
