  • A new and greatly improved version of the router jig I made in a previous video. This one is easier to make and more solidly built. It also has guide wings that the base of the router fits on that line up exactly with the recess you need to cut. And yet there's more! It has rulers to make a recess cut to the perfect size quickly and accurately.

    That certainly is Super Deluxe. I've always found it interesting how that works. You start making a project and then, when you are finished, you sit back and look at it and think "I wonder how I can make it better?" Especially when it comes to jigs and fixtures. Great upgrade to an already great jig!

      Oh I can relate, it even happens as I go. I also have that happen in my regular job all the time, except that since it's writing software, I can modify things before they go out in the world an infinite number of times without having to redo them from scratch. With woodworking it's a bit more cumbersome ha ha, and I find myself planning a lot more from the start to avoid wasting material, including playing around in CAD a lot (too much?) before building anything ... And ever there I end up redoing part of the stuff ...

    good stuff. that's an excellent jig.
    if you don't want to make different sized wings for the offsets. i suppose you could make it for 1 side of the router base and turn the router for every side...
    your way makes routing it faster for sure and leaves little room for error. as long as you orient the jig with the router you're good.

    So many 'job-specific' router jigs out there, this is definitely the go-to all purpose model we need. A simple construction too - I'd get a patent on it, John if I were you! Not sure if the rulers are neccessary, bespoke alignment is probably more accurate. Loved the spline idea but OCD, I'd have put one in all the edges!

      Sadly, although this is a very nice idea, it is not worth patenting because (a) John has given the instructions for copying it, and (b) if a big company wants to just steal it, they will. If this makes John unhappy, he can hire a lawyer at $200/hr and sue them. They already have a building full of staff lawyers. He'll go bankrupt trying to enforce his patent. This kind of fight is only worth engaging in if billions of dollars are at stake. That was the case for the patent on the laser, and, even in that case, it took decades of lawsuits and millions of dollars to enforce the original patent.

      Thus spake Negative Nellie, the epitome of a prophet of doom.
      By your logic nothing should ever be patented or copyrighted as it will likely be stolen anyhow and the cost of pursuing litigation will far outweigh any lost income.
      No doubt your computer is full of pirated software, music, videos, games, etc.
      No doubt you allow and encourage people to take for free that which you labour to create and rely on for your income.
      FYI - the fact that John has published the plans does not preclude him from subsequently applying for a patent / copyright and, provided no one else has beaten him to it, being awarded said patent / copyright.
      Equally, anyone who reproduces John's invention can try to beat John to apply to register a patent. However this YT video would greatly assist John to contest such an application.
      Patents and copyrights protect a product from reproduction for COMMERCIAL use.
      Being granted a patent / copyright results in publication of the 'plans' for the product, which can then lawfully be referred to and applied for PRIVATE use, for reasonable educational purposes and for reasonable reference purposes.
      Possession of your pirated software, music, videos, games, etc. equates to theft of property and / or receipt of stolen property, not breach of patent / copyright.
      If you subsequently reproduce those pirated items with the intent of further distribution, THEN you have breached one or more patents / copyrights.
      The logical option, and the one taken by MANY wise inventive and creative 'John's' out there, is to take out a patent / copyright and SELL said copyright, possibly with ongoing commission / royalties, to a large company that deals in such matters.
      The vast majority of 'clever tools' found in your local 'Tools-R-Us' were designed and developed by 'backyard' inventors like John and the patent sold to a large tool manufacturing company that has resources sufficient to protect its interests - and to commercially produce the item. (There's not much point having a patent if you lack the financial resources to produce the item.)
      Your assertion that it is pointless to patent the design of this tool is extremely myopic.

      It can be pretty dangerous routing a through slot in a narrow piece of wood, you'd have to use a jig or modified push block to hold it safely. Gluing might take the same time as to router it in a safe manner.
