- Опубліковано 28 тра 2022
- 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.

John, You’re always thinking and improving upon your own great ideas. Almost a genius..almost.
We would love to see some plans for this jig John..
cheers from Australia :)
You are very talented and encouraging.
It nice to see someone that not afraid to face new challenges and build your own tools .👍🏽
Great idea! Thank you for showing this!
That's what this job is about, I didn't realized that before my apprenticeship - I thought I'll build furniture right of the bat... but nooooo, there is the big fun of puzzling out every time new jigs! I love it!
Greetings from cologne!
👍🇱🇷🇱🇷🇱🇷
I very much appreciate your video start, no tease, no intro video, no commercials. I always watch your videos all the way through then the commercials I can accept.
It's always a pleasure watching you come out with such handy projects, while showing all of your techniques. Best, Serge
Simple and elegant as all of your projects. Love it!
The efficiency of your solutions to common problems is just something else. I learn so much watching your videos.
Brilliant, John! Fantastic work! 😃
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Great video. Zen quality about it that makes me want to go spend the day in the shop just casually building stuff.
I really like this jig. It is convenient and easy to use. What a great idea.
Looks like a lot of fun to make it, and the design is so simple even I could do it, Thanks John, excellent Sunday morning view, cheers!
Hello
I have everything I need to make this! Will make this one for sure.
I love and appreciate inventive tools like this. Tangent: the push-to-pop-up bench dog is one of the coolest things I've seen yet. Can you say more about them? thanks
Genius woodworking.
Genius editing.
Genius music.
Genius video.
I had to watch this twice because the first time I was too impressed by the editing quality to pay attention to the project. Excellent job!
Beautiful work, simple, effective and clean. Will be making one asap.
As always, a really good project! Congrats!
Absolutely brilliant! Definitely one of the useful jigs that most people will actually be able make 🙌🏻
Thank you, that was great. I loves how you used the screws to make your threaded rods
Amazing concept, execution and video as always!
Nice work John! Thank you for sharing the video with us!👍💖😎JP
Looks awesome! Thanks John!
That's a fantastic idea. This video is going straight to my playlist of things to make.
Top notch video and project. We'll done! 👌
Thanks for sharing those tips and the make!
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!
And so it has been throughout the history of mankind.
From the humble wheelbarrow we now have road-trains and rail trains several kilometres long.
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 ...
This is exactly what I have been waiting for! Can't wait to build it.
Awesome job! Funny, I had this exact idea pop into my head 2 weeks ago and then I turn on youtube and this is the very first video I see this morning 😆 You read my mind!
Excellent jig. Absolutely love it. 👍👍
Definitely improved. Beautiful!
Always love watching you make your cuts. Nice idea and excellent product placement and use of a number of earlier projects
👍👍🤝
I love your videos. So simple and yet so useful jig that you explain so well how to make. Kudos.
As always, very clever John! As mentioned below, great way to start my Sunday morning. I can see that this is going to be a great addition to have around the shop! Thanks for posting
👍👍🤝
Very nice little jig. Very clever construction using strips to preclude need to cut slots. I hate doing that, too.
Very cool. Same concept as the Festool MFS router template jigs. Festool purchased it years ago from a German company, sold it world wide, then seemed to ditch selling it in the US. Woodpeckers now has their own. As you'd expect, neither are inexpensive.
You have a wonderfully creative and brilliant mind.
Absolutely brilliant. Master at work. 👍🏼
I just had the same idea yesterday... Glad it works like a charm!
Very thankful for this idea. Great design.
You are quite talented, after watching you do this twice I'm still lost. I guess this is beyond my pay grade, however, you have fantastic tools. What I love most about this craft, you are limited only by your imagination. Thank you for sharing.
Many times I could have used a jig like this! Well done.
Good morning, John ! What a great way to start my week, have an awesome one :) Fist bumps from Canada
Excellent jig. I really like it. Thanks for sharing it.
John, great design, execution and illustration. I was just thinking about creating such a jig, but I will end those thoughts and use your design.
I like these tools, is it easy to do, very descriptive. Thank you!
Brilliant idea 👍 thanks for sharing your knowledge with us all.👏👏👏👏👏👏
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.
Very cool. Yet another impressive build
Superb editing. Really good. I like the build too.
Wow! Did it again, John….. Genius idea - and one walnut spline!
Great improvement to an already great jig!
Very clever contraption !
Way to go John, love-it. Thank-you.
Thats fantastic and only the other day I was wondering if such a device existed whilst I was cutting some doors for a camper kitchen unit, my question has been answered..... Thank you got my subs`
Great idea and an easy to make router jig. Thanks
Just a brilliant idea !!! thank you for sharing that !
I love that you talk. it sounds silly but it makes a big difference.
I have also seen this done with AL t-channels
Many thanks for this idea. I also did it. It was very handy.
Pur and simple, brilliant thank you 👍👏
As we used to say when I was a kid, that jig is "pretty damn slick." Nicely done!
Awesome work John! 😃👍🏻👊🏻
Love this design, should be a great time saving tool. Great work
Thnks for watch
I will give it a try. Nice idea!
Cool. Nice job. Thanks for sharing
Absolutely brilliant!
I thought of this years ago but this works great for marking the small end of a log for sawmilling. Centering the Mark's to square the cant.
Well done, I will try it myself. Many thanks for the interesting video.
Good to see the less “cranial explosive” format video.
Great idea for the Trim Router!
Fukuda Router Tool
The original adjustable square jig tool was designed by Mark Fukuda.
Duplicate any square or rectangle
shape precisely. The size of this tool is 12" x 12" for the max cutout size. Machined from 1/2” aircraft grade 6061 billet aluminum, brushed finish, clear anodized for smooth operation, knurled nylon adjustment screws and stainless steel stop screws.
These are really nice, man. Good improvement over the other ones.
excellent solution! 👏👏👏👏👏
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!
too late. prior art.
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.
@@paulkolodner2445 I suppose I said it as some kind of capitalist compliment but you're so right!

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.
Wow. This is the best one I've seen. Dang...why didn't I thought about it first. Lol.
Yes I will make this as it seems to be to be the best and easiest to make and use Many Thanks John
Okay I have built it now and it works great and was thinking of how and what to adapt it to use for the dado tool you recently made
So logical, So simple and most of all, So very elegant. Every now and then, somone comes along and trnsends all accepted ways of doing things. Thats just what you've done with this jig. Once again, its really as simple, logical and elegant as a full proof way of doing something can be. Well done John, Cheers!
👍👍👍
Great glue up jig as well
I really like your inventions AND how your present them.

Nice work, thanks!
Very good idea & design 👍
This is very good. I especially like the way you made the arms without using a router... some of us aren't that confident when it comes to routing a slot.
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.
Thank you. I will make sure I get a lot more practice with a router before tackling anything requiting experience and confidence. I am aware that John makes things look easy because he is highly skilled and I am very aware that I am not. However, I am a keen student.
Def building this, this week.
Looks great for juice groves and router table inserts
Very nice John , now that is a useful tool indeed 😁😁👍👍
This is so nice and also learning a bunch of techniques watching you build it. Thanks for all these inspiring educative videos. Learning and would like to build one.
One quick question - what type of wood is used for those strips you have used. Is it softwood like pine or is it hardwood? Thanks for your help.
Another vital organic neat precession jig great commercial potential
nice work. mold making has similar tools for making adjustable mold sizes for box molds. simple L shaped mold walls you clamp together on the corners.
Pretty slick!
Excelente herramienta Estimado! Gracias!
Awesome John, like to add I much prefer the talkies after your video's
Отличное приспособление!
Nice work John, something I can actually do with my limited knowledge to skill conversion, lol. But I have to continue making many, many Mjolnir hammers in various sizes and materials because...who knows why.
Nicely done I like it
I did need this jig!!
excellent idea
Great idea
Very creative!
Sweet shop!
Very very nice idea
Great idea, very useful. It appears to me from another angle that two sides can be fixed as an L with rulers on them and the the other two sides movable.
So good I even let the video adds play after!
Hallo
Es gibt ja viele Fräsvorlagen, aber das ist mal eine die man leicht nachbauen kann. Dein Kanal ist auch super und die Videos gut erklärt.
