I finally got around to building one, pressed primarily by another project I’m working on that requires a lot of half-laps in 2×4’s. At first I was thinking of building Black Wallnut’s jig but I decided to take the easy way out instead and build a quick fence-riding one based on the picture in this BT3Central article (which I found through Google.) I didn’t actually read the article because the diagram looked pretty self explanatory.
It was really quick and easy to build and it works like a charm. Now that I have it I can’t believe I didn’t just take the time to make it before.
I used MDF mainly with a little scrap oak and a touch of scrap pine to make it easier to hold on to.
Not very pretty — but it works great! 🙂
Here’s what I ended up with: (Click for larger images.)
