Why Didn’t I Think of this Before? Essential Tool for Woodwork – Super Deluxe Model

A new and significantly improved variation of the router jig I made in a previous video. This one is much easier to make and more solidly built. It likewise has guide wings that the base of the router fits on that line up precisely with the recess you require to cut. And yet there's more! It has rulers to make a recess cut to the ideal size quickly and precisely.

  1. 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.

  2. Man, I bet you “hear all about it” from the safety police about the way you use your table saw!!

    I have GOT to make one of those fences. I love love LOVE your table saw fence!!

  3. 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!

  4. 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.

  5. Brilliant, John! Fantastic work! 😃
    Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

  6. 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!

  7. It’s always a pleasure watching you come out with such handy projects, while showing all of your techniques. Best, Serge

  8. Great video. Zen quality about it that makes me want to go spend the day in the shop just casually building stuff.

  9. 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!

  10. Simple, light and easy to use… Bravo!
    I thought that that router comes with a round base? Perhaps you prefer the one in the video for stability??

    Well done!

  11. As we used to say when I was a kid, that jig is “pretty damn slick.” Nicely done!

  12. 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

  13. 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.

  14. The efficiency of your solutions to common problems is just something else. I learn so much watching your videos.
