wdwerker Posted October 24, 2014 Report Share Posted October 24, 2014 Looks like router templates of some sort. Never seen any quite like that before. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chefmagnus@grics.net Posted October 24, 2014 Report Share Posted October 24, 2014 wtnhighlander I think your right. My D4 jig had some teddy bear or wavy patterns available if I remember right. Chef Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kem Posted February 27, 2017 Report Share Posted February 27, 2017 Quote I've got one. It's a jig that does dovetails of many types and box joints. Last I heard, the inventor / entrepreneur / owner had gotten ill and closed the company. It has templates for sliding dovetails and those with 2" and 3" o.c. By resetting the stops, the 3" one can also do 1.5" o.c. When doing pins, you have to flip the angled guide over to finish the cuts. And for half-blind, you have some hand-work to clean up the tails. In addition to the templates you show, there are various sized stops With the flexibility, comes a lot of complexity. I saw the demo, went to a class, and it still took me 3 days of study and lots of notes as I figured things out. Now, when I use it, it takes me a while to refresh my memory. It's something a gadget mechanical engineer would love. If you don't have the 60+ page manual with dozens of charts and tables, I don't think the average woodworker would be able to figure it out. (I have a graduate and undergraduate degree in math, summa cum laude, so it's not just that simple to understand). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rabbet Hole Woodwork Posted March 30, 2017 Report Share Posted March 30, 2017 I would say defiantly router templates. The upper one looks like some sort of hole marking hinge jig. And the bottom ones look like they slide into a bigger jig. Whatever they are they are they are shop made jigs that only the creator can tell you for sure what they are would be my best guess.
