Of the mass of mortise jig offered on youtube, I must say, yours is a very straight forward and very simple design for very accurate mortises. Thank you for sharing.
Although I am Russian, everything is very clear and understandable to me. I wish you success and, most importantly, health like a bear.
Wow... This is a very good idea to me
Just what I need and was looking for. Thanks so much!
Perfect! What an easy jig to do!!!! Thank's for showing!
You're welcome! Thanks for watching!
What an incredibly simple version of this jig. I love it. I can also imagine it would be really stable if you're strictly plunge cutting with it.
genious, just genious sir.
Thanks so much for your videos. I have been terrible at routing and all of the jigs seem to need you to route long grooves. This looks like one I can actually make. You must have been a teacher. Thanks again! I'm so excited to try this!
Exactly what I need ! 👍 Thanks Colin
You're welcome! Thanks for watching!
Very simple, very easy. Looks very good! Thanks
It’s always a good morning when I awake to another new video from you, Sir! Thank you for another very useful tutorial for a very useful jig. Gonna make it today.
You're welcome, Kathy! Thanks for watching.
Wow this one seems much more convenient than the one you made two years prior to this one. Great stuff - thanks!
This is so clever! Thank you 👍
Another brilliant little jig. Thanks Colin
Cheers, Bram
You're Welcome, Bram!
Nicely done Colin! Easy set up & appears to work well. Thanks for yet another great idea!
You're welcome! Thanks for watching!
a brilliant invention. It greatly facilitates and speeds up the work process. Thanks for the video.
As all your vidéos that one is excellent.

great idea. your watch made me think of an article i saw this week about a local clock collector who just found an original seth-thomas wooden gear clock. worth quite a bit
OMG!!!
So Simple! So Sweet!
Great tip and simple, thank you.
You're Welcome!
It is a brilliant idea to use this way of centering,using the trim or plunge router.
I had learned many useful ideas from your videos.
Thanks a lot,and good luck.
Thanks for the great tip. I’m headed to my shop now!
Excellent! So simple and so useful. Thanks!
You're Welcome!
What a great jig. Very simple.
Thank You!
Colin, you're the best!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
what a quick simple solution / fix / use for the router and base Thanks Colin
You're welcome! Thanks for watching!
Excellent jig!
Good idea, congratulations !
Fantastic jig, very easy to make. Thanks for the nice tip
Very simply idea. As always, simple ideas are the best.
Funny, just last week, I was drawing on a sketchup model of a similar self-centering baseplate.
In addition to routing, you can also use this baseplate / jig for drilling "holes-on-a-row" in a board.
-This also "automatically" makes the holes 90° to the surface, without any further effort.
In my case, I'll be making a separate jig for my handheld drill, since I often need several centered holes on a row, and it's easier to find a drill-bit of the correct size.
You have great tips that I can always use. Thanks
You're welcome, Anna! Thanks for watching.
You are the best with Izzy swan. Best regards from Algeria.
This inspired me to add slots for two pins on my homemade router table for centering slots! Can't see the mortise while routing but with stops or marks it does the job as well!
Hi Patrik. I love this jig from Colin Knecht. I am a new woodworker and recently purchased a router and I am happy with basic operation, but your mentioned an issue that I really struggle with - start and stop points. It is nearly impossible to see - at least on my Bosch router - any pre-drawn lines through the hole in the base. If you or anyone in the comments can suggest good ways of ensuring a good crisp start and finish for a mortice. Thanks!
Real unique and simple, extremely great
exciting stuff
Como sempre, um show de sabedoria, me impressiona a habilidade do Amigo!
Abraço aqui do Brasil 🇧🇷
Neat idea! I'm going to try this same thing but make the little holders slide up and down that line (via channel) and lock in with a twist so that I can have offset and accommodate a large variety of thicknesses
Esto es algo que andaba buscando hace tiempo, eres de los mejores artistas de la madera, contigo se puede aprender bastate, un abrazo Amigo Woodworkweb.
That's pretty cool 🏂
Awesome cool idea
I like the KISS method! Great job!
Thank You!
very interesting as always. thank you colin.
You're welcome, Mark ! Thanks for watching.
Waw, you learn something new everyday, thanks for a great tip
Bravo, that i was thinking last night. Nice job.
Thank You!
Great tip. Going to have to make this.
Hope it helps! Thanks for watching!
Nice watch!
Great tip. Thanks.
You're Welcome!
That has a great number of uses, I don't have a router table yet but with that jig I would be able to run a rebate down a piece of wood and get it central which would mean I don't have to turn the wood around and run the router through again to get a central rebate. Great jig. Thanks Colin. Cheers Huw
You're welcome! Thanks for watching!
That's an excellent and simple idea! As a suggested enhancement, perhaps you could make the base round, to allow you to use stop blocks to control the cut - however you rotate the router, the distance to the stops would then remain the same.
Nice and perfect idea ,, thank you so much.
You're welcome! Thanks for watching!
Thanks ! Great video .
You're welcome! Thanks for watching!
Very Cool Jig!
Thank You!
That's awesome. Simple design and easy to use. Although, when you mentioned adding material to offset the mortice, I immediately thought of just using different size dowel guides of offset the center hole, to act as a cam? Just a thought, because I can see how cumbersome trying to clamp extra stock would be, on smaller projects. 👍 Great video, as usual and thanks for sharing!
Great jig and idea! Kudos 👌
Thanks for watching!
Nice router jig Colin! Thanks for sharing the video with us.👍😎JP
You're Welcome, thanks for watching, JP!
😎
good idea, thanks.Прикольная приспособа,беру на заметку.
You're Welcome!
Great again, and thanks Colin...cheers...rr Normandy, FRa
You're welcome, Richard! Thanks for watching.
I don't use them often but transfer punches are a great thing have in your shop.
Very Cool Sir an thanks for the knowledge
You're welcome! Thanks for watching!
I like the new base! I added a couple of guide pins to my own router -- also Bosch just like yours -- using bushings and M4 machine screws directly into the metal base. It was just a matter of finding two tapped holes opposite each other along the diameter and equally distant from the centre. Your method, though, would work with any router. Nicely done!
Thanks for the tip and thanks for watching!
Great and very clever idea.
Thank You!
Nice!
Well, good idea.
Thank You!
Parabéns excelente ...gostei
Hey Colin.
Great inexpensive jig that would especially get those whom are newer to woodworking up a level by routing mortises.
This coupled with one that Jesse the Samuri Carpenter showed on CZcams would be a great pair together.
Not to be too critical, however the Forstner bit created a counterbore, not a countersink ..
Thanks for sharing!!
Peace
Thanks for watching!
You cease to amaze and teach all of us - thanks
Nice idea, espero esté bien escrito. Gracias por compartir tu conocimiento. Tks,, from México.
You're welcome! Thanks for watching!
Excellent. merci beaucoup
Thank You!
very very very good job
Thank You!
Awesome what a simple idea. Just wondered if you could use a cam on the dowel so can alter the cut
Pretty cool jig. Similar to the center finding marking device.
Yes, it is. Thanks for watching, Joe.
Hi Thanks, Master, it was an interesting idea👍
You're welcome! Thanks for watching!
très intéressant
You all ways have good ideals that help some one
Thank You!
Clamping between 2 larger pieces would give the necessary stability to cut the mortise in the endgrain piece. Could be a small/thin moxon vise
You got it, that's how todo end grain with this jig. Thanks for watching!
Hi Colin, another good video. Could you provide a link to the router table you own, I'm looking for a new one and like yours....Thanks!
Brilliant
Thank You!
Hi thank you for posting this video.
I’m new to all this, but should the dowel pins not be on the opposing diagonals in order to prevent the router wondering off centre due to it’s rotation’s tendency to pull to the left, just in case you relax the pressure being applied from the left hand?
Great video and content.
Kind regards, Joe.
Dittos to the kudos!
Thank You!
You can replace two sticks with two bearings for better sliding.
Excellent idea. The only improvement I would suggest is to clamp same thickness material on both sides of the wood to stop the router wobbling
im new to woodwork..bout 4 months orso now...ive spent most of that time aquiring an old table saw & planer..takin those apart to refurbish....ive learnd soooo much in just doin that....anyhow..ikno this vid was posted a few yrs ago..but im jus now seein it🤷😁....my question is...."is there a purpose for usin "plexiglass" instead of mdf or sum semblance?
Great video and hello from Australia!
You said you don't use this process much anymore, do you use another system?
Thanks, Oli
👍👍👍👏
Thanks for your video! I set out to make this jig but when I ordered my piece of plexiglass , I accidentally ordered 1/2 thick instead of 1/4. Can I still make this work before I return the 1/2 inch. Thanks
Funny how you try to pronounce your last name. Knecht is actually a dutch word. Did your ancestors emigrate to the USA? Knecht means servant.
Very clever jig by the way. I am impressed.
Nice if you want a slot at a distance from the end of the wood, But what if you want it in the end grain of a 3/4" by 2 " ??
Very simple and accurate idea! Subriced all the way from beautiful Barbados...welcome to visit us once the all clear is issued.
When he introduces himself it sounds like he is saying this is "Calling Connect".
Hi, kenet, what if the mortise is close to the end of the material, I think using this jig shoud be dificult??
👍😃
Colin, great idea and very simple. As always I'm looking to make jigs as cheaply as possible due to my limited budget. Can you see any reason you couldn't just add the pins to the original plastic router base?
My router has similar circular slots in the base. I wonder if if adding the two pins with suitably wide washers would work? Or just drilling holes in the base.
Maxx B I’ve gone and made this today after watching the vid this morning.....mid way through I asked myself the same question as you. Underneath my original base the router possesses enough ‘voids’ to accommodate the gluing-on of, say, a nut or wood or even plastic (onto the underside of the original base).....in this way it would be easy to screw in two bolts (which then become the pillars) via either the use of the nut or by ‘tapping’ a thread into the additional thickness of the plastic or wood. These pillars would then be able to be added or removed when required......and therefore making use of the original base.....not for me though as I’m happy with what Colin’s enabled me to make.
No real reason at all (depending on your router base). I simply usually make different bases as I have many jigs I like to take on and off my routers.
You certainly could, but once you've had a clear base on your router you'll never want to put that black one back on. The extra visibility is well worth the investment in the Plexiglas.
Would 1/8 in thick be too thin for the acrylic? 🤔
What if you need to put the mortise closer to the end?
Two dowels same side, fixed fence.
Are the pegs shouldn't be a little bit longer? The router is swaying, so the slot will be a little curver
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
now that you have the mortise cut in the long portion of the rail or stile how do you use the jig to cut the mating 2 or 3 inch piece.
Maybe clamp it in a vice with a piece of board either side of it.
Just a thought. 🤔🤔🤔
