home-made tenon router jig

[Tarhead]

I have a .pdf version of a plan for a similar one I found somewhere. PM me an email address and I'll send it. The M&T templates should be made based on the plans. Draw out an actual size pattern on paper of the mortise and use a hand saw/jigsaw/band saw or freehand with a router as close as you can to the line. Then, true up the edges with a chisel and file. Practice on a 2x4 cut-off. MDF, hardboard(Masonite) or plywood can also be used instead of plastic.
