Ha! Ha! I enjoy making and figuring out my own stuff. My jig is made out of 2 clamps from Harbor Freight, a 2x4, bungee cord and a metal brace. My router came with the base and the 2 rods....
Oh boy, don't even get my started on Harbor Freight. It's my favorite haunt for buying tools that I modify for other purposes. I do love their metal quick release, screw handle, bar clamps. I can walk in the store and always find something useful.

That bear claw is so very awesome!

Coming along very nicely Benjy. That tops looks awesome too. Wish the sides would have worked. Haven't seen anymore Padauk like that since.
