Title: Jig Building Day
Post by: matts2 on August 28, 2011, 08:10:00 PM
I am getting everything ready to attempt to build 3 piece takedowns.  I have my form almost done but today I decided to work on laying out the riser and wedges.  I went ahead and built a couple jigs for the table saw to make life easier.

I am going off the Bingham's pronounced longbow plans.  This jig is for the riser.  Clamp the wood in it and cut the angle on one side.  Flip the wood and cut the angle on the other side.

This one is for cutting the wedges.  I went with a wedge with a flat.
