here`s how i approach the task, down-n-dirty mdf throwaway jigs `cause the likelyhood of having to cut the same parts in the same fashion is next to nill and scrap is plentyfull.....

ready for runnin` the "guard" is a holddown too, that`s why the screws are loose.

guard removed, notice the copious amount of "woodlube"....(wax)

VERY cool Tod, nice to see how it is done.

I'd love to have MDF here to play with, but it is just about as expensive as hardwood here.... :eek:

Cheers!
 
nice setup and use of offcuts tod

may i ask how you go about cutting those to fit the door (or whatever)
