Adjustable Fluting Jig - Mini Router Jig

[@victoryismyne4794]

Great job building that “Guide”! - 👍🏼

[@ChristopherJones16]

This is exactly the kind of fluting jig i was looking for. Watched two fluting jig videos prior to this and they were designed for a large table and were fixed jigs. This portable adjustable sliding jig is an excellent design. I need this kind of jig because I want to flute some posts that are already attached to my deck so I need a jig I can use vertically.

[@DennyMK007]

Elongated jig like this one with longer edge fence would be perfect for dadoes and grooves. Thanks for the idea

[@marystralkus1319]

My husband thanks you, he made this Jig and it works great.

[@augielimon7029]

Knowing the threads per inch will take the brain work out. Simply turn the desired amount of turns for a given distance and bang! Accuracy guaranteed.... awesome!

[@martincontreras2614]

Hi Colin, first of all happy holidays for you and your Family, I will start by saying that I'm thankful for been able to watch your vídeos, and that like some one already said that you are always smiling and look so happy sharing your vídeos.

[@kerrygibbs8198]

Truly a master wood worker. Thank You for sharing your great ideas.

[@garrysmythe]

Hi Colin, just found this video just as I am about to make a radiator cover, with fluting panels at each end, PERFECT, thanks for posting, you've just made it much easier. many thanks and keep posting. from Garry in the UK

[@johnd942]

Two in One: A Great 'no-time-wasting' presentation; and a great idea for a router jig! Well done Colin. Great job!

[@bongie67]

Thanks Collin, been thinking of buying a router with micro adjust but this jig of yours is like a router with micro adjust. Again Thanks a lot.

[@jamesschenken1636]

Colin - This is the second time I have watched this particular video. Great trim router jig. One suggestion - There is room for a tape measure along the outside rails that could be used for positioning so that the number of turns needn't be counted to get repeatable flutes.

[@PauloHirth]

Big thank you from Brazil, can do with more easy and more precision.

[@hundredhundred-thousand7951]

once again, a great video from Colin. I recently bought myself a compact router with a trim attachment, and I cant wait to make some of these great jigs! Thank you, and keep up the great work!

[@bigsparky65]

Another fantastic jig

[@stevewalker7822]

Sometimes it's the simplest jigs that make something unique. Thx Colin.

[@royclemen7294]

Awesome jig, thanks for sharing. The lock nut is most likely called a Nylock, very useful and reusable.

[@hansdegroot8549]

Today afternoon, April 18th 2019, KZbin showed me on my smartphone, that you've released a new video. Later on at home I could not find any new video. So I went through your older videos and found this one. 16 months old, and I did not watch it till now... That's a very handy little jig. I can imagine to do a lot of things with that. Thanks for sharing

[@user-zp5jr2ie8p]

Wow great video sir! 😎👌🏻

[@raybrensike42]

I used to have to make flutes in the same width of material, repeatedly, so I made a fluting jig that only required centering (5 flutes), and from then on, it only required the loosening of a big knob, and sliding the top half, over the bottom half to the next flute, and doing that again, to make three predetermined and repeatable locations, so I could get the same 5 flutes. The design was based on two sections of the fluted material, putting one on top of the other, and the flats on one pieces, went into the flutes on the other. It took a lot of time figuring that out, and since the pieces were made of wood, eventually the thing began to deteriorate.

[@knecht105]

Thanks for the tip and thanks for watching!

[@kathleenbasieiwcz4636]

You never cease to amaze me. I learned something new.

[@knecht105]

You're Welcome, Kathleen!

[@ArcticFlies56]

Colin, great idea and easy to make and use.

[@jeblubberjeblubber1597]

Guten Morgen, Herr Knecht, das ist ein wirklich gutes Gerät, um mit einer kleinen OBERFRÄSE, schöne Verzierungen anzubringen. Frohe Weihnachten und ein glückliches neues Jahr 🎄🎄🎄🎉🎉🎉

[@WelshRabbit]

Making two flutes is easy. Making three or more and getting the spacing correct is hard. Your indexing threaded-rod system is the perfect solution.

[@rogerj7327]

doggone it Colin!.. I've been messing around with different forms of metal working for quite a few years and really didn't give a hoot about wood working. Now I've suddenly found myself subscribing and binge watching a whole slew of your videos. Either way, I just wanted to say that you are a great teacher my friend. Keep up the good work.

[@shamong9]

Merry Christmas & Happy New Year. Thank you for sharing the jig.

[@glennanderson8783]

A truly functional jig excellent Colin. I call it the little jig that could.

[@luderickwong]

Just for your infomation, you can find 316 stainless steel bars in hardware store with pre drill holes in various size. They come with a lot different length and width. Put a 3/4“ x 8“ under a 1“ x 8“, all you need is couple of screws and make a pair of this. you will have a stainless steel dovetail rail. I use it on my home made lathe. If the plastic is thicker than the bar, shim it with washer. Wood rail can have problems with moisture, but stainless steel don't. Besides that, the rail is as hard as a coffin nail. An advantage when you have something rotating 3000 turns per minutes. Worth a look.😊

[@hansdegroot8549]

Very original jig. It turned out very well and is practical to make beautiful flute ornaments on/in wood. Thanks for sharing, Colinn. And Merry Christmas.

[@knecht105]

Thank You and Merry Christmas to you too, Hans!

[@DaleHawkins]

Nice jig. Good work. Thanks for sharing.

[@DaleHawkins]

Also, I appreciate that you didn't try to hide the little snafu in the middle. Most of my projects seen to be created entirely from snafus. 😁

[@colinbutterfield8580]

Exactly what I need to make Mason Bee nest sections!. Thanks Colin!

[@edcrego396]

So what kind of bit did you use in your fancy dancy super duper jig

[@clivebashford2900]

Yet another great video and a very useful jig. Merry Christmas Colin and thank you for all your time and effort throughout the year.

[@knecht105]

Thank You Clive and Merry Christmas to you also!

[@superdrs1960]

Great jig Colin ! I am working on a jig to use on my lathe, I think this can work on that as well. Thanks for sharing .

[@Stormthirst]

Kinda cool. You can also use it to place off centre mortises

[@lelandwight8362]

Colin, why did you drill a pilot hole prior to using the Forstner bit?

[@standswithfish]

One of your best ideas yet!

[@steveday4797]

Excellent jig as usual Colin. Thanks for sharing 🖒

[@castillosammy7886]

thank you, my friend! keep em coming. i enjoy them all!

[@knecht105]

You're Welcome!

[@littlebullseye901]

Outstanding work!

[@ldwithrow08]

Neat little tool. I think I'll make one. If you make it long enough you could use is for a flattening tool as well. To make the slot down the center, why not just put a cutter in the router a bit bigger than the fluting bit and cut a perfectly centered slot?

[@tomhargrove4556]

This is a really nice jig, I plan on making one as I am making a new surround for my fireplace. Merry Christmas

[@valterleao6795]

PARABÉNS, adorei, quanta criatividade e amor no que faz! Muito obrigado por compartilhar comigo seus conhecimentos. Forte abraço aqui do Brasil 🇧🇷

[@RabbitwoodWorkshop]

that is very cool, I can definitely see that being very useful in the shop.

[@bernhardrottelberger5079]

Hi ,eine super Idee Danke schön!!!

[@harrydavis6903]

I like the jig Colin. I will make one. Thank you for your videos. Merry Christmas.

[@sapelesteve]

Awesome jig Colin! Happy Holidays to you & yours..................

[@jamess4086]

What do you use for clear plastic? I picked up some off Amazon. Seems pretty brittle, splinters easy when trying to countersink holes.

[@royreynolds108]

Instead of the T-nut use a thread insert that has coarse threads for wood on the outside and machine screw threads on the inside. I used 4 of these to replace wood screws to hold a cover plate over a plumbing access and they worked great.

[@mattakamel7545]

Good work

[@knecht105]

Thank You!

[@marcosajorda3872]

Love this jig and all your other videos. Gotta say tho, your laughs get me for some reason lol

[@pedrotorrescastillio3353]

Muy bien y especial plantilla ✋🇨🇷saludos

[@muaythai2005]

Thank you for a great video and sharing your experience!

[@nobull-dozer3356]

Well done Colin . Another brilliant idea excellently explained sir .

[@johan5628]

Hi! I’ve been waiting for this one! Thanks Colin, and Merry Christmas! Or, God Jul, as we say in Sweden,

[@knecht105]

You are welcome. Merry Christmas to you too Johan!

[@Bramsshed1913]

An excellent little jig ! Cheers, Bram

[@dsdragoon]

Excellent jig! Thank you. Merry Christmas!

[@jameslund221]

How did you know that you were not going to deep with the forstner bit for the router screw hole?

[@rick91443]

Have been trying to find the time to watch this video now for three days. Christmas Day, so I've got the time...Thanks again for all your very informative videos Colin, and a very merry Christmas...cheers...richard from Normandy

[@joycemiller4716]

Nice one from England

[@Strategic_Workshop]

шикарная тема , благодарю

[@FirstLast-kr1fw]

Merry Christmas Colin.

[@knecht105]

Merry Christmas to you too!

[@JT_70]

Love the jig. I'm thinking That I might want to add a ruler or tape on the frame and a pointer on the plate for precise spacing of the flutes.

[@brianmarcum4829]

Excellent jig Colin.i gotta admit you lost me for a minute. But the final result was very nicely done. Thanks

[@dspada1965]

Excellent!!! The genius is in the simplicity Exelente!!! La genialidad esta en la simpleza

[@josecenteno1454]

As simple as impressive

[@FranksDIY]

That is an awesome jig that I can use in the future. Thanks for sharing and have a Merry Christmas Colin

[@hamdyxone]

This is amazing jig and can be used in to may ways . Happy Christmas Thanks

[@knecht105]

You're Welcome! Merry Christmas Andy!

[@raceroz]

Love the vids! Keep them coming. Never seen mustard used as glue though. Lol

[@robertrickman3531]

I thought the Same thing...I even went to my fridge and looked at a mustard bottle...

[@czellner5894]

Nice design Colin. If I might, you could add a small pointer to the fabbed clear base and a 12" ruler to the hold-down rail. This way you don't need to count crank turns. Which would also help if you were making several identical pieces. Merry Christmas, HoHoHo

[@opasworkshop8373]

That's an amazing jig Colin thanks for sharing! Merry Christmas and a happy and prosperous New Year to you and yours!

[@andreww6738]

Very nice Colin, this looks to be a great jig! I will have to build one like that. Always enjoy watching your videos, they are always inspiring. Any idea how to do a "Tapered flute" using this jig? What I mean is where at the ends of the flute the router is slowly dropped or raised, while the router is moving so the flute comes to a point. I can only think of using a shim type of stock so the router plate would ride up/down on the face of the shim stock. Love the jig. : ) Andrew

[@harveyellis6758]

Very cool & handy jig to have. Wishing you a very Merry Xmas.

[@RyanNiemer]

Another great video, and yet another project I'm going to have to do. I guess I need to finally go buy that trim router.... Happy Holidays!

[@dmmflys]

Awesome jig thanks for sharing

[@refrigeration304]

Awesome going to make me one. Like today. Thank you.

[@obieone7675]

Very nice jig very helpful,think you could do a jig for fluting on the wood lathe? Merry xmas

[@WoodsleeSummercraftwoodturning]

Nice Jig Colin, I think I'll have to make one of those Take care Rob

[@misoman]

Nice video, but I can't help thinking using the router for the hole would have been faster and more precise than the jig and forstner. Am I missing something?

[@aaudain1]

Awesome tips, great job, thanks for sharing

[@knecht105]

You are welcome Anthony!

[@jayherde0]

Nice jig. Kinda needs one more piece of wood tho. A thin spacer strip, maybe a piece of yardstick on edge, at the beginning of the flute might give you some 'careful' backwards cut to remove any burning.

[@knecht105]

That might be a good addition to Version 2 ... thanks for watching!

[@chefp1472]

Great work!! Thanks!

[@williammiller64]

Dear Colin, great video!! I have a question for you. in the video, you used a razor blade inside a wood piece. Is that something you made, and do you have a video showing how you made it? Thank you for sharing your wonderful skills with us. Deb and Bill

[@telosfd]

I like to watching your projects, that was perfect. By my opinion i will add to oposite side of the handle a moovable slid fence to hold the router firmly in position and also a ruler us a guide to keep dimentions in sequence.

[@knecht105]

Those would be great additions!

[@jiml9944]

Vibration will rotate the all thread. Add a locknut.

[@TheWoodYogi]

Great idea Colin :) This could be used for many applications. I wouldn't limited it to fluting :) Thank you. Merry Christmas to you and all around you ॐ

[@Mr.Smiley.1981]

Amazing.. what about the depth? Is there any tool we can use to control the depth we need ? Please??

[@BUDGETWOODWORKING]

Merry Christmas. Thank you for the video. I play the flute a bit on my channel too.

[@risby2]

Many thanks

[@knecht105]

Many welcomes :)

[@neilcruz7405]

Amazing jig, gonna try and make one, but I’ll guess I’ll make it entirely out of Lexan or any other of those “plastics”, I live in an island; Merry Christmas

[@LeosTueftelei]

Excellent !

[@johansnyder1641]

Happy Christmas from South Africa

[@tdavey5599]

Hi Colin,--two questions if you don't mind--how did you do the intro for your videos, the lights and the sounds--very nice but subtle too--also, what prompted you to start recording your videos for all of us to see--and thank you very much for another GREAT video

[@ccccen]

Very nice but my mind went into making this to hold the router side way and making a riser for the router in a bench, using your concept for a lifter :) think about it, same mechanism side to side or up and down . :)

[@darrolmcroberts8614]

Hey Colin, this might be a dumb question but what type of router bit do you use?

[@robertbrunston5406]

Clever! Thank you.

[@EngraBlast.]

They need a "love it" button on here.

[@knecht105]

Thanks!

[@shaheenamrou]

Amazing idea , Thank you for sharing :))

[@lozweir]

nice jig but did notice the minimum width would be too wide to flute legs

[@patrickcras1]

Merry Christmas from Belgium

[@ahmedsalem13]

It is good show for all

[@knecht105]

Thank You!
