I got around to using the Plunge Router Mortising Jig<\/a> this morning to create the mortises in the legs for the Craftsman Style Coffee Table that I have under construction.<\/p>\n
Coffee Table<\/div>\n

There are 3 mortises per leg, 2 at the top and 1 near the bottom. The 2 at the top are for the skirt that will go around the table, under the top and the 1 near the bottom is for a stretcher that runs between the legs on the short side.<\/p>\n

Here is a close-up of the top mortises showing both the mortises for the long and short sides:<\/p>\n

Coffee Table Legs<\/div>\n

The jig worked quite well. However, because some of the mortises were near the end of the legs where there was no place to clamp a stop block a lot of care had to be taken when approaching this end of the mortise. This sometimes led to burning of the wood in those areas.<\/p>\n

Next I have to create the tenons on the skirts and stretchers that will fit in these mortises.<\/p>\n
