These look like great little projects.
I have a suggestion about making them.
Place the fence on your router table to the farthest point and use 1" blocks to create auxilliary fences. So you would make the first slot, slide the aux fence out of the way, then make the second cut and so on. That way you could create your bit alignment points once, and once your router fence was locked down it should be good to go.
Jeremy, You could set up stop blocks sure.. that would keep you accurate so you dont run over…. also here is a link to Jerry Browns facebook photos where he made the jig also, he actually drew lines on his router table …
Very interesting, and well done. I saw a show making these with cuts that had arcs. I like both styles of them, look fwd to making a batch… Thx for the post.
Ken, as for the trivets with the arches, in the newest Woodworker's Journal Winter edition 2013 magazine called Router Project an Techniques, available at Lowe's hardware is an article on making trivets along with a jig you can build which allows you to make these trivets with the arches..
