Spline jig for picture frames and boxes

That's a neat fixture. Thanks for sharing!!

Hi Chuck, another nice and practical jig. It looks good and well done. Great!

Question 1: You installed your jig on a sled, which is clever, but is there any reason why you made it that high?

And by the way, I noticed that you are using (and hopefully enjoying) your new air compressor/nailer kit and retractable hose reel.

Question 2: Do you have one or two runners under the sled?

Best,

Serge

Hi Serge,

Q1: The pix could be deceiving, there's only 1/4" material left on the sides from the bottom. The sled rests on the two sides and it looks high up because I used 3/4" MDF - left-over pieces. The lowest point of the saddle is therefore 1/4" above the hardboard. (Wood Dec. /Jan. 2010-2011 P. 69 has a simpler jig for slime boxes.)

Q2: You can see two runners in the second picture.

The Bostitch brad nailer is nice with a mark showing where the brads come out; my Hitachi nailer doesn't have that but is much lighter. You can see I am still using the old compressor because it still works well.

Thanks for your interest and support.
