Does anybody have a web-site for different types of home made jigs. My first project will call for dadoes. I don't have a router table yet, so I want to make some kind of jig to do this with. Thank you, I enjoy reading all the threads.:)

I've made a few of these for myself and friends. It's self aligning, self clamping and cuts the width sized to the thickness of the male part. You can find it at Shopsmith # 76.

The jig Joe showed is probably the most useful, one bit cuts many sized dados.

Here's Glen Huey showing a few simple but handy router tricks.
