Don’t get the title wrong, this is not an adjustable box. which in itself would be novel, but a box for an adjustable jig that was posted at LJ on Mar 30, 2021
The jig in referencewas plagiarised from a Fe$tool MFS-700 and I believe in that thread, I hinted that I will post this… I never leave a hint undeterred…
better late than never.
Some may actually find this a tad better storage than the embarrassing original hang about (Note the red 3D printed hose connector.... hoses must have been imperial, as 2" will never be 50mm... even for large values of 25mm.)

0.700 Router Jig Box
Boys and Girls,
While trying to take my projects a tad more seriously, I tried to post the last project without my typical BS…
I tried but failed… at least failed to continue in that tempo.
After splinter's quote…
I just couldn't keep a straight face any more, and decided to take up the challenge.
Unfortunately this has been a rushed job and I haven't had enough time to formulate my normal long and boring saga.
Drawing (even if he didn't use SketchUp) on inspiration from Dutchy's blog (last two pictures), began the task of designing a box after modeling the subject router jig in SketchUp.
Initially I had issues with the box design,
Scratched my head and was plagued by splinters again, till I permitted Fe$tool to come to my salvation. Falling back on inspiration from their new Domino breakdown hardware, I realised it'd be easier to stow, if I broke it down and stacked the components,
and designed the box around that format,
I exported a SketchUp animation of the jig and the box for anyone interested. I also slapped together some words and movements about the physical box.
The gallery photos show the final result…
Sorry for the naked pictures… however, the following have some tung oil dressing on them,
These holes were added to permit hanging/screwing the box to something solid,
Keep safe, jocks... and your jocks, safe!
----------------------------------------- ooooOOOO The End OOOOooooo ---------------------------------------------
Don’t be crafty Craftisians,... SHARE your craft!
If your first cut is too short... Take the second cut from the longer end... LBD
