    PIC 42 - Step 11c

    I had to add a span so there was space between the Foredom Handpiece and the clamp SEE Followup Comments on Step 5. Pre-drill the holes on the clamp and the wood.
  2. PIC 41 - Step 10b&c

    PIC 41 - Step 10b&c

    Pre-drill holes in the wood with a 1/16in bit to prevent splitting. The clamp helps to hold the Gauge parallel for pre-drilling the wood. Use #6 x 1/2in screws to attach the gauge to the jig.

    The backs of the Gauge are not even so a spacer was added behind the end piece so it would be flush with the front of the jig.

    PIC 39 - Step 9

    Run Test - IT WORKS!! I never doubted it would (haha) - NEXT STEP add a depth gauge and hose adaptor to dust collector
  6. PIC 38 - Step 9

    PIC 38 - Step 9

    Run Test - I tried various depth cuts (back-left corner) before routing out an area at one depth
  7. PIC 37 - Step 9

    PIC 37 - Step 9

    Run Test - I have no idea how deep the bit is but the wet-vac is working great
  8. PIC 36 - Step 9

    PIC 36 - Step 9

    Run Test - It's ALIVE!! Dr. Frankenstein

    Front View - Homemade Foredom Relief Carving Jig. Depth Gauge and Dust Collector Hose still to be added.
  11. PIC 33 - Step 8

    PIC 33 - Step 8

    Jig Assembly - penny on bottom of Z-axis Support acts as a stop for the Depth Adjustment Rod
  12. PIC 32 - Step 8

    PIC 32 - Step 8

    Jig Assembly - one 'Guide' bolt cut to size and channels cut in back of Z-axis Support so height above table can be adjusted.
  13. PIC 31 - Step 8

    PIC 31 - Step 8

    Assemble the Jig
  14. PIC 30 - Step 7b

    PIC 30 - Step 7b

    Figuring out how much height adjustment I can get (using scrap wood spacers) before cutting channels in the ‘spine’
  15. PIC 29 - Step 7b

    PIC 29 - Step 7b

    If Z-axis Support were raised 1/2in then a max 1.5in block could be hogged-out to depth to 1/2in from bottom
  16. PIC 28 - Step 7a

    PIC 28 - Step 7a

    Dry Fit to Frame to determine height above the table – Bit touches table NOT GOOD
  17. PIC 27 - Step 6d

    PIC 27 - Step 6d

    Mark where the holes will be drilled. Repeat leveling, centering and marking for other end
  18. PIC 26 - Step 6c

    PIC 26 - Step 6c

    Make sure the Carriage is centered and square to the Z-axis Support. COFFEE HELPS ME THINK
  19. PIC 25 - Step 6b

    PIC 25 - Step 6b

    Add spacers to simulate the travel clearance you will have between the bolt heads in the Carriage and the ‘spine’ of the Z-axis Support
  20. PIC 24 - Step 6a

    PIC 24 - Step 6a

    Level the Carriage FRONT SIDE DOWN
