6. As described in the "PROJECT LAYOUT" section, be
sure the tenon board (shelf) (B) Fig. H10 is oriented with
the "rear edge" of the shelf to the left before mounting.
7. Place the tenon board (shelf) vertically against the front
of the jig base and mark the left side of the end grain as
shown in Fig H10 with an "X". Line up the left edge of
the board (B) with the left edge of the textured surface
of the jig base (I).
8. If you intend making multiple cuts (ie, multiple shelves),
it is recommended that you slide the left edge guide (M)
Fig H10 over until it is flush with the left side of the
tenon board and tighten it down to the front of the jig.
The edge guide can then be used as a reference for the
proceeding tenon board cuts.
9. Reposition the tenon board a little lower on the jig while
you position horizontal scrap pieces left and right. While
they should provide coverage to support the template,
they should not be positioned so far forward as to
interfere with the cutting of the tenon board. Be sure the
underside of the template is tight against both pieces
of wood, and pushed back to the left and right stops
before tightening it down.
10. Reposition the tenon board so that it is flush with the
jig base (N), template (G) and left edge guide (M), as
shown in Fig. H11.
11. Add stabilizer bar (C) Fig. H6.
Before making any cuts, be sure you read your
router owner's manual for safe operating instructions.
12. Place router into the template's center slot (O) Fig. H12
to the left of the tenon board (P). First make a shallow
climb cut from left to right and then complete the cut
along the front edge of the slot (P) from right to left.
13. Loosen and pull the stabilizer bar and template toward
you along the template mounting rods (Q) Fig. H6, just
enough to allow you to reposition the spacer on the
template stops at the back of the jig.
14. Remove both knurled spacers (one shown at (R) Fig.
H12 and H13) from both stops and replace them on
back of each post for storage (as shown at (R) Fig.
H14).
15. Push template and then stabilizer bar back against the
stops and tighten them all.
Before making any cuts, be sure you read your
router owner's manual for safe operating instructions.
16. Place router on edge of template (S) Fig. H14 and make
cut on front edge of tenon board (T) from right to left
and then clean the cut from left to right.
NOTE: Make sure the router base is maintained flat on the
template as the cut is made.
