Waiting for glue to dry this afternoon on the speaker pods I thought I would make myself a router jig for cutting circular holes. I need one to create accurate holes for the subwoofers to sit in. They will seal better and it looks more professional too!

Yes, I could buy one and it would undoubtedly be more accurate. So, why make it? Well, the one I linked to is £30 plus P&P.

Cost of mine so far? Nothing. Using some waterproof 12mm MDF I had in the garage I cut a nice shape (see pic) that should be big enough to carry the router.

I painted it white with some dodgy spray can I had on the shelf. No other reason than it will make the sizes (written next to holes!) easier to see when trying to set up to cut a hole.

Cost? Still zero pounds and zero pence.

I even bought some new router bits (quarter inch) so I can make nice clean cuts.

Running total? About £4.

Only problem? I discovered this afternoon that I don’t actually own a router! What an idiot!

Running cost? About £4 if I can borrow my Dad’s router, otherwise about £40.

I’ll write another post on the fab of the jig when it’s done!
