I'm laying out the Trivet making jig that was in Sawdust Sessions Nov. 12, 2007 and posted on YOU TUBE Feb 18 2013. My question is how would one cut the 6 inch square for the trivet blank. I was thinking of using my plunge router with a pattern and a template guide with a spiral bit then square up the corners with a chisel. Any other ideas would be appreciated.

Thanks
Mike

Hi Mike

I'm confused. I see Sawdust Session #7, Nov. 10, 2007 and Sawdust Session #8, Nov. 24, 2007, bu no session for Nov.12, 2007. Just what Sawdust Session # are you referring to? Would you have a link to the youtube video you refer to?

Thanks

IIWM, I would not square the corners, but rather relieve them(drill a hole at the intersection[before routing]).
