Very nice work. Looks like a lot of time and patience.

mighty fine Mr Rocker, mighty fine! I am very impressed with your mitres...
I must admit I have personally given up on mitres until I get myself a table saw, just not pleased with the results Im getting with the Triton.You can never have enough planes, that is why Mr Stanley invented the 1/2s

Rocker, a great design, beautifully executed. Liked seeing the construction detail, that Veritas 4 way clamp seems to come into its own on jobs like that one! Especially liked the table saw set-up with the sacrificial fence and sawing the mitre on the top face, great "out of the box thinking.

A very nice table Rocker and a very informative post .
Can your jig be used horizontally to enable mortises to be cut in long aprons and so avoid having to set up step ladders . Or may'be a saw pit might be the go .
PeterI've just become an optimist . Iv'e made a 25 year plan -oopps I've had a few birthdays - better make that a 20 year plan

Peter,
No, my jig can't be used horizontally; however, I have used it successfully to cut mortices in the end-grain of long rails by clamping the rail vertically in a vice, clamping the jig to the top of the rail, and then standing on my workbench to rout the mortice. By this method, it is quite easy to rout mortices in the end-grain of rails up to about 2.2 m long. Mortices in longer rails could be routed by the same method, but standing on a tall step ladder instead of the workbench.

Or you could take the whole thing outside and stand on your roof.
