A storage box with finger joints

June 27, 2011 By

The box for the FMT Pro and Super FMT guides is ready for a nice varnish finish that will pop the grain on the curly maple:

Box for FMT guides, built with finger joints.

I may need to do a little more work on the grid holding the guides in place. More on this in another post.

Equipment used: Leigh D4R Pro dovetail jig with the F3 finger joint template.

Acknowledgement: I got my inspiration for this box from the last two photos at the Leigh Industries’ square finger joint Photo Gallery. With thanks to Leigh Industries, and also to ”Lucky” Brittain.

March madness when you buy a mortise and tenon jig

March 1, 2011 By

Pure madness, I tell ya. What are they doing at Leigh Industries? Simple — it’s March Madness time! They are going all out to make sure you get the Super FMT, and in the process they throw in a bunch of stuff for free. FREE!

March madness!

OK — here’s the deal (from the Leigh web site):

Mortise & Tenon Jig Special! During the month of March, buy a Leigh Super FMT Jig and receive a 22-piece Accessory Kit absolutely FREE! Not only will you discover how easy it is to rout mortise & tenon joints, but with the Accessory Kit you can make tons of extra joints, all in a cleaner workshop! This offer valid in USA and Canada only…Hurry! Offer ends March 31, 2011.

How about a little eye candy? Also from their web site:

The free accessory kit is a must-have.

Don’t forget to fill out the form at the web page, and mail it to Leigh. Make sure to attach the UPC from the Super FMT carton, and a copy of your receipt.

One additional recommendation I make: Buy an extra set of the F-clamps for the Super FMT (there are 2 clamps in the set). They simplify clamping of larger work pieces. You will be glad you got them. For only an additional $20, they are worth getting at the same time as your Super FMT. Part # 9500PR.

Disclosure: Leigh is a sponsor of my blog. I sometimes receive tools from my sponsors, for evaluation purposes. I do not receive payment in any way, shape, or form from Leigh, or from any other sponsor. I receive a small commission from your purchases only through my Affiliates (Amazon.com, Woodcraft, Rockler, and StudioPress); these help defray my costs a little. I thank you for your support of my effort!

Price increases at Leigh Industries

August 11, 2010 By

I received the following e-mail message from Leigh late yesterday. You may want to visit their web site, and look around. Note: I am not paid on a per-click basis by Leigh, or any other sponsor.

Disclosure: Leigh is one of my sponsors; I am never paid for promoting the use of their products. I sometimes receive tools, for evaluation purposes. I never receive or accept cash, or any other form of payment, from Leigh or any other of my sponsors, for the reviews I do.

I want to share the announcement, because it might save you a little cash — the price increase is effective September 1, 2010:

Super Jig 12″ Dovetail Jig: The 12 ” Super Jig list price will increase to $275 from $259

Super Jig 18″ Dovetail Jig: The 18″ Super Jig list price will increase to $375 from $359

Super FMT Mortise & Tenon Jig: The Super FMT Jig list price will increase to $499 from $449

FMT Pro Mortise & Tenon Jig: The FMT Pro Mortise & Tenon Jig list price will increase to $989 from $929

In the announcement, Leigh stated:

Fortunately, we have been able to hold our prices steady on 95% of our product line for the Fall 2010 season. However, the US and Canadian list price of the following four products will increase effective September 1, 2010.

If you have been on the fence about buying one of the jigs, now might be the time to do it. I have been a very happy user of several of the Leigh jigs for many years; they are an essential part of work in my shop.

Request: If you buy one of the jigs, take the time to learn its use. Have plenty scrap on hand, and learn the ins and outs — you will be glad to did. However, this might result in dreams about jig setup and use (not bad for critical projects).
