It would have been nice to show the sizes of the MDF panels and the measurements and locations of the slots and rectangular cutouts. Otherwise, its going to take a lot of trial and error and wasted material to figure those out. In my opinion, the plan absolutely needs that information to be of any use.
Looking at the drawing, I totally agree with Hal. Dimensions would be really helpful and cut down on a lot of time.
Sorry: Found the PDF file with dimensions
Found the PDF where? I clicked on the "download free plan" link and got a 2-page PDF with text and drawings, but no dimensions. I tried it with IE and with Firefox, same result.
My guess is there is a reason the free "plan" barely qualifies as actual plan. Notice the other "Versatile Mortising Jig" plan offered on page...but requires paid membership to view/access! :(
Worth every penny? Come on gang, you can do much better than this and I've seen them too. Remember your "Free" stuff is a window into the quality of what you want members to pay for, make it at least tasty.
I can only guess the people who commented positivly on this free "plan" must have the members only plan. I love your magazine but this is the poorest excuse for a plan I have ever wasted download seconds to obtain. The PDF file is basiclly a copy of the picture already on the web page. No dimensions of any kind. If this is the quality of your online content I will stick to the magazine. It is still one of the best.

I built the versatile mortising jig.. Only problem is the setup..
Has to be done by eye. Also , if you change routers, it may or not
Work. From my standpoint mortises are a lot of work. If one side
Is hidden from sight you can use pocket holes which is a lot
Easier and set up is simple and Results are great.

I agree with the others on this one. No dimensions?
Ok, it's not like building a fully equipped battle ship, but from the drawings you really can't tell if it's small enough to fit in a bread box or if it is so big you need a real battle ship.
