Nice Job Ed. I'd like to see some pics of your mortising setup.

I got it from one of the others on the board hear. I'll take a pic when I can and upload. It is an extremely simple jig. Key is to have a drill press so you can bore the holes into the two blocks of the jigs at exactly the same location. Otherwise your mortise depth will change from one end of the cut to the other.
