Abstract

A joint jig and template assembly has a base, first and second clamp assemblies attached to the base, each of the first and second clamp assemblies having a clamp member which is capable of moving relative to the base to engage a board placed adjacent the base, a support structure engagable with the base and a template supportable by the support structure. The template has at least one undulating surface to guide a router bit during operation of a router upon the board, and a plurality of bores arranged to guide a bit during operation of a drill upon the board. Movement of the router and drill are limited by the template during operation on the board to cut a particular design in one of the end surfaces of the board to enable the board to mate with another board to form an angled joint.
