I've watched A LOT of videos recently to understand how to make the cuts in the stiles for the louvers. This is by far the best one! Much simpler looking jig than most I've seen and the most ingenious part is that the jig allows you to make the cuts mirroring each other so they always line up. So many videos and my own trial and error has 1/32" off and it throws each cut off, so by the time you get to the end, everything is noticeably not aligned. Thank you for sharing! I had one question: what is between the two stiles? It's the gray-ish piece between the two pieces of wood you're cutting. It appears pre-cut. Can you describe what it is and it's purpose? Thank you again!
Hi Anna. Thank you for your comment. the piece in between is a MDF strip with the thiknes of the router bit i was using. 12 mm to be more precise. That alow the transition of the angle without demage the outher piece. I made a lote of louvers with this process and went so well. Now i use a CNC router for that propose.
This is great. One suggestion is to use a dowel on the bottom,side to replace the drill bit. Will help hold the jig in place and avoid the need to install and remove the bit after each pass.
