   I made a tool that does the same thing but it's not as nice as the one you found at amazon. I think i found the idea in finehomebuilding mag.
   Pretty simple tool. although i keep meaning to tweek it a bit to be a better tool..... on the to do list next time i do stairs.

   If you do stairs frequently then a nice little gadget like that does help . If your only doing one set, then it might be better to make your own. For the price though it seems like a good deal.

   Best

   Thanks, Ray.

   Any idea of which Finehomebuilding mag you found the jig plans?  How long ago?  Approx?  I'd like to look at it.

   I dont remember who's these belong to, I think Mike Smith and maybe Snort, not real sure. I was going to steal them so I didnt really care whos they were!  <G>

   You can probably build one of these for $5, save the money for something you cant make.

   Sorry about the one big pic.

   Thank you, thank you, thank you.  That is SWEET.  I CAN make that, and I agree with you.  Now I can go out and buy another nice tool!!  You are the man.

   What the original post was talking about was a jig to "template" the tread fit between the skirtboards.

   Your housed router template link was nice however.  Semi steep cost for something you could make up a jig for (as was shown in a previous FHB artical I believe by Andy Engel.
