Circle Jig: Part 2

The next step was to cut the 1/4" slot for the smaller panel. This was a bit tricky to set up with my router due to the small surface area of the panel but I managed to figure it out.

After that was done I glued it to the larger panel. The brown board in the middle is a spacer to make sure the groove stays at 1/4" wide during the glue-up.

Next, once the glue dried I used my router and a round-over bit to smooth over the edges of the jig (purely for decorative purposes).

The final steps will be fabricating the center block with the knob and pin which will slid in the groove. Then I'll drill the holes for mounting the router.
