i've heard of people making their own........but i didnt quite understand how to do it because i have never seen a jasper jig and don't know what it looks like or how it works. but since you have one you can pry model one after it with some wood.

Draw a damn circle...

Can't keep your hand steady? Trace a line?

you can put a screw in the center, take a sting to the handle of your router, then tighten it (the string) until its the right lenght.

Yeah you definately gotta cut the hole big enough to be able to get your fingers in there to pull that beast back out after you drop it in lol. Just use a jigsaw and take your time, or make a longer jig outta some thin wood. I've done that before when I had to cut a bunch of rings, I just took a thin piece of wood that I cut out and drilled a hole for the router bit to punch through, then I screwed it to the base of my router. It was kinda ghetto but it worked fine. If I were you though I would honestly just jigsaw it. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

I can follow a line, aka... trace a circle that is drawn. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

a deice for a router that is made to cut perfect cicles. one end attaches to your router, you run a screw into the center of the circle you want in the other end of the jig
