For this mortiser I used a lot of design aspects from Woodgears. The
main difference being the X,Y tables. Instead of drawer guides, I used
polished steel shafts and sintered bronze bushings. It slides around
great.
This was the most complicated jig I have ever made. It took me a
little over two weeks to build.
If you=92d like to build your own, you can find plans at Woodgears for
sale. If you choose to use the polished steel shafts and bushings as I
did, there is a CAD drawing on my website.

Looks nice Brian. I loved the wood handle for your mortiser.
It looked like a wheelbarrow replacement handle I had to carve as a kid on
the farm. No fancy tools. My dad handed me a chunk of wood and a knife and
told me to carve it. I complained that knife was dull, He told me to sharpen
it. So I carved me a replacement wheelbarrow handle. Your cute little handle
brings back memories.
Do you make your own tenons?

Funny! I was thinking your could attach a motor to the Z-axis and add
a screw drive to the Y-axis (depth of cut). You could add motors to
each axis and write a program I suppose.?. :^)

Thank you!
It really wasn't that difficult to build But because it had a lot of
parts, it took some time.

Yes, I make them custom for each project. I wonder if it would be
worth buying the ones that are sold for the Domino?

WOO-HOO !!!!
What a blast -- both watching it, and seeing how smooth and functional
it is.
Why do I have the feeling that -- for about thirty five bucks worth of
parts, at Radio Shack -- you could remote-operate that, from your
living room ?
Verrry cool !
