I thought I would try to start something. Showing off my favorite jigs. I made this from scratch the clamp is the same as in sold at several outlets but was easy to coble together. My idea was to make the hold down. As you can see it is a long piece of ¾ ply with a piece of wood the same thickness as the clamp and a couple of pieces of paper shim stock (manila folder) and a smaller piece of ¾ ply. I just shove the clamp into the U formed by the ¾ ply and it keeps the clamp from lifting when I with draw the bit. BTW It is about time to add a new piece on the bottom it is full of holes.

I dribble CA into the holes with all of the chips I just drilled out of the blanks. Let it dry then trim it flush with a sharp chisel. Good as new.
