I am caught on a dilema.

I found the jig plan but it was only shared to me online by the author. I contacted him via email to get permission to share it but he is not responding. His website is also gone. Last I heard, he is going through treatment...I hope he is okay.

It is neat since you just have to print the plan and it is in (100%) actual dimensions so you can use it as a pattern. Until I hear from him, I think it is wrong for me to share it.

I know another member who have something similar. I'll ask him if he would share his plan.

There have been many who have modified this and made a much better jig...

I bought a Wolverine a loooong time ago and haven't looked back []
