Very nice solution Wrangler. I recently made a wooden frame to guide a router and flattened the top of my 6x3 foot workbench top. It gave an okay finish for a workbench but wouldn't do for a showpiece. I have been mulling over making something out of angle iron or slotted wooden beams. your jig is very cleverly put together and must leave a very level surface.

I live in Brazil and all this talk of "readily available" or "ebay" are the stuff of dreams. Bent nails and rubber bands are things more readily available and certainly add to the challenge of making jigs. Keeps me out of the pub!

Mac, I dream of having a 16" jointer... Good tip though thanks Tom.
