After Ken posted the video about Guido (Henn) router table I watched some of the other videos.
In this video he uses a jig with his router and some domino's to joint a frame and some legs for a cabinet.

I can't understand or speak German either.
This video is shot and edited so well you really don't need to understand what he's saying watching him work explains it all.

This is awesome. I'm going to have to make one of these for myself.

Looks pretty simple to make. I watched the video a few times and it appears to just be two square or rectangular pieces of wood joined together. One has a slot to fit a router bushing (with handy screw for the fit size). It looks like a 3rd piece of wood is separate and held in place only by clamps.  I can't see underneath in the video, but he probably has a line on the bottom vertical piece that matches the end markings on the top, so he can use the same reference line to position that floating block of wood in order to set the distance to the edge of the workpiece. Then the workpiece gets pushed flush to that floating stop piece and clamped... viola!

I'm sure you guys already knew how it worked... just decided to spell it out for myself to see if I had it right Cheesy or maybe someone else will be curious but can't quite figure it out...

I made this quick mockup to show how I intepreted it. Someone please step in and correct me if you see a potential problem.

The top image shows the two fixed pieces for the jig. The top piece has a groove routed in it to fit your bushing of choice. Set the length to be the longest slot you want to make. One edge of the groove gets a screw in it which acts as a sort of stop (thats the pink thing in my render). Not sure if its just a screw into the wood, or if a threaded metal insert was used (that's what I will do).




Then the bottom image shows what it would be like on a workbench with a piece of thin stock in it (the blue piece). Notice how the additional 3rd part of the jig gets positioned and clamped (clamps not shown obviously) in order to set how far from the edge of the workpiece the hole will go.

That's about all the video shows. It also shows how he makes several passes with the router at increasing depths instead of just one deep pass, but that's just common router sense. Also he had lines marked on the top piece, perpendicular to the groove to help with alignment. One line seemed to line up with the "minimum" position of the adjustable screw (as in, with the screw unscrewed to make the smallest slot). I am guessing he continued some of those marks on the vertical piece under the slot as well to aid in positioning the stop.

Hope it helps.
