S&H Jigs Drawer Jig

[Banana]

Anyone else know about these or uses one?

I’d seen this jig once before in an older photo and immediately wanted one but the image wasn’t clear enough to make out the manufacturer. The label also looked really old fashioned too so I just assumed it was some antique and that I’d never find one anyways.
Recently I stumbled across a post of a guy using one (loves it) and I could finally read the label. S&H Jigs (www.shjigs.ecwid.com). They’ve been making it here in the U.S. since the 80’s. (?!)
It’s faster than other jigs with no set up or need to readjust fittings between different sized drawers.
Comes with both imperial and metric drill guides. If you need a custom hole pattern / spacing they can sell you a blank piece of bar stock (or get your own) and you can drill it to your own spec.
If you want the drawer pull to be higher above centered, say raising it for large lower bin drawers, you just add a shim block to the upper dog and continue.
It’s great to re-discover something old school.  They also make a no-fuss door jig as well.

They do have a website, if anyone is interested.

Ingenious for sure and very fast...but I prefer to install pulls at "visual" center instead of actual center. As I work my way down a stack of drawers in a cabinet, I subtract an ⅛" or so from the top of the fronts. I realized long ago that a drawer pull that is centered in height on the bottom drawer visually looks about ¼" to ½" too low.

Absolutely.  The jig can be adjusted though and there's actually instructions if you then wanted to zero it out again. But the design is so straight forward that it's far faster & simpler to just stick a desired shim under the top dog with some tape (any of the dogs), or even affix shim(s) on permanently.
