How to Use Sawhorses (Matchfit Sawstallions) as a Jig to Cut Mortises with a Plunge Router and an Edge Guide.  Trestle-style Sawhorses with Matchfit Dovetail grooves in all of the faces (called Sawstallions) are ideal as a jig for cutting mortises.  Router is supported and clamping options are fantastic.
