First frame was 5 yrs ago. Its all still pretty good. Just had some opening on the heel of the unhoused kneebraces where it shrank across the grain. I house them now too. I am using dry df and drawboring. Point taken though with the possible problems of shrinking timbers. Anyway, the festool router jig works great. I use the slider that you can get with it freehand. I put some uhd plastic tape on the stainless steel slider to keep it from damaging the aluminum jig. Just have to put a template guide on the router. I recently switched to a 3/4" insert bit with replaceable knives. It's easier to keep a bunch of sharp disposable knives.
