That jig from Rockler looks pretty neat. I guess the scrooge is coming out in me, I hate to pay that much. I think I will try the homemade one first.
(I may be wishing I went ahead and bought one.)

You should be able to make a basic home made jig pretty easily, I would definitely try the DIY method before buying one. I used a very basic homemade jig when I cut the circles for mine, and they turned out really well.
If I remember correctly, it took two passes to cut completely through the plywood.
DaOld Man:
Thanks for the info guys..
I got the parts from Digikey today.
Now Ive got to build the H Drive.
But it may be this weekend before I can start on it, we are having a major outage at the job, so Im working 12 hours a day all week.
I will take some pics and post them as I make progress on it.
DaOld Man:
Got my parts laid out on the perf board.
I am out of solder, so I got to go to Radio Shack.
Here is a pic, however I decided to lay out the parts a little differently, to save me some jumpers later. My next picture will show that.
DaOld Man:
The drive is finished! And it works!
I plan to hook it to my digital experimenters board and play around with digital signals to it.
I also intend on hooking it to a nutchip and see what I can do with it.
Here is a pic:
(I tried posting more pics, but I got a "post to large" error, so more pics will follow soon).

Nice work on the H Drive. I still can't wait to try this myself.
About your pics....try changing the image size to something like 800x600 or even 640x480. It changes the file size from 500kb's to 70kb's. That should help your post sizing issues.
