clamping is a lot safer. i just got the freehand spin down on this last set of baffles i made

bosche jigs are awesome as well

 

Bosch makes the best jigsaws. At the shop that I worked at, we used nothing but Bosch jigsaws

 

I use a Bosch Jigsaw as well. It has taken me 15 years to make near-perfect jigs in just about anything. I still use a router for my subwoofer rings though because hey, why not? I also use a Bosch router for plunging and a smaller Porter Cable for more intricate work.

It takes time to be a good woodworker. I still learn something new every day!
