Benefits of technology
The invention is a jig, plug, and method for creating an infinite joint. The jig has a base with a work surface and an upright with a work surface that is connected to the base at an angle. The upright has drill guides that position a drill bit to create an infinite hole in a workpiece. To form the joint, two workpieces with incomplete holes are aligned and an infinite plug is inserted. This pulls the two workpieces tightly together for a strong and aesthetically pleasing joint.
Problems solved by technology
Namely, dovetail joints are difficult to form and are unforgiving if cuts are made inaccurately.
In addition, dovetail joints require complicated and expensive tooling and machinery to create and a substantial amount of practice and skill to perfect.
While pocket hole joints provide certain advantages, they have too have their deficiencies.
Namely, pocket hole joints while being very good for joining two pieces of wood at 90 degrees, pocket hole joints are not as well suited when the two pieces of wood are joined at angles other than perpendicular.
In addition, some applications do not allow for an elongated fastener to be used and as such a pocket hole joint is inapplicable.
In addition, in some applications, the appearance of a pocket hole joint is visually unacceptable and therefore in these applications a pocket hole joint cannot be used.

An infinity jig, infinity plug and a method of forming an infinity joint is presented. The infinity jig has a base with a work surface and an upright with a work surface connected to the base at an approximate perpendicular alignment. The upright includes a plurality of drill guides that are positioned such that a portion of a drill bit inserted into the drill guide extends below the work surface of the base. An infinity hole is formed by using a drill bit having a stop collar to drill partially into a workpiece with a portion of the drill bit exiting a connecting surface of the work piece. To form an infinity joint, two workpieces having infinity holes therein are aligned with one another and an infinity plug is inserted in the aligned infinity holes. The infinity plug pulls the two workpieces together providing a tight and aesthetically pleasing joint.
Description
CROSS REFERENCE TO A RELATED APPLICATION[0001]This application is a continuation of U.S. Utility application Ser. No. 14 / 685,862 which was filed on Apr. 14, 2015, which also claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 61 / 980,409 filed Apr. 16, 2014, the entirety of which is incorporated herein fully by reference.FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0002]This invention relates generally to drilling jigs. More specifically, and without limitation, this invention relates to drilling systems and methods of joining two pieces of material together, such as two pieces of wood.BACKGROUND OF INVENTION[0003]Wood working and joining two pieces of wood together is old and well known in the art. Various methods of joining two pieces of wood together have been developed, as has various devices to speed the assembly process and improve the accuracy and precision of joinery.[0004]One such method of joining two pieces of wood is known as a dovetail joint. While dove tail joints are popular, provide a s...
