where can I get a plan for a home made jig for installing knobs on my cabinets?

- First of all, if you buy it, it's not home made. So you can make one, or you can buy one. To buy one, check the wookworking tools/equipment catalogs or websites, such as Woodworkerssupply.com, woodcraft.com, rockler.com, etc. To make one, cut a small square piece of 1/4" mdf or masonite. The square needs to be sized large enough to run about 1" over the proposed hole you will make in the cabinet door/drawer for the pull. Apply some 1/2" x 3/4" solid wood (pine, poplar, whatever) to 2 edges of this piece. Locate on the surface of the 1/4" stock where you want the hole for the pull and drill it in the jig (off the door). Place the jig on a corner of the door and voila, you have a hole locator for your cabinet pulls which will layout a hole on your doors in the same location for each one. To do a drawer front is similar, but you won't be able to work from a corner. You get the idea.
