What's the simplest way to make mortises with a router? I've got 24 holes
that need to be cut on 2" legs for my current project. I've found several
commercial jigs for sale but they're pretty pricey. For a few buck more I
could buy a dedicated mortising machine. It's is on my list, but not at the
top.

Any pointers to homemade jigs/plans that you've used and work well?

Thanks,

For just a few? Plunger with an edge guide, some way
to clamp the board vertically to the edge of your work
bench. The router might snipe on your first few tries,
but if you're not cutting through mortises, you'll never
see them.
