I think I found Leon's nephew. This young whippersnapper shows us how to make a self indexing shelf pin jig using a variety of Festool tools. From his apron to his clamps to his hand tools to his work bench and power tools, it's almost all Festool. I think the only thing that isn't Festool is the Dewalt router he uses with the jig. Leon will have to explain that one to us. Heck, he even offers a SketchUp drawing of the jig. Leon, do you know this kid?

No, I don't know him but I have seen him. It looks like his shop Is a spare bed room at his mom and dad's house. I think he belongs to the camp of Festool owners that only build things like jigs and work surfaces. Most never actually build any thing, but are prepared to do so. Many Festool owners, note I said owner and not users, seldom sell any of their work to justify the cost so they build Festool like tools. Festool makes an indexed track that is good for their track saw and their router. The routers have a special indexing accessory that virtually does the same thing that he has done in the video. He has another video showing how to build a replacement work surface with multiple dog holes similar to his Festool FMT work table. I would simply use a top bearing flush cut bit with my plunge router and my old work surface as a template. I only know "of" him.
