I laugh every time you say amphibious instead of ambidextrous. I like your vids as well.
I bought a Miter 5000 a few years ago, thinking it would up my game. It didn't, and so I exclusively use my hand made cross cut jig for the greatest accuracy. Just sayin'...
Hmm. Aren’t you a little scared of having a bolt or screw through that first jig with a saw stop?
My wife is into Dimon art, which means I get to make all the pictures frames. I am really bad at my 45° frames, I m always off. I am going to make a few of your jigs to see if I can improve my 45° frames. Thank for sharing your jigs.
Last Father's Day my daughter bought me a shirt that said Dad joke champion. I'm now convinced that this shirt belongs to Tom. 😂
Suggested new title: "Best Jigs for Table Saw"
Hi Tom, great Jigs! I agree that if you don't have a true 45 degree angle the combined angle will be 90 degrees. However, the lengths of the mating faces will not be the same. as an example, let's take a picture frame that is 10cm wide, the two angles are 44.5 and 45.5 the lengths of each of the faces will be 14.267cm and 14.02cm respectively. that's a difference of 0.247cm - enough to make the frame look odd. On smaller pieces it won't look so bad 🙂
Making a box to fit over my fence showed me what a terrible fence came with my (cheap!) table saw!
the mitre for a box, any suggestions on jigs for 45 degree cuts
Great video. You told the truth about simple and useful jigs. If you trust your safety skills more than you trust your sliding miter saw, i suggest investing in a Radial Arm Saw. They’re as safe as you are & once set up, are the most accurate tool for cross cuts.
Great Job, thanks for sharing!
I think you do a fine job explaining the process. You make things very clear. I remember you being a guest sometimes with Tommy Mac. Thanks for your videos.
There are a lot of videos out there explaining jigs. This is the first video I've seen of yours though. I must say, AWESOME JOB!. Your explanations and demonstrations are so useful, and I do love how your enthusiasm and personality shine through! I'll be watching many more of your videos, sir.
Thanks for explaining how to use a spacer block effectively. Now really I'm looking forward to getting home and getting started on some projects!
Thank you for sharing your experience
Just revisiting this excellent video. These along with the course mtls are priceless for any level of woodworkers. I tend to watch something more than once to learn something new or that I missed.
Great video, really like all your jigs, i feel like I'm watching a pro woodworker , your the type of guy i would want to spend a Saturday in the shop with. Thanks 😊
Always great video and information
Tommy, I have watched you for years and am still watching. You are one of the best. I wish you and yours the very best of a New Year. I'll be looking for your next great experience.
Great jigs, and very well explained. I will be making one or two of these for myself; esp. the "spacer/s" for the Tenon Jig. Will improve my joinery quite a bit! Thanks. 🤠
