@StumpyNubs I have a DeWalt735. What would YOU consider to be the best Helical head to replace the OEM head with? Thank you.
I love to see ideas like this!
After 45 years as a maker, I believe I have built more things to build things than I have built things!
Sometimes at the end of a project I kind of think I built the jigs more to impress my friends than to make the project easier.
- Of course if you haveto do the same hop manytimes over - repeatedly, jugs are the solution.
(a jig is merely the "hardware" problem that CNC programming solves for - in software)
- Just as a jig is "unnecessary" for a one-off so too is CNC for most simple geometries. (of course, most woodworkers have never touched anything CNC unless they have delved into CNC routing or 3d printing)...
I consider the things I built to build things to be things too. 😃
I disagree that a jig is unnecessary for a one-off. Sometimes having a jig is the only safe way to make a single cut.@@kadmow
The most complex and expensive jig I've ever made: a router table. I needed a lot round bars from the same wood and my only idea was to make them with a router. Now I have a router table, which has been so much more useful than the stuff I've actually built 😂 At least that's my view. My baby loves its climbing wall and runs away as soon as the router spins up 🎉
I always appreciate simple, and dry humor too. 😁
This may have been a bit tongue-in-cheek, but it really shows just how much time we spend making complex jigs when there is no need to.. KISS!!!!!
Thanks, James. 😊😊
I've been saving money in an envelope for just this thing. At only $500 this is a steal. I may probably add $100 so I don't feel guilty about taking advantage of you.
😂😂😂
A steal indeed😅
Can I save a little money, and have you send me just the plans to build one if I source my own plywood? How about $300?
I’m sure Woodpeckers will be releasing one soon for around $1,000
Got some big Car Talk energy here.
It will blow your mind even more when you learn how versatile hand saws are. Straight cuts, angled cuts, they do it all!
Hand saws are especially handy for those occasions that you want a 'straight-ish but not perfectly straight' cut.
Saws?! Why back in my day, we used axes for everything. They're even more versatile - felling, splitting, hewing. Saw teeth are weak, axes are strong!
@@interiot2 -said the dwarf.
Straight cuts??? Where can I find one of these mythical straight cutting hand saws? Every hand saw I've ever used cuts a line about as straight as a Rorschach test is clear...
:)
After I make the cut (usually angled) with a hand saw, all I have to do to make it straight is hold the wood juuuuust right so it looks straight.
I came up with this myself just last week. Bought a $3 mdf shelf at Menards because it’s cheap and i have no self control. I used that factory straight edge to square up some plywood that I had to freehand cut with my circular saw earlier. I was particularly proud of that one.
😂😂😂 'i bought a 3£ piece of MDF because i have no self control 😂😂😂❤
$500? Its the same price as Woodpeckers!
Excellent as always, James. But would you please follow up with how to make a jig to help me make one of these jigs myself? Also, a metric version would be helpful. Thank you.
Who knew April Fool’s Day came a month early in a leap year? Well done James reminding folks that sometimes “simple” is better.
This is awesome because I never made any jigs, so I don’t have any to throw away. Procrastinating pays off!
Same. Our strategy wins.
I used this yesterday and got to say, it is worth every penny. Thanks. Wish I would have thought of it, and I could be making bank.
Damn you and your simplified methods. Now I can’t justify building complicated jigs. 😂
I can listen to you teach me tip,tricks and techniques all day!What I like most is you speak clearly to where even someone that doesn’t understand English would still understand you 😂
Just yesterday I found yet another use for your jig. A neighbor's kid came to me with a 4 inch tree section complete with attached branches and bark. He wanted to keep the branches and bark, but he wanted the tree rings cut out leaving only the outer ring. The tree section had been cut in half and was mostly dried. I got a piece of scrap peg board and screwed the tree section to it with 4 screws, two on the narrower end and one on each side of broader end. I then began to rip cuts a blade width apart at varying blade heights until most of the heart of the tree section at the smaller end was removed. I then unscrewed it and angled the larger section repeating the cuts until most of the larger end was removed. With the aid of a sharp chisel and a hammer the remaining thin strips were removed. A little sanding with 80 grit sand paper wrapped around a section of closet rod and the job was almost finished. The remainder of the peg board was then cut to shape on my scroll saw to make a back for the project. The hollowed out interior held a collection of 9 volt batteries and wiring that would power LED lights on the tree branches.
2:28... Now I really want to see your thousand-legged table project finished.
Mr. Hamilton. King supreme of woodworking jigs. "Throw away all your jigs", by, of courae, making a tapering jig. LOL
Miracle jig.. Love it. We sometimes forget that there are simple ways to get things done. Thank you.
I can’t believe it hasn’t been 24 hours yet since this was posted and already I am seeing cheap knockoffs of this amazing jig being sold at the local big box store!
I didn't see this until April 1st. I entirely thought it was an April fools joke, providing useful information regardless.
I have not laughed so hard all week. excellent!
ooh ooh I have a PILE of those jigs in my workshop!
Wow! At $500 a piece, you are going to be rich! 😂
Beautiful.
Q: how many cabinetmakers does it take to change a light bulb?
A: only one, but he has to make a jig for it.
more seriously, sometimes a jig is a craftsmanship project in and of itself; and there's nothing at all wrong with that.
Can tell you from personal experience, making your own tools is one the most gratifying jobs in my shop.
Reminds me of the Ren & Stimpy: LOG!
It’s BOARD!
The check is in the mail 😉
The jig is up!
Never clickbait
Ideas that actually work
Thank you
So simple it’s genius
Now THAT was a thing of beauty!
Genius. My checks in the mail.
I liked how you shared when you got your first “head “. Never forget ☺️
Maybe won't replace EVERY jig, but that is really a great idea. As is usually the case, its beauty is in its simplicity.
Too funny! Point taken. It reminds me of observations of engineers designing complicated and expensive equipment to do relatively simple tasks. When they are asked why they came up with such a complicated design, they say “I paid a lot of money and went to school for years to become an engineer and it wasn’t so that I could build something simple!”😂 Thanks for reminding us that overdesign is not the end goal.
They could sandwich the computer, sensors, digital indicators and servos in the middle of the plywood between the layers, with the battery (Can't have clueless woodworkers doing complex and dangerous things, like changing a battery- someone might get hurt!)
Would it have a magnetic charging thingy or some plug-in doohickey like a USB-C? And Bluetooth, what about Bluetooth? Can you imagine the data you could collect if the sensors were downloading in real time? Next level! @@bobbylibertini
@@rogermccaslin5963 There's have to be an "app" of course, so you could see what your jig is doing (Like: Relaxin on the shelf) while you're at work. And a voice synthesizer so it could give you audible safety warnings, like: "Your farts reek of chili".
Thank you for the $500 jig James! It works spectacular!!!!! 😊😊😊❤❤❤
wow..... so simple 😧
as soon as you said taper jig I started feeling super stupid. This would have saved my but so many times before, I can't believe i didn't think of it!😱It's so straight forward
Brilliant!!! Thanks!
I'm hoping the followup video will let me know how to make dovetail joints with this amazing jig!
I have several of those sleds in my shop
SASE. Now that’s a trivia question! 🤣 I’ll take two, both the long and short versions, I’d probably hurt myself scavenging my scrap pile.
I hope you have applied for a Patent for your multi-purpose jig. Your channel is great, fabulous make sense content you provide. Keep it up!
THANKS FOR THE VIDEO
I was shown a similarly simple jig for tapering, but instead of gluing blocks you trace the leg as it should be held. Then use the bandsaw to cut out the area to hold the leg at the desired angle, and use scraps as wedges to secure the leg.
I have just the piece of plywood waiting for me in my shop!
When you put that micro adjuster on the chain saw, I think that's when we all knew you had a jig addiction.
This man is a genius. My £500 cheque (you do take sterling?) is in the post!
If you get something straight and square, it is amazing what you can do with it! :)
I’ve been truing up the edges of heavy plywood cutouts for years. The plywood was cut out freehand so the edges were far from true. I have a three inch wide length of plywood that I screw to the top of the cutout with a little bit of overhang and run that side against the saw fence to true up the opposite side. It then has one true side to reference for every other operation.
Great Idea !!! $500 + tip very reasonable
Hehehe!
Money is on the way. Large bills at that.
Thanks for the tutorial Jim.
I have always wanted to make a cash withdrawal at a bank and ask for large marked bills.
Too bad they stopped printing $500 bills; it would be worth the price of admission to see the look on Mr. Nubs’ face when he received it. Ancillary effects would be designing and building the micro video recorder to be enclosed…
Brilliant, brilliant, brilliant!
Impressive! I was able to build one of these jigs in less than two hours!
Smiled the whole time.
As always great video and love the humor..😊😊❤❤
Mr. Nubs you are a funny fellow. If you ever get tired of woodworking you might consider standup. Oh and thanks for the tip. My joiner is collecting dust and taking up space anyway.
Check is in the mail! Can you send the Jig ASAP? LOL 🤣🤣🤣
Walking is simple and the best. 😇😇😇
James, thank you. I have something I was trying to
figure a good and easy way to taper. This is so simple,
for all the things you mentioned. I love simple. ❤ 😁✌🖖
By far the most useful shop tip i have watched
Amazon has hold down toggle clamps at 4 for $13. I made blocks out of several layers of plywood, and put such a clamp on the blocks. Then I put those clamps where they are needed on my magical piece of plywood with hot glue. This lets me run lots of pieces without having to glue or tape the workpieces down.
About time someone posted this content.
Lol love the video. Just getting started in woodworking, and I don't have dedicated space for workshop so I have to drag everything in and out of the house to work on projects. Because of this, I haven't made a table saw jig yet except for a 24x18 in piece of 1\2 ply wood that I attach plastic runners whichever direction or distance I need for the various cuts, and use double sided carpet tape I had lying around to attach my wood to the "sled" the carpet tape also works great for the runners.
If only I got get my dewalt 7491rs stand a little storter I would be good to go! My table saw height for some reason is 39 inches from the ground and I am 5'1 so maneuvering large pieces is even more difficult, I end up wearing 4in heels when I need to cut larger stock so I am at a more comfortable and safe height. If I didn't have a narrow doorway and high stoop in and out of the front door I would build a mobile cabinet for it but I wouldn't have enough clearance for that. Can wait to find a house with a dedicated workspace.
Very nice, great to go back to basics...... - also - any size plywood sheet can be used - to act as a large flat infeed and outfeed table for straightening full length construction lumber... (a "in table" hold-down - to stop the "training board" from tilting - very handy (coupled with "in-board" hold downs for the workpiece)...
Brilliant and obvious- what were we thinking.
LOL nice and simple. Love it !!!
I am working on building a guitar from scratch, which requires lots of odd, angled cuts. This idea is way better than the specialized jigs I have been making to help with these cuts. Thanks! I am setting up my first such jig now (laminating 2 thin sheets of plywood on my very flat reference surface, to which I will add a replaceable guide surface to run along the fence so that I can re-cut that reference face any time I want by running what is normally the blade-side of the jig along the fence to precisely set the total jig width for crucial cuts. I am considering pre-drilling holes so I can easily add reference blocks any time I want (and swap them around as needed for whatever cut I need to reproduce). Lots to learn and figure out.
Thanks for sharing with us James. I liked the jig you shared with us. Fred.
Thankyou for sharing
Hello, I do not normally comment on U tube, but
I have learned a great deal from watching your content.
I was a welder boilermaker for 40 years and woodworking is quite a challenge.
With your help challenges are easier
Always so practical, but highly informative!!! Thank you
Great ideas! Thanks
Brilliant James!!
I’m newish to the world of table sawing. This is genius 🤌🏼
Esta es la clase de consejos que encuentro muy útiles, como solucionar problemas de una manera que no involucre comprar herramientas carismas
Simple and usful... as always🙏
If you really want to get fancy use some pegboard and now you have the options of using 1/4 dowels for repeatable stops/fences.
KISS. Yep, totally agree. Thx Stumpy!!
I can see the advertisement banners splashing across the internet already.
"Now on sale for only $399.99! The brand new, already improved, Stumpy Nubs KISS Jig."
HA HA HA HA!! 😂😂😂
My check is in the mail Stumpy!

Master Crafted Jigs: We Are Not Amused!
This is such a great tip! Maybe obvious to some but this will be my secret weapon for solving some problems. Thank you!
Finally, something I can use in my not-one-fancy-tool garage. You da bomb.
Yeah, a piece of plywood does miracles! 😊
Thanks, James!
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
❤ I wish I had seen this sooner. You are always a problem solver with the simplest solution.
Superb. I’m a great fan of a “but wait there’s more” and use it in every video I make.
Absolutely love it, genius! My $500 is on the way!
Yet another quick and easy jig to achieve accurate cuts in an efficient and safe manner. Thanks for sharing.
Folks I've used double sided tape for decades--as a golf pro we've long used it to adhere grips to shafts. Quick trick.. Leave a leader. Don't cut through the backing tape every time. If you leave a leader of the backing tape that is longer than the double sided tape you no longer have to pick it off with a fingernail or knife.
Eureka! You have come up with what is truly the wonder jig of all time. And what a great deal at only $500.00. The envelope, with appropriate postage, is winging its way to you as I write this comment. Seriously, always enjoy your videos. I always wonder how many takes you do in order to keep a straight face while recording. Thank you so much for all the great information.
Just the kind of tips that makes me smile! Go on like this.
i have used this same jig many times....lol
i use a very similar jig but with t slots routed in it for clamping, and it runs in my mitre slot rather than against the fence
Thanks again for making us better makers. This “jig” is genius. The folks that want to sell me plans for complex jigs are gonna hate on this video. After all, “real” woodworkers must “complicate every sunset” if they’re worth their salt (or sawdust). The rest of us will continue to admire, respect, and, of course, remain supremely satisfied subscribers. We’ll keep learning from your videos and spend our time making things.
I appreciate this channel so much. It's the only one in my feed that shows really smart tips for getting the job done without extra expensive tools.
In lime .green it's $1500
BTW - with a longer scrap of plywood you can make a jig for a circular saw that will allow you to cut a very straight line without buying a tracksaw...
Thanks James
Love woodworking humor!
Thank you!
Great multi use jig. Good quality cutters. Thank you for y. Stay safe, warm, happy and healthy. From Henrico County Virginia 😊
Awesome tips!! Thank you!
