    I used a saw like this 45 or 50 years ago and haven't seen one scene until, I saw you using one in your videos, wanted to make one right away but wasn't sure what kind of blade you used. Thank you for this very valuable saw build, sometimes it nice sawing by hand instead of a noisy saw running! Cheers and Hats off to you!

    @theofarmmanager267 Před 2 lety +1

    I greatly admire anyone who has the patience and precision to produce a perfect result. I also don’t underestimate the joy of working with beautiful tools and jigs - made even more delightful if you have made them personally. My shop has many, many jigs; some are used a lot whilst some only for a particular result.
    I have never found it difficult to make good mortise and tenon joints with one proviso that I will come to. Before I had a dedicated morticer, I used a forstner bit followed by mortise chisels to make the mortise first. Then, using a bandsaw or table saw, I would rough cut the tenons and finesse them with plane and chisel.
    I now use the 2 sizes of dominoes for virtually all that; either with standard dominoes or shop-made so-called mega dominoes. It does takes a bit of the pleasure away from making perfectly-fitting M&T joints but I have to do it that way now because my back and shoulders particularly restrict the amount of heavy repetitive work I can do by hand. I won’t get rid of the morticer or my shop-made tenon jig because, once in a while, I feel I ought to stress my body too far.
    It’s not a criticism of this jig; it’s certainly not a criticism of the skills involved in making the jig. I would suggest that, if you have all the skills required to make this very accurate jig, then you don’t need it. In other words, using those same skills you would be able to cut very accurate tenons.

    • @TheWoodCrafter1
      @TheWoodCrafter1  Před 2 lety

      Thank you for your comment, yes there are many other ways to cut a tenon shoulder and miter cuts, you are absolutely right, I just wanted to try this one and see how it works and how accurate it can be, it ends up very accurate and delightful to use! However, there are few of these miter jacks left out there so I thought I would try making one, maybe this doesn't justify the need for one as much as the joy of making one or sometimes the joy of a challenge! To be honest I have made far more complicated projects that I have never published and the question remains does the joy of doing something lie within how much useful it is or within the sense of accomplishment and challenges to overcome.

      @@TheWoodCrafter1 thank you for your reply and I agree entirely. I have made things were complicated to make but don’t reflect that in the result. Like you it seems, I get pleasure out of 2 elements - the joy in the making, the patience and the precision and then the joy it is for someone else. My particular favourite style is Arts and Crafts which evolved into Prairie and Mission. Perhaps not the very first stark products and not the final iteration by people such as Greene and Greene. I try to follow many of their mantras. A couple are:
      Patience, Precison, Perfection
      Have nothing in your house which is neither useful nor beautiful
      For the second one, I try to have both form and function in the end result. Again, thank you for the reply and I hope you understand that no criticism was intended - in fact, just the reverse for your skills.

    Идея приспособления гениальна.
    Но можно сделать второй шаг - сделать приспособление для пиления в вертикальном положении полотна. То есть, некая шина + деревянный блок, который фиксирует полотно. По сути - перевернуть jointmaker pro от bridge city вверх ногами, и сделать это доступным по цене.
    А может даже и не переворачивать, а просто сделать так, чтобы полотно выступало из плоскости стола (в таком положении скорее всего придется регулировать полотно по высоте) + нужна шина/направляющая для детали.

    I love that saw sled/handle, is it an original design? If the tooth tip line was parallel to the face on that side you could use it as a depth stop, and adjust with shims to vary the depth quickly. Some time ago I cut trenches/dados for a shelf and clamped a board to the plate of my tenon saw to work as a stop, was awkward but worked pretty well, but I had to make sure the saw was at 90 degrees to the board.

    • @TheWoodCrafter1
      @TheWoodCrafter1  Před 2 lety +1

      Man, that shims tip is very useful thank you, I saw other designs like that on the net they do the same function but not Japanese blades, but that is what I found and I can use it now for cross and rip cutting though.

    • @lapislignum
      @lapislignum Před 2 lety +1

      @@TheWoodCrafter1 you could still use it for both but would have to have a think about how to get both blades aligned, maybe index pins or a tapered handle. I'd be tempted to make one with a western tenon saw because they are much cheaper than Japanese saws (here at least) I like shims, easy to add cardstock or masking tape for small adjustments.

    I don't understand. You cut it and then plane it. Planeing will remove any error in the cut. Why go to such lengths in the cutting?

    i'm not gonna say it isn't a cool jig because it definitely is. but I feel like if you have the skill to make it, you probably don't need it.

    Not to disparage this tool.... but there is a simpler Miter tool to use. Its already been in use for a very long time and has been dumped on the wayside of power tool development. I think a whole lot of people will go OH yeah!
    It is the Miter Box. It will do most of the things you want to do with this Miter clamp and modified block saw.
    It occurred to me while surfing CZcams offerings and it also occurred to me that although the regular Miter Box only does left and right 45*s and a 90 there isn't any reason why it can't do dovetails or any other angle desired.
    It is the simple idea of a guided saw jig. The thing that so many people have put down as "learning to use the saw"
    I even used a high end miter saw box that was made of metal and had the guides on posts, with the posts able to swivel to any degree. Kind of like a powered miter saw capability without the power.
    Any way a specialized Miter Box needs to come out of history and take its place in workshops everywhere.

      The miter box can make very accurate miter cuts as you just mentioned, but you still need to flip the workpiece on it’s 4 faces if you are cutting a tenon! The miter jack will hold the workpiece in the same position until you finish cutting all 4 faces at the same level and squareness!
      Or maybe be a chair’s maker vise will do that job and yet much easier to make than the miter jack!!

      @@TheWoodCrafter1 Not meant as a replacement, as any jig can't replace them all.
      A possible improvement ( at least for casual users such as me) is to embed very strong magnets in the block of wood. This way you use any saw and can have several blocks for specific spacers such as used at 9:30 (or attach more spacers to the bottom of your 'permanent' saw block)
      Another use for your system, clamp and block saw is for modelers who are working with itty bitty tiny but accurate stuff.

    Well, I guess I'm just too stupid to get what you're doing. I could really do with some explanations. Why are you constantly changing the angle of the blades in the blade holder (which I really like)? What's the big difference between your jig and a plain vise? What is the lock on the back of the jig for?

    • @TheWoodCrafter1
      @TheWoodCrafter1  Před 2 lety

      Well, I guess I wasn’t too clear about what I am doing.
      I was switching between cross-cutting and rip cutting blades on this Ryoba Japanese pull saw, they are different from each other.
      That miter jack is designed as a vise with 3 cabinet makers common angles as references 45, 22.5, and 90, if constructed correctly it will give you all these angles by registering that saw bottom to the surface of the vise as shown in the video, you shouldn’t consider this as a vise, its a jig for specific purpose! Something similar to the shooting board.
      The brass hook when engaged will pull the 22.5 degrees reference block to allow you to cut 22.5 miter cuts.
      Hope this will help 🤝

    I may be missing something but I don't see anything here that I can't accomplish faster and easier with a decent table saw.
    Interesting piece of equipment but it seems to be re-inventing the wheel.
    Unless you are in an area where table saws are not available.

    What happens when the wood in your jig expands and contracts changing the angle of your cut? This is all so time consuming and time is money.

    I don‘t want to spoil the party, but to me this looks like a huge overkill to a japanese saw. If you know how to handle the saw, there is no reason for this jig. The work is done nicely, yes, but it is way unnecessary to build the jig. You still need to use the raw japanese saw anyway…

      Very well! thank you for taking the time to comment and to share your experience, it is still beyond my skill level to cut a 22.5 degree miter free handed without the aid of a jig of some sort, but as you said there are many woodworkers that can handle the Japanese saw and make that achievable! Sadly I am still not one of them, but I shall keep practicing! Respect to you sir 🤝
