Thank you for all that you do. I have found myself unemployed and am now making my living selling my crafts. Your tips have greatly improved my efficiency thus my my profitability. Thank you again!
This was finally a really easy jig to make dovetails. The jig is simple to make and the procedure to cut both pieces of the joints is also very easy. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you for providing this great information. I've learned so much from your videos. This dovetail tip is going to really help me advance my projects.
How feasible do you think it would be to cut the tails first with a router dovetail bit, then use that as a template for cutting the pins with this jig? I'm asking because I do'n't have a bandsaw, and I'm not super confident in my jigsawing abilities.
I like this jig: you could do this on a table saw as well, same jig. For the tail half of the joint, couldn't a 2nd jig be made using the same idea, in the first jig, the 2 inner fences are set at 12 degrees to the edge of the jig, a 2nd jig using the same idea could be made with a fence that has a 12 degree incline. It wouldn't be perfect perfect but you would have 2 jigs on the same table saw, one for pins, one for tails - the tails may require some refinement with a chisel or file but I think it would work as well.
Great video Stump, I wish you had put this out two years ago, anyone want to buy an inexpensive Rockler Dovetail Jig? Why not begin with, "I'm James Hamilton better known as Stumpy Nubs?" God Bless my friend.
Hi Stumpy. I enjoyed the video and have cut all the wooden pieces ready to assemble. I have 1 question. Does the runner in the t track have to be at 90 degrees or is it not important. Thanks for this and all the other videos to which I regularly turn for advice.
I'm looking to purchase a dedicated router for my router table, which will be based on your design. I'd really appreciate your recommendation(s) for which router I should purchase. I thought that CZcams would be full of reviews and recommendations for such routers, but I was wrong. I'm looking for a variable speed router around 2.25hp; I don't think I'll need a 3hp big boy. I intend to use a router lift. I'm looking to get a name brand router , although not one near the price of a Festool. Thanks in advance for your reply.
For everyday sort of work, I like Porter Cable. I have other routers, but the PC's are the ones I use in router tables because they are widely used among pros, and have never failed me. Get one on Amazon ( amzn.to/2yvHIR4 ). For heavy duty (3HP) I like Portamate. Cheaper than PC, but still nice. ( amzn.to/2xoo5oT )
I went with a Porter Cable a few years back when I set up a router table with lift. I have another Bosch monster plunge router from way back and a smaller Bosch handheld, but have been very happy with the Porter Cable mounted in the router table.
Sorry, new to routing. I built your jig, works great but but doesn’t come up high enough. I just have a standard bit set, any recommendations for longer bits?
@@tylerslomkowski7924 - This bit's not cheap, but it will be the most used bit in your shop. The spiral shape will prevent tear-out when cutting templates, it will lean the chips better when mortising, and the long cutting length will make it work with even thick work pieces. amzn.to/2EmyxUJ

Glen Huey & James Hamilton. What a powerful combo of skill, artistry imagination, craftsmanship and execution. Thanks guys!

Seen this Monday, went down the shop today, Tuesday, and made it... works like a charm.... Thankyou... for posting this... very nice and simple jig.

Brilliant....works a treat....thanks from SW France...
Stumpy, you make great videos, I love them all! Great humor Too! Please keep them coming!
Nice jig design, I like machine cut dovetails they are more accurate and stronger.
As always you make things simple, thanks again

Takes while finding a simple and well explained video like this. This is a great explanation and a simple method. I'll put together a jig like that.
This is superb. Game changer. Thank you!
I really like this jig. This one is on the make list.
Good idea! Works fine.
great video! now to go buy that bandsaw I've been wanting
What a great way of cutting dovetails. Nice work!

Nice jig, well explained and demonstrated. You could even use a table saw which wouldn't try pull the workpiece quite as much. 👍
I have a table saw version coming very soon. It's an attachment for a table saw sled. ;)
I can't wait for that one
So if I’m using a dovetail bit in my router to cut the tails, and the jig to make the pins, I should set the jig fence to the angle of my bit?
Nice jig. I am looking at buying or building a jig. This one is very simple and seems to work well.
Excellent, thanks! Looking forward to your book.
I have hand plane envy!
I want to make hand cut dovetails that look like machine cut! Just can’t get ‘em perfect.

Es un video de colección de herramientas?
Wow, you have an awesome wood shop, killer
I like it but I think I'll make one that fits my tablesaw instead. Not crazy about roughly 3/4" high cuts on my router table.
Great idea Stumpy

could a dovetail bit cutting on an extended piece behind one of the angled guides eliminate the need to cut on the bandsaw?
Can't wait to give this a try!!
Love it!
Great technique, James!
Stumpy wouldn't that jig work the same with a datto stack on the table saw?
Great jig James. Could you use the jig saw in a jig instead of a bandsaw?
awesome video. thanks.
Great idea.
Why did you choose 12 degrees on the sled?
Excellent video & instructional
Super video!
What brand is that hand clamp used to hold the work piece in the jig? It looks like a good one. Opps, almost forgot ... great video!
What kind of ruler are you using?
Good idea!!
my friend, the machine on the right side of the video 1:25 min is also from the same manufacturer?
lovely
What material was used for the miter bar in this video? It appeared to be plexiglass or something similar.
It is some sort of clear acrylic material. I bought some miter bar stock made from it at a woodworking show some years back.
I'm totally lost. I guess I will have to buy a jig.
seems that just gluing the crossbeams are not enough to ensure security...
End grain gluing adds very little strength.

good video,,,
I was just wondering were did you get that pencil you are using I would love to get one like that one please let me know
I got it in a stationary store
The router bit does not come up high enough to make cuts as deep as I need, any suggestions?
A longer bit.

Anyone else expected ‘Stumpy Nubs’ to be missing a few fingers? 😅
my friend, could you tell me how you call this machine and manufacturer that appears 1:25 min. thank you.

👍
What a name Glenn Huey.
Ate too much glue his gut went kablooie
So fucken sick bro subscribing right now...
All good until you want me to use a bandsaw.
I don't have one and am not getting one in the near future.
Why do they call you Stumpy Nubs is it because you cut parts of your fingers off and learned the hard way or what? haha
Misleading title... Thumbs down
