You need to do this to make your jigsaw more useful!

I made this jig to help cut thin pieces with my jigsaw. It is relatively easy to make, and is a good starting jig for people to make and use. The toggle clamps are from Harbor freight and are great to have for many applications.

Very cool solution~!

[@NewmanSpecialsWoodwork]

Thanks! Definitely fun to figure out!

[@dwwoodbuilds]

Very clever! Great job! (also like the clamping solutions (the toggle clamps AND how it clamps to the workbench)👍

[@NewmanSpecialsWoodwork]

Thanks! The toggle clamp is fantastic- I loved replacing what it came with to make it more useful. I got the idea for the workbench clamping from my portable router table I made where I do the same thing!

I like this! Could one like this be made to make 45 deg. cuts, like for French cleats? New subscriber here! 😊

[@NewmanSpecialsWoodwork]

That’s such a great idea! The base of most jigsaws adjust, so that would make it easy to do!

Clever idea for sure. I like the solution.

Thanks Brenon! I appreciate the comment and for you watching the video! The longform videos are definitely not my strong suit

I like this a lot! In your mind, what is the difference between this setup and a scroll saw? Thank you.

[@NewmanSpecialsWoodwork]

A scroll saw is more versatile for intricate cuts. I see this as being good for longer curves and straight cuts where pieces are too thin to rip elsewhere.
