I was in the chat room recently when FLWoodRat (AKA Bruce Somers) posted his multi-use tablesaw jig. I thought it was a great concept, and one that could be built upon for a woodworkers individual needs. Here’s what Bruce had to say about it: This jig can be built to any size and out of any...
s too. A circular saw and a track or other guide could certainly be used for wider boards. If you don’t mind a rougher cut, you could also use a jigsaw. And while the bandsaw will work in some cases, I have never been a fan of using it for cross-cuts……maybe it’s just me. Dad...
In the Weekend Wall Shelf episode, I showed you how to use a parallel jig to create dados. But the jig was originally created for making coves at the tablesaw. So here’s a special jig made specifically for the purpose of creating dados with your router. The best part is, you can get exact-wid...

More than any tool in the wood shop, the tablesaw generates the most heated discussions surrounding safety. Part of that could certainly be attributed to the whole SawStop/legislation situation. But one thing we all must admit is that the tablesaw is potentially one of the most dangerous tools in t...

nery process involves two parts. First, a shallow-angled hole is drilled into one board to create the “pocket”, usually by using a special jig. The workpiece is then butted against the adjoining piece and joined using special pan-head self-tapping screws. The joints take a minimal amoun...
...will be able to make this project. So as I prepare for the video, I need to run through and create a prototype of the project itself, as well as the jigs and things we’ll need to make it all happen. The grid structure will be made by creating a bunch of little dados and grooves. And with s...
I made a very simple gluing jig for cutting board strip lamination. Basically a 20×30 inch piece of Baltic birch ply with a lot of grooves routed in for glue squeeze out and a back fence and side fence. You have no problems with clamping up the board pieces. They do not move around or slide ou...
