2 DIFFERENT JIGS FOR THE CIRCULAR SAW - How I make a rip cut and cross cut jig for a circular saw.

In this video I show you how I make two different jigs for my circular saw or skill saw. I start with a rip cut jig and then use part of that jig to make a cross cut jig as well.

Thank you for showing how to do it with basic tools. The other videos that I had watched before this one used tens of expensive machines that most DIYers like me don't own.

[hickscorp]

Dude most content is overly complicated or requires other big tools. Thanks for making this video, which is simple, goes straight to the point, and leaves the ego of having a big workshop aside.

[GingerGiant]

This will be so much easier and cheaper than buying/renting a table saw. Thanks.

[no-whereman]

Your video was simple, concise, easy to follow and straight to the point. Nicely done! Thank you.

[gregs]

These jigs are nice and simple. Does not take up much space in my garage. Just got a new cordless circular saw. Perfect for a DIYer like myself.

[InnerPeaceDiaries]

Simple and efficient! Thank you will be using this to finish the cabinet door my daughter made. They will close now with a nice straight edge! Thanks ☺️

[AdamDrew]

Thanks so much for this video. There are lots of "how to make a jig" videos on YouTube, and I think I watched them all, but yours is the best in terms of both showing AND telling me how to actually do it.

[jtaylor]

I made 3 sizes of those jigs in 82 while working at a lumber yard and still have them. Great simple jigs.

[pinsandhar]

[hussaink]

Great video, simple and straightforward.. just like the Jigs.

[chrisbest]

Thanks Tim. Very simple and straightforward instructions using basic tools. 👍

[GrantOakes]

Of all the DIY saw guides I've seen yours is the easiest to make and will most likely give very accurate cuts, probably within 1/64th of an inch (0.4mm), and yes, I'm a Yankee.

[tonykay]

Excellent video. As a new wood worker it has helped me with a problem I had. Thanks for sharing.

[stuartdoran]

Thank you Tim. Enjoyable and informative video to watch.

[ScottRoman]

Thanks Tim - nice video as I was trying to figure out how to make some rip cuts. I saw on another video someone put a layer of 100% silicone caulk on the bottom and let it dry to make it grippier across the whole surface as opposed to the sandpaper which I’m thinking about trying out. I usually use a speed square for cross cuts but your jig will be great for cuts that are slightly longer. Thanks!

[robertvillen]

Thanks for the very useful vids... No fancy equipments required

[rsrawat]

I like this simple jig for cross cut and rib cut. Must make one. Thanks

[hardrock]
