Various woodworking jigs for hand tool work

In this brief video and in response to several requests, I show some of the jigs I use in conjunction with hand tool work.

-Thickness planer sled
-Thin stock holder
-Sticking board
-Curved work holder

Thanks Richard, I like the improvements over your earlier jig where you now have the nail set in the end block rather than in the base. Also with the work I am doing (many repeats of the same task) I go along with making the jig task specific to do a good job. I love your other jigs too.

Always enjoy seeing others jigs. Thanks.

I like the sled idea. The old way of doing this job is with a bench dog, a peg in the bench that is just shorter than the desired thickness of the stock. This can have a leather jaw, or you can put in two pegs and bridge it with a piece of scrap to create a wider stop. Then, to maintain its flatness as you plane, you “gang plane” narrow stock two (or more) at a time, aligning the grain.

Thank you, all very handy fixtures indeed!

Thanks for the quick reply. That will mean a lot of jigs though, sometimes I use 10mm, often 8mm as well as a little bigger depending on how valuable or how much timber I have. Like the idea of the double sided tape, must give that a try, hope it holds up, I tend to be an aggressive planer.

Great jigs if you have an apartment or very very small space and have to use hand tools for everything.

I haven't seen his face but I'm pretty sure this is Ricky Gervais.

Thanks Richard, how do you attach your side strips with the first jig so that you can vary the depth of the thicknessed piece?
