To me this seems super obvious, but a ton of other channels don't ever do it. I really appreciate that you show what you are making and how its used before jumping into the actual build. A lot of channels will start building and its only half way through the video to understand the actual design

[PaganWizard]

I really like this jig A LOT!!! The only thing I would do, that you did not do, is add a miter strip to the underside. You can buy one, or make your own out of a piece of scrap hardwood. This would allow you to use the jig without having to rely on lining it up perfectly to the edge of the blade using your rip fence.

[justgoballistic]

I built one of these about 20 years ago because I had a need for legs tapered on all 4 sides. My stop is adjustable in height and has a steel pin which fits in a hole drilled in the bottom of the leg. Works like a dream.

[russmartin]

Chris, I subscribed even though I already have far too many woodworking channels. What I like about you is you are down to earth and a regular guy. You don't even remove outtakes. That's cool. I want to see people who are real who make mistakes and are not embarrassed to show them. A lot of woodworking is about how you recover from mistakes. Oh. I will make this jig one of these days, but I think I would put some screws in the T-Track to be safe.

[SuperZmeister]

My whole shop is a ‘catch-all’. I always know where everything I need is!
Might take me forever to find the exact part I desperately need, but It makes the day go by faster.
Never be ashamed of the place you make such great creations. I always enjoy your videos, keep’em coming.

[woodworksbygrampies]

I have lots going on currently, not to mention building my shop in my two car garage that I haven't even table saw is still in the box, I'm at work (lunch break), and all I want to do now is race home, unbox the saw, and get to building. Thanks for the inspiration Chris! Have a good one, all the best to you and your entire family.

[darodes]

Chris, I’m becoming a big fan of the channel!!! Videos like these are super helpful, and I’m always happy to see different persons’ little adaptations to jigs like these… it really helps beginners/newbies like me adapt and modify these jigs as well

[gandarwhite]

Dude one of the biggest reasons I love your videos above all others is they aren't overly orchestrated, it's the real you just doing your thing! And a wonderful thing it is! Keep up the great work brother!

[nwns]

Your ingenuity of creating a dado without a dado stack & making wedges is way cool. PS: thanks for the help positioning drawer slides on a 9" build, it worked well!

[asoggyburger]

Love the simplicity but also the versatility that comes with your design. Awesome video! Probably going to be making one of these soon!

[aprildegele]

Great jig! One suggestion if I may. Mark commonly used angles on the jig so you don't have to calculate every time. I also use the "build around the track" method for laying t-track. So much easier, don't have to use the dado stack, and if you mess up the placement, you haven't plowed your base. Just adjust/recut to make the adjustments and voila!

I noted you didn't put a runner on the bottom and I believe I can see why ... that it's not needed as you're referencing against the fence?

Fancy shims indeed. Save those bits because they can make some really cool inlay/angled inserts.

[stephenswindell]

A quick thought: if the piece you're edging hangs off your table before you run the second edge through, you will most definitely not get two parallel edges. Those edges will vary by whatever small (or large, or surface bump) is in the piece. Because you mount the piece in the sled, and the sled is flat, that first edge will be straight and square to the sled and table. However, once it's removed from the sled and run through the second time without the sled, any bow or twist or bump will vary the bottom surface's engagement with the saw table.

For very short pieces which are completely on the table before starting the second cut, and you are very careful pushing them through so as not to accentuate any twist, you may end up with two parallel edges.

[homeinspectingwithjohnhans]

I appreciate how you always encourage the use of "whatever tool you've got". The best suggestion was the used of a screw to get the burs out of the interior of the T-Track.

[TheSapro]

Thanks for this - I made it this weekend and am looking forward to getting some usage out of it! One note is that the T-track you linked to from Rockler is 3/8" tall, not 1/2", so I have the opposite problem in that the track sits below the 1/2" ply. rather than needing to be sanded down. Also, Rockler sells a similar jig for $79, and the T-track, clamps, and their 24-pc jig & knob kit came to $70 :)

[romanjohnston]

I am actually going to make this with 1/8 hardboard as the base of each layer. I work with thicker wood a lot so reducing the height of the jig/sled as much as possable while maintaining rigidity is my goal. Will take about 3/8 off the height of the platform the wood rests on. So my 3.5" blade height will still give me just a hair over 3". Thank you for working out the rest....nice design.

[Lwimmermastermetalart]

I think it’s a bit debatable whether it’s worth laminating plywood opposed to a dado or router bit to do the T track. But I’ll give you an A for creativity! Also I think a guide to go into the table slot is also a great idea. Don’t use wood though. Temp and humidity will change clearance . They sell nice pre fab adjustable slides or just use plastic like UHMW. Just an option but the fence does give you adjustability when you need it.

[lynardburt]

I’ve seen a few of these, yours was very easy, and ingenious too. I like your way of the track inlay, and also the mod while showing us the build.

[lpanebr]

It's the first time I see someone give the tip about not putting down pressure on the jigsaw! Thank you!!

[glencrandall]

I believe I have watched just about every straight edge/taper jig on you tube and this is about the best I have seen. The design is simple. Construction is straight forward. The cost of materials should be reasonable. You have specified all the materials and dimensions. And you demonstrated the construction details. (I don't understand why so many folks are asking for plans.) The only thing I can add is that before shooting your videos you should take a Valium. 😜

[crumbocrumbo]

I made one beautiful design. I didnt buy the expensive t-track I made my own by cutting a rabbit in the ply wood then filed the head of a carriage bolt flat to fit the slot for hold downs I'm very pleased with how it turned out. Thank you for this vid. Subscribed.
