One of your best recent videos; you're not plugging a product, you're just plugging "good practice". More like this please

[@TadTheTinker]

Agreed.

[@bobmuir5462]

Our Man is not always ‘plugging’ just because he is using and explaining the tool. Now plugging or not some of us like to see the tools being used, it’s like a two for one video!! So please consider us newbies who need guidance on many subjects. Thank you Bob England

[@chrisyoungs3896]

Well said Bob.

[@bobmuir5462]

@@chrisyoungs3896 thank you Chris

[@jacobcarter5923]

Some tools are so good they should be plugged.

[@matthebert007]

Great Video! Thanks! A tip from the micro-jig info: You can pre-cut a slot with your table saw along the desired dovetails to help guide and alleviate some work on your rather expensive 24$ router bit if you are cutting a lot of tracks. I get really nice and clean straight dovetails when I pre-cut. Peace!

[@FixItFrench]

I’ve heard people talk about the five cut method before, but this is the first time I really understood what they meant. That makes so much sense

[@thenext9537]

It’s key. It’s the only way you know. If you have 40 parts to mill, you need consistency. It took me hours to calibrate my saws and fences. Guess what? Then you have to re check too. I do it just before a large run. One offs I’ll eyeball it and it’s fine. Otherwise trouble shall brew!

[@user-nx3zk5qi8t]

The calculator is invaluable. Until I learned how to dial in my saw and pushed past the doubt I had to make a sled(and other jigs),I wasn’t getting all I could out of it. Not only did it make to tool more useful but it was valuable practice and a confidence builder to make other things

[@jonboyd9186]

Glad to see a regular video again. I’ll come watch these, not the other stuff. The algorithm might say you’re growing from them, but this is what I subscribed for. 👍🏻

[@TheDublin47]

Very neat

[@terrytuell3361]

This project will definitely sneak in between all the projects my wife has me doing😂😂

[@MrSmackdab]

Nice. The coolest hack I ever built is a 36" square corian router table - you can go on CL and almost aways find contractors remnants recycle and get them for $100. They cut on a table saw, stupid easy, always flat and a way slippery surface and no issues. I use it all the time; made my rockler obsolete

[@sisc]

Great video and that goes for your shirts as well 🙂

[@gregohare2406]

Great video with a lot of good ideas. Just a thought, I use the same 1x4 handle on all of my router templates to keep my fingers away from the bit. Also provides better control.

[@ScottTaipaleRail]

my 2 faves are the first and 5th

[@joebeaton1101]

I agree on those as your first 5 Jigs... Jigs are invaluable and once made, you can use forever!! Thanks Matt!!

[@sofjanmustopoh7232]

That squaring procedure is great . My old cross cut jig was just squared with carpenter L square 😄

[@hansangb]

Love the router table jig.

[@WindRidgeWoodCrafts]

Love the small parts sled for the miter saw and I need to remake my table saw sled, as well. Thanks for mentioning the five cut calculator, as well.

[@daviddickerson3422]

IMHO, and subject to be corrected, the cleat on the planer sled should be on the other end. The planer is cutting TOWARDS the feed side, creating a tremendous force toward you!

[@jonathanhowe42]

I wondered about this as well.

[@louzander]

That miter saw jig is genius! Just got my first miter saw and I'll definitely make one of those.

[@quadsquadracingable]

Ill make every one of these this week! Thanks for the reminder

[@scottwilliams8636]

I built the jointer sled and it works extremely well, thanks for the helpful videos!

[@wayneleroy6382]

Thank you for making this video. I am recently retired and finally have time to make woodworking one of my main hobbies. I already built a crosscut sled but now I see how useful and essential these other jobs are to move to the next level. I especially like that you demonstrate the use of dovetail slots. This is great because it allows a beginner to start getting great results without spending lots of money right away on aluminum T-slots and the other hardware that is required to work with them. And of course I'll be able to build the jigs faster. Thanks again. 🙂👍

[@robertodebeers2551]

Excellent presentation. So, I nailed two boards together and now I need a nap.

I’m liking that thin rip jig. Thanks Mighty Matt!

These are awesome! Even the simplest of jigs and holders help tremendously. Basically, it can replace a hand or helper with a few pieces of wood. Great demos and explanations. Thanks!

Awesome jigs Matt,I plan to order the crosscut sled from Kings Fine Woodworking for my table saw but will be making one for my miter saw and also my router table as well as get the thin rip jig for the table saw. Awesome content as always and looking to 2024 for even more. Also in 2024 I’ll be making a trip to Les Steen Hardwoods in North Little Rock when it comes time for making the tops for my cabinet in the mancave as well as the trim for around the boards.

Some excellent jigs. Thanks for sharing, from your latest subscriber. Cheers from Australia.

[@am2dan]

You can build a thin rip jig, too, though it requires a couple parts you may not have laying around. I had a small wheel bearing that I mounted in the end of a thin piece of hardwood, and routed a slot for a miters slot clamp that I borrow from my diy feather board. I agree it is a very handy thing to have whether store bought or hand made. 👍

Real nice grouping of great jigs Matt. The fact that they're simple to make, is pure bonus!

[@richtes]

Need another smaller crosscut jig since the one I made is too big. Being able to do a 20” door is great, but so much is smaller that it’s just a big heavy thing to move. Think something 13” deep as a complement would be great.

[@ronaldparent9524]

[@bbasselgia1963]

Thanks for all of your great videos. Even when I have plans I like to draw out things in Sketchup, It gives me a better picture of how something should go together. The jointing jig was a challenge. After you draw the 1st dovetail groove, the edges are no longer parallel so the push/pull tool won't work. Have not been able to figure out how to get it to "Push thru". The only way I could figure out to draw this was to draw 18 blocks with half the dovetail groove on 2, 3, or 4 sides, then line them all up together. I'm using Sketchup free, Does anyone know of an easier way to draw grooves that cross?
