Cut Perfect Tenons with this Table Saw Jig!

Get the step-by-step plans for this Adjustable Tenon Jig here: www.woodsmithplans.com/plan/a...
This Adjustable Tenon Jig was featured on the Woodsmith Shop, E403: Table Jigs & Accessories. In this video excerpt, the guys walk you through the construction and use of this jig , so you can get the best results.
A shop-built tenon jig will fit nice and snug on a rip fence the day you build it, but over time it can become loose - or too tight - from changes in humidity. Our tenon jig design solves the problem. Each time you mount the jig, you'll adjust the back plate to bring the jig up snug to your table saw fence. And that means clean, accurate tenons on any project, any time of year.

The first half of the kzbin.infoUgkx3ICSK6nSknaL_45CU2NmFSoXjarGMDiJ book is everything about wood: types, tools, finishes, setting up shop etc. The second half is all about doing projects for inside and outside of the home. The color pictures are helpful. After reading a dozen of these types of books, this is probably the best overall (layout, color photos, plans). Only detraction is that many of the projects use a table saw/router/planer, which are usually expensive and take up space, so the plans are less friendly to newcomers and the budget conscious. But I know I can use a drill, circular saw or a jigsaw to make the projects.

They are the cleanest carpenters I've ever seen .

[@chrissewell1608]

I am loving all these jigs. Thanks for showing us the easy way to create those slots, too. Now I need a router table, next!

[@WoodsmithShowandmagazine]

We do have videos on building router tables too. ;)

[@derekpercy7787]

Brilliant Video! Thanks so much for sharing guys - Great Work

[@rickhickman2730]

That drill hole for alignment tip you mention around 2:00 in, also works well for cutting tenons with stop blocks on the router table. Good call!

[@JulianSanchez-rl3gz]

MAESTROS MIL GRACIAS POR COMPARTIR SUS EXPERIENCIAS.

[@SteveBueche1027]

Nice. Will be building this on The weekend 👍🏻

[@Sundardevsaha-e3k]

Delightful video! Thank you so much for your help!

[@WoodsmithShowandmagazine]

Glad it was helpful!

[@bradgearly]

I recommend the table saw if you're making bridles!

[@DEG1985]

Perfect video very well designed for the new audience that is learning woodworking techniques. The television script is very interesting, I congratulate the director of the program, I am a TV director and I am learning to work with wood. It is very interesting to be able to do something and feel satisfied with the achievement.

Excellent video fo the tenon jig!

There are more to come too. :)

[@SuperDavidBrothers]

I didn't know you could make mortise and tenon joints with a Table Saw that's so cool!! I thought you could only do those with a Mortiser.

[@WoodsmithShowandmagazine]

Thanks!

[@markielinhart]

Thank you! Excellent demo 👏🌹🇦🇺✌️

[@jasonbindseil7238]

Love the jig. It looks like you sealed the mdf with something. What was it?

[@walterschock1270]

Wow!!!

[@shaunbeard593]

Hi great video btw. The wooden stop block u used , could this then be used as a template for all joints the same size. Just write on it the measurements and keep

[@WoodsmithShowandmagazine]

Yeah, I think that is a pretty clever tip if you wanted to have specific stops to set up for similar tenons in the future... you might have to do a little tweaking to get a perfect fit, but it's a great starting point. One thing that you'll have to consider is that the workpieces will also need to be exactly the same thickness as before.

[@JSCRocketScientist]

Excellent jig design. I only have one comment that I wish you would address. I have been trying to buy a router table since July. No one has them, of ANY brand. I even wrote to the Kreg company. Their answer was that they can't produce them fast enough and some parts are not sourced in the US. They are STILL trying (in NOVEMBER!) to fill their back orders. If we cannot buy a router table, I would have preferred that you also discussed a way to make this without a table. I do have a router. No table. I use it freehand.

[@ab-cj3up]

nice technic, with the long holes on the router table. I was wondering if this would have been a case for the use of the guide rail in front of the router? i have seen it seldemly used, honestly i cant remeber one case where it was used. i know you properly tackled the the problem (short side routing on a long board) with the multiple passes, but i also would love a short feedback. thank you in advance

[@RedRocketsGlare]

I agree, other builds I have seen simply build the base 'to fit' with the fit tolerance of a playing card

[@scottlouis7785]

I see by comments below I`m not the only one & looking forward to many more ( be 79 in may)

[@villijs33321]

Had to see twice and yes the second Kreg stop moved - that's not a good stop what's lose and not rigid... but the tenon jig is nice

[@alishanmao]

I see that saw threw all those small pieces that were cut at a good speed. aren't they fast to cause injury? or they can be. cuz i see them fly back towards you

[@WoodsmithShowandmagazine]

I assume we are looking at about the 7:18 mark in the video... I think because we are shooting so close up it looks more dramatic than it actually is. If you look closer the piece starts to slow down before it leaves the screen and if I recall correctly it never actually gets past the edge of the table saw.

[@alishanmao]

@@WoodsmithShowandmagazine I just started in woodworking and most scary thing for me is Table saw. But I am always thinking 10 times before putting a piece to cut making sure no kick back. i had 3 kick backs so far. two I did on purpose to see how things can go wrong with small wooden pieces and man it goes like a bullet. I always stay at sides at safe region, and wear protection. I see you were standing at sides too. which is good. still we gotta be careful from these kick backs. good video. i learned a lot. Thank you :)

[@jorgedr5835]

@@alishanmao You're doing good. altough that piece of wood particularly didn't go fast backwards. There are some pieces that may get back at good speed. So trying not to stand directly behind it's always a good idea. Hope my english was good enough to make my point ;)

[@user-no8os8fv2i]

😃😃😃😃good~~~

[@CodeSe77en]

That’s slick, but how’d did you cut that mortise??

[@WoodsmithShowandmagazine]

That's a secret ;) In this case, I believe we drilled a series of overlapping holes at the drill press and then cleared out the remaining waste with a chisel.

[@FuzzyScaredyCat]

Was this a competition to see how many presenters you could get in? ;)

[@talltimberswoodshop7552]

At the risk of being classed as a troll, I have to ask if you can "widen in" the bridle joint mortise?

[@WoodsmithShowandmagazine]

LOL... we joke about that choice of words all the time too, so we'll let it pass. :)

[@raysawheb2428]

Where Can I Buy the Tenon clamp?

[@WoodsmithShowandmagazine]

Here is one source for the hold down clamp: amzn.to/2CMud2M

[@bradgearly]

That'd be one way I can make tenons on a table saw. Plus, there's a way to make mortises: Using a router.

[@austin.hanson]

I've always heard you shouldn't use a miter gauge and the fence at the same time?

[@amiddled]

True if you are cutting a piece that will break off. Then you risk that piece getting trapped and binding up the blade. If you are hogging out waste (which is the case here) there is no break out piece to get bound up.

[@WoodsmithShowandmagazine]

Excellent question! As Andy said .... As long as you don't have a waste piece that is loose between the blade and fence you should be okay.

[@huwdavies5264]

Nice jig. How come your workshop is always immaculately clean? Please let me know your secret. Cheers, Huw

We just move all of the mess off screen... out of sight, out of mind, right?

How many people takes to change a bulb?

[@WoodsmithShowandmagazine]

4, but they all have to wear matching shirts. ;)

[@williba24]

Why adjustable? It is made with MDF in video.

[@WoodsmithShowandmagazine]

The fit around the fence is adjustable so that could possibly fit around any sized table and/or you can adjust the fit so it slides easily along the fence (not too tight or too loose). Yes, material we used is MDF, but you could just as easily use plywood, as well.

[@geerthein5002]

nice program, but i am surprised that you, while serving as an example function, do not wear hearing protection
