I am so glad I stumbled upon this post. I cried the day they stopped making "Shop Notes". Two of my favorite projects and ones I use every day in my weekend warrior shop are, issue 113 the folding router table (which I have made and refined many times) and issue 74 the extendable drill press table. What they call Shop Notes now is a shadow of its former self. Izzy you have gained a loyal follower.

That last jig is something I've been mulling over for a while. It's good to see one built and demonstrated, especially when it is used in ways other than what I'd had in mind and ends up solving other problems. I always appreciate the down to earth nature of the videos on this channel, and great to see that link to shop notes and the credit to them. It helps noobs like me cut through the hype channels and get to working better.

Having an E-reader with all the episodes of shopnotes would be like having an indexed version almost. I don’t have one so it’s a complete assumption, but they must have a search function plus as a magazine that has an index(table of contents)in the beginning of each episode

You know what Izzy, I was building some Adirondack chairs on the weekend and when I was settting up the frame of the chair I was clamping all kinds of clamps to hold the front and back legs vertical as I installed the cross members of the chair, the second jig is perfect for this assembly process. Thanks
@joesmith15744 ай бұрын
Shopnotes is a great magazine! I love the issue where they built an adjustable box joint jig, I just got to find my copy so I can build the thing. Years ago, I worked in a cabinet shop, and the boss made copies of the jigs and fixtures page from Woodsmith so that we could reference it if we ran into problems building something. It was a great reference.

Not a typical "jig and fixture" video... but for the pattern follower and the expanding fixture, IMO. But, all except for the pattern jig are EXCELLENT ideas for people less mobile!! I watched a friend work in the shop from a chair, and these "extra hand" jigs would've been excellent for him! I'll end up building all but the clamp jig, as I end up doing a lot of large boxes and drawers. Very cool video!

Been using an old Incra jig for spacing things. Original Incra Jig. I think it’s from early 80’s but it’s just two pieces of plastic 6x10 that interlock with 1/32 teeth. Made to set a router fence accurately. I just use it anywhere I need a spacer.

Great video. Improvements for thingy: magnets for saw at end (to hold saw), and 45 and 30 cuts for mitreing. Your "third hand" name it that. And the last piece, make it attachable to a larger base to use as a stand. You make great jigs. Keep up the good work. And have fun!

Shopnotes is back as a download only magazine - 4 issues a year - and they put out a message that they were considering doing a 'Shopnotes Annual' print version with all the year's contents (so you can read it by candle while the power is out). Also, like the Taytools clamps with the edgebanding strap (another retailer put out a similar tool years ago but they are now price gouging on International shipping, so they lost me as a customer)
