Please share my video with your friends. I hope you and your friends are safe and enjoying woodworking!

[@elliothuntington8980]

I really like your channel! I watch your videos all the time, and, I've purchased some of your plans. I think it would be really awesome if you would make a playlist that would show the order in which the tools should be made, progressing from the most simple and useful, to the most complicated. I would love to make all the tools you've demonstrated on your channel. I'm thinking of a playlist that would show an absolute beginner, with no tools, where to start, and how to progress, needing to purchase the fewest tools.

[@brucewilliamsstudio4932]

You are a true craftsman and I appreciate your style and experience. Keep up the great work!

[@peterjung8985]

Hallo JSK, das ist ein großartiges Video, super Ideen die du uns präsentierst 👍👏!!! Ich hätte mal eine frage: gibt es ein Video von dir in dem du zeigst wie du die Ansaugung baust mit der man die Bretter ansagt damit sie nicht verrutschen? Mach weiter so mir deinen Videos!!! 👋

[@jerbear197]

You have to be the tidest joiner/carpenter I've ever seen.. Hmm on second thoughts that should be "I've never seen"! Why do we never see your face..?

I forgot to ask. What is that box cube that seems to magically hold wood in place while you cut it...???

I have to say that this is not only one of the most creative woodworking channels on here, but is actually a pleasure to watch. No techno music, no ridiculously expensive machinery. I love all the jigs you made in here, but my favorite is probably the fine adjustment jig. The rounded end with the metallic tape and the magnet was an absolutely elegant solution! Thanks for reminding us all that this doesn't need to be overly complex, just well thought out.

[@eddieforward5770]

He uses ridiculously expensive wood for thos jigs though.

[@barbarianatgate2000]

@@eddieforward5770 Agreed. But, it's also a jig that will be around for a very long time, and is worth showing off.

[@dallinostler4794]

It’s true… he uses like the most premium wood I’ve seen… like the plywood is pristine condition. Like not even a blemish in any of the layers. Then the extruded aluminum he uses along with his fasteners are all premium products. I’m not saying this is the case for him, he may have special circumstances or connections. But to build almost any of his larger pieces of equipment I’m sure that the price of materials is very similar to the price buying the professionally manufactured units. Obviously not the top of the line units but mid grade ones for sure. Maybe in Japan materials are cheaper… maybe he bought a excessive amount before inflation ruined everything.

[@RDAUGIRD]

@@dallinostler4794 I believe, in Japan and other places over there, woods that we consider exotic are fairly common. Also, a lot of these are built with small pieces. Maybe he gets drops from a high-end furniture builder. Great work to be sure.

[@cyrilnorrie8450]

These jigs are brilliant! Your projects are always so well thought out, accurately made and yet never over-engineered. Your video techniques are also excellent. You don't have unnecessary background music and you don't make us watch you drill 16 holes (all exactly the same) but you do show each important step. Thanks so much for all that you do! 1

[@kingofcastlechaos]

I have almost 50 yrs in woodworking, and while I have made many of these jigs over the years, I still look forward to watching you fabricate them. Your precision and economy of motion are very impressive to me. I am retired now, and hope to finally build some items for MY family. When I do I will be using some of YOUR tips. Well done, keep[[ up the good work!

[@abishai3234]

That fine adjustment jig is ridiculously useful. Made it a few days ago and been using it non stop. I added a long and soft spring on the screw - the tension prohibits the screw from turning on its own.

[@torbenbop1965]

Good idea, i noticed That the adj. Screw was spinning on his first run in the video.

[@herbertprince2192]

I am totally impressed with everything you've done in this video. I'm over 60 years of age, and just would have liked to know these things 40 years ago. Especially like the small suction jig you have, and the jig with hinges which lines up the bit with the edge of the router. I'm totally blown away, thank you for sharing your experience, expertise and knowledge with an 'old dog' !

[@surfingcuriositywaves4046]

Thanks! My tools become more valuable every time you post a video. The satisfaction of making the jig is so much that I sometimes make jigs that I do not use after the jig is finished.

[@jisakukobo]

Thanks for your help. I use it carefully for content creation.

[@gregoryalexander6864]

Thank you so much for your videos! They have reignited my desire for woodworking. You've proven to me that I don't need a lot of money to get the job done!!! Blessings to you and all!

Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us. I am a furniture restoration and fabricator with 50 years experience. Your channel has been an inspiration for so many ideas, jigs and shop tools that make my work easier and abilities better. Again, thanks from The Sawdust Factory, Nashville, Tennessee. Bless you and yours.

[@billyblackie9417]

1 thing I like about watching your same videos again and again is that I get to see how you do things and then I begin to understand each uses better and better. But this time watching this video you gave me extra ideas and uses I can apply to other things I want to make. It is great to watch your videos a few times it gives people a better idea how to do things and also how to apply your ideas to help with other projects you are truly a talented person thank you so much

[@billyblackie9417]

I shared your video with my Nephew as he making things and looking at ways to help in other tasks. I also advised he watch all your videos as they are all great, practical and can be applied in other projects and ideal for problem solving

[@barrylitchfield8357]

I appreciate you sharing your skill, ideas, and most of all your attention to fine details in the projects that you build. You must have a large storage area for the jigs that you build! And a good source for aluminum track and hold down knobs! Keep up your wonderful videos. You're the master of building jigs and machines.

[@nivail7225]

I am a beginner woodworking hobbyist and a great admirer of your work. A clean, precise work, without unnecessary music and repetitions. Perhaps because of my lack of knowledge I have great difficulty finding the channels and plates you use, I would appreciate it if you could give a description so that I could look for it on the internet. I'm in Brazil and here some things are very expensive because of the exchange rate. Again congratulations on your work.

[@chrisperry5129]

You and your homemade tools and jigs are awesome and you should be proud. I use routers often and have learned much lately😊

[@barry.w.christie]

It's good to see so many jigs all in the one video, most I have seen (variations of) before, but some for the first time ... thank you for sharing.

[@gypsy2]

You are truly the 'Wizard' of Jigs. I am rarely impressed by most of these videos, but am so happy that I found You. You are like the 'Swiss-Watchmaker' of Carpentry. Simplicity combined with Precision. Even Your video shares the same Qualities as Your work. Can't thank You enough for sharing. You have most likely just saved me thousands of dollars. Thanx Again, JSK-koubou !!!

[@chuckmastacheese]

I happily paid for and downloaded these plans. An absolute steal for $7 USD. Can't wait to start making these!

[@fredholmes1122]

You are very organized and so very precise in carrying out your projects!!! The best I have seen on KZbin… Do you use a layout program to work up you layouts??? If so which one??? A parts list for your projects, especially extruded aluminum stock, would be a great help to us!!!

[@Telemaster864]

I can't get over the home made vacuum clamp lol ingenious! The vertical track saw is pretty cool too lol. Every tool/jig/accessory this dude makes is a stroke of genius

[@ianmoore525]

I made a baseplate for my makita trim router recently in polycarbonate. Found that I had to spend ages on each hole, give it a quick jab on the drill press, wait 10 or more seconds and then another one. Only way to get a clean hole rather than your first set of holes with all the melted dags hanging off it. Enjoyed your video, very helpful

[@spyrothebeardeddragon]

Brilliant video, saved for later as I will be attempting all 11 of those useful gigs. Who knew the trimmer/router could be so versatile! Bravo 👏🏼

[@goddale2002]

I have mixed feelings watching your videos. I’m in awe by your creativity and skill yet I’m left feeling dim witted. You are an excellent craftsman sir. Very well done.

[@brendancurtin679]

Just an FYI to folks who want to make these, some will only work with the router bit you base it off. For example, the edge guide with the hinge (around 16 mins) only gives you the right line with the original bit. If you use a wider or narrower bit, the line will be off by the increase or decrease in the radius of the bit. For some jigs, you prob won’t ever use a different bit. But for some, you may, so just a word of caution (though almost anyone getting to the level of making and using these jigs prob already realizes that). That’s not a knock on these at all. These are amazing. I love how you use the jigs you’ve made to help make the other jigs. It really helps demonstrate how useful and versatile they are. A lot of other KZbinrs show you how to make a jig they say is useful, but then they don’t really demonstrate the usefulness as well. They cut up some scraps or something, which is fine and all. Oftentimes, I’m looking for how to make a jig for a specific reason. But if I’m just out here looking for what are some useful things I didn’t know I needed, having some actual use cases in the video is really helpful!

That was a riveting 44 minutes which was a great excuse not to go out into my sub zero workshop. Thanks for posting these wonderful ideas!

[@joevannucci1392]

Well, I stumbled on this and wound up losing 45 minutes, but gaining a whole BUNCH of ideas. And the video production is *perfect*. Nicely done! I prefer to do my joinery on the table saw vs the router, but I'll be making that four-fence thing right off. I'm ashamed to admit how often I've taped scrap to get similar jobs done, and then had to do it all over again for a slightly different situation.

Excellent video. I built my own router table, chopsaw and radial arm table, and they all attach together on wheels so I can take them out of my garage if I need to. They all have the same dimensions. However, I did not think about what you have done.that would have saved me so much space. Thank you.

[@boblordylordyhowie]

The router auxiliary handle is similar to one I also made from a monitor screen but I added two layers with the middle cut out to give me a vacuum channel. I also added a rotating vacuum tube to connect to my vacuum cleaner.

Excellent jigs JSK. As I watched you vacuum up metal shavings and then wood shavings, it gave me an idea for a video build. Design and construct a vacuum where you can use the same vacuum and hose to pick up both wood and metal shavings, except the shaving go to two different containers/bags by way of a "gate design." One labeled "metal" and one "wood" shavings, and possibly more; a third for plastics and another for dirt/debris. Just a thought. Again great video; God bless.
