Quick and Easy Jig Knobs

[@paulsmessyworkshop]

Kenny, clever little project this week. Lots of uses and it gets rid of even more pieces of scrap. Nice job.

[@acutabove_woodworkings]

And don't forget that they are attractive knobs Paul. LOL. Thanks for tuning in sir. Great to hear from you.

[@earlbishop2314]

Thanks Ken, another great tip and show! Take care.

[@acutabove_woodworkings]

Glad that you liked it Earl. Thanks for tuning in.

The Jig Knob looks like it was made in a factory. That is a fine little piece of craftsmanship. Like you said, very quick and simple to make. We all have those small pieces of scrap piling up. At least I do. Very little waste with a scroll saw. Oh, and thanks for the advice on the saw. I found a nice English made one for $40..00 U.S. Much appreciated! Take care my Friend!

[@acutabove_woodworkings]

Thanks for the kind words on the show Michael. I hope you like your new saw and that it works for you in the way you hope it will. Thanks for tuning in.

Good show as always Ken. I think I prefer your star shaped ones but as you say, these are easy to make so I will make a few of these too.

[@acutabove_woodworkings]

These ones are much easier on the hands John and for anyone who has arthritis, they can be the difference between being able to use a jig knob and not being able to use a jig knob. Good luck on your project and thanks for tuning in to the show.

Loved seeing the layout circles and care taken to secure the bolt head/foot in there.

Greta video and idea. This way you can make them as you need them. I hate the idea of buying “kits”, and then you never use some of them. I am a cut-n-sand person. The sander is definitely my friend. LOL. Now, for a female jig knob, I was thinking about maybe using a threaded insert with a little CA glue locking it in. I don’t think they would come out without it, but hey, one drop is all I think would needed. But your idea of using a nut is definitely cheaper. Thanks.

[@acutabove_woodworkings]

Sounds like I should produce a show on making the female knobs as well Scott. Thanks for tuning in to the show and for the kind words. It is truly appreciated.

[@TheFalconJetDriver]

Pretty giggy! Well for knobs! Very good video and a skill builder too!😁🛫

Very cool project. I love these sleeper ones -- deceptively simple and easy, but *incredibly* useful. :) As for the notifications, I really miss the mail as well. I wish they'd go back to that. :( My workaround in the meantime is to use the "Subscriptions" channel on the left side of the page (same section as Home). I actually keep a tab pinned to that in my browser, and just refresh when I have a moment. It's the best I can think of, though I work much better with push notifications (like the mail) vs. pull (like the refresh). Thanks again!

[@acutabove_woodworkings]

Glad that you liked the show John. I couldn't agree more with the notification issue. I too wish they would bring back the email notifications. I'm glad you've found a work around. For my show, it's easy to know when there's a new one. Every Tuesday and every Friday. 10am. Hope to see you there. Thanks for tuning in and taking the time to leave your comment.

[@ronb2505]

your very inspiring and makes me want to build things thanks for your great video

[@acutabove_woodworkings]

Well I hope you take that inspiration and get out to the shop and make something today Ron. There's no better way to spend the day. Thanks for tuning in and for taking the time to leave the kind words.

[@alanwasserman8176]

Thanks Ken, I always make the round knobs and sometimes they are to wide so I can't get my fat fingers around them specially when it's up close to the fence

[@acutabove_woodworkings]

I have found these oval knobs much more user friendly and much more comfortable. Thanks for tuning in Alan.

[@bobwebberkc]

Fabulous! I’ll be making some

[@acutabove_woodworkings]

Glad that you liked it Bob. Good luck on your project and thanks for tuning in to the show.

[@randyrockwell6136]

Great job Kenny! The “oval” shape is one I prefer due to arthritis…… much simpler to use 🤠

[@acutabove_woodworkings]

I agree completely Randy. These are much easier on the hands. Thanks for tuning in to the show.

[@jimcooney9019]

thanks for sharing your video great video

[@acutabove_woodworkings]

Glad that you liked it Jim. Thanks for tuning in to the show.

[@paultyler5989]

Question, the bolt was a tad bit loose before glue up. Is the bolt solid after glue up? If so epoxy for the bolt? Great videos thanks for them.

[@acutabove_woodworkings]

You can epoxy the bolt if you wish Paul but the squeeze out of the glue up, usually fills in the gaps and solidly secures the bolt in place. I hope this helps. Thanks for tuning in to the show.

[@meawayfromhome]

Hi Kenny, you've certainly got a nice knob there😯

[@acutabove_woodworkings]

Hey now. LOL. Thanks for tuning in Philip. You're on a roll lately.

[@Bilal-f5f7w]

[@markbongers9641]

Hi Kenny, if you click on the bell icon top right of the screen you get a list of all new video's of all your subscriptions

[@acutabove_woodworkings]

I wasn't aware of that Mark. They used to send out email notification which I wish they would start again. Thanks for tuning in and for chiming in with your comment.

[@markbongers9641]

@@acutabove_woodworkings Email was much easier, wish they go back to that system again.

[@markduggan3451]

I need to make one similar for my scrollsaw, so a smaller bolt.

[@acutabove_woodworkings]

I would say a much smaller bolt. Just be careful of making the knob too large as it will cause the scroll saw to vibrate. Thanks for tuning in Mark and good luck on your project.

[@raider6511]

Looks good. It's on the saw. hehe

[@acutabove_woodworkings]

Glad that you liked it. Thanks for tuning in to the show.

[@andrewknots]

I would suggest putting your template on with a nut then use a flush trim router bit…

[@acutabove_woodworkings]

There's always an alternative method Andrew and there's nothing wrong with the one you suggested. Thanks for tuning in and for chiming in with your suggestion.

[@harleywood9588]

How did you know I needed some knobs?

[@acutabove_woodworkings]

I'm just that good Harley. LOL. Thanks for tuning in and good luck with your project.
