Miter Jack! The Magnum Opus of woodworking Jigs

[@greenleaf5810]

I’ve watched countless hundreds, maybe thousands, of build videos on KZbin, and this is the ONLY one deserving of the epic soundtrack overlaid onto the final assembly. I’m awestruck that your wide range of tools is out-matched by your skills and imagination. The sheer number of high quality purpose-built jigs in your shop is incredible. Something as simple as your chisel work is worthy of its own video, but here in this video we are treated to an extraordinary display of craftsmanship and artistry. Thank you.

[@TheWoodCrafter1]

Man! that is so sweet indeed, I am so grateful! I don’t know what to say more. I owe you a big hug. All due respect to you sir, thank you 🤝🌹

[@kent5400]

I have a couple of vintage tools with wooden threads like this. I have noticed that they often have part of the threads chipped off over time. These missing chunks do not make the tools unusable but they do make them look "less pretty". It took me a while to realize it, but this appears to be caused by screwing the threaded rod down tightly before storage. If that is done in the dry season, seasonal expansion due to changes in moisture content will put a prolonged force on the threads and shear some pieces off. Loosening the threaded rod (clamp in this case) for storage will prevent this and ensure that the tool remains in pristine condition. The indoor humidity swings over 40% where I live (Canada), and my mitre jack came from England with this type of damage already on it. Your location probably has less seasonal shrinkage or expansion, but still... This is a very nice build, thank you.

[@TheWoodCrafter1]

That is a great tip Kent, thank you for sharing this, I really appreciate it! In Jordan it is very dry in summer but humid in winter! (70 - 80 )I will make sure to loosen that thread and leave it like that when not in use 👍🤝

Catok tradisional mantap

[@stephenbull8962]

I agree with the other complimentary comments, superb craftsmanship. As I watched I was sure that I could do that (not as accurately) but then you got to the Dado set and I was knackered. Here in the U.K. we are not responsible enough to be allowed to own such demonic devices. To the extent that table saws must be made with a shaft too short for one to be fitted, that’s to prevent us buying a sneaky dado set from the States. One thing I’m pleased about, it’s taken the western world hundreds of years to realise that Japanese style pull saws are more accurate than our conventional push saws😂 You are a true craftsman

[@TheWoodCrafter1]

Thanks Stephen, I read that dados are no no in Europe, seems that they don’t meet the safety standards there, as if they were abused then the damage that they can cause is formidable! Still a decent router bit can do almost the same but maybe slower, we can always find another way to skin the cat aren’t we 😀, Japanese saws are great that is so true 👌
