One of the most appropriately named woodworking channels around!

[@lincolndickerson1293]

100% agreed!

[@clickster1883]

Right?! 💯 concur

[@drukilkelly8599]

holy crap best unspoken tip ever - reverse the mitre gauge for wide material on crosscuts ! needed this!!!

[@andyfarmer759]

With a shop as small as mine, this will be a space saver. Thank you for sharing

[@barry.w.christie]

Yet another jig with multiple uses and simple to make ... I especially like that you've used parts of your other jig with this jig ... fantastic!

[@markkoons7488]

That's a very satisfying closing shot, the angled bridle joint sliding into place.

[@BretClements]

Another impressive video, Jody! You have really been knocking them out of the park since returning form your extended hiatus! Keep 'em comin' brother!

[@skigglystars9525]

I'm right there with the rest of the viewers. This is a great concept that you just brought to life.

[@silenthill5794]

I haven't even watched all of this video yet but let me just say this. I subscribe to a lot of woodworking YT channels, and this is the only channel where when I see "The Greatest..'insert tip here' ever"...I actually believe it before I even click on it. And fyi, use the Paul Sellers "knife wall" for the shoulder lines and you wont need a backer to prevent tearout....

[@mathewcampbell8479]

Wow, that bridle joint was awesome. There's usually a whole day doing that...

[@stephendonathan6782]

This is a great jig! Any jig that has multiple purposes is a winner to me. Thank you for sharing! Take care and GOD BLESS 🙏!

[@andrewbrown8148]

Looks like the next jig that I'll be building for my table saw. Thanks Jody~!

[@antonoat]

That is a superb design, as always you deliver , great job!👏👍😀

[@loustoneberger8921]

Good morning always good to wake up to see you have posted!! You make the best jigs hands down!!! Thanks for sharing

[@hassanal-mosawi4235]

Thanks for sharing those tips and the make!

[@cyrilnorrie8450]

This is a great jig! I never thought of using a jig like this to make spline joints on picture frames and the like. You have come up with a way to make a tenoning jig much more versatile and quick to adjust to angles, etc. Thanks for sharing this idea.

[@paulpohopien709]

Jeeze what a simple design and so flexible. This will be made in my shop this weekend for sure. Many thanks!!

[@glencrandall7051]

Well done. Like the dovetail clamps.👍👍Thank you for sharing. Have a great day and stay safe.🙂🙂

[@makermark67]

Great concept on the jig. Lots of maneuverability and options, love it! And the "you can make things without math" theme is wonderful, as always,🤣🤣 . Great video.

[@ms22401gal]

Those Microjig dovetail clamp systems are great. Wow, those were some tight angled saddle joints. Nice! It’s on my list o’ things to make this jig and to add dovetail grooves to my workbench.

[@KyleBruns]

That is a great design. I've been looking at redoing my tenoning jig and I've found the design I'm going to use. Thank you!

[@hjboots]

Great way to set up for angles and being able to put in splines. Thank you for sharing it`s a great lesson learned.

[@kiwdwks]

Thank you. I picked up the Matchfit Starter pack. Looking forward to making use of it like your awesome jig!

[@stevesiefken6432]

Great jig!

[@kiwdwks]

Your jigs are awesome...thank you!

[@vjaneczko]

Perhaps the greatest indeed! Keep 'em coming.

[@normanbott]

Simple, elegant and versatile. I'm going to make one, I do like the use of dovetail slots, got some spare 18mm MDF around too.

[@tomt9543]

Another home run!! Love your channel!

[@Dandroid61]

Brilliant as usual!

Excellent idea! Thanks for sharing.

[@jtimonere]

This is great. Thanks for the inspiration.

[@rudyantheus8171]

Fantastic work

[@GF-ph1jp]

Great video. I especially appreciate how you refrain from always grabbing the tape measure (or other measuring device) to determine a needed dimension (e.g. the width of your saw fence) and then transferring that dimension to your work piece. As you have explained in other videos, this usually is easier and quicker and ends with a more accurate final result. Your videos have almost always provided some new information to me that has helped me in my work. Thank you.

[@skigglystars9525]

Amen to those words!

[@InspireWoodcraft]

@GF 937 That's awesome! And thank you for the kind words!

[@jeremywillson2356]

Yes, measure nunce, cut once. :)

[@johnkendrick8008]

Another great knowledge bomb! Thanks as always

[@remlok2655]

Great jig! Thanks for sharing 👍

[@MCsCreations]

Really brilliant jig, dude! Fantastic work! 😃 Thanks a bunch for the tip! Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

[@ehRalph]

Simple flexible and effective!! I’ve been planning to build a splint jig, this one looks great!! Also I like your comment on less stuff=more space

[@PHIL_S]

Smart and easy - one of those applies to me!

[@fredparsons5134]

Wow! Nice!

[@petec6690]

Nice! Just nice.

[@jaredgrant5457]

Great video brother

[@damonmoran9462]

Nice jig! I built a quick and dirty version to make some angled bridle joints, and screwed a toggle clamp into the backer piece so I didn’t have to deal with the clamps.

[@thesplinteredfinger]

Nice, works better than my miter jig!

[@hansangb]

Nice! Love how fast you dialed in the 45 deg. I have some ideas on incorporating parf guide dog holes to do what you just did. But I want to see if I can put the clamp handles on the other side of the board. Great video

[@fredpierce6097]

Very cool…… I’m going to make this jig! The metal jigs you buy from Grizzly and Delta have limited range of adjustment across the table saw top whereas a table saw fence has tremendous range.

[@chrisgriffith1573]

Sweet jig. I like- now to get that crappy bit loose from my router that has been in there for ten years...

[@RGRGJKK]

Pura vida mi amigo great design I want to use one this in my shop.what are the name or brand of your clamps? Thanks pura vida guys

[@rextored]

Hi. Thanks for this vid. How do you keep the piece from being too tight to slide on the fence? I used 1 strip of masking tape on the fence but it was too loose and too tight without it. I think it's the screws that pull it too tight and also why it throws me out of square. How do you do to keep it just tight enough?

[@InspireWoodcraft]

@Alvaro Burbano It might depend on the material that you're using, but the screws shouldn't compress the material enough to make a significant difference. I don't like using the masking tape trick with stuff like this just for that reason. That being said, if it's too loose, you can just take it apart and trim down the top pieces one very small amount at a time until it fits.

[@korekapik]

Pertama kali lihat miter gauge dipakai terbalik.😮

[@howardsmith5474]

Why have I never before seen someone use their miter gauge backwards?!? 🤯

[@rextored]

Thanks a ton again for your videos. I find your tips the most useful. Can I ask, what to do if the tall piece is out of square? It was square but when I put the screws it went out of square.

[@InspireWoodcraft]

@Alvaro Burbano Could be a few different things. Like something as simple as the cuts not being close enough to 90 degrees. As long as it rides the fence smoothly though, you should be able to adjust the fence itself to 90 with the tenoning jig on it. Just don't forget to set it back when you're done!

[@5055hunter]

Great jig! Any thoughts on how to adapt this for use with my Incra TS-LS fence? With the T shape of the fence, I can't slide the jig if there is a back side. Would it be stable enough without that?

[@InspireWoodcraft]

@5055hunter I don't have experience with that setup, but I wouldn't think it would be stable enough, simply because of the height. If I'm not mistaken, that fence has accessory tracks on top though, right? Maybe you could incorporate those somehow.

[@5055hunter]

@@InspireWoodcraft yes! forgot about that. Add a couple of t-bolts to the jig to give it stability. I think the height would still have to come down some, but might be doable.

[@richh7539]

What blade are you using to cut? Is it the flat top ripping blade?

[@InspireWoodcraft]

@Rich H For the MDF I used a triple chip grind, 84-tooth Diablo blade. For the joinery I use a Forrest Woodworker II #1 Grind, which is a flat grind joinery blade. Interestingly enough I used the flat top grind for MDF yesterday and it worked great there as well.

[@ms22401gal]

I’m not even a minute into this and am watching you with your fingers mere inches away from that whirling blade w/ a GRRipper sitting right there in the camera front unused. What are you thinking, man? Seriously, use the safety tools you have, if for no other reason than to be a good role model for people watching this stuff. I know you’re good at this but accidents happen. That’s why they’re called accidents. Btw, I am a subscriber. That just freaked me out. Ok, back to your video. ✌️

[@InspireWoodcraft]

@ms22401gal I use the GRRipper all the time. Generally speaking, table saw rip cut are perfectly acceptable and safe with your hands within four or so inches from the blade. Especially when working with a straight, flat, stable material such as MDF and using a riving knife. As for the cuts with the miter gauge, the GRRipper wouldn't have done me any good there as it can't be used in that situation. A good rule of thumb is anything outside of the throat plate on the fence side is safe, or the same distance on the opposite side, which I was on both accounts. Another good rule of thumb is that if you don't think it's safe for YOU to do, don't do it.

Not your fingers…not your problem.
