This is just PART 1 of the Ultimate Table Saw Jigs collection that I've put together. Jigs are such an important part in the wood shop and are essential when you're looking for consistency, repeat-ability, and ease of a specific task. A good jig is one that isn't too complex but can tremendously simplify a given process, and I think I've got three here that fit this bill. The first three jigs that I'd like to show you in this video are the Thin Strip Jig, Fisher's Crosscut Sled, and the Miter Sled Attachment. If you'd like to build these jigs, I'll have plans available on my website.

[@markfligner4258]

I’m glad you include your mistakes as well - makes us feel normal!

[@AlFerguson]

Thanks for the out takes. It is comforting for a beginner to see someone with skills make mistakes

[@shellyshamsul6112]

First time viewer. No junk talk. Straight to the point. Few weeks ago I thought it would be cool to learn wood working. Started going back and forth to Harbor Freight started buying 😂 struggled for a week making perfect 90 degree. I was successfully failed all cuts. lol. Wasted lots of woods. Then I ran into a video that says make sure your 90 degree scale is 90 degree. At that point I am already in bed. Wife said where are you going? Told her I left my wallet in the garage. Went to the garage put another 90 degree against the one I was using. No kidding I saw there is huge gap. Tried that scale every corner I could find. Felt like slamming the scale on the floor. Instate went back to the bed. Wife was in deep sleep. My question is where can I buy your Jig? I don’t know or have all the tools to make. Please help. Thanks for the awesome video!

[@FishersShop]

Sorry my man, I don't sell them premade. Only the plans for you to make them.

[@adrianabshire]

Glueing your finger in the outtake made me LOL! Too funny! thanks for sharing this!

[@FishersShop]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@kylewright8512]

Easily the coolest crosscut sled I've seen yet, definitely going to make this one

[@dia35]

I absolutely love that you referenced William Ng. As I just watched his video a day or two ago but love your design. So...I'll be incorporating both into my build. Thank you.

[@travisyarbrough4033]

Being " New " to this ....... The tool racks alone are worth a like and subscribe ....... Great stuff

[@FishersShop]

Thanks, Travis. Welcome

[@m.d.d.3051]

Kudos to the man. He even has the cojones to show us he isn't perfect and actually glues himself to his projects, forgets to let the blade stop when cutting short pieces on a miter saw, and the trial and error it takes to actually perfect a design. Loved the outtakes portion ....

[@beaverx37]

I love that you keep the outtakes in the video! Sometimes I feel like I am the only one who goes through all the trouble make something and the darn motor gets in the way haha

[@FishersShop]

That was not a good moment for me. lol

[@gregghernandez2714]

That is like the 57 Thunderbird of table saw sleds. Small, sleek, and the envy of everyone! I really like the idea of the detachable front fence. Nice touch. Love the included dry humor at no additional cost. Great video, and great sled.

[@edwinrodas4534]

And also thank you for show all the imperfections you did Brilliant thank you God bless you bro

[@BryGy]

Your outtakes are worth the price of admission!

[@mikedonaldson8898]

I love the information.......and the sarcasm and humor during the video!

[@turkeycreekknives133]

Slick I’ve started doing segmented turnings and need 1/8” and 1/4” strips for detail stripes this is perfect thank for posting

[@ElizabethFranquiEsq]

Bought and built a modified version of the sled for my small cheap table saw with a T track miter slot. Got it to work smoothly after lots of milling. So happy with it. Thanks so much.

[@stefanmikenorway]

This is a great little sled Drew and it should work very well with my job site table saw. I bought the plans and I was really impressed with how thorough they are and I also greatly appreciate your accompanying comments. I almost never buy plans, but this sled was so exceptional I couldn't resist. I also like the thin rip jig. Easy to make and a brilliant design.

[@FishersShop]

Thanks so much! Glad you like it!

[@kdouglaslee]

This is my first viewing of anything from your channel, but I've got to say that you are my new favorite youtube woodworker. Very common sense, short sweet and to the point, no plugs for expensive equipment, and you do things in the manner that real, everyday woodworkers do things. You had me at "world's rustiest washer." A+

[@southerncustomcuts729]

I love your outtakes! That kind of stuff happens to me all the time. Love the sled!

[@dienekes4364]

This is freakin' AWESOME! And I LOVE the video presentation. Thanks for fast-forwarding through the build. That allows you to pack in a lot more content and prevents those of us with ADD to not get bored or run your videos at x2 speed. It's absolutely great!

[@hollayelb]

I sincerely enjoyed watching this build.... and just when I was feeling very inadequate, you added the out takes...thanks! I feel better now!!

[@GregoryDenis-mq1km]

Facial expressions is priceless... love your videos it shows even pros make mistakes

[@leannegregwakelin2428]

Liked your first video about table saw jigs looking forward to more

[@jeffberg2010]

I love your outtakes. Thanks for showing some humility.

[@christinamichelle2830]

I have to say this is probably one of the most useful and simple builds of a crosscut sled I have seen yet and I've watched around a hundred different videos show casing many types.

[@danielleonorleite1074]

I love the way that you present the project I know there’s a lot of editing you are funny and you keep us captivated thank you

[@BruceAUlrich]

Just fantastic, Drew! I think I’m the most excited about making that box joint jig. I love how you can clamp the material on the front, then lift the whole thing to index where it need to. No adjusting the material! I don’t want to build another crosscut sled, but I might have to now. ;)

[@FishersShop]

Shhhh! You're giving away spoilers to Part 2!! :) Thanks, Bruce!

[@MrRevald]

Those bloopers are so important for the less experienced of us, so we don't get to depressed. Good fun. Thanks. Aaannd.... thanks for the great inspiration you just provided. Instant subscribe.

[@ecaff9515]

Your Ultimate Sled is very one stop shopping. Excellent video and process. Thank you for sharing.

[@jonathanmoore467]

Of all the crosscut sled videos I've watched this is the most thought-out I've ever seen!

[@lizpettitt]

[@williamellis8993]

Great jigs. Love you humor and your outtakes. Adding the spring clamp to all the clamps in the western hemisphere was pure genius.

[@FishersShop]

I didn't want that spring clamp to feel left out. Had to use him.

[@dane947]

4:25 "I'm gonna pack this thing so full of features and make it as complex as I can _cause_ that's what I do!" Had me dying here, as I was just thinking that.

[@johnnyhath]

Not only have I too glued myself to material before, but I've also nailed myself to a stud when trying to frame up a wall. Feel your pain brother, but thanks for turning it to humor and sharing it with us. It always brightens my day when I see a new one of your videos pop into my subscription feed.

[@FishersShop]

Ouch! Thanks, John!

[@pawepe8308]

My first time here and I'm sure it's not last one Simple and great job Greetings and thank You

[@harrypowers9412]

I love your videos-you are the Seinfeld of woodworking videos. 😆

[@darrylbrown574]

Thanks for sharing your practical and versatile jigs. I particularly like the way you build them to mostly use materials at hand rather than using all kinds of add ons that must be purchased in order to complete the project.

[@FishersShop]

Glad you like them!

[@Mr.Mister67]

Thanks for adding the bloopers in each video. Entertaining and it encourages me to know I'm not the only one who blunders through projects sometimes. Keep up the great work!

[@akirtz8217]

Love your videos. Tutorial with humour!

[@doudeck9586]

Love your photo.

[@mrybaztastic1497]

Nice, the bloopers were a touch of class :)

[@markharris5771]

This is just getting better and better.

[@kittensausage5901]

Thank you for this well thought out jig!

[@LeatherneckGarage]

All three of those jigs are really well thought out. I have a monster crosscut sled I made from another KZbinr's plans, but I think yours will be more functional in a smaller package. Looking forward to part II.

[@FishersShop]

Thanks! Part 2 is coming very shortly. :)

[@sapelesteve]

Awesome jigs & love the out takes! LOL

[@FishersShop]

Thanks Steve!

[@raysmith5426]

Love your videos. I am learning a lot. And your dry sense of humor and straight delivery get a real chuckle out of me. Keep up the good work!

[@stefan2473z]

Dude make more vids.. They are way more educational than any of the mainstream guys I USED TO follow. Simple, easy, dumbed down enough for me to understand. Got yourself another sub

[@TinkerKing209]

Honestly the most impressive part of this video is how you screwed In that flat head screw without falling out of it

[@FishersShop]

Haha... usually I need a few takes to get it right.

[@Ray_Sellner]

I was wondering when your next video was coming out. I now see your editing was delayed because your fingers were stuck to the miter sled. Great job. I need to rebuild my cross cut sled. Thanks Drew.

[@jajablonsky]

Fantastic videos. I really enjoy the way you describe your projects and the humor you put into it keeps it all real. The outtakes show some of the funny things that happen during your builds, showing they don't always come out perfect the first time. Keep up the great work Drew.

[@jasongriffin8849]

Excellent video. I'm looking forward to seeing some more of your work.

[@GoblinsWorkshop]

"makes cutting thin strips safe consistent and easy." - Ive been looking for a diy jig like this, thank you! Subbed brother!

[@crossgrainwoodproductsltd9230]

Drew, I saw this video when you first released it a year ago and I made the "Thin-strip jig" for some box liners and I just love it! (Plus it's a Fisher original) An artist in town is now paying me an insane amount of money to cut thin-strips of hardwood for bookmarks she hands paints and burns scenes on them, and having this jig has made a world of a difference. It takes me 10-15 mins to batch out 100 of them! THANKS!!

[@FishersShop]

That is awesome!

[@commiedog425]

did toilet training your cat ever work out? i cant get my cat to listen

[@kenord3437]

Thanks for the ideas

[@robertfoster1420]

Great video! I ordered a set of the plans for Table Saw Jigs 1-3. They look like just what I have been wanting to build for my own saw at home. I showed my wife your motto on your KZbin site: "Where Simple Projects Are Made Overly Complex" and she laughed saying "Well you found a kindred spirit!" Thank you for the entertaining, well done videos and the accompanying well priced plans, they're much appreciated.

[@FishersShop]

Have fun building!

[@JohnHeisz]

Well done!

[@FishersShop]

Wow! Thanks so much, John! :)

[@johnvodopija1743]

The outtakes are hilarious. I’ve lost count how many times I’ve superglued my fingers to something 😂 The jigs are next level particularly the mitre adding to the crosscut 👍😎🇦🇺

[@dtwistrewind7361]

I love the use of the washer as a level guide when drilling.

[@gabesmith2725]

Love the miter attachment!

[@katzmosestools]

Great work Drew!!!

[@FishersShop]

Thank you, sir!

[@TheNewports]

I think the best part was when he glued his finger to the board. This way he can't lose it.

[@GrahamOrm]

Great video dude, thanks. You know I'd do more woodwork if my clamps made that sound.

I love your tool storage. Very nice

[@joeoliver9043]

I about lost it when you called William Ng a “rocket surgeon!” Great video. I’ll be making the sled this spring when my shop thaws out!

[@FishersShop]

Haha... he's definitely a genius. :)

[@abrannan]

As soon as he said "Rocket Surgeon", I knew he was talking about Ng.

[@lehcim777]

Isn't it sad we need to wait until nice weather to work in our shop? I'm in the same boat.

[@prouddaddyme6989]

Heater people. 😃😃😃

[@Christophernaz]

@@lehcim777 Living in Arizona its the opposite for me. When its 114° mid day or 100° at 9am its at least 140° or higher in the shop. I love the winters and wish they'd last a little longer. Loved this vid, as my first introduction to your shop I instantly Subscribed to your channel. Thanks for putting these together for us! A new fan...

[@PerrynBecky]

Wow, the bloopers at the end let me know that I'm not the only one who gets the gremlins conspiring against me when I'm doing a project of some sort. lol Nice jigs.

[@michaelhajszan1793]

Those gremlins are also conspiring against me. In every Corner of my toolshop there is one sitting and waiting for doing some sh$%@ to me 😀

[@catherinedarsey3529]

I love your videos. You make it so much fun to learn new techniques.

[@RandyRasmussen]

Outtakes are priceless.

[@aaronfenwick7704]

New to the channel. I had just liked and subbed and then the “bloopers “ come on. It’s like dessert at the end of an already great meal. The speed of the video was nice and the commentary great. Definitely going to check out more.

[@robertalbertsen9641]

Thank you for showing that I’m not the only dummy to glue himself to a project.🙂

[@FishersShop]

Haha, happens more often than I'd like to admit.

[@markburton8680]

Amazing what you can do when you have every tool in the book!

[@harrivirtanen1349]

Aaah, these are so nice!

[@thaddeushopkins4256]

Great video Drew. We must live in the same hemisphere, because I was wondering where my clamps went for a bit there.

[@FishersShop]

Haha, yup.. needed to borrow them just for a bit.

[@meatslayer5301]

The first Jig would be really useful for me, but I can’t build it because I’ve only got new and shiny washers😕

[@AlanAnsell]

loving the out takes brill

[@codysnell]

Great features!

[@adamwhite1936]

Is that what we call a "finger board attachment"? Love it!! Nice build too.

[@doughaber3330]

Man, you rock! You blew my mind! Been a William Ng fan for years. Just got some Baltic bitch ply for my first sled. Want to build a hybrid of Williams and Nick Ferry's sled. Then I found your video. Wrecked my world! Damn it! Lol! Great build! Will be looking at this more. Side note, i used Williams method to square my miters saw to .0009. so im in the club now. Fantastic video!

[@tomkennish3630]

I've been having a tough time for years juggling my KZbin training time between my woodworking, quips and puns. Finally, I've found the channel. You, sir, have earned yourself a new subscriber.

[@crmcbrideww]

Between the beautiful design and the incredible functionality. You were making me feel insecure because I can't come up with cool stuff like this. But then you glued your hand to the sled and made me feel slightly better. I LOVE THIS CHANNEL!!

[@FishersShop]

Haha, leave it to me to glue my fingers to the project. :)

[@giantsfan1925]

awesome jigs, drew. i saw what you did for your neighbor's basement wall with the vinyl on insta, looks awesome.💯👍

I loved your video, your are funny and you know how. Congratulations this was a great video to see thousands of times hehe. Sorry but I´ll make just like you hehehe! Good work and God bless you.

Great content with seriously funny out takes! I can’t wait to see the next one.

You're very welcome! Thanks for watching

[@DanielDunlap]

Your outtakes are always my favorite part of the video 😂

[@DanielDunlap]

Outtakes...

[@kdmerkle]

So, is the washer on the drill bit a trick for keeping the bit level? That's genius.

[@FishersShop]

You got it.

[@johnshort1536]

Always informative and well presented, keep em coming.

Finally someone with a sense of humor! Suscribe

[@jasonoliver3548]

I enjoyed the video and learned a few things to help me improve my crosscut sled... But the reason I subbed was because of your "infuriating" walnut piece

[@samboslc]

Beautiful jigs sir. I made a thin strip jig from an article in Wood Magazine many years ago and it worked wonderfully. Really like yours. Will be watching more even if I can't do the work anymore due to health. Thank you for your presentation of this aspect of woodworking.

[@joliekarno]

LOVE these!

[@billybobjoe2818]

you do nice work, I appreciate that you get right to it - but some of the assembly instructions are too quick for a dud like me, so I'd have to watch, pause, back-up,watch, pause, make a note - continue, rewind etc etc . . . thanks

[@ljgault]

When you take the front fence off how does it hold together? The back fence is enough to keep it from splitting at the kerf? I really like your video's and am thinking of building this sled.

[@FishersShop]

Yes it's enough to hold it. Plus the blade guard is also glued in over the kerf so that holds it as well.

[@michaelschwenk8434]

You have the claim to build the best crosscut sled with the most functions. That's good, because only the best is good enough. I have another suggestion for an extension: A dust collector at the lower end where the saw blade protection is located. This could be made hollow with a side channel to the right side of the sled, where a vacuum cleaner could be connected. Many greetings from Germany.

[@theophilussampson618]

Cool set up, cant wait to make one

[@grahamwyatt8766]

Bought the plans and finished the sled during the weekend. Really happy with the result. Recommend

[@FishersShop]

Cool! Glad you liked it
