The ONLY Juice Groove Jig YOU NEED! - With Plans

Hey Woodworkers! Continuing on with the "Jig Series" we made a Juice Groove Jig today! I've seen this jig used before and decided to make it due to its universal design that allows it to adjust to any size cutting board you make!
I didn't quite get this jig right on my first try; however, I wasn't using plans or the correct hardware. Fortunately for you all, I took the time to publish a cut list so that you could achieve success on your first attempt! Find the plans here: drive.google.com/file/d/1-vp2...
Hardware Required:
1x: 2' x 4" 3/4" Plywood
1x: 4' x 4" x 3/4" Pine or Poplar
4x: 1/4 - 20 threaded inserts
4x: 1/4 - 20 Knobs
1 1/4" Brad Nails

1/4" Straight Router Bit

I love how you deal with mistakes, most of what i know was learned through trial & error :)

[@FiveOClockWoodshop]

Thank you! Your words are surely appreciated! I don’t always just like to show the success story, with any good project there will be mistakes and lessons learned.

[@mrstephentgarrett]

A tip I found when threading directly into wood is to soak the threads you cut with thin CA glue to strengthen the wooden threads

[@FiveOClockWoodshop]

Honestly for how often I see CA glue around Woodtok or KZbin, I should just get some for the shop. Great tip, thank you for the advice!

[@hardshellwoodworks]

Great explanation and walk-through as you built it! Much appreciated. This was a huge help.

[@cesuich]

I'm new to woodworking. This video was of tremendous help to me. Thanks a million!

[@FiveOClockWoodshop]

Thank you for the support!

I had made a juice grove jig, it turned out to be a very good tool. i have made several sales. i added an extra corner well for extra juice that may accumulate. i had a very good response from customers.

[@FiveOClockWoodshop]

I'm going to look into doing that as well! Any advise for adding the corner bit?

[@jeanchance9334]

The juice groove is going to be my next project. Thanks for the video.. I downloaded you plans

[@FiveOClockWoodshop]

Thank you for letting me know! I appreciate the support and glad you were able to download the plans!

tried to make one with plywood also and had the dame issue so i made them out of white pine, dimensioned it and put the threaded insets in. works much better now

[@FiveOClockWoodshop]

Yeah I’m not sure why I expected the plywood to hold the threaded inserts but it sure was a pain to find out that it wouldn’t work! Glad it worked out for us both in the end.

[@jimrosson6702]

Great try

[@tremont2k]

Hey man, thanks for publishing the plans, would like to make a jig like yours, but the link to the google drive isnt working

[@FiveOClockWoodshop]

I’ll have to look into that link, thanks so much for letting me know! For a quick fix, email me at “[e-mail]” and I can send a set of the plans!

[@paulsavoia2282]

What was the length of the slots?

[@FiveOClockWoodshop]

9” on the short rails and 12” on the longer rails. But it’s user’s preference on the length. I figured I would not make a board smaller than those lengths would allow.
