Jig building is the perfect skill builder as well. Tip: Remove all hardware from junk furniture before throwing to the trash. Youll get inserts, bolts, hinges, etc. it will save alot of money and youll build a variety of hardware to use for jigs.

I keep a small stock of high density plastic (same material used in cutting boards). That’s what I use for my sled runners and sliding surfaces. Hasn’t failed me yet, doesn’t change with conditions in the shop and it’s cheaper than getting a new runner for every jig.

This way I can keep the measuring tape, pencil, square, push stick etc neatly and securely at hand. Thanks I enjoyed your video.

I need to look at these in my depth. I have a huge, cast iron Rigid table saw. My boyfriend bought it for me 5 years ago from a customer of his but never used it. Still in the box. I had kick back maybe 30 years ago and it gave me a fear of table saws. It took me three years to put it together. And it’s been another two years and I haven’t even turned it on. This is just what I need. Especially the sled jig. I think that will be the first one I will build for this saw. I did make the jig like you showed as a track jig for my circular saw. I inherited all my Dads saws on top of mine so I better get busy. Band saws, miter saws, “Companion Saw”, Jig Saw, Scroll saw, you name it. I will be sure to check out your channel. Thank you so much for sharing.

Finally got off my ass and built an auxiliary fence out of some Formica, based on your design, with the T-track for attaching vertical featherboards and the tool storage in the middle. Works amazing and I like the fact that I can write on it in pencil if I need to get something down quickly, and then just wipe it off when it's no longer needed. Next step is to add an L fence, very cool and handy idea for jointing boards. Great stuff man!

Best educational video I have seen. I have 3 lengths of "track saw jigs". 96" to rip plywood, 60" to crosscut plywood, and 43" to crosscut doors. I use a left blade Flex rear handle circular saw with a built in dust nozzle.. I figured out how to put an 8 1/4 " blade on it for deeper cuts. The dust nozzle solves the problem of getting covered in sawdust when you are breaking down sheet goods. I recently made another set of the "track saw" jigs for my newest Flex circular saw - the 6 1/2" in line belt driven left blade saw with a built dust nozzle. This saw is quieter (belt driven) and because of the in line design has no motor overhang to interfere with clamps holding the jig. I put a 7 1/4" blade on that saw to give it a deeper cut. (Bosch makes a similar saw that also is designed with no motor overhang) I keep the FLEX IN-LINE saw in the truck and take the guides with me to give me near table saw accuracy on the job site. I also have a 96" modified Moravian portable workbench that makes life easier. Thanks again for the excellent video. I just discovered your channel. Now I can refer other folks to this channel. Just what I have been looking for. WOW - GREAT CONTENT !

I've been watching a lot of jig building videos, I'd say this is the best. I think there was 1 jig in another video I want to keep in mind when I build mine. I think he built a small rip cut jig. Somebody I watched used plastic runners, and I like that idea as well. I love the vertical jig idea! Nobody has touched the, drawing a blank on the word, but the bar you built the vertical part over. There was also a video where the guy extended the bar with the tape measure built in with a long one, giving him a 5' wide spot to clamp the stopper bar, the thing you built the vertical jigs on. He had a weld shop make it for $200 instead of buying the exact part for his saw for a whole lot more. But I'm starting in a fairly large 1 stall garage, I say fairly large because there's a fair amount of room around a vehicle for being a 1 stall garage.

I have 2 table saw sleds. My original big one and smaller one with ~12" wide capacity. The small one uses a spare miter gauge for my saw that is permanently attached to the base for1 runner. I have T-track about 4" from the fence to use as stock hold downs. My fence installation varied from what most people advocate. My base has rip fence side square to the back of base. I attached miter gauge to the base and put the rip fence up to the base side to ensure sled would run square. I added the sled fence to the back of the base instead of to the top. I had made a relief cut to the fence to prevent dust buildup at the fence. This fence has remained true for a couple of years now.

I ventured into building things years ago and then discovered woodworkers on YT and I haven’t looked back. I started first with a circular saw (bad move on my part and experienced kickback till I figured out why/prior to YT discovery) then a mitre saw but I agree a tablesaw is essential! You can do soooo much more with a tablesaw that you can’t do with a mitre saw. It takes educating yourself on how and how not to use it either with help or like in my situation YT and then experience. It actually took me a long time to feel comfortable using the tablesaw, in fact I avoided any project that required me to use it. Then I finally overcame my fear by making my own interpretation of Michael Alms Alpine pattern using solid hardwood species (hickory which is very hard to tool, maple, alder, mahogany and purple/marbled poplar) that I glued in an ombré effect into cheese boards which turned out really well and it forced me to get over my fear. I had a couple scares but it taught me how to act and I’d watched so much educational content I was able to safely get out of the situation. Since then it’s become my favorite tool with a very healthy respect!!! Routers aren’t my favorite but I also heavily use at times.

You HAVE TO remember which side of the material being cut you measured or you will come up short the amount of the thickness of the blade you are using. Don't ask how I know this so well.

Enjoyed your video. For your router circle cutting jigs. One tip - if you use a guide bushing with your routers, one jig will be interchangeable between any of your routers that will accept guide bushings. Also, the router will pivot to stay straight in line with no tangling of cords. I usually use a 3/4” guide bushing with a spiral solid carbide up cut bit. No need to have separate jigs with holes to match the holes in the different router bases. Easy Peasy. John Jensen from British Columbia

I agree that the table saw is the most versatile power tool (beyond, say, a basic drill-and-circular saw setup), and I appreciate all the jigs in this video you highlight. However, in my personal "woodworking journey" I bought and thoroughly used a miter saw years before I could justify a table saw. Miter cuts, as you mention, are specialty crosscut tools; any kind of table saw sled reproduces there what the miter saw does with ease. And, for both me and for what I figure is the average DIYer--which I'm defining as a homeowner who bumps into woodworking more by frugal necessity than by choice (as in, a chosen hobby, or to itch the scratch of a bucket-list dream of crafting one's own furniture, etc.), this is a natural progression. My first real heavy use of a miter saw, and for which I purpose-bought one, was to cut laminate for re-flooring my entire house. Much easier to move my miter from room to room than to run down to the garage for every cut. (Of course, I realize that a jobsite table saw would have had the same portability, but most jobsites are more expensive than most miter saws.) From there, it was too easy to move from laminate to repairing or replacing trim. Shoot, a well-dialed in miter is so convenient that I use it for "rips" on smaller stock (

I have a half sled that is about 18×18 and has a piece of 3/4 oak as the guide. I use it all the time. Light enough to hang on a hook and retrieve with one hand. The only "fancy" feature is a 1/8 in bevel at the bottom inside of the guide. This keeps sawdust from holding the workpiece off the fence.

You've got some great jigs featured here--I have to get busy and build mine. I also generally agree with your premise, that someone who *intends* to just plunge into woodworking would do well to start small (cheap) and only add tools as budget allows and proven experience makes worthwhile. That said, I cannot but contrast your tool (non)recommendations with my own experience. Spoiler and caveat: my experience. I would say I'm not so much a woodworker but a DIYer who drifts occasionally into something approaching the woodworker space. That is, I got into this b/c I started adult life poor and couldn't afford to pay people to do things like repaneling my bathroom, etc. My (power) tool purchases then took approximately the following arc: drill (plug-in, b/c far cheaper than battery powered, and still today generally more powerful), circular saw (way faster than hand saws; my original circular saw finally gave up the ghost after nearly 30 years of use, RIP); jig saw (most people would agree this is perhaps the most versatile power saw one can buy; and they're cheap to boot); miter saw (priceless to haul around installing flooring and trim all over the house--can't do that easily even with a jobsite table saw); table saw (when I simply needed more precision than I could get with my table saw). Only in the last year have I added a jointer and planer (which opened up a whole new world of possibilities for me, enabling me to do "additive manufacturing" i.e. glueups in a way better way than ever before). So, I think I'm roughly following the spirit of your video here--start small, start cheap, add on as it makes sense. But my sequence was just way different, because my needs (and time, and budget) was particular to me.

I’ve got a fairly small shop, no room for a miter saw or a jointer. Room enough for my jobsite saw and thickness planer… that’s it baby! So making jigs for the saw is the name of the game. I’ve made a cross cut and a straight edge jig and honestly, those two are all this fella needs for now. I do plan on an extended fence soon though. The jobsite one is too short and came with a little bit of a bow in it. No bueno! Probably gonna try and make a dedicated jointing fence too. Never seen it done so it’s just an idea for now. Kinda how Stumpy Jim showed using a saw as a jointer, but that idea expanded to an entire fence. Might work, I dunno 🤷‍♂️

I like the idea of #1 the saw jig, but I find even when making cabinets only 15% of my time is cutting down large sheets. Therefore I just use a inexpensive (cheap) clamping straight edge which is light and easy to store.

I make my circ caw jig left and right handed in one. Occasionally I need to run the circ saw on the "wrong" side because of mid construction constraints. The blade is still being pushed forward, just left handed instead of right handed.

Really like your smaller, more versatile cross cut sled. Are there any plans? Did you use a router and circle jig to make the arced trench in the sled and how did you work out what radius to use. Cheers from Australia 🇦🇺

@MWAWoodworks 6 ай бұрын
No plans but I could probably draw some. It's just a piece of plywood with an arc cut in it and a metal runner and fence attachment. Yes I made the arc with a circle jig!

Really good compilation and explanation of your jigs in one place. I've probably watched all of your videos, so I've seen most of them before. I don't remember seeing the miter sled before. Did you make a video on it? I noticed that it's not in any of your plans. Interested in how you attached the pivoting end of the extrusion. Before I got a track saw, I made a couple of the straight jigs (one for 4' and one for 8'). I also made the 4' wider so that my router would run down the opposite side for cutting dados. - Chris

I never made a video of the miter sled because it's kind of basic. Just a piece of plywood with an aluminum fence and an arc. The fence pivots on a bolt and the other side slides with a bolt. Pretty simple. I made it maybe 8 years ago so no "video" or plans were made because I wasn't doing videos back then but maybe I can walk through it more closely in a follow up.
