I use square corner jigs in box making ...but i make them with double sided tape so ..a) i get the clearance gap...b) dont ruin the wood with screws c) can easily be reset if they get out of square....I also use a square block for the inside corner to sandwich the work.

[@TheMindverse]

Great stuff, though I wish there was more explanation for the beginner as to why you'd want to make that cut in the corner of a frame with your table saw jig. What's it for?

[@drampadreg1386]

Your centering jig is something that I will end up using all the time for splitting wood and making thinner planks, it's an amazing yet simple and cheap jig that got me to push that subscribe button right away, so thanks for saving me time and a little frustration. Now I can save the measure twice and cut once for other things. I'm looking forward to watching your other videos.

[@knecht105]

Thanks for watching!

[@johnshaver8761]

I can never get enough of the techniques of woodworking. I am going to make the centering and spline jigs for sure. Always appreciate how you explain and demonstrate your videos!! More of the same !! Thank you.

[@knecht105]

john shaver Thanks John, yes it's amazing when you look around what others are doing that often can be adapted to ones own shop

[@Sebastopolmark]

As life goes, many times, the simpler things are the best. Those are three jigs that anybody can/should make and have at the ready. Good job and thanks

[@knecht105]

Sebastopolmark I agree, I seem to be working a keeping thing simpler too

[@robira1313]

Thank you, Colin, for your clarity and easy to understand explanations for us newbies.

[@knecht105]

Rob I Thanks Rob for taking a moment to give feedback

[@jboxy]

He's so good at making things make sense, this is SO awesome

[@tomm3082]

Love the sandpaper trick. And if you spray both the wood and paper, when the paper is worn out, it will come off and you can easily replace it.This is actually a trick that my wife first told me about

[@pershop4950]

Spray with what?

[@davidmarzolino7159]

Per Shop spray contact cement. The cheaper ones actually work better for this application.

[@BackyardWoodworking]

Jigs are like clamps you always need more of them. Good info Colin. Thanks

[@WigWagWorkshop]

Tell me about it, every time I am at the store, I always pick up a couple new clamps LOL

[@knecht105]

Backyard Woodworking Thanks Roland ... yep, you are right !!

[@irreduciblerascal]

Thank you Colin...Some really good ideas shared. Food for thought.

[@knecht105]

itsgoodbeingme Thanks for the comment, appreciate it

[@danielholtxxl4936]

Jigs are a carpenters best friend.

[@hardnox6655]

Good stuff Colin. My problem is storing all my jigs for special projects then finding or digging them out again. LOL. I've made a habit of finishing my jigs so they don't warp or swell... or at least as much with the changes in humidity. A bit of beeswax & linseed oil mix usually does the trick.

[@knecht105]

Hardnox Oh boy .. do I agree with that, storing jigs for me is a real problem. Great tip on the beeswax ... easy, not messy, I will try that .. thanks buddy, great idea

[@Ticky66MN]

Great video with very useful jigs. Thanks Colin!

[@knecht105]

Ticky66MN Thanks Ticky

[@big1finger]

Very nice collection of jigs, I bet you could do 5 videos about jigs to make work easier. For those who have a 5 inch random orbit sander with 8 holes, try this for alignment of your discs. Take a 3/8 inch dowel and cut yourself 3 pieces about 1/2 in long and keep with sander. When you change a disc simply put the 3 dowels in one of the holes on the sander and slip the disc over the dowels to align the duct collection holes every time. Just remember to keep the 3 small dowels,

[@knecht105]

Gary Finger Thanks for sharing this Gary ... excellent info .. thanks buddy

[@big1finger]

Go right ahead and sign up, but I have heard from many on KZbin that this is a scam

[@knecht105]

Gary Finger this got reported and pulled Gary, yes you are correct, it is a scam

[@Delmar829]

Really likes the centering jig. It is a great idea. Thank You

[@knecht105]

Delmar829 It is a great little jig, I wish I had thought of it ... but like most jigs we "borrow" from one another and share among ourselves :)

[@Trees2Pens]

Great instant center jig, Thanks.

[@knecht105]

Trees2Pens Yes, that is a real handy one

[@DannyWalker1949]

Dang, where in the world do you THINK-UP all these GREAT THING's to make for your tool's? And, they are so neat and work so well also. I'm learning so much here on your channel👍🏼

[@guyferier2947]

Bonjour, je suis un Belgique et je parle le français, mais vos Tutos sont tellement intéressant et bien expliqué que je suis heureux de vous dire Merci pour toutes les idées géniales que vous nous montré (Traduction Google) Hello, I am a Belgium and I speak French, but your tutorials are so interesting and well explained that I am happy to say thank you for all the great ideas that we showed you

[@dustyleblanc6323]

Thanks for sharing. Very useful jigs.

[@knecht105]

Dusty LeBlanc Thanks Dusty ... appreciate your comments

[@stevewhiteside3102]

Hi Colin, I like to make jigs and spend time making then professional, however like yourself I suffer seasons of very damp weather (UK) so wondered what you would recommend to treat them to prevent the damp getting at them. Currently I use finishing wax.

[@georgeservice282]

These jigs are good man thanks.

[@erniefoote8507]

I’ve been turning bowls and after a fashion (over two years) I notice that my chucks have a wobble when turning the inside. I set up my wood with a face plate and turn the outside to a solid rotation, but when I turn it around and put it on a chuck (I have two Wens and a Vinvox) all of which wobble even when using a live tail. I then must re-turn the outside until the play is nearly gone. When the chuck is placed on the head stock, there is right much play in the connection, but the lathe connection turns solid without any variation. Do I need to buy new chucks or is there an adjustment to be made? Any helpful information would be great and thank you. Ernie

[@IronMountainDefense]

Great video Colin. I really like the simplicity of how you explain things...

[@knecht105]

Jeff Sinason Thanks Jeff, appreciate the feedback

[@bradturbo44]

Thank you for all the tips john.

[@knecht105]

bradturbo44 No prob ... thanks for commenting Brad

[@mc4kvb]

So much info. I follow you all the time. Thank you showing us these tips and jigs.

[@kaijinc3639]

This man is incredibly smart!

[@KSFWG]

I always like to see what jigs other woodworkers are using to make their work easier, greater accuracy, or to make repetitive cuts. Usually the simpler they the better they are. You don't always need 42 gears and 13 screw advances to get the job done quickly and accurately. Thanks for the video!

[@knecht105]

KSFWG Great comment, I like how you think :)

[@KSFWG]

WoodWorkWeb Thank you for the compliment ! :)

[@donepearce]

The centre line marker. Make one with a 2:1 length ratio instead and it is perfect for marking mortise and tenon joints. Mark both ways and you get perfect thirds across the wood, whatever the thickness.

[@timk282]

Another great vid for neophytes like me!

[@knecht105]

Tim K Thanks Tim .. appreciate it

[@zumbazumba1]

Nice video Colin but out of curiosity what is last jig used for? Also for sanding paper jig ,people like to use old glass(mostly people sharpen plain irons and chisle),peace of granite or plexiglass if its flat. Anything that is flat will work.Its also great for sanding as you mentioned ,not just for chisel sharpening. One tip with sand paper-everything can be used as sand paper holder.Water pipes make great round files,i even used it for metal working with water sand paper since i didn't had round file at hand.If you can find profile that fits your needs ,wrap a sandpaper around it and go for it.

[@knecht105]

zumbazumba1 The last jig is used for cutting thin slices of wood on the table saw, the one I cut was still a bit too thin, but hopefully everyone got the idea how it worked. Thanks for the other tips ... always good to hear what others are doing

[@brianjorch]

Great video! the center finder is just ingenious, thanks for sharing!

[@knecht105]

Brian Kristensen Thanks Brian, I wish I could take credit for it ... it works well though and I use it a lot

[@brianjorch]

:-)

[@oldman719]

Very informative. Thank you.

[@knecht105]

oldman719 Thanks for taking the time ...

[@sih9696]

Great jigs! Love them all!! Thanks for sharing!!!

[@knecht105]

Thanks for watching!

[@HappyNatureChannel]

awesome antique hand tools! cast iron is great! if you take care of it, itll take care of you!

[@manwithbeers]

I like the intro! Will be making a centering jig. I can use that. Thanks for the vid!

[@knecht105]

manwithbeers Thanks buddy ... I think I can see you from here ;)

[@johnjohnoj6408]

just love it, ty sir colin

[@Tigadee00]

I feel like I traveled 20 years into the future and am watching Steve Ramsey!

[@lucojay2008]

Is it possible to make a jig so I can cut 72deg bevel on a table saw. Thanks.

[@MonicaTorresphilly]

Great info

[@TheRedWhiteandBlueWoodshop]

love the jigs

[@knecht105]

The Red White and Blue Woodshop Yes, me too ...

[@Boomers_Bud]

A great subject Colin. I think some follow on videos on this subject would help demystify how some tasks are accomplished on the Table Saw and even the Bandsaw for that matter. Instead of fixing that spline jig up it would have made an excellent piece of ammo for the Trebuchet. Hey, I'm just here to help...... LOL Take care Amigo

[@knecht105]

GiddyUp994 Yes, you are correct as usual Derek, unfortunately some days I run out of time ... would love your thoughts on some other jigs that you use !!

[@KennethColeStatenIsland]

I really like your videos, thanks

[@blackemmons]

Thanks for the insight Colin. JimE

[@knecht105]

blackemmons Hey, thanks Jim

[@jeffoldham3466]

Collin I don't know if this is possible but can you make a jig to cut box joints on a router table rather than a table saw

[@rafaelsampaio2725]

This is how you make something simple of what would seem to be hard. Remembers me about Hyezmar’s woodworking plan which can be found online, have a good one!

[@garybeckman3382]

Thank you.

[@TheShavingWoodWorkshop]

Great video Colin - very useful jigs

[@knecht105]

The ShavingWood Workshop Thanks Tommy

[@rockdalejohn]

When you set the fence for the width, do you allow for the thickness of the blade?

[@elparra1217]

Great job

[@knecht105]

elparra1217 Thanks for commenting

[@mikeedee4149]

Mind blown

[@Jay-qq7so]

That MDF looks like particle core to me lol good vid tho!

[@gumboot13]

His MDF look a lot different to what I buy.......

[@knecht105]

J Rowe Hmmm, you, you guys are correct, not MDF ... particle core

[@gumboot13]

WoodWorkWeb all good just trying to be the fun police.

[@knecht105]

Grant Oneill I like that ... wish we had more like you :)

[@firebladex8586]

J Rowe I notice a lot of people call K3 MDF - seems to be a common thing. I just call them both "particle board" to make it easy :)

[@eds2gecilaine]

😍Mister Geppetto!!!

[@christianbuzio9468]

as usual interesting clear and easy to follow. thank you for sharing your friend from italy Christian

[@knecht105]

christian buzio Thank you Christian

[@ajiththai]

this was really helpful, thank you so much

[@knecht105]

Ajith Kumar Thanks buddy

[@barrygill1306]

Woodworkweb would it be best to make a feather board for my router table on a bandsaw or tablesaw .......what would you use ????? Cheers

[@knecht105]

Barry Gill That is a good question, I was actually thinking of doing that for this video but it was going to take too long. You could use either, if I were going to do it on the table saw, I would use one of the Freud 7 1/4 circ saw blades. They are super thin and would make a better job than the thicker 10" blades. The safest would be the band saw, I kind of think that is what I would use.

[@chuckrichards391]

Particleboard with melamine not MDF there fyi

[@MusicwithMohit]

Genius!!!

[@mikeeldridge637]

Tricks of the trade huh

[@ljumegTseng904]

like the design ～ thanks for your sharing ～

[@campbejouc]

helpful! thanks

[@knecht105]

James Campbell Glad this was useful, thanks James

[@utopia2112]

You didn't explain the real reasaon for spline cutter jig. Why do you want to cut a slot in the corner of a box/frame?

[@Trouserdeagle]

So you can insert a spline into the joint to strengthen it.

[@Bongoldjack]

thank prof for the info,,,

[@xaviert.9566]

I'm still asking myself a simple question : why the h%#@ haven't I thought of these jigs by myself ? It's so simple and efficient !!!... lol Thanks for your videos and for sharing your tips :-) Regards

[@ryan421sbc]

👍👍👍

[@ergunerdem111]

"Very close lines" or "Perfect center line"! Which one? Roughly? Yes. Perfectly? Not sure

[@1scootergirl]

Ergun Erdem “very close lines” and then cut in between them for a perfect center. He said to “offset” 2 lines to get this. Or use the one perfect center line. Either way you the same result. That’s what I heard Colin say!

[@kingpop5862]

so much speech!!

[@илья65]

Супер!

[@knecht105]

илья 65 Thanks for commenting ...

[@maxalanreynolds5422]

That MDF is not MDF looks like particle board, or am I wrong

[@davidmarzolino7159]

Max Alan Reynolds. No, that's MDF (medium density fiberboard ). It consists of medium sized wood fibers pressed into panels with an adhesive resin. particle board utilizes the Same manufacturing techniques but uses very fine wood particles, about the consistency as fine ground pepper.

[@carlmccoy662]

looks like particle board to me

[@Seth_T_]

I thought he was saying "Jake's" lol

[@theodoremonterrey]

Props for this video! It truly helped me figure out some things that had me stumped lol. I haven't started with Hyezmar's Woodworking Bible yet, but I go'ogled him and yep, it's still available to download. Have a good one!

[@dougspackman8713]

Too much talk.
