How to make a perfect mortising jig

[@K3Flyguy]

Very well done! I built a horizontal mortising jig/table 40 years ago, and it's still in use! Your jig look strong and very well built, excellent job!!!!!

[@triplex86]

That looks amazing - clever, functional. A true professional at work here. I wouldn't mind betting that there are no plans and it all just came straight out of his head.

[@tinycuisine6544]

It's been a pleasure to just watch the care and accuracy with which you use your hands. A true sign of craftsmanship. Thank you.

[@markspears1167]

Love this video. Loved it even more that he didn’t spend an extra 30 minutes talking it to death like most other video’ers do. In fact just let the process explain itself. Great video!!!!!

[@peterfitzpatrick7032]

Mark Spears .... Bingo !!! 🙄

[@rjdean8913]

Brilliant. I made my own jig based on your video and I can honestly say it is works really well. Thank you for sharing.

[@lindaloftus8780]

What a great idea. With your jig makes it very simple. Thank you. Enjoyed video very much.

[@jackripperchen4492]

Very good craftsmanship, with some dangerous moves. When someone wants to find something negative, for sure will find. Anyhow, i prepare such jigs with a festool machine. Fast, repeatable and quick to use. Anyhow people builfing their own tools and gauges have my highest respect.

[@cavebeastdemon3631]

Excellent work! Way better than trying to plunge on a router table and much cheaper and maybe better than store bought.

[@simonrourke9817]

I can honestly say that I wasn't sure at first but you can't argue with the results. Great idea and good build. 👍👍👍

[@trueleyes]

Very nice and precise workmanship. Great idea and I like the plexiglass jig. Fortunately I bought my Powermatic hollow mortising machine last year. I too like to do a lot of mortis and tenon work as well as Dovetailing. BRAVO to you Maestro.

[@traktorworks3200]

your a very clever person and your efforts are highly appreciated. for some reason i find watching just your hands working quite intriguing.

[@crossgrainwoodproductsltd9230]

Brilliant work as usual! This is one of nicest and probably the easiest to make and use. Thank you!

[@craigoxford4613]

I know Im late. but I made one from your inspiration and design. Wow, works great. I'm impressed. Thank you so much for the wonderful design. You are a great craftsman and engineer.

[@keirfarnum6811]

Yet another slick design. You come up with some really great tools and jigs. 👍🏻 Thanks again for sharing!

[@stevejones1635]

Best use of HF coupon pages I've ever seen. Thumbs up.

[@RossWilliamsDC]

Nice. I love the demonstration without all the talking.

[@christopherzajac]

This is a great design - I built one for myself for a Bosch router. Thanks Mr. Je.

[@antonkhischenko5166]

Perfect. Best jig on KZbin. Thanks so much. Большое спасибо,самый,на мой взгляд,лучше приспособление на всем ютубе.!!!!!

Bravissimo. Idee GENIALI per costruire guide economiche e jig per fresatrice con un tagliere, ma utilissime in 1000 altri progetti (per sega da banco, trapano a colonna ecc). Aspetto altri piccoli progetti di jig per laboratorio. Grazie

[@ruatarengsicolneyrengsi8924]

Marvellous idea. Superb work.

[@silvasos4053]

Very good project. Spectacular. I'll make one for myself. It will add good results in my work. I'm from Taubaté, São Paulo, Brazil.

[@rickgordon8377]

Ive watched so many times. Its a pleasure watching experienced hands. I was puzzled when you glued the HDPE to the Lexan or acrylic. I didn't think it was possible.

[@camvanzin]

Excellent jig. Thank you for sharing.

[@Raul28153]

I hate doing it that way. I had trouble with the router bouncing around and other issues. I ended up getting a cast iron X-Y table took the dials and lead screws off rigged it with sweep handles and built a steel frame for a horizontal router with height and angle adjustment and used a Truton Plunge router for the power head. Now I can work closer than 0.005" easily and repeatably.

[@ro_yo_mi]

Yours is more solid. His is more portable. Both get the job done nicely.

[@alfonsocastro-pena2714]

Always a pleasure watching your videos.

[@metodeplus]

Muchas gracias maestro por este video, excelente trabajo.

[@tathkara]

Great looking tool. I build one too just need to make the stops for the midpoint again. Awesome tools. It took me a while to make the drawing and the template for my cnc router. Thanks for sharing.

[@walter9008]

Wow. Beautiful jig. Great work!

[@trigmachine]

Awesome jig.... I'd happily pay for one... Well done sir

I like how you put the harbor freight catalog to good use!

[@eddiekitchens3897]

@Mat Vieat Topfinewoodworking.com is aka Ted's 16,000 stolen woodworking plans from magazines and around the web. Good ole Ted expanded his criminal empire and started paying a 75% commission to those that were willing to create their own website in an attempt to disguise the original Ted's 16,000 Stolen Woodworking Plans, then the bogus website links back to push his stolen plans.

I love it. Bi far the best looking one yet that I've seen. The one I made is similar but out of wood. I may have to make me another like yours.

[@jeremyspecce]

Very complex build but once finished it looks like a very useful and repeatable jig. I need to get one of those center finding pins!

[@ThrowingBlue]

Just use a v groove bit.

[@ZilvinasN]

I have took D8 old dril bit, made on grinder rotatin with drill. Easy and quick.

Looks like one very precise mortise jig! Very nice job.

[@pch4287]

Very clever idea.Beautiful work

[@openmind549]

Pleasing to watch this master, other wood workers mostly americans talk a lot, not straight to the point, this guy do all the job not the talking.

[@mechanoid5739]

I very good design and very effective in operation. Nice Job! :)

[@CanuckusRuckus]

I would love to see you do a collaboration with Alec Steele. His damascus for a blade and your plane body would be a priceless tool when finished. Right now he is making a blade for Dustin Penner but I cant imagine what your collaboration would look like!

[@ДенисГлебов-ж3ь]

great work. I want to buy this. respect from Russia.

[@raefordcarter902]

Thank you so very much. I’ve watched your video several times and each time I’m more impressed. Not only are you a great craftsman but you have a tremendous analytical mind. I will build one for my shop. I’ve avoided the mortise and tenon construction because I never felt as though I had the skill. I feel comfortable now. I’ve looked everywhere for a centering bit like the one you used but can’t find one. Can you tell me where you purchased yours.

[@mikebond6328]

Not sure if you’re still wondering but I think he made it.

[@tony0327]

Great idea, you should offer detailed step by step plans.

[@xxnickthegreekxx]

This guy was like festool domino?? 🤨...Fuck that I’ll just make this jig

[@rapunzeleh546]

now THAT is brilliant... will be making a whole house's worth of doors over the next few years and frankly i just can't afford a fancypants Festool domino!

I'm sorry, I do not sell,

[@MrFreakwent]

Brilliant .This would work on tapered legs too , as long as you have a centerline and the work clamp fits the width of the leg.

Outstanding! It is clear you thought this through, very cleaver!

[@TitusLivy777]

The best mortising jig I have ever seen! Thank you for sharing this!

[@phillk6751]

Wow that's a very nice and simple jig....now you just need a matching tenon jig

[@VestigialHead]

+ Phillip Kirkpatrick If only Kreg made a router that adds wood instead of removing it. Then you could use this jig for both the mortise and tenon. :)

Excellent video. Great watching a craftsman at work.

[@Meticularius]

3/4/2019 USA NEVER! wear long sleeves or gloves near the turning areas of the saws, routers, shapers, drill presses, etc., even if it is cold in the work area. Too many excellent craftsmen have lost thumbs, fingers; or, have had their hands or arms ripped off. One man was strangled to death by his necktie in an office shredder. All were accidents. You, Young Je are most outstanding and refined in your work. Your intelligence and understanding are great. Your design is by itself above the rest. I admire your methods. Your hands show the refinement of a master craftsman. Please set a good example and help prevent an unnecessary accident to some young man who follows you.

[@12fretter]

All the negative comments about how there is no mention of how to make the tenon....wake up people. This is used for lose tenon joinery. That means both pieces have a mortise. You then glue a loose tenon in between them. Take an 8 foot long board and mill it to the same thickness as this jigs mortise....round over all edges and cut them to length. And you really don't want this to be self centering....what if you want side by side mortises in thick stock? It's perfect the way it is...thank you for the design. I plan to make a longer one where one end is for 1/4 inch mortises for joining 3/4 inch stock and the other end is for 1/2 inch mortises for joining inch and a half stock.

[@atlanticoceango8955]

I'm relatively very new wood working enthusias. I truly like your Mortizer jig. But I can't make it without the dimension of all the parts . Please share some of your talent idea
