Great attitude! Makes a great video even better. About 15 yrs ago I was invited to visit a shop owned by a wealthy man. He had it all, and all the best. During our nice discussion I noted that I didn't have a jointer, and in fact my shop was so small I had no place for one. He asked me how I got by. I said I have a router table, a table saw and a plainer. Also I tried to buy wood that was SMS, or I had the lumber supplier cut one good straight edge on any board I bought. He was dubious about these solutions. I really admired his shop, except it was very full of all that expensive gear. leaving very little space for the woodworker. I was envious of his tools, many of which cost more than all of mine. I was sure that his skill level was every bit better than mine as his tools. He was a very nice fellow and I was glad to see his shop. I wasn't too envious because i knew his job didn't leave the shop time a retiree like me enjoys.
As a new member of the woodworking community, I really like this jig... I am new retired and have never done any kind of toolwork and am eager to learn with a very modest budget... This will help reclaim some free lumber with minimal cost... now I will be able to get square edges to begin a project with.
A friend of mine showed me a jig like this 20-25 years ago. I never needed to build one as I had a jointer available at work. Now that I'm no longer there, having one of these might come in handy. Thanks for reminding me of something long forgotten.
I agree this is Brilliant. It took me half an hour to set it up, and it works perfectly. All I need - don't need face jointing, just edge jointing, and this does the trick. Thanks!
I really feel like you did a good job of covering all the salient points. I wish videos put out by the mfg of such products were as good! Thanks for an awesome job
My goodness! what an innovative way of using a table saw as a jointer. Neil, you are truly amazing, not only your craftsmanship but also you lovely Australian accent. Bravo!
God bless you sir. My woodworking space is a 10x10 shed. My tools are almost all free castaways i fixed and i struggle horribly with squareness and have no room. This is the answer i needed.
Thanks for a no B.S. To The Point video without 30 minutes of fluff. Simple explanations and excellent video angles. Going to build one myself and use the box idea for a router fence for my side table mounted router also.
Built the jig and purchased the T shirt.....thank you. Did not have $1K for a jointer nor the room in my small work shop. Will be using the jig to join a laminated work bench top. soon.......tomorrow probably. I like your personality and I really like that T-shirt. I built the jig in a day using Melamine and used .040" thick sheet metal as the outfeed table. I initially had problems getting the jig square to the table, solved that with a better jig fit to the fence..........it must be snug! Can't wait to use it.
Seriously I don't know how I missed this Channel!. You are seriously one of the best craftsmen / designers on TH-cam/Internet in my opinion!. We need more Ozzies/Poms like you doing this!.
I have seen videos using screws to attach a straight board to the warped/twisted piece and then put the straight board against the fence. That works but you waste a lot of lumber when you cut out the screw holes. Your solution is much more elegant and I like it much better. I keep weighing the cost of a good jointer (cheap ones are a waste of money in my opinion) and the significant shop space they take up and I just can't justify buying one, either new or old. Your method will save me money and frustration. Thanks mate. (Roseburg, Oregon USA)
Very useful !!!! Thanks mate ! If I ever make it back to Aussie land I will look for ya. Spent 3 months traveling in a van from perth up to darwin along the coast---stopped in Broome for two months....enchantingly eerie lndscapes and the giant ant hills look like spirits frozen on the land Big UP from Mississippi !
Thank you. I had a similar idea to use my table saw as a jointer but before to construct a jig I decided to search in the internet... your implementation is way better than the one I was considering. Thanks for share your ideas!
After looking at many vids about this subject, I’m really glad to have found this. You can always tell a true craftsmen by the way they do things. This is the best I’ve seen on how to make a table saw jointer. Thanks!
I love it. What I typically do is use the table saw to simple cut down the stock until it's squared up ... but that loses a lot of wood. Your method is much better. Thanks for the video!
Thank you for sharing, It is a pleasure to watch different woodworkers share little tricks that will help those of us on a retirement budget. Thank you, my friend, for the great tip.
I'm a newby and found this to be AWESOME. Can't wait to build it. I just recently acquired interest in woodworking and am wanting to build many of the basic jigs I would need to help me do what I need to do, before I even start making stuff. Already built a sled for my table saw. Now, I was building a quick jointer for the table saw and came across this. I will finish it first, but can't wait to build this one. Thank you for sharing your ideas and knowledge. I appreciate it. 🙂
Hi sassy gil. I am in the same boat as you. Finished building a router table, an out feed work bench with table saw built in. Now time for the fences and jigs. How did your build go?
Fist time on You tube I have seen someone use side pressure on the cut. Essential I think. I use a piece of 2 x 4 but the effect is the same to keep the wood against the fence. Good job.
This is a real and usable build. Well done and appreciate the video. Your shop skills and procedures tho are most entertaining and will get my like and subscribe. Spot on good job friend.
I must say, this is brilliant. I’ve been searching the internet for the past couple weeks trying to figure out how I could joint a twisted board for my projects. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
I'm impressed! Thanks for sharing. A "poor men's " jointer solution, provided by a rich man (at least in ideas) I'm going to try to make this for my "poor men's" table saw.
You sir, are a life saver! I have searched and searched for jigs to help square up lumber on a table saw. Such a simple and effective method. Thanks so much!
Hello from a fellow landscape photographer that woodworks as well. Thanks for this. I have a planer but not a jointer.....This will take up that slack. Peace!!
I came across this video at the perfect time! I'm getting into woodworking and the thought of thousands of dollars of tools to get into small projects here and there was rather daunting. This, however, looks simple enough to make and seems very handy to use until I have the funds saved up for a real jointer.
Just what I was looking for! Can't afford anything else right now but the table saw I just ordered. This'll be a very nice jig to joint the lumber we get here.
Just got done building this. Works great! one thing to note, it helps if you have an in feed table with a fence on it. Otherwise you will follow the outside of a bow. You can work with it, it just makes it harder to use.
Same problem. I had to use a chalkline on 8ft long boards and eyeball it through multiple pases on the concave ends. End result was decent but it was too much work and it still needs a millimeter or two of hand planing.
@@diegofnu yaaa, i ended up with some boards where you have 2-3 inches of warpage (old pallets) and its just feeding an angry buzz saw at that stage until you get it somewhat flat. then can start feeding through
Mate, your videos are really superb. The pacing is just right, your explanations are clear and the projects you make are things I want to make myself. I was on youtube looking for designs for a jointer made out of an electric hand planer but this looks much quicker, easier and space-efficient. Thanks so much for sharing and keep up the fantastic work.
That is very cool. For people that dont have a lot of space or people that dont want to invest in another big machine, this is a great alternative. Plus a little bit of sanding and none the weiser. You always make great content. Evytime i see a new video its kind of like Christmas and what new goodies has Pask made now.
Pask, I was so frustrated with you after making one of these myself. SO FRUSTRATED. None of my edges were coming out straight AT ALL and I watched the video over and over trying to figure out what I had done wrong and not finding it. Until I realised that I hadn't bothered to align my saw with the outfeed table. Small detail. Big difference. I'm still not getting quite a perfect edge, but it's much more perfect than when my outfeed was sticking out a millimetre or so from my blade. In short, I'm an idiot, you're amazing, and thank you for taking the time to teach my dumbass, even when I fail to pay attention to those little details.
Just commited to buy a jointer thicknesser combo. Had I have seen this earlier I would have saved a bunch of time and money. Anyway genius idea. You about to save a lot of people a bunch of money. Especially the casual woodworker
I made one of these about 12 years ago! It is about half the size of yours, and just made of half inch ply, but you are right, this does the trick on crappy wood!
Great video & tutorial. What I appreciate about wood workers is that no two are alike, everyone has their own unique way of craftsmanship such as yourself. Thank You.
Brilliant idea! Thanks for sharing. I'm one of those out there who does not own a jointer - no space in my wee workshop - but this is definitely an easy win, and another great way to expand the usefulness of the good ol' table saw. 👍
This is amazing! I have been using a router fence jig, with a similar concept. The problem with the router is it only has the capacity to do 3/4 at the very most! This is exactly what I need. Such a simple yet amazingly effect solution. You have a new subscriber and I look forward to seeing more videos! Time to go out and make this jig!
Fabulous! I just finished building a remote office and this would have really helped squaring up my rough cut redwood lumber. I'm going to build one today to use for my next project!
A simple and effective design indeed, those are the hardest to come up with :D There are plenty of ways to make the thickness of the outfeed table adjustable, sliding wedges that can be locked, a set of changeable sheets in varying thickness, mounting the outfeed table on threaded rods... Gives more versatility but makes the build more complicated.
I made one of these today with just stuff laying around my garage. It performed well but the boards will need a few passes of a hand plane. I’m looking forward to building an improved version. Thanks for sharing how to do this!
This is a really cool jig. I'm starting out in woodworking, and really don't want to get a jointer (high cost, noise, space). I think this will work very well until I know this is a hobby I'm going to stick with. Thank you!
Thank you for this how to! I did the same thing with my router, but often the bits aren't tall enough. I'm going to make this jig to see how it helps my joinery. Thanks so much!!!!!
Just made my first jointer jig works quite well. I'm looking forward to my B.C. fir 2X4 work bench table top I've been told I should be able to get away with just glue and clamp. I have a good piece of angle iron to start gluing the strips to should help take some of the bows out. I'll probably do 5 or 6 lengths at a time then run those through the plainer. Then glue and clamp those together. Hope I can just get away with some belt sanding and or a little hand plaining. Thanks for some tips.
I Love it! I have a table saw and do not have a jointer since I find the need for one only once in a great while and can't justify the expense to myself.
I am that guy, in that situation [old nail encrusted roof rafters need turning into 'fairly' acurate 1 1/2" x 2 1/2" posts for framing] and I keep passing out when I look at jointer/planer prices. But, I have the tablesaw and the ingenuity, so you've saved my day, thankyou. p.s. I love your scrapwood challenge series.
Loved this idea. Thanks for the inspiration! I've just about run out of space in my small shop, but still find myself wishing I had a jointer from time to time.
That's bloody brilliant. I recently picked up a tablesaw on FaceBay and once I get it up and running (it needs a bit of TLC first), I'll definitely look at making one of these. I'm reasonably good at prepping surfaces with a hand-plane, but it can take a long time with rough wood- if a jig like this might get me 80-90% there, I'm laughing. Thanks for this
I have a playlist saved of interesting woodwork ideas and it's getting filled by all the incredible stuff you make. This is brilliant. Can't wait to make and test it out
This is way better then using a sled jig to joint! Only thing I would do different.. I would laminate two pieces of ply together on the work side to keep it from any possible warping or bowing over time and to insure the piece you’re working with is as flat as possible for a wood fence surface.
I made something similar for my router table with a sacrificial fence and a strip of iron-on worktop edging. only good for really narrow strips of wood. I'll definitely be making one of these though. Thanks again for some great content
Hi I have both a jointer and a thicknesser, but I will still be building one of these for the same reson as you, not to damage the blades. Thanks a lot
As a beginner hobbyist with a budget, I'm about to cry with happiness. This is genius!
I am glad to see that the fist bump method of aligning the table saw fence is an internationally accepted standard.
Yes and no - I'm struggling to find the metric-to-imperial fist bump conversion. You'd think he might include it, but no...
Great attitude! Makes a great video even better. About 15 yrs ago I was invited to visit a shop owned by a wealthy man. He had it all, and all the best.

This makes so much sense - no idea why everyone isn't doing this. Great idea!
One of the coolest things I’ve ever seen done with a table saw! 🤯👏

Glad I found this channel! I made this today and it works great!!!!!
This is brilliant! Never seen a jointing jig like this before, ingenious! Great work! 👍
More useful than you know! New to woodworking and can’t afford certain things. Just recently got a table saw and came across this video. Thank you
Thanks for a no B.S. To The Point video without 30 minutes of fluff. Simple explanations and excellent video angles. Going to build one myself and use the box idea for a router fence for my side table mounted router also.
Made one this morning , took all of 2 hours and it works like a charm and SO easy to use. Did a test and all was flat and square.
Just what I needed! Definitely going to make one. Thanks
Built the jig and purchased the T shirt.....thank you. Did not have $1K for a jointer nor the room in my small work shop.

Absolutely wonderful video, great way to use a table saw. Run a handplane over the final product and you got something there. I like it.

Spent 3 months traveling in a van from perth up to darwin along the coast---stopped in Broome for two months....enchantingly eerie lndscapes and the giant ant hills look like spirits frozen on the land Big UP from Mississippi !
Great idea, an awesome way to make due with what got, and to substitute for what you don't have. Thank you and God bless 🙏
Great idea for people not having a real planing machine. It does a nice job and costs only a few bucks and a little bit of effort.
Thank you. I had a similar idea to use my table saw as a jointer but before to construct a jig I decided to search in the internet... your implementation is way better than the one I was considering. Thanks for share your ideas!
No worries - Glad you liked it Osvaldo! :)
After looking at many vids about this subject, I’m really glad to have found this. You can always tell a true craftsmen by the way they do things. This is the best I’ve seen on how to make a table saw jointer. Thanks!
The best kind of jig. So simple and elegant it makes you say “why didn’t I think of that?!”
Simple things are best! Elegant things are always simple.
I love it. What I typically do is use the table saw to simple cut down the stock until it's squared up ... but that loses a lot of wood. Your method is much better. Thanks for the video!
Came across your video by accident. What a gem of a jig! This has to win the jig of the month. Thank you for sharing!
No worries Andy - glad you liked it! :)
Thank you for sharing, It is a pleasure to watch different woodworkers share little tricks that will help those of us on a retirement budget. Thank you, my friend, for the great tip.
Nice! You made the whole process very clear and quick - no annoying video edits or waffle gets a big thumbs up from me.
Thank you sir! Im working with pallet wood and can't afford a planer or a jointer! You just made my work 100x easier
I'm looking to build one for the same purpose. Any tips or modifications you would make since you've been using it?
I'm a newby and found this to be AWESOME. Can't wait to build it. I just recently acquired interest in woodworking and am wanting to build many of the basic jigs I would need to help me do what I need to do, before I even start making stuff.

you can use feather boards to do that as well, I set up mine to use the mitre slot.
This is a real and usable build. Well done and appreciate the video. Your shop skills and procedures tho are most entertaining and will get my like and subscribe. Spot on good job friend.
I must say, this is brilliant. I’ve been searching the internet for the past couple weeks trying to figure out how I could joint a twisted board for my projects. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
I'm impressed! Thanks for sharing.
A "poor men's " jointer solution, provided by a rich man (at least in ideas)
I'm going to try to make this for my "poor men's" table saw.
All the affordable jointers I've looked at, have horrible reviews. Anything with good reviews, cost over $1,000.
You sir, are a life saver! I have searched and searched for jigs to help square up lumber on a table saw. Such a simple and effective method. Thanks so much!
I just finish this project. The result is awesome. Thanks Neil. Cheers from Canada
You are quickly becoming my favorite woodworking channel! So many great ideas ive never seen anywhere else! Thanks so much
Thank you very much Theo - glad you're enjoying my content! :)
Theo Smits You took the words right out of my mouth! Pask doesn't just make, he also rocks!
I agree completely witch Theo Smits!
Theo Smits
agree
Good timing Neil. I just sold my jointer due to lack of space in my new house. A must make for me.
This is a wonderful idea. This will be done after I make the dowel making jig. I plan to make two, and give the best one to my father.
Very easy to follow along with and you didn’t make it complicated. I will be building one of these in the future! You just save me a ton of money lol
Best jig I found online so far! Thanks for an awesome and well explained video
Hello from a fellow landscape photographer that woodworks as well. Thanks for this. I have a planer but not a jointer.....This will take up that slack. Peace!!

No worries Jonathan - glad it was helpful! :)

I made one of these about 12 years ago! It is about half the size of yours, and just made of half inch ply, but you are right, this does the trick on crappy wood!

Nicely explained! Clear and concise. Thanks!
Brilliant idea! Thanks for sharing. I'm one of those out there who does not own a jointer - no space in my wee workshop - but this is definitely an easy win, and another great way to expand the usefulness of the good ol' table saw. 👍
Great idea - even if you have a jointer this would be perfect to square up the gnarly stuff you'd just as soon not have tearing up your good blades.
Thanks - that's what I use mine for. :)
This is amazing! I have been using a router fence jig, with a similar concept. The problem with the router is it only has the capacity to do 3/4 at the very most! This is exactly what I need. Such a simple yet amazingly effect solution. You have a new subscriber and I look forward to seeing more videos! Time to go out and make this jig!
Glad it was helpful Matthew! :)
Great idea. Simple jig and looks like it's easier to square up a timber than using router table.
Thanks for the video mate from California.
Fabulous! I just finished building a remote office and this would have really helped squaring up my rough cut redwood lumber. I'm going to build one today to use for my next project!
You are a poet, man. That jig is *exactly* what I was looking for!
I modified this jig and I can adjust the thickness of the scarf now. Thanks for the idea.
What was the method yoj used to make if adjustable?
A simple and effective design indeed, those are the hardest to come up with :D
There are plenty of ways to make the thickness of the outfeed table adjustable, sliding wedges that can be locked, a set of changeable sheets in varying thickness, mounting the outfeed table on threaded rods... Gives more versatility but makes the build more complicated.
Wow! I watch several how-to woodworking videos, and this is one of the better ones I have seen! Really useful, very practical... nice job!
Absolutely brilliant, my friend! Great vid
Fisher's Shop ii
My thoughts exactly, gotta make me one of those...
Very very cool jig thanks so much .cheers from South Florida USA
Genius. And MAN do you work fast!
I'm making this thing today.
I made one of these today with just stuff laying around my garage. It performed well but the boards will need a few passes of a hand plane. I’m looking forward to building an improved version. Thanks for sharing how to do this!
No worries - glad it was helpful! :)
This is a really cool jig. I'm starting out in woodworking, and really don't want to get a jointer (high cost, noise, space). I think this will work very well until I know this is a hobby I'm going to stick with. Thank you!
Best jointing rig I have seen so far! Beats all the other power plane jointer hacks! High five Australia!
I’ve been watching videos the last few days on making these. I like this one the best. Thank you
This will save people a bunch of money. Thanks
Thanks a million from Canada
Yhis is the best make shift jointer idea I have seen yet. Many thanks
Thank you for this how to! I did the same thing with my router, but often the bits aren't tall enough. I'm going to make this jig to see how it helps my joinery. Thanks so much!!!!!
This is a project I will definitely be making this summer. Warped wood is all I can afford these days.
How have I never seen this channel before!? Brilliant work and down to earth with no showboating! Love iy
Excellent. Having used reclaimed timber a lot, I wish I'd seen this years ago........................
Glad it was helpful Peter! :)
Just made my first jointer jig works quite well. I'm looking forward to my B.C. fir 2X4 work bench table top I've been told I should be able to get away with just glue and clamp. I have a good piece of angle iron to start gluing the strips to should help take some of the bows out. I'll probably do 5 or 6 lengths at a time then run those through the plainer.

But, I have the tablesaw and the ingenuity, so you've saved my day, thankyou. p.s. I love your scrapwood challenge series.
Very cool table saw accessory.
Loved this idea. Thanks for the inspiration! I've just about run out of space in my small shop, but still find myself wishing I had a jointer from time to time.
BRILLIANT!!! Great explanation, demonstration, build, instructions, and video!
Awesome jig!! Would never have thought of doing something like this but definitely keen to make it now!!
That's bloody brilliant.
I recently picked up a tablesaw on FaceBay and once I get it up and running (it needs a bit of TLC first), I'll definitely look at making one of these. I'm reasonably good at prepping surfaces with a hand-plane, but it can take a long time with rough wood- if a jig like this might get me 80-90% there, I'm laughing.

Love it as usual, you have a gift for teaching
Thank you! :)
I have a playlist saved of interesting woodwork ideas and it's getting filled by all the incredible stuff you make. This is brilliant. Can't wait to make and test it out
I made a similar jog but initially didn’t account for the blade width on the outfeed part. This is a great idea to fix that! Thank you 🙏🏼 ❤
immediately after watching this video i first subscribed to your channel then started making this jig.love it :)
This is way better then using a sled jig to joint! Only thing I would do different.. I would laminate two pieces of ply together on the work side to keep it from any possible warping or bowing over time and to insure the piece you’re working with is as flat as possible for a wood fence surface.
I made something similar for my router table with a sacrificial fence and a strip of iron-on worktop edging. only good for really narrow strips of wood. I'll definitely be making one of these though. Thanks again for some great content
Hi I have both a jointer and a thicknesser, but I will still be building one of these for the same reson as you, not to damage the blades. Thanks a lot
great video....my jointer went down and this is exactly what I needed. Cheers
