oh my goodness. I love it. I think I will put on it markings for angles such as the 30 degrees needed for the lighthouses. Thanks my friend. Oh, If asked, I will refer people to your site and not take any credit for the jig.
Glad to hear that it worked out for you Chris and that you like the end results. Thanks for tuning in and for taking the time to leave your comment. It is very much appreciated.
I appreciate your well thought out and instructive videos. As I’m about to embark on making a wooden lighthouse with your garden lighthouse as a reference. My only wonder is why you didn’t install on the back side of the jig, a small thin piece of wood to fit into the grove on your saw to keep the jig from turning into your blade?
Place a piece of stock to run in the mitre slots will seriously reduce the adjustability of this jig. As long as there in forward and inward pressure (toward the fence) the jig will not turn into your blade. I hope this helps. I'd love to see your lighthouse when you're done Brian. Good luck on your project and thanks for tuning in to the show.
@@acutabove_woodworkings one question about the lighthouse. You didn’t mention in your video the angle at the top and bottom of your tapered pieces? I used sketch up to design and help me with measurements but cannot figure out the angle. I assume it’s small like 5° or something close to. Any help would be appreciated
@@brianwhitcombe7659 I never bothered with messing around with the lower angles Brian. Instead, I just left them as is and sealed any gaps with silicone to prevent moisture from seeping into the wood. I hope this helps.
Kenny, that makes a nice tapering jig. I only had one concern and you answered it. My concern was where you were going to store it....your shop isn’t that big and I haven’t seen that much empty wall or ceiling space, lol. Hmmm, will that jig show up in your next scrap wood project? Enjoyed the show.
I actually found a nice clear space in behind my router table Paul. It mounts there perfectly and is easily accessible when I need it. You should be seeing this jig in action in just a couple of weeks. Thanks for the kind words and for tuning in to the show sir. I always enjoy your comments and this week was no exception.
I don't see why it wouldn't work with a portable unit. The only thing I would be cautious about is tipping the saw with the lager size of the jig. You would really want to make sure that your saw was on a very stable and flat surface and the use of an out feed table wouldn't be a bad idea either and would definitely help to stabilize the jig and the saw. I hope this helps. Thanks for tuning in to the show.
Those hold downs were purchased Kevin. I have made some on the show before but these particular ones were not made by me. Thanks for tuning in to the show. It's very much appreciated.
@@kevinmccarthy8670 I work full time as an electrician. I am also a certified structural welder. Woodworking is my hobby which I have been doing for over 42 years now. I started at the age of ten and never stopped. I still have a lot to learn, even after 42+ years.
Where is your shop anyway? A separate room in the house? A partition of the garage? A completely separate building? I'm working out of a two car garage that shares space with a compact car and minivan lol. Eventually I'll have a separate building for my workshop and wife's canning kitchen upstairs. We can only dream.
I used to have a shop that was in my basement and finally after years of talking about it, I pulled the permits and built a separate building at the back of my yard. It's a 12x24 building that has full 8' ceilings. I would have preferred to have a larger shop, but the city would only allow me to build one this size. It's a little crammed and it can be tight to build larger projects, but it's still a space that I can call my own and I enjoy being out there. Good luck with your dream of a separate building for your shop. I hope it comes to fruition soon. Thanks for tuning in to the show.

I just made this, but I took your advice and left two inches in the middle. It came out well.

Nicely explained. Will be needing one soon.
There comes a time when we all need one I think. LOL. Good luck on your build and thanks for tuning in to the show.
Great video Kenny, i love a good Jig build.

Will this jig work with a smaller table saw?

Thank you for your response and safety tips. 10 4.
There's always a way to fix an oops! You can always add another t-nut if needed!
Did you make the hold downs? If so how did you bend them so nicely?
Those hold downs were purchased Kevin. I have made some on the show before but these particular ones were not made by me. Thanks for tuning in to the show. It's very much appreciated.

I meant a portable table saw.
