WITHOUT A DOUBT, the BEST DIY log-ripping jig on the net! You need LOOK NO FURTHER! Thank you very much for the video. Although, that being said, I will be making a few small modifications: 1) Add a simple metal bar with triangular teeth to the center of sloped side of the support blocks, glued in with epoxy, to better bite into the log and not allow it to rotate. The bar will be a simple affair: a 1/8 x 3/4 inch metal bar with teeth cut with a hacksaw and then filed sharp using a triangular file. 2) Blunt the lower "pointy" tip of the support blocks. In other words, instead of having the lower edge of the support blocks pointy, I will put a small vertical face there, perhaps 1/2 inch high, to register the side of the log once you have halved it.
Jason, Excellent design, explanation and demonstration. Very well done. Love the securing chocks. Very clever. Building tomorrow! Thanks from Venice, FL. Hurricane Ian survivor
Just subscribed a few days and already I’ve got owls to make, apples and pears, and now a bandsaw mill, I might even add on some chess pieces, thanks so much
i've seen so many jigs for milling small logs but this is the best of the best. In my oponion it's the most versatile and btw the easiest do build. Congrats!!
Omg I found the cure for insomnia and calling that jig you mad simple.....well of all the simple jigs I've seen this one is by far the most laborious to make only to function on par with one that only used 2 screw and a drill and literally take 30 seconds to set up
