I wonder why people use screws when they can use glue. For practical purposes, gluing is as strong as screws and a lot more rigid, specially over the long haul.
@@skwalka6372 I guess screws allow replacing parts more easily especially concerning jigs which have certain parts that wear out. But maybe not.
@@Synonomous Not sure, it might be a mix of tradition and impatience (no need to wait for glue to set.)
@@skwalka6372 Note that the video was mostly about developing the jig, which means a fair amount of trial and error. Glue is "trial and scrap". The pins used in the video can be pried apart pretty easily, and are a lot faster to fasten.
The perfect 2x bench method and there's a lot of good ones out there. Thanks bruddah.
My favorite part of this channel is that it's not usually a how-to, it's a "how-to-approach-to." ...Which has so many more uses in additional disciplines.
Precisely and concisely said, like everything about James’ teaching, good call mate, 😎👍
The difference between showing and teaching someone :)
So true. Over the last 30 years, I have made a career doing this - in the computer industry. In my case, scripts are my jigs. So much computer administration is manual, editing config files and such. What if you could write a script to generate the config file with exact settings? I do this all the time, and making my "jig" usually takes about 30 minutes and saves many hours of tedious, error prone manual administration.
This is THE perfect example of: Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day. Teach a man how to fish and you feed him for a lifetime. Having a ‘how to make’ vid is good, having a how to make, but also how to think for yourself and your needs, is so much better.
Great channel that works for me !
Yep. I need this jig, plus it's giving me an idea for a mortise and tenon jig.
It's not about the time it takes you to assemble a jig. It's about the repeatable accuracy it provides. Stellar!
I like how you showed the process of figuring out your own jig and improving on it until it works right instead of just showing how to make a lap joint jig.
the poem advertisement about squares was the funniest part this really helpful video. all remaining thumbs up!
I'm most impressed by that outro plug. I'd never have made it through all those 'squares' without getting tongue-tied.
Modular shop plans...YES PLEASE!!! 🙂
I'm chuckling: Your jig materials budget exceeds my project materials budget.
anyone who's ever watched Pask Makes videos knows the value of a good jig
The thought process you impart on your channel is why I keep coming back. You have great ideas and you also share why in addition to how. Woodworking is often about problem solving.
It's great to not only give someone a fish but teaching him how to fishing. Thank very much.
I make a lot of jigs and fixtures in my shop. To me half the fun in wood working is planing and making them.
Lost count of the number of times a channel has done a review of an item that immediately sells out everywhere 🤣
Yes I will steal this idea. Half the reason I watch this channel is for jig tips, and this is a good explaination of the key concepts.
I can't stop rewatching this video.
Nice job at the end Dr. Seuss.
Excellent information!
Thank you for sharing!!!
That is the first ad I've ever listened to, in its entirety, just because of the poetry of the thing. Well done :).
Looking forward to those workbench plans!
Brilliant, James. I feel validated in all the jigs I've made for one-off projects. I have found that my experience making jigs has made jig building more effective and quicker as I've made quite a few now. Then there's all that scrap wood I'm using instead of holding on to for years before finally pitching it in the firepit.
LOVE the poetry at the end. Finally subbed just now, though I thought I had already. Keep up the good work! Aloha
Just re-viewed this one. Really GREAT video. Required viewing for any prospective woodworker! I love that the jig evolved in several stages: 1) Git 'R done. 2) Modify to let sawdust escape. 3) Modify to make clamping easier. 4) Temporary/test version of dust extraction port. 5) Final/fixed port. It's an approach I need! It DOESN'T have to be an elaborate does-everything jig right from the get-go. But it CAN get there. Awesome. (And a great jig, too. :__)
Probably my favourite video of all I've watched from you so far.
I made a hand drill/threading guide, and thought i'd only use it once. It's been 12 years later. When you need to make 64 identical bolt holes in aluminium, plan on using a jig.
You have helped me immeasurably! From your sharpening videos to your finishing videos I need it all! Nice work and thank you so much. Little by little I’m honing my skills!
Thank you for the easy-to-follow and informative content. I look forward to the table build video.
Fantastically easy...except finding an uplift router bit in NZ! Another missing ahead. Brilliant tutorial! Thanks James.
Once again, you’ve made a great “no nonsense” video that’s informative and “to the point”. Thank you for sharing this and I agree that making a jig is time well spent and we do get faster at building them.😊
James...you are a brilliant "process" guy and a master educator. You could teach anything.
Where were you when I took Calculus 100 years ago? Never mind....I know.🙄
This will transform my garage, on one wall !
Thanks for the outline
Can't beat a good jiggy-jig!
You are right you were not mass producing the tables, but you needed several lap joints, so the jig makes sense. I am a big fan of jigs. Sometimes it makes sense for a single piece if accuracy can only be obtained that way. Excellent video.
Thank you for great videos, I love that you take the time to explain your work process.
I don't know what's better. The video, the jig, or that limerick ending! Awesome as usual.
Super helpful! Will definitely build this jig. Thank you.
Really brilliant jig, James! 😃
Thanks a lot for all the tips!!!
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
This. I have some half lap stuff coming up and I was pondering a jig. This is a perfect jumping off point. Thank you.
This helps so much on a project I'm working on. Thank you!
That was amazing. I have always wondered how these bizarre looking jigs that do amazing jobs evolve. Now I know. I will be ‘stealing’ this one! Thanks again James
As a guitar builder and repair man I can attest to the invaluable uses of both jigs and templates, I have a ton of them in my shop and yes I use all of them!
As always I’m impressed , wood worker most of my 72 years and never thought jigs were important. Just one more great lesson from you . Thanks
Great jig, even better the concept of using a jig for even small jobs (small in size or quantity). After watching you (and JKM and Tamara and others) make and use jigs so effectively and cleverly, I have become a convert. Part of every project is now... What jig do I need / want!
I got some great ideas from the compact workbench design. Just in time to finish the left side of my garage wall bench. Thanks for the inspiration!
Great video! I’m getting ready to build a new workbench and I’m going to build this jig first. Thanks
The video was excellent, and I also enjoyed how you promoted the squares at the end. Thanks.
Than you sir, grabbed a sander!!
I like the way you think. You have great ideas, but I have no need to steal them. Coming up with my own solutions is most of the fun of any project!
The square plug was hilarious Stumpy. 😂
Thanks for the video, always enjoy watching!
Some jigs are definitely "one hit wonders". Others will stick around and evolve into something better like yours did, or morph into something else. There are also the ones that find a permanent space in the shop due to their usefulness. Thanks for sharing 👍 I have been looking for a way to maximize my tiny workspace and this may just be the ticket.
Genius, just what I've been looking for. The perfect 2x bench method.
Excellent video, Lap joints are strong and easy. My favorite joint by far for shop fixtures and tables. Thanks.
Great Video. I am binge watching your past videos today, as my low calorie thanksgiving treat to myself !
Look very helpful with less effort. Nice video.
Right! Nicked the concept. Thank you.
What a fantastic and very professional video. Thank you for sharing.
I've been sanding for over sixty years and I have to say that I really love the 3M sander. Also, I think that their sandpaper is the best and a great value.
Slick as a wet whistle. Thanks for sharing with us James, that is a kool jig. Fred.
Very well spoken. I can appreciate that in addition to the terrific information. Thank you kindly
You are so right James.
I make a lot of segmented pens and my jigs has evolved a lot.
I now need to make another jig which will take that to another level.
Great video.
Take care James.
Cheers, Huw
Jigs are that one extra employee that never asks for a raise and always show up on time. Great Video!
I'm pretty much done with all of my shop furniture and the way it's all laid out, but I will be building this for next month... you know, when I find a better layout because this way is stupid, and the 37th way will the best!
My 101 of making = work-holding & jigs. And this jig is a perfect example. Cheers Jim.
I'm going to need that promised video about your wall of bench in the next month please. PLEASE!!! I have a big empty garage that's just waiting to become a shop......
Definitely a jig that I would like to build. And yes, totally agree. Many times I have built a jig that was only needed to a particular project. Makes the build easier and sometimes safer.
Jigs evolve! Thanks, James.
simple yet brilliant--thank you so much!
I make a lot of jigs in my shop when I'm building just about anything. But the tip about pin nailing the thing together first is like "why didn't I think of that"! Well now it will be used just about every time I build one. Thanks for the awesome videos. Have a cold one, you deserve it!
"Thank You!", Mr. Nubs!
Excellent video even if no 'plans included'.
Have a GREAT day, Neighbor!
great video , looking forward to the bench build and plans .
thanks for being awesome
Almost skipped over the video but glad your patience kept my attention. Very Cool thing to have in your shop and I have to make one or 2... or 3....lol. Very impressed! Thank you for sharing!
Yep I'm steal that idea. Great way to make sure everything the same. And the sander love mine !!! Glad you recommend it. My sanding time cut way down its comfortable in my hand well worth it.
Great video. Thank you.
been looking for one of these guides! thank you!
I wish I had knowledge of such a jig on my last lap joint project. It would have been very helpful. But I'll definitely use it the next time. I do make and use jig. They have become my third, fourth and even my fifth hand. Thanks again for sharing.
Yup… I am totally gonna steal this! 🍺
Love making a jig for many different things.
Very nice! I've even used a 3D printer to make fixtures for angled attachments, drilling guides and even pocket hole drilling jigs for special situations. Jigs and fixtures that I thought were only temporary have become indispensable parts of my workshop: a crosscut sled, table saw extension rollers, drill guides, shooting boards for wood planes, etc. You're definitely on to something here.
Dr. Nubs scores again. Nice work James.
Yes. Yes I'm stealing this.
Thanks James.
I like the tip about using a nailer to get the pieces to stay in place until you screw them. I recently came across this problem but had no good ideas on how to solve it. Thank you! Also thanks for the recommendation on using an uncut spiral bit. I'm going to try that out as well!
What a square ending. Love it!
Once again a video I wish I seen earlier. Thanks stumpy for your videos
Your timing is impeccable. I am getting ready to build a 2x4 stand for a 100 gallon aquarium. I have always used a dado set on the table saw for the joints. This jig and a router looks much easier and more precise. The studs are planed down to a uniform size. I am ready to make the stand this way. Thanks!
Always great information and explanations………
Thanks for the info!!!! Great Idea!!!!! Much appreciated!!!! 👍😎
When I started woodworking I used to sit down after each project and write some lessons learned. One of the ones that always stands out for me was “if you can do it with a jig, do it with a jig”.
Great jig instruction.
Great point.
Before I start any project, I have a universal jig that I dance.
Great video as usual... Loved the Dr. Seuss ending about squares....
Hola! 🖐I'm not at the stage of building jigs just yet, but this video has educated me already. I appreciate the video and the info. Take care and have a good one, Adios!👊
I have an idea for shelves that I want to build for my studio, and they can be taken apart if I am ever moving. A rig inspired by this will definitely cut down on the time it will take to make all the cuts needed. Thanks for a great idea! As usual.
James my boy, will I nick your ideas and thought processes, Yup, absolutely lol just like everything else you have taught me over the years lol. Have a wonderful day James and thank you again mate from Down Under 😎👍👀
What I've learned for jigs in wood/metal work is, it's not about the number of parts or projects. It's about the number of cuts. And their complexity.
If making the jig takes the same number of cuts as you intend to make with the jig, then make the jig. You'll get the bonus of precision, speed and practice in building jigs.
Always excellent.
Having 1 arm/leg, jigs are vital to everything I do.
In fact, I like creating jigs more than building things with them.
That said, make a pantorouter. It's the king of jig tools.
Thanks for the heads up, Nubs! I got me one of those sanders during my watch of this vid.
I bought the 3m sander when you first showed it on your show and it’s a very nice sander very little vibration.
And the one thing I do not do nearly enough. Date the jig and write on it what it is for. I have made some fabulous jigs that I had to throw out a few years later since I just couldn't remember what they were for. And it is nice to pick up a scrappy little jug and see that you have been using it for many years. We have jigs around the workshop that my father made 30 years ago.
print a label on a laser printer, laminate it, and glue it onto the jig. less character, but more information. (I.E. which router and bit you use with it)
Im loving this jig, I also love my spiral upcut bits but all mine have bearings on the top or bottom of my bits granted sometimes you just have to make due with what you got on hand.
I have fairly new 2 flut flush trims that I rarely use because the spirals just work so much better!
Great video - inspirational! Thanks for sharing.
