Thank you for posting, demonstrating how to use this/these jigs (since it a combo jig) and for giving the plans to it away for $FREE.99, which works EVERY TIME!!! Seriously, thank you!!
Very nicely done!! I was impressed that you explained the entry cut difference between a square stock compared to a rectangular stock. That's a detail that would leave most people scratching their head. Great video and generous offer for the plan.....I'm looking forward to putting this together.
Thank you very much my friend Tommy I am a Greek pensioner and I am very pleased that you sent me these excellent designs of yours I will try to make it as best as I can and thank you very much again many greetings from greece
Great video, and thank you for sending a link to the video and the plans directly to my mailbox 👍 These videos are so well-edited, and the choice of projects and the way everything is explained, are just absolutely perfect for beginners and hobby woodworkers. Showing (and teaching) us basic techniques that are a piece of cake for experienced woodworkers, but a nightmare when you're going to try it out when alone in your workshop, that is not something many experienced woodworkers do well even in their videos for beginners. Thank you, Tommy, for doing a great job! 👍
Very clear and concise information and instructions. 👍 Thank you for providing this jig. Peace and good fortune and good health to you and your family.
Thanks for this video. It's nice to see a video so well explained, with all the details and also have access to the plans for free. Greetings from Mexico. I already liked it and I have subscribed to your channel.
I'm using the ones from Rockler in the video and they're pretty good. I think I probably like the Snappy countersink set a little better...you can get those from Woodcraft.
2:50 My immediate thought was that you could reorient the bolts 90 degrees so that the long-flat part of the head will be kept in place by the sides of the groove. This would prevent the bolt from spinning inside the groove and possibly make it slide easier. Just a first thought, IDK if it would make it less secure when tightening the clamps.
That is a great thought and I honestly wish it would work that way, but there is hardly any surface area on the sides of the bolt head. All the holding area is on the ends, so turning it perpendicular allows for good holding strength. If the sides had more area, I would definitely do it the way you're saying.
Nice video! Did you buy the hardware in a jig kit or did you buy it all individually? I do not have a jointer and need to be able to join longer pieces so I am looking for a solution. This kind of thing looks doable but it seems like once it gets over 3' it could be hard to handle.
Appreciate the plans Tommy and Did you Build the Miter @11:22 with the flat measured metal surface ? And forgive me of I said it wrong new to wood working in a sense on the terms and names
I've watched a ton of vids on jointer/tapering jigs recently and this is definitely one of the better ones , well explained, clear and concise 👊I have a question: I need to build a jig for jointing edges and was wondering on the overall size/length of the jig with regards to the maximum length of the wood you will be jointing so in my case will be 4ft/1.2m boards so should the the jig be 4ft/1.2m in length? ps thanks for sharing man 🙏
Thanks, Baz. It needs to be long enough to support the workpiece. So, it should be able to slide into the miter slots while the piece is running through the saw. I'm not sure exactly what size it should be, but you could easily test 2 ft and then go up from there, if need be. That's a bit of a hard explanation but I hope that helps.
What size table saw Deck will this work on the best? I have the Metabo HPT 10 inch 36v Table saw with 35 rip on one side and 23 rip on the other side..
I think it works best to cut the base to the width of your table (front to back). Most portable, job site saws are 22", contractor and some cabinet saws are 27", and then some cabinet saws are around 30".
Tommy, this is a jig I definitely need to build! Only problem is.....I've clicked on the plan several times and got your video message to check email. I have 4 other plans that are in progress, but I can't seem to get this one in particular to end up in my email box. Checked Spam, checked Junk. Nowhere. Did you pull it off your site?

and thank you very much again
many greetings from greece
Excellent video, well explained.
That is one of the very best descriptions of how to build a tapering jig and how to use it. Thanks for posting this.
Very kind, thanks so much
Thank you for the plan
Thank you for the plans, Tommy!
Thank you for your ideal of tapering.
I agree with Punta Craft. Best tapering jig ever! Well done! 🇦🇺👴🏻
Thanks!
Great jig. Well explained construction and application. On my ‘jigs to make’ list. Thanks!!
Glad it was helpful!

You made my day....thanks for the kind words
I lOVE this design. Definitely making one!
Go for it and let me know how it goes!

Thanks! 😄
Very well presented, thank you, Wiz 👍🏻
thanks 🤛
Very awesome video very helpful

Thank you for the video and the plans, Tommy! This looks like an excellent tool.Your efforts are much appreciated.
You're very welcome, Michael. Let me know how the jig works for you!
sweet jig, I've never needed to taper anything but I don't have a jointer so I might have to give this one a try.
By the way I've never used a countersink bit, can you recommend one, Tommy?
I'm using the ones from Rockler in the video and they're pretty good. I think I probably like the Snappy countersink set a little better...you can get those from Woodcraft.
Nice! Your plans mention using 5/16 t-bolts, but the plans state to cut a 1/4 inch slot for the fence while the sled is calling for 5/16 slots.
Good catch...I'll make that change. The slot in the fence should be 5/16" wide.
8:57 Dramatic kickback cought on tape!

Great video. Thank you. I am new to woodworking relatively new and I have one question. Can you make that jig if you do not have a router?
Yes, absolutely! The slots can be cut by drilling a hole at each end and then using a jigsaw to cut out the middle part.
@@OutoftheWoodwork Oh ok. That makes sense.
Thanks for answering me.
