Thank you! I’m very glad to see you making videos again, yours are among the very few for which I will stop whatever I’m doing to watch as soon as I receive the notification.
Your videos are the very best and I always view them. My table saw sled is dead on thanks to you. I wish you were closer to me as I would love to take your wood working class. Thanks again.
Good to have you back! I use a lot of composite flooring for table saw jigs. It's very dimensional, durable, slippery, and easy to work. Use plywood and pine to hold stuff together, but I haven't found any affordable alternative that works as well.
Hey Mr. Ng! I really love your videos and love how well you explain things so it's easy to learn! I was wondering what would you do if the fence sides weren't square once you clamp it up with the big clamp and before you nail it?
I made this yesterday for my cheap Aldi Table Saw and am delighted with the outcome. With regards to clamping, I don`t have a long reach clamp so, I cut extra strips of the narrow wood and slotted them into the top space between the faces at 90degs - this enabled me to use my clamps without worrying about them pulling the `face` out of 90deg to the saw bed. Thanks for the vid
Yay! I love your videos William! Thanks for sharing with us. p.s. I've always thought I could make it in the hand modeling field. Can I get your agents name? :-D
I thoroughly enjoy your videos. The instruction is clear and accurate, and your projects are beautiful. Your sense of humour is fantastic. Love your work all round.
Another great video. We find that a slight angle on the nail gun when firing nails creates a dovetail effect preventing any risk of nails pulling straight out. Hope that helps.👍
William, I very much enjoy each one of your ‘how to’ videos. Always precise. I e learned very much. In this video you made a small reference to cutting the rabbet ( 7/8” x 1/4”) in the fence jig. Is there another video which I ve missed where you provide more detail on its use/application? Thank you.
Mr. Ng Yours are the most entertaining and informative videos that I watch here on TH-cam. I look forward to each new video but I also watch whatever pops up, such as this one. I know I’ve seen this one several times and I enjoy it each time. Thank you.
Like your videos. Very Helpful. Also. I was in the Marines with an Ng. Amazing Marine to look up to...Probably no relation to you but found your name as a great Memory...

good afternoon, very good videos very well explained, but I have to copy the subtitle and translate it into Spanish ... I have looked for how to enable the subtitle in Spanish. can you do it ?? ... thanks
My original fence got wet and was not salvageable, I tried to attach an H style fence by screwing self tapping screws into the square tube which gave me a good solid connection but not square. Would you think removing it and building a floating one like this onto a square metal tube only about an 1 1/2 would give enough stability? I'm not sure why you made the dado at the end does it reference from another video?
MrSawdust85222 I think so he can drop it on as shown. otherwise it would bind. He could have said just add an 8th to the length but if you had a tall fence that wouldn't be enough. Unless I'm wrong, in which case I want the answer as well.
Instead of making it close to 0.002" the width of the fence, I think better is to make it wider, to 0.02 inch for easier fitting. Cut two 2.5 to 3 inch holes in conjunction with two holddown (or toggle) clamps for clamping. Then it will be a tight fit without the need to limit back and forth movement, due to friction.
Nice work, as always, William. Since I have a Delta Unifence, I adapt differently. Maybe some day I'll change it for a Biesemeyer but after 25+ years I have designed various jigs for my fence that serve me well. Most proud of my simple mortise and tenon jig built from scrap wood and PVC board, except for a pair of hold down clamps. Unrelated to this video - and hope you are still monitoring this - what brand/model is your roll-up extension cord? From various videos you've done, it appears that you have had at least two different ones. I've looked at some big-box products but all have bad reviews and too-low amperage (16- or 18- or 20-ga. cords). I'd want to cover 15-amp circular saws, sanders, etc. that will last a good many years. Thanks.
For a guy who measures wood with dial calipers; it is impressive to see you say that a small gap in a glue up "doesn't really matter" when it's a non-functional dimension. I wish more people understood that slop makes life easier when you have the room for it.
Great video, but I really don't see the need for the deep throated clamp if you're gluing and nailing it to the center piece on top of your fence, it already should be a pretty snug fit therefor the nails should align it. Thank you.
Wow. Accidental ran across your videos William and subscribed immediately. Had the pleasure of taking one of your classes a good while ago and it really opened my eyes to what was "fine" woodworking. I would highly recommend them to anyone interested in refining whether new or experienced. Glad to see you are doing well. Regards, Philip K.
Just wanted to thank you for posting this. I put it to good use recently when I put 1/2 wood strips around the perimeter of 10 cabinet doors to match some 70 era cabinet doors made with lumbercore plywood with a finger pull edge all the way around. You have made a great contribution to woodworking with your channel. Thanks.
Great videos William. Thank You. How many inches of clamping throat do you need for a 7" tall jig? If the tick mark is 3" up wouldn't 4" or so be enough?
can you / would you use this as an upgrade to the fence that comes with a contractor saw? I have a Rigid contractor saw, I have not been able to justify the expense of a full-size table saw as a beginner woodworker. The fence on my Rigid is not rigid at all and usually, the outfeed end is 1/16" to 1/8" off of the infeed end. any help would be greatly appreciated.
Rafael H What did you do about the fence of your table saw? I have a cheap Stanley table saw and its fence is its weakest part because it's never parallel to the blade by itself. I'm looking for a design of a fence that I can adapt to my table saw. I think I just got a couple of ideas from this video.
Hello Mr. Ng, you have really opened my mind up to so much more about woodworking. Your videos are very educational, cover so many aspects of operating a great shop and also very entertaining with your smart humor. I hope you are able to post more content as I really enjoy and appreciate your videos. One day I’ll work up the courage to sign up for one of your classes since I’m local. Take care my friend and be safe!
Very nice build and excellent video with clear directions. I especially like the little segment on your Felder Saw. My Delta Unifence rail is almost identical (in shape, at least), so I now have an option for some fence upgrades. The fence is very accurate, but the shape limits the add-ons. Thanks much for the tips. Just subbed your channel. ATB
@@wnwoodworks thank you for the quick response. Now I know! That will be very useful for me and a much safer way to trim. I sympathize for your lost. I also lost my mom, she was 94 1/2. I miss her.
Question on your table saw sled... Is there any "science" that determines how much sled you allow on the right and left of the blade, or is it purely an arbitrary dimension? Figured I'd ask so i don't have to make another one due to an oversight. Thanks again William!
There's no science. I off set it 1-3/4" toward the fence to eliminate dead spot, that's all. As for the overall size of the sled, I would make it as big as you can handle and depending on the type of woodworking you do. Hope this helps.
Nice build, where do you get those deep throat clamps? I have been looking for them for pressing inlays in my cutting boards and the deepest I can find are 5 1/2. Where did you find them?
One place is the Bessey Clamp CO: www.besseytools.com/en/product_details.php?ASIMOID=000000010003892e00020023&ASIMOID_SC=000000000001f21d00030023&ASIMOID_MC=000000000001f3f000030023
I thought it was for dust channel, but scrolling through the old comments, I found Mr. Ng's own answer (2 years old): It's for flush trimming. I have a video explaining all the different uses. th-cam.com/video/AddH8IgL7wY/w-d-xo.html
Hey that is exactly the answer I was looking for. I could spend a little less now making jigs and then when it warps I will end up buying better plywood. You answer saved me time and money. Thanks
Nice jig, I will make sure to build one when I get around to finish off my table saw build. I do have one question though, you use the diagonal measure of the fence front / back as the length of the jig and then you added 1/8" for movement, why did you use the diagonal measure and not just the straight length measure? If you add 1/8" to the length for 'slop' then why not just use the real length + slop?
The clue is in the shot where he fits it over his existing fence. He lowers the far end of the jig first, until it rests on the table top, then lowers the near end. It therefore has to clear the diagonal length of the fence with a bit of clearance to make an easy fit. If it was sized to suit the horizontal (non-diagonal) length, the added 1/8” may or may not be sufficient to allow it to be fitted and removed in this manner. Without adequate diagonal length plus clearance, it could only be fitted by carefully lowering it down while attempting to keep it approximately horizontal - a much more ‘fiddly’ task. And the same applies to removing it. Taking the method of fitting and removing it into account is a mark of the genius that William is.
I, too, am a hand model when I am not painting homes. I wonder what do you do to keep your hands so soft? Any secrets? Palmolive? Bahhhaaaa!!!! Thanks again for sharing your art!
Thank you so much... I appreciate you getting back me, as well as all that you do for us.... I've watched the previous video and understand fully. Be well.
Thank you William for sharing this simple jig. I built it a few weeks ago and already it is indispensable.
Thank you! I’m very glad to see you making videos again, yours are among the very few for which I will stop whatever I’m doing to watch as soon as I receive the notification.
About the glue up, do you think a strap clamp around the middle would work if we don’t have deep clamps like yours?
Your videos are the very best and I always view them. My table saw sled is dead on thanks to you. I wish you were closer to me as I would love to take your wood working class. Thanks again.

Wonderful
why measuring diagonaly for the lenght?
Because the jig is dropped onto the fence diagonally. Front end first, then the back drops down. Needs that length for internal clearance....
Had to think about it but now it makes sense
I need to make my portable saw fence better
"super hand model"😂😂🤣🤣
Outstanding vids William. MUCH appreciated.
Super Hand Model??? - Bwahahaha. Your sense of humour is so dry you could use it as a dehumidifier - *cough*
Idea: One can make a push stick, that hooks over the custom made fence.

Unless I'm wrong, in which case I want the answer as well.
Right, after thinking about I figured it out. Has to do with the arc when installing it.
What material did you use for this jig?
3/4" Baltic Birch Plywood
Instead of making it close to 0.002" the width of the fence, I think better is to make it wider, to 0.02 inch for easier fitting. Cut two 2.5 to 3 inch holes in conjunction with two holddown (or toggle) clamps for clamping. Then it will be a tight fit without the need to limit back and forth movement, due to friction.
