Hi Tony👊Looking at this selection of jigs and gadgets made me realise how many I've made over the years for different things, that I've thrown away after or left on site😵 Thanks for watching bud, and have a great week😎
Clicked for the title, video did not disappoint. Your jigs are great, I have similar cobbled together oddly shaped and marked pieces, that nobody else would figure out.
Hi Bob. That's very decent of you mate, and I appreciate you watching and its great that you find the videos interesting😎Have a great weekend👍Cheers Del
Brilliant as I work alone I too make jigs on site to make work easy.Thats why we love carpentry and have to be thinking all the time .Jobs always throw challenges at us
You're spot on Mohammed👊 Its got to be good for our brain health, thinking and getting over problems🤩 Thanks for watching mate, and have a great weekend😎 Cheers Del
Good stuff its a shame TH-cam does not allow us to post pictures of our jigs. The trim gauge made me chuckle , for 30 odd years I lived and worked in North Wales where nail on door stops dont exist ! Three years ago I moved back to Essex and was perplexed when I was faced with them . So perplexed that when I went for a visit I brought some proper door casings back with me more expensive but my customers love them.
Hi Kevin🖐I guess that's the difference between a door casing and a door lining🤔 Personally I think casings look like a better job, or at least linings with wide stops fitted👍Great comment and thanks for watching 😎 Cheers Del
Certainly wasn't boring...very interesting indeed to see the little trick and jigs that can save you time on site..keep the vids coming enjoying them all...Cheers
Thanks for your kind words Arthur🤩I've actually realised, reading through some of the wonderful comments, that the jigs and gadgets I've shown in this video are only a small selection of all the ones I've made over the years, as many of them get left on the job or are specific to one particular task that I'm not likely to do again for a long time😬Thanks for watching bud, and have a nice weekend😎Cheers Del
@@thetallcarpenter not so long ago..(10 years).I was fitting solid oak worktops. Couldn't hire a draining groove jig from anywhere. So I made one from some old ply. Still going strong now. Just shows the integrity and ability we have in us to overcome any problems or issues
@@tompenneck1501 Great effort in making a draining board jig Tom, and cool that its still serving you well👊I think carpenters are excellent problem solvers, and this part of the job keeps us all sharp🤘Cheers
Hi Paul🤩 I had been meaning to make a set for years and years, and finally had a few bits of suitable wood kicking about, so made some. Didn't take too long, and I love it every time I use them🤗 Thanks for your comment 😎 Cheers Del
Evening Del, Can’t beat making a gadget to make our lives that much easier. Like the timber screwed to the horse..🙌🏻. My horse is a bit younger than yours, however it’s had 5 new legs and 3 new tops. 🙄. 👊🏻
Really enjoyed this one mate . It makes you appreciate what a great job we are in where you are constantly evolving and coming up with ways to make our working lives easier .... Keep em coming ! Thank you 👍
I really like those supports for the mitre saw bench, I'm going to copy you for mine. one thing that I find I make quite often along those lines is a stop so I can do repeatable cuts. Perhaps I'll screw a batten to those things and cramp it down. Thanks for the inspiration. 👍👍
Great Stuff Del, and great for any young fellas to see this...and old . I like the miter saw stand supports and im goin to make them ...great idea. The wedge jig is a classic ,yours is neat and tidy . The trim gauge for the arcs is a must for chippies. I do my door stands a bit differently .I use two 5'' rips of ply about 18'' high sandwiched vertically about 60mm apart between two 3x2s on edge (about 16" long ) ...all edges rounded. .When you lay your standard door into the 60mm gap on the stand you just give them a tap with your foot to send them 45 degrees or so to the door ...one stand on either end of the door will hold it up firmly .It'll also hold the door standing vertically or even a sheet of ply on horizontally . The 60mm gap between the plys is to accommodate a 1hr fire door . I was carrying my first set of stands around for 20 years until they met a skip by the hand of a G.O. Anyways.....enjoyed the video Del.
You've just saved me a lot of time and a bit of money. I have been meaning to make a couple of clip on wings for my chopsaw stand to get over the same problem as you but after seeing the supports you made 👌its a no brainer, im going to make a pair when i get an early finish. Thanks Del keep em coming mate👍👍👍All the best Phill
Hi Phill. I'm glad its not just me that encounters this problem😆Once you've made yourself a pair, you'll wonder how you did without them🤯Thanks for watching and your great comment😎Cheers Del
Yes the home made jigs they are so useful. I used to operate a spindle moulder in a cabinetry shop. The old fella that taught me had a jig for everything. All home made out of scraps of wood. A bigger version of your wedge jig usually hinged so you can vary the angle is good for tapered table legs etc. On site I make various routing jigs. Mortice door locks. Hinges. Any routed repetitive cuts. You can buy all sorts of circular saw sleds for ripping and of course today you have track saws. Many years ago before all these I wanted a way of doing quick easily set up cuts on sheeting. So I welded up my own extended rip fences. I can cut any rip I want on a 1200 wide sheet quick and accurate with them and cost next to nothing. About the most useful offcut of wood is the humble wedge. You showed some uses but there are hundreds. When I lay deck boards I don't fix as I go particularly if at height. I will fix ends to a measurement and to keep everything in place but then just keep cutting and laying in boards. It soon gives you somewhere to stand and makes the job easier. When I screw off I then work the boards to measurements and use a wedge to get my spacings. I always keep a small hardwood wedge in my tool bag and bigger ones in the back of the Ute. Those saw stands whilst compact are pretty useless. A lot have them here. The guy I work with every day has the same one as you. Just annoys me. You don't have this model in the UK but I use a Tommy Tucker saw bench. Look that up on the internet. The saw sits low so the top of the bed is the level of the bench. Two big extension wings support a 5.4M length of timber. And for repetitive cuts there are solid adjustable stops. I have had mine for years one of the best tools I ever bought.
Hi Dave. What an awesome comment, and great to read down🤩 Reading it made me realise just how many wooden jigs and gadgets I've made for so many different things that I don't actually end up keeping😬I'm going to check out the Tommy Tucker bench though, as it sounds great👊Thanks for watching mate, and have great weekend😎Cheers Del
Hi Del 🤩 Great video, it’s like being given permission to look in another carpenters tool box. When I started it was all hush hush trade secret. I feel exposed 🤣 when I was an apprentice (25y/a) he got me to make a yolk for the doors it was a 4x2 with a gap in the middle wide enough for a fire door and a wedge cut of one end to hold a 35mm door. I like your 22mm door gap trick, I have varied every door I have ever hung I think🤣🤣 have a good weekend mate 👍 and I love the nerdy chippy stuff 😁
Thanks for your great comment Dan🤩TH-cam is awesome at letting people share stuff like this, and with comments like yours and others, it really makes it feel like the sharing is a two way street🤗Thanks for watching mate, and have a great weekend😎
Great stuff Del, fantastic topic making a jig can so increase your work flow, and saves you having to keep measuring every time, story stick layout next time, keep your knowledge flowing to us all great content can’t wait for next vid 👍🏻👊🏻👍🏻
Hi ChipO 🖐 I finally got round to knocking up those additional supports after years of smaller cuts falling on the floor😵 Thanks for watching😎Cheers Del
Hi DEL,,in Glasgow we make ( or used to) our saw horses a bit different,,usually out of a length of flooring ,,with a long box section at the bottom to store ,,nails, screws,tools,,ect,,same principle though,,🏴🏴
Tremendous video as ever, Big Yin! When it comes to jigs, well, you can never be too geeky. Got a cladding job next week and will be knocking up one of those clever spacers. Just replaced my dead Hitachi cordless circular saw with the excellent, and very reasonably priced, Makita DSS610z, and was thinking about making some kind of storage box to keep it safe. I've been using the 36v doofer for over a year now, and TBH, it's just a bit of a beast to hump around all day unless you really need the extra horsepower. Again, big thanks for taking the time to share!👍
Hi there🖐I've got a 190mm DeWALT Flexvolt 54v saw, and its an absolute weapon, but, as you say, these saws can be quite unwieldy to use all day, and that's why I keep that little Makita close to hand😉 Hope you get on well with your cladding job next week👊Great comment, and thanks for watching😎Cheers Del
Hi Jimmy. I could do a video when I next make a pair of saw horses, but its pretty much the same as the way Robin Clevett made a pair on SkillBuilder 👍Thanks for watching😎Cheers Del
thanks for the video Del, you kinda have read my mind, I wanted to ask you about the shim jig since I saw that in a video some time ago and now I know! :) great jigs, I have a featherboard jig as well with screw mark locations added to it as well (for holes that are in clear sight). love the saw horse addition for doors, gonna make something like that as well! I have the same dewalt stand and I get the frustration, I normally move the saw to the right for that. Thanks for some food for thought and have a great weekend!!!
Great comment Tom🤩 The DeWalt saw stand marked a massive leap forward for me in terms of making my work life easier👍 Glad you found the video interesting, and thanks for watching😎 Have a great weekend
Hi Del, like the jigs have very similar ones , did you have a good day at the tool show , have to agree about WBP it's not what it used to be , think their using the old animal glue in the cheaper ply , that Burger and chips looked good 😁🤟☘️🇮🇪👋
Hi John. I had an absolute blast with the A&E gang, and they are all great guys🤩🤩 Yeah, most of us know how poor the general grade ply is nowadays, and yes, that burger was yum🍔😎Thanks for watching and have a great weekend
hi del I love watching your videos , there really interesting and helpful ! I know your friend Paul swannel from abboutsley I do a bit of work for him ! keep up the good work ! if u ever need an extra pair of hands give me a shout would love to learn more carpentry ! have been doing it for 7 years now ! not afraid to admit I don't know everything!
A tool box video would be great, I got fed up of tool bags a few years ago and made a plywood box which is just tall enough to stand a hammer upright in - also means all the screwdrivers, chisels etc can all be upright in racks and readily available, no more rummaging. But the nicest thing is that the extra height makes it into a mini workbench - I can easily rest a timber on it and have enough clearance underneath for a handsaw. Sorry for the rambling comment!
I love reading great comments like yours Billy🤩I think making a custom tool box like you've done is really cool and, as you've explained, you cam make it exactly to suit how you want to store/use your tools👍Your comment has made me think about my Stanley tool tote, which is ok but, there is a lot of stuff in there and I do have to 'rummage' around in there sometimes🤪Thanks for watching and your great comment😎Cheers Del
Number 1 is a brilliant simple idea would it be worth taking out a shallow dado it it to allow the door to drop into help stop it slipping side way's. I've also the wedge making jig I add a small bit of clear perspex raised just above the thickness of the wedge to stop the back of the blade kicking it up as it passes. Thanks
Hi there. Great shout on cutting a dado the same thickness of the door in the trestle attachment😎 And definitely a good idea fitting the perspex shield to the wedge jig, as the can get spat out sometimes👍 Great comment🤩 Cheers Del
Hi Garviel 🖐 Hope you are well mate👊 I'm glad you liked those little gadgets, and I'm really not ready to show inside the tin yet😵 Thanks for watching 😎
need to make me a jig for my table saw for making wedges. normally mark and cut em with a circular saw but they end up all slightly different obviously.
Hi Sa. You're right, I forgot all about that one, as the labourer on that particular job burnt it🥵 I will make another one though👍Thanks for watching😎Cheers Del

Nooice! Thanks or sharing - Each one of them is brilliant. 5, 8 & 9 are priceless.
P.S did you tell us what was in the Golden Virginia tin?
Hi Garviel 🖐 Hope you are well mate👊 I'm glad you liked those little gadgets, and I'm really not ready to show inside the tin yet😵 Thanks for watching 😎

Wedge jig is similar to mine but I have a 'hood' to prevent the wedges wanting to lift as they're being cut.
That sounds like a great addition to your jig bud, as they can get flung up when they pass the back of the saw blade😵Thanks for watching😎
need to make me a jig for my table saw for making wedges. normally mark and cut em with a circular saw but they end up all slightly different obviously.
Hi Paul. I find that little jig great for wedge making and you can adapt it to make any shape wedges you like🤩 Thanks for watching bud😎
Very interesting video 👍
Cheers Tyler🤩 Thanks for watching mate and have a great weekend😎
@@thetallcarpenter you too bud
Thanks !!!!
Cheers bud🤩and thanks for watching
Quality vid del but you missed a vital jig .. the door lining jig for keeping all the heads level 👌🏼👍🏻
Hi Sa. You're right, I forgot all about that one, as the labourer on that particular job burnt it🥵 I will make another one though👍Thanks for watching😎Cheers Del
Nice Del👍👍
Thanks for watching Peter🤩 Have a great weekend bud😎
@@thetallcarpenter you to Del☺
Top tips & jigs Del. I see the bikes in the background, are they yours?
Hi Barry. Yes, one is my wife's and the others are mine👍I'm a very keen mountain biker and get out at least twice a week. It keeps me fit and I love bombing down hill/mountain sides🤟🤟 Thanks for watching 😎
@@thetallcarpenter great stuff Del. I’ve raced/ridden most of my life but mostly road & track. I’ve been out for a swift 50 mile on the road bike this morning.
@@barryford7135 Road riding is king in my neck of the woods, and I used to do loads of it until I got side swiped and that put me off a bit😬
@@thetallcarpenter yeah, you certainly have to have your wits about you. My bike handling skills have got me out of trouble a few times. I have a mtb but don’t use it much, tend to go out on my gravel/cross bike if I go off road.
@@barryford7135 😎😎🚲
Nice jigs,better bike 🤩
You spotted the bike then Mark🤓 Its an absolute weapon and my first electric bike👍 It makes the whole ride fun, not just the downhill bits🤘🤘 Cheers
@@thetallcarpenter electric getting more popular, I'll be looking myself soon, I've a few bikes, my go to bike for now is my Titanium gravel bike, Sram etap shifting and tubeless, love it, best of both worlds. 👍
@@markrobinson1458 Gravel bikes are awesome, and yours sounds proper lush🤘🤘They make real sense in flatter parts of the country, and a few of my mates have got them🤩 Titanium🤯Cheers Del
No 3/4 is a bit like Trigger’s broom: I’ve had it for ages but every time I lose it I make another 🤣🤣🤣👍🏻
You are clearly a person of culture Tony with the Triggers broom reference🤩 Thanks for your comment, and for watching😎
Mountain biker are we?
I absolutely love it Glen🤩 I get over to Wales whenever I can, as well as the Alps at least once a year🤘 Just bought an ebike which is an absolute blast at trail centres😎 Thanks for watching bud
Put my line on a spanner best thing I did.

Hi PP🖐Not really sure, to be honest🤔I think it comes from my fathers side🤩Cheers
