I've had the jig since it came out and love it, but I have a recommendation. Make a series of 3 jig plates where all the bowties are the same size. That way I can cut a series of bowties that are the same size without having to move the jig.
Hey Cam, we find the plastic snap on lidded boxes from Indian restaurant takeaways are great for keeping sanding dust…and when you open them you get a smell of spices and wood. Win win
Hi Cam, love your videos! Thank you. I think it's important to explain that bowties are stronger when made with horizontal grain. Grain should not be perpendicular to the bowtie, it will crack easily.
I think it’s funny how in some of your videos you state how you’re pushing 40 years old, and how it’s difficult for you as a one-man shop to move your builds around. But all I could see this entire video was how ripped you are. Btw great work and great clear video.
Great video. I was wondering if you ever put a dovetail in and sand it flush and smooth and then a few days later you can feel the edges of the dovetail?
This is a fantastic jig, and rockler ships to Hungary! The only problem is that the shipping is more expensive than the starter set. :( As a hobbyst this is too much for me. The only way for me is to make a bleuprint from scratch and find a turner to make one for me.
Does the bowtie jig help with improving my bicep vascularity to be more like yours? If so, I'll take 2, one for each bicep. All seriousness... great video and very helpful!
Would it be advisable to set my depth too deep ( I know, keep with me) and then slice the Bow Tie so you end up with a couple of Bow Ties per one template? (Cut 1 inch into wood, then when sliced free of board could be sliced twice so you have two 1/2 inch Bow Ties ready to be used from the 1 inch Bow Tie original cut).
You should make a jig to make chess or checker boards. Walnut with black epoxy and a Rubio finish. You could use either inlays or epoxy. If you do not have that jig are there companies to will do polycarbonate or lexan on a cnc machine?
I really love your bow tie jig! BUT….it would be so much more efficient and useful if it have multiple cutouts for the same size bow tie! I just used it to make a bunch of bow ties for a really great looking live edge table….but doing these one….at….a….time….takes forever. Wish you would offer a larger template with multiple cutouts.
Hi! I ordered one on the 11th of November. Can't wait to receive it! What is the lead time on these? Also, is there a way to check tracking for updates? Thanks for the videos, long time subscriber.
ok help please. I just bought the rockler bowtie jig templates. used them tonight. my freaking keys are 1/16 smaller on all sides than the damn mortise! holding it as tight as possible when cutting the keys. what am I doing wrong???
Hey man I’m 16 and I’m gonna start my own business making tables following ur course thanks for all the vids ur the man maybe we can email and u can help me scale my business if your too busy I get it anyway have a good day man keep up the great content excited to take ur course
Just received my jigs yesterday. Thanks for taking to time to do a "how to" video. Can't wait to use them.
For sure man! Hope you like it!
Ordered mine a few days ago and appreciate the “how-to”. I’m thinking of making these for Christmas presents to be worn like a normal bow-tie 😂
I was thinking the same thing! I have a cousin that rocks a bow tie and was envisioning a well patterned spalted maple.
Oh man, I love that idea!

Nice and simple. Informative as always. Love your work. 👍🏻
This was awesome! Most videos just assume you know how to use the jigs. Thanks for the info.

Not what I was expecting when I clicked on a Johnny sins “How to”
I like as a pro you show your message & how to fix it 👍🏻
I bought the template and love it. Makes it simple and quick.
Cant wait to try mine! Great how to video
Duh jig with it fresh ASD

You can also add some glue around the edges when you sand to fill any gaps.
Can you let us know what vacuum clamp you use? I can’t seem to find one that would mount to the edge of my workstation.

Absolutely. 100% vascularity improvement or your money back
Hey Cam, I have your jig, and can't wait to use it. My question, though, what are the calipers you are using? I love the fact they display fractions!
Super nice video

Cam, can you use a 1/4" 1+1 compression bit instead of a 1/8" bit? Hope to see you on the 30th for a Maker Meetup.
great video, thank you! :)

hey Cam, love the video, i am in Australia and want these. can i get them?
Hi Cam
Greats videos (both of your channels). Guess you are not shipping overseas, example Sweden? Have a great one!
@Cam, any possibilities shipping overseas?
Cam,
I ordered the wishbone/wine table jig. Is there a video for those jigs. I realize this video is all I need. Just curious
Hey Cam, loved the video. Will be ordering my jig shortly. Can you tell me where you got the lumber racks on the wall? Thanks
Will a random orbital sander risk chipping the piece?
Excellent!
If use normal superglue to harden fast use backing powder
Hi Cam - when are you able to ship to Australia ? Tried to order however no option.
Can you use a 1:4 inch bit instead?
Please tell me what type of cutter is used, for metal or wood, size in mm

Hey man! We are 3-4 weeks right now. But trying to bump up the efficiency of the shipping.
Are there better ways to adhere it to the surface?
Where can I purchase the snap on bushings?
ok help please. I just bought the rockler bowtie jig templates. used them tonight. my freaking keys are 1/16 smaller on all sides than the damn mortise! holding it as tight as possible when cutting the keys. what am I doing wrong???
