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.

Love the old skwl jigs. A man after my own heart. Gr8 video

Just started to watch your videos and just like to say thank you for spending your time making these very informative videos.

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

A follow up tool holder/tool box video would be excellent. Great work, all the best 😀

Great video mate, you can’t beat a good jig!

Hi Dell Another great video. Love watching you. You should get an apprentice with all your knowledge you have to pass on. Catch up with you soon mate.

Great ideas - will try and copy some of those.

some great jigs. brilliant video

Del, I love the mitre saw supports mate.

Hi TTC, you know i just click thumbs up before you even start talking. Thanks again. So informative.

Good stuff its a shame KZfaq 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.

Amazing how scrap turns into pure genius. Great stuff mate and a great inspiration to humble DIYers like me.

Hi Del, another interesting video. very interesting

Just brilliant, each one started I started with a quizical frown and ended with a smile and a note to make one of those.

Hi Del cracking video door wedges all day long, cracking jigs to make life easier all the best Tony 👍

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

Top video again del thanks 👍

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 👍

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.

Can't beat using jigs and gadgets like they say work smarter not harder keep up the good work 👍

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

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 del, Thanks for showing the jigs that you , very informative and very useful, keep posting. Cheers Dave

Got to make all these little bits to help the job a lot easier 👍👍👍👍

Love it TC! What carpenter doesn't love making jigs/working aids, I know I do!

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. 🙄. 👊🏻

Great ideas cheers

Absolutely brilliant, really enjoyed this!

brilliant set up on the chop saw Thanks TC

Valuable tips!

♥️ the storage box for skill Saw, straight into my garage to make 1,🖖 Mad how necessity is the Mother of invention 🤣

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. 👍👍

All great ideas 💡 👌🏼🧱👍🏽

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 😁

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,,🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Nice Del dont forget about the bench hook and dowel jig brilliant skill thanks from a retired failed joiner

That door stand is 🤯 , I got one of the plastics door holders works a treat

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 👍🏻👊🏻👍🏻

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!👍

briliant!

great video, + that saw box could double up as a bird box .................

8 & 9 are a brilliant idea... i shall get them made for my stand too as i have the same one...

Thanks Del now I've got to make some more jigs for me poor van haha great job mate as usual all the best

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!

Thanks !!!!

Great video, thanks !!

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!!!

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

Nice video, will you make a video showing how you do you’re saw horses. 👍

Single hindge jig and latch jig for the router is one that we've always got kicking around the van although the skelloton jig is brilliant if your hanging a goof few

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!

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 😁🤟☘️🇮🇪👋

Can't beat a bit of giggy giggy for the weekend 😋 👌 😀

Very interesting video 👍

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?

Wedge jig is similar to mine but I have a 'hood' to prevent the wedges wanting to lift as they're being cut.

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.

Quality vid del but you missed a vital jig .. the door lining jig for keeping all the heads level 👌🏼👍🏻

Nice Del👍👍

Nice jigs,better bike 🤩

Top tips & jigs Del. I see the bikes in the background, are they yours?

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 🤣🤣🤣👍🏻

Put my line on a spanner best thing I did.

Mountain biker are we?

why are you so tall?
