Hi Colin this is a huge thank you from an old git in England I’ve been retired 10 years and have taken up woodworking as a hobby and your videos are brilliant as I’m not a trained carpenter but your instructions are clear so keep them coming. I’ve just made your mitre jig and that’s the secret to making things is jigs thanks again from your English supporters

The most practical and perhaps accurate miter jig I've made! Thank you sir.

You are AWESOME Colin!!!!

I need to make this asap....Perfect for easy, quick cuts. Thank you for making it so simple Colin!

Nice! Thank you!💜

Gonna go ahead and do this. Thank you!

Love this!

Thanks Colin! I've watched most of your videos and I appreciate you doing them. Made the miter sled today and its works perfect. Already used it to cut 45's of Spanish cedar for interior lining of cigar humidor. Your an excellent teacher.

I needed this today. Thank you for sharing.

Just WOW!!!!

Thank you Collen !! Nice video

Thanks for the tutorial. I made my own. Tutorials always looks easy, until you decide to get into practice, but I got a very precise result!

Thank you so much !

This is definitely a jig that I need to add to my collection. Thank you for taking the time to produce and share your video and explaining how to make it in simple terms.

As usual, a completely thorough how-to! This one is sending me to "The Dungeon" this morning. Not to cut my picture frame trim, but to first build my new jig! Thank you!

wow, as always you’re a very good teacher and is’t easy to understand for francophone

That’s wonderful Colin, definitely one that I will be making. Thank you. Graham 🇬🇧🇬🇧

Another gem. Thank you sir 👍😎🇦🇺

Another great video. Thanks Colin for sharing 👍 😊

Thank you for sharing this Idea

Thanks Colin! I’ve looked at dozens of ideas for mitre jigs and some are very complex. This is a nice simple one that will do the job perfectly. Just what I was looking for! 👍👍

Colin - thanks for this - really happy with my first frame.. worked like a charm - and much easier to make than the previous one I had tried.. should have known to come to your channel first - thank you again sir

Awesome jig Colin. Great explanation too. You covered all the bases and made it very easy to understand and follow. Thanks for all you do.

I just love all you videos. You have a great setup w/ talking exactly as needed, no disturbing F music and no table saw noise and you are so friendly and smiling, thank you very much.

Nice jig Colin from England

Another brilliant jig that's going into my collection...👍

This is glorious. I have gleaned so much from you over these past few months that my shop is probably starting to look like yours! XD

Well done.

Thanks Colin your tutorials are great you have a really nice way about how you do this. Geoff in the uk

Hi Colin, I am new to woodworking and I thank you very much for the instructional video on the 45° jig. Much thanks.

Great stuff as always Colin. Thanks for that mate.

Pretty cool!!!!

buen trabajo todo un profecional. saludos desde colombia.

I'm glad that you do almost everything on camera so is easier for us the apprentices to learn from your vídeos, thanks a lot

many great ideals

Hi Colin I love all these handy tips that you have been giving helps us newer ones get our work looking great first time round with out having to recut things.🤩 Work safe Shaun

Amazing video! I built a similar version to this and it worked amazing first try! 10/10 recommend this method compared to the overly complicated ones in other videos!

you are simply the father and grandfather that everyone would like

Very useful tool.

Thank you Colin, I was planning to buy a miter saw soon for an upcomming project, now I can hold the purchase a little longer.. ;-) Regards.

Nice jig Colin! Thanks for sharing the video.😎👍JP

You could also put the square against the saw blade to get your 45° angle on the board

i mde my first sled today and then used it n was happy with the accuracy. dusing a dewalt 7845 table saw. then i thought of using it for mitres but then that meant using 45 degree blocks n it just got complicated lol. u have made me now build another one purely for picture frames. the frustration ive gone through trying to get all 4 to match is beyond . ive tried mitre saw. digital angle finders. my set sqaure and many other tricks and the best ive got is 3 corners perfect and one with a gap in. i glue them tight with the clamp strap that stanley sell. if the sled is a success then i will redo some of the ones on my wall.

Verifique todo está muy bien Saludos desde Venezuela. Dios les bendiga siempre

Calidad me gustó mucho voy hacer la mía. Saludos desde Venezuela. Dios les bendiga siempre

I really like your design, Colin. Thanks for sharing : )

Excellent work / Jig there Col excellent job mate.

Every video I enjoy. Very nice.......Thanks

Going downstairs to make it this morning! Most straightforward process I've seen yet! The way you install your runners one at a time, made me slap my forehead! It seems so obvious once you see it done!

A great little bit of kit. Will definately be making one Thanks for the inspiratioj

Clamps can substitute magnets. love your videos. TY

Very nice and good job. I like that you left the “oh oh” in there, makes me feel better about myself as I do those boo boos constantly when making things. Respect Colin. Thank you

Simplicity at its finest...

A very handy jig Colin ! Nice job mate ! Cheers, Bram

Very nice.

As always a fantastic video! It got me thinking though, I wonder if adding some angled (say 45 degree) removable facing boards to the front of the fence you could do compound miter cuts for that “ole time” type of compound miter frame. Of course, assembling the frame for glue up and jointing would involve constructing another favorite of us folks, A JIG! Just a little food for thought.

Great Jig Colin. It might seem an extra expense of a few $$$ but they are real handy are the brass studs that screw on to your framing square (used when marking out a staircase rise and fall)

This kind of sled is very difficult to grasp the angle. Thank you for teaching.

Colin, I have found that i NEED to check to see if YOU have a video on something I want to build, because you usually have the better plan. (!)

Beleza!show!

Damn some common sense. Thanks

Colin, after trying the William Ng method and being frustrated (my fault I'm sure) I tried your method to make a mitre sled and I couldn't be happier with the results. I had 60 flat panel doors to make for two kitchens both required mitred joinery (with biscuits). I have made stairs before so I had a set of the two clamps to attach to the framing square. and wow what an easy application to a problem with perfect 90 degree joints. thanks so much for the time you share with us mere mortal woodworkers. Tom. btw I also used the Merle clamps that were recommended by Matt Jackson of Next level carpentry which worked out perfectly. Highly recommend them when mitering.

Ok! I have plywood, a carpenter's square, and French's Mustard, and I'm ready to build it!

Love the way you laugh sir 😂

I think I would route slots through those fences so I could use 6mm bolts to hold the stop blocks in place. Bugger finding a clamp when needed.

Neat aeroplane, I mean mitre jig, mate👍

Don't forget a relief rabbit joint along the fence to reduce interference from saw dust. Some peel and stick sand paper on the fence would really help hold your material in place. I would also suggest some kind of T-slot so that you can use stop blocks instead of a clamp.

Nice video ! does it works for wide board too? I mean that you don't need to use your sliding miter saw ...

whether you cut all pieces from the same side or from opposite sides, all should fit together correctly. if it fails either test, rebuild the jig. half right will get the job done but mistakes can be made. you only have to build it once anyway (hopefully :>)

Remind me never to eat hamburgers or hot dogs in your shop. I wouldn't want to grab that mustard bottle!😝 Keep up the great videos!

stair guages on your square work better than the magnets

👍👍.

Nice and simple! Question: How would you cut longer pieces for larger picture frames?

Your explanation to layout the 45 Deg angle was a bit brief, think I'd find another way. Also whilst 45 Deg is the most common it'd be nice to be able to cut different angles.

What a great gig. Where can I purchase the runners it look like they are a plastic type material?

Might be an unrelated question but I have acquired a mustard bottle that I intend to use for glue like you do. How did you get the mustard smell out of your glue bottle? Did you even concern yourself with the smell?

Hi Colin, so you don't trust your carpenter's square to be 45 degrees but do rely on the markings on your framing square??

I’m doing something wrong. Followed this to the letter and still can’t get tight corners. 4 times a fraction of a degree equals an annoying gap on the last corner. Been trying to perfect miters for years and always ent up bodging them in the end. Close to despair! I’ll keep trying though🙂

Colin: What type of plastic did you use for the runners? Is it that HDPE material I have read about? I have a miniature table saw and the miniature cross cut sleds I have made with conventional wood for runners is just not working well.

A suggestion on getting the 45 degree angle right. Start with a base that is a rectangle with 90 degree square corners. Install the slot runner so the front edge of the base is 90 degrees to the blade. Cut an upright piece about 4 inches longer than needed and place it in position such that both ends extend off the edges of the base. Attach the end away from the blade to the base with a screw. Swing the upright until both legs of the triangle it forms to the base are equal. Screw it down. You have a right angle triangle on the base with two equal length legs. By definition the corner angles are each 45 degrees. Trim off the center part of the upright with the table saw. Install the second upright using a framing square and measured 90 degrees to the first upright.

Great video Colin, but you have to do something about that dandruff... ;)

Is no one going to comment on the mustard bottle full of glue lol. Just thought that was good for a laugh mid video lol

I cut all of my sleds on a cnc. Dead accurate, miter or not.

Always have enjoy your videos (for years) and I'm not a troll, but why have the piece hanging over the front of the jig? that seems to me to not support the underside fibers and allow the piece to get tear out on the underside.

Why is it that everyone uses such thick plywood to make their sled? If you had put your second runner on a thinner sheet of ply wood that would reinforce it
