I am a legally blind wood worker and this idea excites me a lot for the safety factor. I will have to reinvent it a little for my use, but the possibilities are quite exciting to me.

Brilliant, Simple, inexpensive and Effective John...... however I’m not surprised when things like this come from you.....

The spring part of the featherboard is pure genius! Makes me wonder what will "spring" from the mind of John Heisz next !! (see what I did there? lol) Thanks for the video, John !

That is the first feather board I’ve seen that I like in all aspects; simple and functional with no fudging around. Brilliant. I think I’m done using my commercial and homemade feather boards. Thanks!

Hello friends. let us be grateful to our friend who posted this video sharing knowledge. It doesn't cost anything to like and make a simple comment. It is the least we can do in gratitude for his work. thank you!

Feather board but also as a safety feature. Acts as a guard too ! Making mine tomorrow morning. Thks John for this idea.

For me the best woodworking channel so far...thanks for the inspiration. God bless you

Neat Idea. My Table Saw has an Aluminium Table Top, so no Magnet Feather boards there....this should do!

Extremely simple but beautiful.

I don't do woodwork, but still loved watching you make this gadget!

I know it makes less sense and more work to do it this way, but if you had made the feather board look more like a mini table saw fence that looked like yours, that would have been pretty cool looking. Not to mention kind of funny. Love the videos! and Love the way your mind works! Keep it up!

Another incredible, practical tool for the shop! Thanks, John for sharing this idea of yours.

Simple and elegant design John. Too many 'creators' want to over complicate this simple jig.

I was always worried about your thumb guide getting 1/2" too close to a spinning blade. Glad to see it in the bin !!

Great project! Happy New Year!

Happy new year and thank you for sharing.

Great idea and perfectly executed. I would imagine that this would also do quite well as a thin rip guide.

Thats a nice addition to the table saw

Another brilliant idea for an inexpensive, safety jig!

what a simpler and useful thing, just great. the spring is perfect.

This is a great design. I was just looking at feather boards yesterday to help more consistently rip long and/or thin stock, but this might be perfect for what I need.

You are a very inventive engineer! Great design, well executed. Thanks for sharing!

Genius idea & execution John!

Bloody great idea and build. You’re a fair dinkum inspiration, John. And entertaining.😊 Thank you.

I loved this video. Thank you. Your editing skills are incredible. Great work all around.

Great build. Nice job!

Beautiful work || thanks you for sharing

Happy New Year John.

Beautiful idea and build.

Great idea John

Simple and effective, veri nais!

Dang! That's Genius! Henceforth, I feel it is more appropriate to refer to you as "Dr. Heisz".

Beautiful video as always.

Great work on the feather board John! Thank you for sharing the video with us and Happy New Year!💖👌👍😎JP

That looks great.

So Creative. i need one of these.

very clever, congratulations!

I like it John, all the best for the New Year

Great idea John. And a helluva lot less expensive than those yellow and green ones!

Nice work thank you 👍☺️

Very cool concept and execution as always John. Happy NewYear btw

Terrific idea & great design John! If I couldn't use the magnetic ones that I have, I would make that!

Always building the better mouse trap. Very nice!!

Nice Idea John👍

Great idea, many thanks.

Love it 👍

Such a cool idea. Will work for my job site saw that I can put feather boards on either. Could even be used as a stop block for a repeated cut as well.

Great on, John.

Very good John....👏👏👏

Brilliant idea

Wow, I need to make one of those!

Good work👏👏👏

Very cool! I like it.

Really fantastic idea, John! 😃 Nicely done!!! Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

Great idea!!

John, what can i say but inspiring. Have a good year in 2021. From the valleys in South Wales

Fantastic idea and cool content bro

I have nothing to say really, but I appreciate your content, and wish to help with the yt-algorithms.

Excelente maestro Saludos desde México

Thanks for sharing

Very clever!

Um like do Brasil. Parabéns 🎊👏

I liked the idea.

Cool idea

Brilliant!

Интересный прижим 👍, для вертикальных заготовок.

I see myself making a pair! neat idea!

This looks very ingenious. Thanks for sharing. I'm looking for a solution to slice of some old flooring boards (appr. 16 x 2.5 x 1 inch) The (former) bottom part of each flooring board is "polluted" with a mix of glue and or cement. it's "not possible" to sand it down that would take ages. i didn't find a chemical way to get rid of it. So the only way to have usable (but thinner) boards is to slice away the bottom part. The flooring boards have tongue and groove. The (former! top part is lacquered, smooth and straight. That side should be placed against the fence. The groove side should stand on the table top. I can't flip it unless I cut of the tongue, which is extra work. Maybe.

Neat Idea!!!!!!!!!! As Usual!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Could have used that just the other day when I was resawing some strips! I will be using it next time!

Brilhante idéia, já tive necessidade de fazer estes cortes , e fiz com muito cuidado. OBRIGADO PELA IDEIA. PARABENS. 👏👏👏👍👍👍🤔🤔🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷

Neat idea!

muito boas ideias

I was already asking myself when will he post something,missing you man! Don’t take so long..

Very clever.

Dude, you are THE SAW WIZARD!

Idea Geniale

Interesting featherboard. We posted this video on our homemade tools forum this week :)

Genius!

I like it!

Nice! Design kinda like the guard you see on European jointers.

Nice!

فكرة رائعة : )

I miss your video happy new year sir 👍👊

I like it.

very clever.

ok ... you should get a Nobel prize for that one

Very, very nice, John! If you ever do a v2.0, I bet you could find a way to incorporate a quick-release so you can clear it from the saw lickety-split (for ripping wide stock).

Very nice! This would be a good solution for my DeWalt jobsite tablesaw(aluminum top). I wonder if the spring/material guide portion were made to where the plastic was against the material it wouldn't need the slippery tape, as the plastic itself is slippery. Just a thought. I did like the "thumb thing". I imagined wooden gloves or mittens even. Purely for the silly factor. I love your channel(s)!

that was smart.

Great jig, this seems to be great for cutting your own edge banding. Plans?. Nice to see the router table cameo ... Appreciated the screw driving.

Хорошее приспособление.

Nearing 1 million, John! (Thoroughly deserving)

I would probably use something similar to a normal featherboard for the "feather" part, just to get the added benefit of the anti-kickback that this otherwise nice contraption lacks. Good idea though, even though I don't think it would work with the aluminium table of my Dewalt DW745 Type 4. :)

I thought the narrowness of the prop rod would allow it to flex more than it does. If bending ever exhibited as a problem, you could add something to engage that miter slot. Even a friction fit, half-lap piece would "brace" the whole apparatus in that miter slot.

kewl idea! but curious - does it rack at all?

Great idea. I was just wondering about the two tightening knobs. Would a quick release (like in your straightedge) be too hifi solution to save five seconds while setting the thing up?

Laminate flooring would be an excellent alternative for the sliding feather surface(and is cheap, strong and amazingly useful as a material for all kind's of things...)

cool
