@3x3CustomTamar thanks for the lesson. I'm so excited! My first ever toggle clamps arrived yesterday! I'm trying to make a sunburst pattern for a focal wall for my outdoor mini workshop. It's doubling as a lean-to style deck for the building behind my house until I can build a proper one. I love your sandpaper idea.

Thank you for the video. I am doing flooring and if you have ever worked on a house you know that nothing is square. I grabbed some double sided tape to get through the two cuts I needed but realized I need need a tapering jig. There are a ton of videos with complicated jig builds but yours is simple and does the job. That’s what I was looking for. I’ll be building this very soon. Oh, it’s cool that you show people without a router table how to build one as well. I have one but I know what it’s like as a bigger without a lot of tools. Thanks again.

Thank you Tamar for this idea. I've looked at a lot of tapering jig designs, and this one works best for me. I wanted to mention that I decided to use a hold down clamp having a 5/16" diameter t-bolt instead of 1/4". I am now somewhat regretting that decision because the 'home=made' t-slot now only has a very narrow shoulder. Hopefully it will hold up, but next time I do something similar, I will use 1/4"!

Microjig makes a nice one, but this will do perfectly for me and is way, way less money for the same functionality (for me anyway). Nice little tip about adding the small block of wood to allow the clamps to clamp thicker material. So simple but not necessarily something we all would think of in the heat of the moment.

I am now the green eyed monster.....sick with envy I am....of your router table with the riser pedal. Thanks for that! Good vid by the way, reminded me of my old forman back in the 80's who had to make one of these jigs to make tapered legs for side boards and tables. Back in this days there were no such things as the toggle clamps or threaded T bolt clamps. Instead - nails had to be hammered through the board so that just the tips of them would poke through the surface of the face side up. You would then push your stock onto these nail or pin tips against the (fixed fence) on to the board, so that it would not move during the cut. It appears we have finally made progress with this jig and it makes for much better sense now. Thanks for sharing this.
