This is excellent! What wood should be used, to minimise warping? TIA

Nice design.

Thanks for posting :) I will buy the plans, as I really want an accurate fence right now. I really appreciate your teaching style, freindly, open, humorous and clear. Top stuff :)

@Steve Maskery can you please explained more about the bevel angle in relation to the cutterhead on thickness planer

01:14 "It doesn't matter, as long as we understand each other" is exactly the aphorism we need.

I built this jig and have now used it to make two different sized box joints. It really takes some patience to get the setup right but as you say, once it's setup correctly, you're done. I absolutely love it. Thank you Steve for sharing your wisdom.

"Multiplying numbers by 10 is very easy, so that's why I am working in inches". Please repeat that slowly........... Then google "metric system", there's a whole world out there, lol.

Your workshop looks cool.

Thanks for this video Steve, not just for the great jig but I think it’s actually really helpful to be reminded that even somebody who’s obviously extremely competent and experienced can have an accident on a table saw, I’ve been a carpenter for 30 odd years and I have a very healthy respect for table saws, you can get caught out so quickly even after thinking you’ve covered all the angles. Thank you for leaving that part in and not editing it out, lots of respect for that👍

When woodworkers do 'precision'. Seriously, I do like it. But ...

I admire your repair job, Steve, instead of making it all again. I've been in a similar situation in workplaces... Make something just like this, show them the importance of it being adjustable and how to... They forget, notice their error in the beginning of the cut and... Continue to complete the disaster. 🙃

You've ended up with a better product as you can swap the ends for whatever angle cut you are making.

Pretty nice work, Steve! 😃 Well, I only hope the guy had to listen to some... lessons! 😬 Anyway, stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

Great fix there Steve and yes, l certainly wouldn’t have been happy either 🤬!

Elegant solution to a frustrating situation Steve

Knowing how much work you had put into making that fence even makes me upset at your builder. It's admirable though how you were willing to find a positive end result. It is still a very respectable example of a reliable work fence, one that you couldn't find out of the box. Kudos to you 👏

Sounds as though your 'builder' waers a Stetsun and arrived on a horse!?

What did you do before when you needed to make an angled cut on a long board?

Have you sacked your builder yet ? the guy sounds like a big problem just waiting to happen

Beautifully done

Steve - you really need to use extraction with your domino. The amount of eccentric movement in the machine means it needs to be extracted otherwise it could wear out early or worse fail.

You have a better tolerance than me but I’m glad you took the high road

Good advice don’t let sons borrow either 😂

Fantastic idea. I would want to extend the depth of the 'point' to touch the workpiece, thus avoiding parallax errors due to my poor sight!

I have looked a bunch of tapered leg jig ideas but this one is the simplest, best and most useful one I have seen. i just made it and use it and it was fantastic. Thanks.

You don't have good angle view of the camera

Thank you for sharing this really helpful information, Keep up the fantastic videos

Funny, he uses a phone to calculate the angle block length, when he could easily download one of the many very acurate angle apps to prove angles... without mucking about the hassle of having to hand planning tiny blocks to length or to use any sine bar laying about. Stop yibber yapping to ya phone and get up with the times - old school techniques left earth a couple decades ago.

Maskery is a wise wolf who hunts with intelligence, then regurgitates for foreign wolves. Mixed metaphors aside, this is as rare as hen's teeth. I wish more knowledgeable people would share with such generosity of heart.

How do you know where to position the “blunt end” If you can put it anywhere, the angles could change depending when you place it !

Steve, you're a GREAT teacher! Thanks! 🏆

First thing i noticed watching your video, is how much you sound like Michael Caine the actor. I wasn't 20 seconds into your video and your voice was the first thing that hit me.

Very cool!

I do like your multiple jig inserts and one sliding table! I have seen a lot of similar videos cutting the slots on one side of the joint and then cutting the second piece. However, another video cut the first slot in one piece then located the edge and allowed the matching slot in the second piece to be cut. The two pieces were then fitted over the pin and "glued" with double sided tape. The remaining slots in both pieces were then cut at the same time. I feel that this would have a better chance of ensuring that the pitches match perfectly. Would this remove (or reduce) any errors in a "creeping pitch"?

Nice work shop

Bandsaw and blue tape, much safer to trim cosmetic peices ... Same with drilling you use the offcut as supports

EW is this a coffin 😂😂😂😂😂

Very interesting thanks.

Excellent like all others before. Just one thing Steve, when you make videos like this do not use the blade guard for the viewers to be able to see the cut as is made, everybody does that for video purposes only, you should though give verbal emphasis of-course that the blade guard should be always be used.

Over the last 20 or so years I’ve purchased at least two different types of sharpening jigs that I’ve not been really happy with. This one that you’ve made is annoying in its simplicity. Wish I’d thought of it $200 ago. Love it! Great idea! Great design! Thanks

This would drive me nuts either you have the skills and the eye or waste time

I use a 4” PVC elbow cut to surround the lower tracking rollers and connected to my 4” diameter dust collector. With the large volume of air getting sucked down I hardly get any dust on the table top. Basically I doubled the volume of air sucking the dust close to the actual generator of dust.

Great video Mr. Steve. Can't wait to build a fence for my old American Crafstman table saw!

That's brilliant!

Great video! Just what I needed! Subscribed :^)

I have a very old one that keeps going for ages after the power is off. I have a felt wheel on one side and made a stop block with some felt that I press against it to stop it. Works perfectly!

Stunning, Steve! Truly amazing work! 😃 Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

I'm just starting to watch, Steve... But I have to say, I'm probably going to build one for myself! 😂 (It's been too long since I painted anything... I need to change it!)

Lovely project, Steve. An heirloom tote for many generations to take on adventures to paint the French countryside 😊

When lowering the board, your hand is so close to the router bit. Is there any other technique which is more safer? Also, it you are doing this with very hardwood lick Hichory or Jatoba, is there a chance of kick back when you are lower on to the blade?
