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
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!
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.
You're welcome! Thanks for watching.
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!
I built this jig last year, but other projects steered me away from using it. This week I built a large, complex frame for a customer, and I have to compliment Colin - This jig worked FANTASTICALLY! I have never made a frame that went together so perfectly! WOW! Thank you Colin! Be well!
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 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.
you are simply the father and grandfather that everyone would like
Thank You, Saverio!
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!
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! 👍👍
Hope it helps! Thanks for watching!
Hi Colin,
I am new to woodworking and I thank you very much for the instructional video on the 45° jig. Much thanks.
I need to make this asap....Perfect for easy, quick cuts. Thank you for making it so simple Colin!
Hope it helps! Thanks for watching!
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.
You're welcome! Thanks for watching.
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
You're Welcome!
You could also put the square against the saw blade to get your 45° angle on the board
Thanks Colin your tutorials are great you have a really nice way about how you do this. Geoff in the uk
Nice jig Colin from England
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!
I guess I'm pretty randomly asking but does anyone know a good place to watch newly released tv shows online?
@Victor Xander Flixportal :D
@Mario Oliver Thank you, I signed up and it seems to work :D I really appreciate it !!
@Victor Xander Happy to help =)
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
Gonna go ahead and do this. Thank you!
I needed this today. Thank you for sharing.
You are AWESOME Colin!!!!
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
wow, as always you’re a very good teacher and is’t easy to understand for francophone
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
You're welcome! Thanks for watching, Robert!
The most practical and perhaps accurate miter jig I've made! Thank you sir.
Calidad me gustó mucho voy hacer la mía.
Saludos desde Venezuela.
Dios les bendiga siempre
Verifique todo está muy bien
Saludos desde Venezuela.
Dios les bendiga siempre
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.
You're welcome, Becky! And once agian, Thanks for watching.
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.
I made two of these one for the larger jobs and one for the smaller ones, I also added some hold down clamps to help with the longer stiles and rails (a safety feature for the small ones too)
Thank you Collen !! Nice video
Ok! I have plywood, a carpenter's square, and French's Mustard, and I'm ready to build it!
Thank you so much !
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)
Thanks for the tip and thanks for watching, Peter!
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.
What he ^^^ said :) :)
Three excellent additions.
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.
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. (!)
That’s wonderful Colin, definitely one that I will be making. Thank you. Graham 🇬🇧🇬🇧
You're Welcome!
This kind of sled is very difficult to grasp the angle. Thank you for teaching.
Just WOW!!!!
Another brilliant jig that's going into my collection...👍
Thank You, Steve!
Another great video.
Thanks Colin for sharing 👍 😊
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.
Hope it helps! Thanks for watching!
Another gem. Thank you sir 👍😎🇦🇺
Simplicity at its finest...
Thank You!
Nice! Thank you!💜
Love the way you laugh sir 😂
Thank you for sharing this Idea
You're Welcome!
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
Thank You!
Well done.
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.
buen trabajo todo un profecional. saludos desde colombia.
Clamps can substitute magnets. love your videos. TY
You're welcome! Thanks for watching.
Great stuff as always Colin. Thanks for that mate.
You're Welcome, Mark!
Love this!
Neat aeroplane, I mean mitre jig, mate👍
lol ... Thank You, Bill!
Damn some common sense. Thanks
You're Welcome!
A great little bit of kit. Will definately be making one Thanks for the inspiratioj
Ment to say inspiration fat fingers!
You're welcome! Thanks for watching.
Every video I enjoy. Very nice.......Thanks
You're welcome! Thanks for watching.
A very handy jig Colin ! Nice job mate !
Cheers, Bram
Thank You, Bram!
Very useful tool.
Thank You!
many great ideals
Thanks for watching!
Excellent work / Jig there Col excellent job mate.
Thank You, Colin!
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 :>)
I really like your design, Colin. Thanks for sharing : )
You're welcome! Thanks for watching.
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!
lol ... Thanks for watching!
Nice jig Colin! Thanks for sharing the video.😎👍JP
Pretty cool!!!!
Thank You!
Nice video ! does it works for wide board too? I mean that you don't need to use your sliding miter saw ...
Very nice.
Thank You!
stair guages on your square work better than the magnets
Thanks for the tip and thanks for watching!
exactly what I used, I have used them making deck stairs for clients, I used Colins mitre sled to make 60 kitchen doors
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.
Nice and simple! Question: How would you cut longer pieces for larger picture frames?
I wish he answers this question. I am building a 6 ft tall frame and I am pretty sure I will mess it up. I am thinking on having mitered a 12 inches segment and then join that to the long segment (70-12-12 inches)..It might work...I hope :-)
I think marking with a pencil and cutting two peaces together
Maybe use clamps??
Beleza!show!
Thank You!
What a great gig. Where can I purchase the runners it look like they are a plastic type material?
White cutting boards are the cheapest source I've found. Any kitchen supply store should have them and eBay/Amazon. Thanks for watching!
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?
No need to worry about the smell. It doesn't hurt anything, as long as the bottle is clean. Thanks for watching!
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🙂
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.
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??
Ivo Kouters: I'm guessing he is just showing multiple ways to accomplish the same results.
As J Lang noted, I'm really trying to show you a few different ways to achieve the same result, depending on what you have available.
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
Great video Colin, but you have to do something about that dandruff... ;)
lol Thanks for watching!
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.
Bruce Brachman, I had issues trying to make accurate runners on my previous (lousy) tablesaw for my first sled. I could cut straight rips, but could not manage the very tight tolerances I thought I needed to control the width of the runners. If you cut two runners that are straight, but narrow, you can shim one to the far LEFT of a miter slot, and the other to the far RIGHT of the other slot, that will allow them to act as one huge runner in one giant slot (only one side of each runner will bear on a slot-edge). Some dabs of glue on top of the rails will keep things aligned when you remove the jig from the saw top to finish fastening the rails. Paste-wax over the entire bottom of the jig also makes a big improvement in smooth performance.
Adam: Yes, I have seen that method also. My tiny table saw slots are just under 8mm wide. That is really narrow to hold anything stable. I have also seen the 'hot glue' trick to add a small amount to the edge of the runner to take up the slack. The ultimate solution would be a metal runner but I have no way to create a narrow metal strip exactly 8mm. I could buy another stupid micro miter gauge from Micro Mark and take off the track and use that. I just thought the plastic would do two things. Keep the sled straight and be a fairly friction free surface to slide.
Yes, it's HDPE ... I usually just cut down white cutting boards for it.
Cutting down white cutting boards. Hmmm. That is probably the definition of a woodworking hack. Instead of buying 'higher priced HDPE' just cut down a white cutting board. Brilliant. Thanks.
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.
I cut all of my sleds on a cnc. Dead accurate, miter or not.
👍👍.
Thank You!
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
