My husband subscribed to your magazine. He died of small cell lung cancer in 2015. I am left with his awesome woodworking shop. I see all these jigs that he has made and just today realized what an intelligent man he was. I thank you as the jigs he made I believe are from your plans. I am thinking of selling his shop in its entirety, but do not know what everything is! Thanks for sharing your talent so that i see how talented my husband was.
Did you ever sell the wood shop?
@@terencemerritt fr I was wondering the same lol
where is it located
@@WilliamNewberryTheHandyRealtor no chance bud lol
This post sounds kinda off…
Thank you for not playing any annoying background music. Thank you for going straight to the point, unlike so many videos here of people just babbling and playing annoying music. Which of course makes me turn them off. You are saying what needs to be said and that is what these videos should be.
Thats a guy that your crack open a beer with and gives you a lifetime’s worth of lessons before you even finish it.
This was one hell of a lesson. Thanks for bringing me out of the Stone Age!
I watched hundreds of woodworking videos, and just recently run into this. And I have to suspect that this video and jigs inspired (or copied) to many-many other jig and sled and tablesaw videos. This may be the very root of woodworking youtubers. Respect.
Who doesn't love this guy? Not only great information, but clear and easy to understand. I sometimes watch these videos for the entertainment value alone.
Click on the minute mark to go straight to the spot in the video. Wish they would have done this themselves. I knew I'd be back to this video several times. I figured it could be useful for others also.
Before You Start Making Jigs
0:30 1. Assure the blade is at 90 degrees to the table
0:51 2. Assure the fence is parallel to the blade
1:20 3. Assure the miter is square
1:45 Types of materials to use
Must-Have Jigs
3:36 Zero clearance insert
6:36 Miter gauge extension and precision stop
8:19 Auxillary rip fence, aka sacrificial fence
10:30 Off-feed table
Nice-To-Have Jigs
13:00 Raised Panel (for cabinet doors, etc.)
16:30 Ninety-degree crosscut sled
20:50 Four-sided tapering
29:30 Tenons
34:30 Spline-cutting (for the corners of boxes and frames)
37:00, suggested one at 38:30 Thin-strip ripping (to fill the splines from the previous jig)
40:35 cove-cutting (create crown mouldings)
They should pin this comment to the top!
Thanks, that was appreciated.
I was looking for the table of contents guy.... Found him...Thanks!
Thanks Pedro for both thinking of this idea & for delivering this invaluable timesaving "tracking index list" for this incredible video.!!!
You're indeed an unselfish Saviour.!!!
Thank you, now I don't have to watch this whole video to see what he is doing. aka, I don't have to watch any of this video because I already have all of these.
I don't know why this channel didn't come up on my youtube feed immediately when I did a search for table saw jigs. It took watching quite a few blow hard videos to finally get some suggestions for your channel. Your videos are quick and concise, with no bloat, no obnoxious music. I just subbed. This channel is awesome.
I just found this channel too! Weird.
After 11 minutes of video tips I decided to subscribe. Jim Heavey is not your usual shouty, condescending knowall trying to show how knowledgeable he is, whilst bombarding me with electronic "music" or cacophonous heavy rock. Sensible and affordable ideas. So far, so good.
Woooo!!!! This has got to be one of the BEST VIDEOS of ALL TIMES here on RUclips.
Thank you and greetings from Portugal.
Absolutely Genius! The jigs themselves are things I would never have thought of myself. These are going to save me hours and much headache. To add to it this is a well put together video. It's very concise and clear, it explains everything well without being condescending or going on and on.
I'm defintely subscribing to the channel!
A very professional presentation. It just goes to show that working in the building industry for 69 years you can still find and learn new ideas.
I thought the presentation was great as well. Regarding your thought on learning new ideas, I don't think it's possible for any one person to truly "know it all" concerning any one subject. Maybe it'll take a while, but there will always be someone to come along who's got a fresh perspective to gain some new insight into it - come up with something new. Pretty much everything we do and use is a result of improving an existing system. And some of these systems have been undergoing improvement for a long, long time.
We might only reach our loftiest goals on the backs of giants, my friend.. 😊
This is a treasure trove. I will be coming back to this regularly. That taper jig is brilliant.
You know what gets me , is that I been watching you for a lot of years now and you still amaze me with your build ideas and I also like your humor . Thanks for all the years of entertainment and knowledge you shared !
An "Incredibly Instructional Video", expertly delivered, & totally mesmerising to watch.....which I'll certainly continue to do over & over again.!!!
Many Thanks Jim.!!!
.....
All I need now is a Table Saw.....(he quipped.!!)
On the tapering jig starting at 26:45 where he is turning the work piece to put the taper on the other sides add some springs on the clamping devise. The spring will keep the clamping device in the upper position when you loosen it to turn the work piece allowing you to slide the work piece into the device easily then tighten it to make your next cut. Thank you very much Mr. Heavey and this is my gift to you.
It is such a pleasure to watch your videos Jim. I always get so much out of your instructions and jaw dropping almost magic ways of working with wood. Thanks for the one of a kind hands on teaching and dedication.
This has to be one of my most favorite videos! I expect to be making every one of those jigs soon. Many thanks for sharing.
This is the best jig suggestion video I have ever seen. The video covers almost any jig that could be required in a shop. Thank you.
I knew there was a reason I was hanging on to those old toilet bowl bolts I have. Now all I have to do is find them. Keep the good stuff coming.
They say it's a bad idea to cut corners, but Jim has a jig to cut perfect corners every time!
One of the best table saw jig videos on YT. I don't agree with every single detail but when building any of these, you can throw in your own design preferences. Bookmark this one!
Great Info! Practically covered every essential jig that you will ever need in one video! Thank you so much for the efficiency that is an absolute must in the art of woodworking.
What a refreshing difference to the many clickbait, and promotional videos one sees. Professionally presented brilliant ideas with no amateur baloney. Very inspiring!
Brilliant, probably the clearest, most comprehensive presentation going! Much appreciated.
Been a subscriber to wood magazine for over 25 years . I have every issue so I can refresh my memory on all the projects not them . Thank you guys for your labors & tool comparisons . ....major help before my tool purchases.
How fantastic! That cove-cutting is something I absolutely never would have thought could be done on a table saw.
The most clearly explained workshop i have ever seen. No time wasted explaining unnecessary steps but with everything you need to know to get a great result. Fantastic.🇦🇺
Crosscut sled is a must have. The taper jig? Holy hell…making one today. Great idea. Thx for sharing
I have not seen a better woodworking video than this. Thanks for excellent presentation.
This is the sum of years of woodworking experience. Great tricks that show you can do almost anything on a table saw! The other jig I love is the box-joint jig on the table saw :)
I've never seen that before in the other RUclipsrs products!! A lot of the woodworking jig stuff the same time with a complete explanation and how to work with them!! I have find it what I was looking for!! Thank you very much for sharing that with us.
Probably the best video for jigs I’ve found, immensely helpful. Thanks folks.
BEST set of "small little" table saw jigs ever. Thanks!
All is good with wood. The magazine is tops . Over many years I learned a great deal from it, and most of the solutions to start and finish a project were there for me as a permanent reference. Before computers. I could hardly wait for the mailman. Thanks Jim, great video.
Thank you, this is the best training show I have ever seen. The level of detail and homie kind of explaining.
Extraordinary and professional video, thank you. Congratulations for being so clear in all and each of your explanations and tips. Jim, you deserve a Star in the Wood of Fame.
this might be...let me rephrase that.... this IS without a doubt the greatest table saw jig video EVER! what a great tutorial, explanation and demonstration. and, to top it all off, you offer FREE DOWNLOADS of all the jigs and how to build them! you have earned a subscriber today, my friends!
A masterclass, superb filming, the best instructional video I’ve ever seen. Thank you so much.
I think I'll be coming back to rewatch this as I create all the jigs. Amazingly helpful.
Every time he finishes a segment he has a signature little mustache grin as if to say, "Yeah... that just happened" Love it. Loved the video. Love the magazine. I've been putting around my garage for the past few years. I need to take my stuff to the next level.
Mr. Heavy, this is the most informative tablesaw jig tutorial that I have ever seen. Thank you, sir.
Jim I'm an amateur working out of my garage in Auckland, New Zealand. I have learned more off your video in 40 minutes than I have in 10 years. Thank you for making this excellent video. As we've been known to say in New Zealand parlance - Bloody Ripper!
Beautifully demonstrated and calmly explained. A great video for experts and the much less competent alike. I will be back for more.
Excellent delivery and clarity. Highly useful. Thank you.
Jim Heavey, you have one of the most cut and dried, straight to the point instruction styles I’ve found on RUclips. It seems clear that you enjoy teaching your knowledge. I saw your router demonstration video back in 2017 and I got a lot of value from it as well. Thank you.
Yeah, I agree. This is the first video I've seen from this channel and from Jim - the instruction/presentation given were informative and enjoyable to watch. Jim is concise with his words which I really appreciate..
For sure. Check out his router video. It was at an event of some kind.
Now THAT'S how to do a helpful video! For a rookie, this is wonderful information.
Wood Magazine lowkey has some of the best videos on RUclips
What an amazing video! So many solutions described in such a short space of time, very precise and expertly delivered. This was an absolute joy to watch. Thank you for making and sharing this video 💎
Brilliant
This is one of the best woodworking education videos I've ever seen. 👍
I enjoyed watching as I'm just starting to like woodwork. ...Nice to see a good video thanks for sharing
Thank you Jim. Learned allot. my time was well spent watching this video .Good solid advice.
Absolutely amazing 👍 I'll look forward to trying to build some of these, thanks for your time in sharing them with us all. Keep safe.
Jim, Thank you.....well done and professional....I appreciate craftsman like you....Cheers,RP
This is an extremely high-value set of tools from a true master of craft. Thanks for sharing!
Why doesn't this guy have his own show???? He gives Norm a run for his money!! You're a wonderful teacher, Mr. Heavey. As a guy who used a table saw for the first time ever just the other day ...I so appreciate you.I can actually follow this guy Thank You, Sir.
Because norm is with pbs, and pbs is corrupted.
This has to be the best table saw jig-making video on RUclips, hands down! I’ve viewed dozens of videos on this topic, and invariably find flaws in the conception of the jogs... some small, some huge. Not on this one! If I could give it an extra “like” rating I would do so. The 4-taper jig in particular is genius.
As a carpenter with forty plus years of experience I enjoy seeing how others do things I’ve spent a great deal of time teaching other safe work practices and how to make jigs
Excellent jigs. I like the straight to the point, "no BS" presentation. I'm going to be attempting to build the tenon jig pair today.
What a great find! Thanks for posting this. It's like an encyclopedia of jigs.
Thank you for the information. A couple of these jigs will definitely save time over the techniques I have been using. Well done. I look forward to more instructional videos from you.
Love your channel , i have become an amateur hobbyist during this quarantine and woodworking has kept me sane.
Very informative and professionally presented. Properly designed fixtures and jigs save fingers. Thank you Jim.
Awesome video! You was right to the point on everything and stuffed a ton of information in a short amount of time, I really enjoyed it and I’m sure I will watch it many times to refresh my memory as I start to do these things you went over.
Thanks for all the info about jigs for my tablesaw!
This gives me a new appreciation for wood-working nerds. The taper jig is great.
Fantastic Video. Thanks for preparing and sharing it. Great ideas for making things both easier and safer.
Yes I don’t normally comment on these video but had to tell the guy on it’s a wood thing that being I was a glass man for 35 yrs. the reason you need paper towels is your doing it wrong! When holding that glass cutter you put it between your middle and index finger strait up! You will get use to it! And when breaking glass you leave it on the table and just slide it off the edge to brake it! And the wood breaking with the running pliers well that’s bull shit! Sorry!
Excellent and inspiring video tutorial, Thank You
"Jigs Rock". Good video, Excellent variety of essential jigs. I'm slowly building my jig inventory as I need them. Now, all I need is a spare room to keep all the jigs in.
Outstanding presentation! Just the right amount of detail. So many really skilled people try to explain every minute aspect, assuming the viewer is just getting started ( and to be fair- also to answer some of the questions that are going to pop up in the comments). You have skipped the meat and potatoes and went right to the dessert on this one, very informative and interesting. The use of toilet bolts was a tip worth the price of admission all by itself. Thank you for sharing your skills and knowledge. 👍
What a great video! These jigs are phantastic and so well explained. I will shurely do some for my table saw. Thank you so much for sharing!
Greetings from Switzerland
You do fantastic work, I wish I had you as my instructor back in high school. Every jig is very helpful. Thanks keep up the good work. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Yea mime was a real jerk I failed shop because he wouldn’t let use anything with a motor on it, he handed me 50 Small knobs a a pc of sand paper. Today There’s no tool I don’t have today and can skillfully use all of them. No trade in construction I haven learned or Equptment I haven’t ran. I Dropped out of high school at 9th grade went into construction at 16. At age 48 I was a self made multi millionaire as builder developer. AMERICA IS GREAT I Never get to do things for myself because always working, now it time at 66 to slow down and enjoy wood working for enjoyment and hobby.
@@dduncan221 hey Dennis saying that you’re getting close to retirement I’m already retired I’ve got into the hobby of RC airplanes a lot of fun nowadays I join the club and the guys are fantastic a lot of fun and you might want to look into. Once you buy your transmitter and a couple of batteries the planes are fairly inexpensive.
@@w.j.bendellr.c.flying.1037 RC? Is what sorry
@@dduncan221 Radio controlled airplanes, they have some that almost fly automatically very easy to learn. I’m having a blast flying.
Go to Brian Phillips RUclips channel and check out some of the planes I think you’ll like it.
Absolutely the best jig video ever. Will be watching this many times I'm sure.
Awesome video. I truly enjoyed it and got so many ideas from it. I’m going to be building some of these jigs now that I’ve learned about them. Can’t wait to put them into practice. Thank you.
Great jigs! I made my crosscut jig a lot bigger, and never regretted it. Just used it tonight to build a cabinet, and I needed that space. I'd also add some more meat on the crosspiece in the vicinity of the cut so the sled doesn't bend or break while handling it. I'll be using that cabinet to store jigs...
So glad I found your video. Thank you for sharing your knowledge of jigs. Great job 👍
I’ve built most these jigs. May have to refine some of mine with some of the design elements shown here. The one I don’t have is simplest of them all; the thin strip gauging jig. So simple and effective. Thank you for the great presentation, clear and easy to understand. By the way, love the publication of Wood Magazine; been reading it for probably 20+ years.
Setting up shop now and will be making all the jigs and attachments off the free plans from the inspirational maestro Jim Heavey
WOW - I’m in love! I can’t believe all the stuff I can make just using a table saw. I’m making loads of these jigs. Great video, best I’ve seen in a long time. You’ve a new subscriber!
The BEST jig instructional EVER!
What an excellent video on jigs. The instruction is so clear and the tips are invaluable. There are many terrific woodworking videos on RUclips; this is one of the best I’ve seen. I’ll definitely be making some of these!
This is the best table saw jig video, and I've watched dozens of them! The link for the free plans didn't work for me when I tried using facebook to sign in, but I tried creating a wood magazine account instead and got the plans for free! Thanks again Jim!
I'm going to be very busy making all these amazing jigs. Thanks for sharing!!!
In a retired Woodworker with over 25 years of Architectual Woodworking as my profession and over 35 years as Woodworking as my hobby ive always loved the Magazine and enjoy your RUclips channel equally as much seeing the jigs in action in a video really makes you see the importance and safety of each jig i’m also proud to say at 56 years of age ive had no major accidents working with my power tools a couple of scars here and there but nothing more than a couple of stitches couldn’t fix me up yes i sadly performed a Chislectomy on myself with a lot of embarrassment well deserved of course from being entirely too tired
Excellent Video. Thanks for the clear explanations. In January I scored an excellent belt drive table saw with a brand new 3hp motor and new bearings everywhere. It was an opportunistic find. Very inexpensice. All cast iron with a heavy duty steel angle iron stand.
Very well made jigs Jim! I'll be using some of them on an upcoming project. Thanks!
Thanks so much....no more holding off, guess work, and lots of experimental scraps. Cheers to a great Video.
It's hard to count the number of great ideas I got from this video. Thanks for sharing !
My next project, Jim this was a great video, you're so easy to listen to and all the jigs I would use just brilliant
Amazing video, so professional. I just use my little table saw to rip down lengths, I had no idea it could do so much more.
Hello Jim. Just seen this video for the first time. Great presentation. Thank you very much.
This guy knows what he’s doing very impressed I learned a few things thanks pal
I feel like a kid on Christmas morning! What a pile of presents! I will be making several of these, if not all, especially that cove-cutting jig. I've been locked into the idea of clamping a fence at an angle to the table top, but this is much nicer. I may put the swing arm's pivot on the angled arm, so I don't have to work around the end of it, and just let it stick out over the fence where it's not in the way of anything. But a super jig, AND a super collection of jigs! Thanks!
Great video, you are a great teacher and I picked up a lot of tips. You remind me of my uncle Larry who was a carpenter and mason. Keep up the excellent work. Zarpman
Reminds me of the New Yankee Workshop-Great Teacher
This guy is BETTER than Norm.
Excellent sampling of jigs! Thanks for sharing!
Great advice. Thank you for sharing on how to build Jigs with plans. Awesome
Excellent presentation and demonstrations. The jigs are all very well done and would be very useful. Thank you for sharing this knowledge.
The miter gauge can be quickly squared by sliding it in the miter slot up side down and up against the rail.
i love your videos because you’re knowledgeable and truthful with no background noise or music.
This is a great collection of jigs and tips!!! Thank you
WOW!!!! I will be saving this video for future reference as I set up my saw bench. Thank you very much from Ken in Australia.
The best demo I have ever seen. Thank you.
Awesome jigs! Very professionally done! Thank you!
