    I think you do a fine job explaining the process. You make things very clear. I remember you being a guest sometimes with Tommy Mac. Thanks for your videos.

    There are a lot of videos out there explaining jigs. This is the first video I've seen of yours though. I must say, AWESOME JOB!. Your explanations and demonstrations are so useful, and I do love how your enthusiasm and personality shine through! I'll be watching many more of your videos, sir.

    Great video!
    One of my favorite jigs, which isn't really a jig per se, is the sacrificial chopping jig that saves my bench from chisel marks as I chop and tune dovetails and whatnot. Mine is pretty much a shooting board with a bench hook style fence to keep it registered against the bench.

    Great video. You told the truth about simple and useful jigs. If you trust your safety skills more than you trust your sliding miter saw, i suggest investing in a Radial Arm Saw. They’re as safe as you are & once set up, are the most accurate tool for cross cuts.

    Great jigs, and very well explained. I will be making one or two of these for myself; esp. the "spacer/s" for the Tenon Jig. Will improve my joinery quite a bit! Thanks. 🤠

    My shop is small and mostly bereft of power tools, so my jigs are small as well - shooting board, donkeys ear for shooting misters, bench hook for both push & pull saws (pull has to sit in the vise obey) and a crosscut sled for my one power tool, the bandsaw. Thanks again for all the great videos!

    • @EpicWoodworking
      @EpicWoodworking  Год назад

      Actually sounds like a great set up, we should do another version of the top hand tool jigs…maybe you could teach/present that video 👍😎

    I just built a donkey’s ear miter shooting board. It’s awesome for fitting the wooden insert linings of small wooden boxes. Great video. Very informative and I really enjoy your sense of humor. Now that I’ve found your channel I plan to watch the rest of your videos. I’m signed up for your FWW veneering class and am excited for that to start. Happy holidays to you and your wife. -Jim

  • @sawdustwoodchips
    @sawdustwoodchips Год назад +4

    Hi Tom, great Jigs! I agree that if you don't have a true 45 degree angle the combined angle will be 90 degrees. However, the lengths of the mating faces will not be the same. as an example, let's take a picture frame that is 10cm wide, the two angles are 44.5 and 45.5 the lengths of each of the faces will be 14.267cm and 14.02cm respectively. that's a difference of 0.247cm - enough to make the frame look odd. On smaller pieces it won't look so bad 🙂

    • @EpicWoodworking
      @EpicWoodworking  Год назад +1

      Yes, good point! I probably shouldn’t emphasize that aspect all that much given, if it is off at all, it is certainly less than a 1/2 degree. And as you say, I am thinking more about narrower parts when I say that. Thanks for helping me see that clearer, and thanks for watching! 👍😎

    I really like the shooting board Jig thanks for posting. I must build one. what's the best hand plane for that application ? And I just came off your live Thursday night shop talk video thanks for the entertainment and flash light tip. but can you please fix the wood blinds next to the work bench next to the door. the last blind is resting on the sill. It was in the love video as well thanks LOL

    @PaganWizard 8 месяцев назад

    RUclipsr Johnathan Katz-Moses just released a jig to align the rear fence on a crosscut sled without having to use a 3 cut or 5 cut method to aligning your fence. He added that there will be an upcoming video showing how to use this jig to perfectly align the fence on a miter saw.
    Is the miter plane you used with your shooting board a L-N 9??? I just looked at one on evilbay for more than $500, and there's still 6 days left for bidding.

    Bench hook is the most versatile jig for hand tool work. Also the donkey ear shooting board for mitres.

  • @roncoleman4017
    @roncoleman4017 Год назад

    If you make a variety of shims to go between the stock and fence you could use the miter jig to cut dead on segments of any size . just label the shims for the angle they make.

    The sliding miter does play a little and the sled saw seems a little more consistent. I would take it a step further and use the tape on the back fence with a clamp and square as a stop for repeatable cuts.

  • @sjeff70
    @sjeff70 8 дней назад

    Fantastic jigs! I can’t help but ask if anyone here knows… how do you prevent tear out on end grain when using the shooting board? No preventive measure is used here. There’s nothing backing up the cut.

    • @EpicWoodworking
      @EpicWoodworking  8 дней назад +1

      Actually, once you try it, you’ll see there is in fact something backing up the cut, the fence the workpiece is bearing against. With a proper shooting board, as I tried to demonstrate here, you will not have any tear out at the end of the cut. Glad you enjoyed it! 👍😎

    • @sjeff70

  • @tomjudkins3799
    @tomjudkins3799 Год назад +1

    How much blowout do you typically get from your shooting board?

    • @EpicWoodworking
      @EpicWoodworking  Год назад +1

      Virtually none, since the out-cut wood fibers are backed up and supported by being against the fence. 👍😎

    • @tomjudkins3799
      @tomjudkins3799 Год назад +1

      I need to figure that out then...I get a noticeable amount on mine. It's remarkably similar construction with mdf base, bb top and an oak fence...

    • @EpicWoodworking
      @EpicWoodworking  Год назад +1

      Hmmm, I’m not sure why. My guess is try taking very light thin shavings. Hope that helps 👍

    • @tomjudkins3799
      @tomjudkins3799 Год назад

      It's not every board I shoot, and it's definitely more common with oak and pine. I'll figure out and try your advice

  • @richardgrayson9934

Your wife’s involvement gave a down to Earth and sincere feel to the video as well, unlike most of the woodworking videos out there that are just one big fe$tool/$aw$top commercial. I subscribed!

  • @JasonEllingsworth
    @JasonEllingsworth 6 месяцев назад +1

    Never had a use for a crosscut sled over the sliding miter saw. A sled is just too finnicky and limiting in what you can put in it. I don't do any real joinery either, and just glue and screw everything so I don't need one for using with a dado blade either. Also I find the miter saw to be a far safer tool compared to trying to use a table saw for everything.

    • @EpicWoodworking
      @EpicWoodworking  6 месяцев назад

      Whatever works best for you…like they say, if it’s not broken don’t fix it! 👍
      Personally I could never match the accuracy I get on the tablesaw using a sled, but I know people who feel just the opposite, including you. Thanks for watching! 👍

      I actually have a nice old 3 phase 14” Dewalt downstairs, love radial arm saws. But they have been overtaken in the last thirty years by sliding chop saws, and since most people no longer have them, it doesn’t make sense for me to demonstrate using them. Thanks for watching! 👍😎

      Sorry, I don’t find it awkward to use at all and it is a real tenoning jig. But if it doesn’t work for you and you prefer one that is more “real” or “store-bought”, by all means go for it 👍

    Take a constructive input , stop talking to your viewer as if they were 4 years old , it’s sound a bit pretentious and condescending, you have good content , some of it is useful , but man it’s making your video a little annoying , take a page from bourbon moth or even nubby , 38 k viewer can turn to 1 million, just tweek your delivery . You do have something here , maybe involve your wife in the video more,instead of having her commenting and cackling off camera view .Here is a hint , more and more couple become contractor and builder especially in this economy and job market,she seems to know a bit , maybe a segment where you guys discuss the admin of the business . Remember , You are not talking to 4 grader , you are mainly talking to grow men .

      Maybe his goal is not subscribers just wants to help others learn from his experience. Everyone has their own style they are comfortable with.

    • @EpicWoodworking
      @EpicWoodworking  Год назад +23

      Thanks for your intended constructive criticism. It is a little vague to me though. I have no interest in talking to grown men like they are four years olds, and you are the first to ever have that impression, or at least to tell me that.
      If that is how my style strikes you, it would help me to know specifically what it is about the way I am speaking that makes it sound like I am talking down to you. That is certainly not my intent. Perhaps, if I am, it’s a result of being aware of the questions I will get if I don’t explain things deeply enough.
      Whatever, I am curious to hear. I am first a maker, for many years, so teaching/sharing the craft is more recent for me, so I’m aware I have a lot to learn and I want to be my best. 👍

    • @Timothylaing
      @Timothylaing Год назад +11

      Tom you are awesome. I find your style friendly and approachable and as someone who teaches high school students furniture making I learn lots of great tricks I can pass on. Haters gonna hate as they say. Keep it up. As an aside I’d say your subscriber base would be pretty engaged bunch of actual woodworkers not people who just like watching people work wood.

    • @EpicWoodworking
      @EpicWoodworking  Год назад +20

      I should also add, if you’re open to some constructive input, you could improve your commenting style. Rather than dive right into what you think is wrong, it’s good form to say something about what you liked about the free content.
      And my wife is behind the camera because she is shooting the video and we like it that way. And you referring to her laugh as “cackling” is rude and disrespectful, and then saying “here’s a hint” comes off as condescending, arrogant on your part. Makes me wonder if you really care and are a person worth listening to.
      But I still am curious what it is about my delivery that made you feel like I was talking down to you like four year old.

    • @frogdavw9699
