Klingon Bird Of Prey!
Back Scratcher...
Great video as always! However, I am still waiting on the Klingon Bird of Pray to show up. Dang, I thought you were making one (TOS version). LOL! :) Best Wishes!
I have been thinking for some time as to how to set up a feather board quickly and securely. John has solved it for me. The idea is adaptable to my saw and most any saw. Brilliant! Thanks John.
On hindsight, why has someone not thought of this before now. Well, after a genius figures it out, it looks so obvious.
You know you're a fan of John's stuff when you watch and like the same video a day earlier on Locals!
Thanks twice :)
☺🤝🤝🇮🇩🇮🇩🇮🇩🇮🇩
You've made a lot of useful things. This is close to the simplest, but may be the best. It's now so obvious that a feather board needs adjustment only side to side, but you'd not know that from looking at other designs.
Hi John, I just wanted to sincerely thank you for posting this feather board design. I made a version for our shop this weekend. I made our version with a knob in the front and a sliding feather board on top but it is distinctly based on your design. Thank you.
Excellent idea. Thanks for the video John!
Thanks Don :)
John, your creations have officially elevated you to 'Heathkit of the Woodshop' status...
Hi John, I appreciate your dry humor.
I think it's worth noting that over the years your shop has gone from a freaking disaster to a well-organized well-run highly productive area. And by the way, your kitchen turned out great!
John finally a man who knows how to use a saw safely. I have seen so many you tube bad practices. Your great love your videos.
If I am ever stuck in space with a broken space craft...I want you with me. :) Great stuff.
Yes, agreed, just make sure he has TONS of plywood, :)
Brillant idea, excellent photography skills too.
Great job finding more uses for the fence rail !!!
Nice work John. The fit and finish looks great.
That is very cool John.
I'm going to see if I can adapt it to my SawStop.
Cheers from Tokyo!

Izzy Swan makes a miter extension support for Biesemeyer style fences. I am going to combine his apparatus with John's feather board for my Saw Stop.
I need to wake the heck up. I've got the plans for the fence but haven't built it yet. I'm gonna get the plans for this feather board as well but dang John. I'm only so productive. I'm making some other things too.
That is a great idea. Makes my previously home made feather boards so obsolete now.
Thanks for sharing that, well done!
This is the best featherboard design I’ve ever seen. I have the portable dewalt table saw and I’ve been wanting to replace the fence on it with a larger one at some point. I think you just sold me on your fence plans.
It is a great fence. It turned my terrible old table saw that I got for free into a totally usable table saw. Hot tip: if your table saw fence sucks (like mine did), do the rip cuts on somebody else's table saw or your results might not be so hot :)
I watched this whole video. It was very good. I only have one question: what’s a featherboard?
lol! it is a springy thing to push the wood against the fence for safety and accuracy
😂
Well done John, functional and good looking. I am taking about the project though.
"If she dont find you handsome, she can at least find you handy"
Very elegant.
I really admire how much camera work goes into making these videos, ur content is amazing
Nice build John! I like how quick and easy this is to setup.
John, that has got to be one of the, swankiest feather boards I've ever seen - once I relocate the table saw to it's for now forever home, I'll be making the fence and one of these, now all I need to make a toothbrush that works as well but holds down and attaches to the fence itself.
AWESOME BUILD!
Whoah that jointing/tapering jig at 1:00 - that's one of the first jigs I ever built, that's so super old now
Very clever. That will stop a lot of mucking around that you have to do with other styles.
This is brilliant! Can't believe no one did this before. Leave it to John and his genius to make something so useful that capitalizes on the existing fence rail for positioning and support. This design makes it so easy to use a featherboard there is no reason not to use one when called for. I never trusted the featherboards that fit in the miter slot.
That is epic! I am getting the plans and building this next weekend!
Wow 👏 that is awesome John! Thanks for the fantastic video 📹 😀
I see the bird of prey... sort of lol! cool build as usual John. Thanks.
☺☺☺
Very Cool!!! Thank You John!!! 👍😎
Really neat design as always, John! You also get the bonus use of a thin-strip-jig out of your featherboard that way
What more could you possibly need to see to know that this system is what you need in your shop? I built the fence and love it!
Elegant and useful. And you gave me a good laugh with the first version that was too short!
Nice Idea John!
Hi John!
It's an awesome project and a very useful tool. I would like to suggest a small modification.
I saw you put the feather board on your piece of wood you wanted to use then move it a little bit so the feathers would compress.
What if, the first feather, closest to you, was shorter, just enough so when you put that one against the work piece, the other feathers would compress when running the work piece.
All in one go, no double adjustments.
When you say if you don’t have that size round bar you can use something els what I do is keep all of my old drill bits and cut the fluted ends off but the good thing is the section I keep has the size printed on it 😊
Great idea. I like it and ill try it too build. Have a good time, keep well.
Very awesome, I think that might be a good fit for a bandsaw too!
Bought the plans, thank you John!
Thanks :)
John, I really enjoy watching how you develop these ingenious tools and accessories. Your videos are the excellent.
I like this idea. Great that it goes with the fence system. I still watch your videos. Quietly most the time. Hope things are well John. The way things have gone and are going, who the hell knows how stupid things will get.
Nice looking and very useful! Great work John. :)
Awesome design John, you are a genius, loved the video also, nice to have you joking and relaxed. Thank you for your great content 👍🏻
the exposure looks very good and the video look more polished to me !
Am I the only one to notice it's the wrong way round on the thumbnail..? Anyway, plans bought. I have your fence and it actually made my saw useable :)
I really like this system. My fence is different but this can easily be adapted to work on my saw.
I like your compact compass. 👍🏾
Так это прижимник! Отлично придумали !
That's very clever, John.
Hand contact for-head forcibly ' why didn't I think of that? '.
Nice one John
Super cool! This, I need! Will have to modify to work with my "toy" jobsite saw. Great design, man.
Superb John, simply elegant! 😆
Convenient device! Good luck!
Cool idea.
Fantastic video!
I love your channel’s I’m always waiting for your next project, keep the good work.
Great work, bro
Yaaay! I can say that I did make one of your compact compasses - out of aluminum. It works great.
Great jon John.
WAW AMAZING GOOD JOB 👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿
I see you use Makita so I’m gonna recommend my FAVORITE battery tool, the 18-volt Makita Cordless Compact Band Saw for cutting metal parts.
I built a custom stand for it for my bench top so it presents like a standing band saw, but is removable. It makes cutting metal in the shop a DREAM.
I have the same bandsaw and have also made a stand for it. I love it! I do most of my work outside (no shop) so mine is adapted to be clamped in a "jawstand" thingy. It's great for cutting small, detaily metal parts.
@@markhedquist9597 Yeah, for sure! I work with a lot of 304 stainless, which is often hard on saws (a weird combination of hard and sticky) but I’ve had this Makita for two years and it’s been a champ even cutting up to half-inch plate.
Here’s an Instagram post of making a gear from scratch on that bandsaw:

Awesome work John! 😃👍🏻👊🏻
Very Very Cool! You also had an opportunity to try switching out the toothbrush finger thingies👍 Proof of concept accomplished Brother!
Thanks! I will have one of those soon.
This is awesome! It screams practicality!
John the inventor!
Nice one!
very very clever! I'm definitely gonna steal this idea! 😁
I see you implemented the old measure once cut twice method. Very nice.
Oh, I like this! Could I modify this to fit my saw?... sorry no, I don't have your fence. I love the idea of having it attached to front of saw!
You're a legend mate!!
It's oddly satisfying to see you using Robinson head screws. In my opinion, the superior screw type, and Canadian in origin :)
I hate to disappoint you, but John is Canadian
@@jej3451 I didn't realize I implied he may not me or specified any other nationality....
2:56 Edits out the part where he screams after picking up what will definitely be an extremely hot piece of metal.
Well... I still got lots of things to build, John... And I just bought my first table saw (a Stanley contractor's saw)... But it's definitely on my todo list. 😊
Anyway, stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
If you make the finger closest to you, ie first one the board hits 1/16 to 1/8th shorter you won't have to adjust again, just set first finger to material and that should give the preload needed
Very cool design! I just might have to make one.
Very intelligent idea!
I saw this on Instagram and realized I never see your videos in my feed anymore. Not sure why! I'm subscribed. But now I have a lot of catching up to do. :)
Same!
Good project John.
You could also ditch the featherboard part of this make and - in stead - add a Dial Indicator to the base to be able to micro-adjust the saw fence.
Just a friendly tip... 🙂
Brilliant
Hey John, love this.
You could also cut the first feather a bit shorter than the others so you don't have to position the feather board twice just like on 8:15
Great work John. I actually took the time to read all the comments first, lol. Apparently you only made a few mistakes according to them. Looked to me to work perfectly.
thanks
I had planned on using expensive magnets to make a feather board. Who needs friggin expensive magnets!? Thanks John!
Really cool idea. Easy to adjust ;-)
Absolutely Innovative enough to get a patent
Brilliant.
A good device .
very cool. how about a mechanism to quickly index the 'fingers' a 1/64" or so once the cam is locked down flush to the work piece. this to prevent having to unlock the cam, move the jig over ever so slightly and lock in again before making a cut.
I bought the plans for the fence system to give an old DeWalt saw I had with a broken fence system another lease on life. Plans are excellent! The systems is serviceable, but it does have a fair amount of flexibility at the end opposite the rail. I am talking at least 0.25" or more. When using it properly it works ok, but if pressing against the fence with any force (which you shouldn't) it will deflect a bit toward the end of the cut. I built this for a friend who will use it as a weekend warrior home improvement tool. I warned him about the deflection and taught him how to make the cuts properly. But there must be a warning that this fence does have that flaw in it. It is not as rigid as a steel Biesemeyer fence. But it did bring the old DeWalt back to duty and will probably enable a project or two in a home. I wonder if I did something wrong in a the build or it's just a design flaw, but the flex is there. Plans were flawless, however and I have no regrets at all. My plywood was 15/32" instead of full 1/2", BTW. I don't think that made a difference, though.
All fences that lock on the front rail only flex. All of them.
If you build it and use it properly, the flex isn't an issue at all.
@@JohnHeisz In theory, you are correct, but the the difference of the steel rail system like Biesemeyer (I have one on my old Craftsman saw) and this plywood one is significant. I can not deflect the Biesemeyer hard as I try. Though if I got sensitive enough instruments, I could probably measure the deflection on that also. The plywood fence deflects at least a 0.25" with my left pinkie, though. I agree, it is not much of an issue if the operator is aware of it. Inexperienced and unaware user may have issues.
Not in "theory", in reality. They all move. If mine moved by an excessive amount, I'd stop using it and stop selling the plans - period.
Only someone who has put mine together improperly or with junk material will have flex that's unacceptable. If yours is moving that much with your pinkie (unless you are Mr. Universe or something), that would be you.
@@JohnHeisz I used good materials (15/32" instead of 1/2", but I don't think that would matter much) and I put it together very well. It works, but it deflects id pushed on with any force. In any case, now you have a data point from a build other than yours. Do what you will with it. I still enjoyed building it and I consider it fully functional with caveat. I think my friend will get good use out of the saw and I think that saw has a better fence now than the one from the factory (rack and pinion DeWalt design is not that great).
I love it!
Good idea
brilliant idea 👌 but damned I do not have your fence system 🤔 but will take over the idea with the bristles and use the slot from my table saw top
Genius
Groovy
Hello! I think I'm not in the minority in saying that I really liked your video on the method for building the pyramids. I wanted to ask, if you have heard of the Coral Castle in Miami, made by Edward Leedskalnin in 1920, and the famous 9 ton stone door built on a pivot point that could rotate just by pushing it by hand? Would you maybe be interested or willing to make a video at some point, explaining how you would go about building that if you were to undergo a project like that?
Very young nice John
