This jig is a million times better than my current table saw tenon making procedure. It's also time consuming and intricate and more costly. I like the precision of this jig. 🤔🤔🤔
Thanks for your comment! I totally get how it might seem costly at first glance, but I actually built this jig almost entirely from scrap plywood and repurposed materials-it’s a great way to save on costs...I designed it to be as budget-friendly as possible while still delivering precision. If you’ve got some scraps lying around, you might be surprised how affordable and achievable this build can be.
A while ago I watched a video on making scratch awls without a lathe. There were some great techniques shown. It was you!! Great to see you still producing awesome videos. Merry Christmas and wish you best!!!
This build is WELL above my skill set. But I enjoyed it immensely anyway because of your quest for dead on accuracy - which you obviously achieved. Maybe one day.
I really appreciate your comment, but I genuinely believe you could do this! If you have a table saw and a hand drill, it's totally achievable. I put a lot of effort into making sure every step is clear and approachable. Give it a shot-I think you’ll surprise yourself with what you can accomplish! Be sure to check out the website for the tools and materials needed-it’s a gift from me to you. I’ve broken everything down into separate steps: makethingswithrob.com/make-a-table-saw-tenon-jig/ Let me know if you make it in the future-I’d love to hear what you think of the instructions!
Thank you so much, that means so much to me. I worry I over-explain things sometimes, but I really want to make sure the 'why' is fully understood. Cute pup, by the way! 🐶
@@makethingswithrob This one is a little crazy… 😊 I've always wanted to cut tenons on longer boards, which gets too unstable should one have the ceiling height. Been pondering holding the board fixed, laying down, and having the saw, (plain saw not table saw), sliding on a track, move upwards and cut the tenon.
@@bamsebrumbamsebrumen5403 So far the tallest I've cut is about 24-36 inches (I made so many cuts I can't recall how long it was originally). I should try it on something taller, although I do have a camera mount above the table, so...
@@makethingswithrob I can but hold my breath and hope you have a good idea there. I've been cutting outer wall boards where vertical boards are crossed by a horizontal board in contrasting colour while trying to sort of tucking them in so they only form one layer, bandsaw did not work there, at least not mine🙂
it was not a long video but an excellent thorough tutorial. too difficult for me, but I see a real interest. thanks for taking the time to explain and film all this stay safe
I understand what you're building and the need for precision. I think you should have started by showing and demonstrating the finished product and it's major and unique features, then showing how you went about building it. I've been woodworking for 50 years and I was lost almost from the beginning. I'll skip to the end to see how it works, then maybe all will make sense.
It's a tough balance. With it being 32 minutes long, I wanted to jump right into the build to keep things moving. Since I’m not trying to sell anything, this video was more about sharing the process for those who want to build it themselves. On my main channel, I plan to dive deeper into its features (though I know that doesn’t help now). I really appreciate your feedback and will keep it in mind for next time! If you have any questions, feel free to ask.
Thanks for the feedback! I try to keep a balance between content and ads to support the channel, but I totally understand how it can feel like too much sometimes. Just so you know, I give the plans for my projects away for free to make sure they’re accessible to everyone. I hope that helps balance things out. I appreciate you watching and sharing your thoughts!

@@makethingswithrob Thanks very much for this. You are a good man.
@@dwayneford1990 It's totally my pleasure, thanks Dwayne!
I really appreciate your constant and detailed explanation throughout the build. Great teaching style. Thank you for sharing. New subscriber.

I sure wouldn't mind see more projects like that, 🙂😍
Hey, I totally take requests! If there's something you'd like to see, please, don't be afraid to say something.

well done
Thanks James ;)

Glad you enjoyed it!
that was brilliant, great explanations made it easy for me to follow. thanks for sharing
Tom...that made my day. If you got something from this, then I've done my job. Thank you ;)
@makethingswithrob you do your job very well. I've subscribed and will have a binge later today. Take care sir
@@tombennett1673 you as well!
Brilliant, and you make it look so easy to build
There's not much to it, give it a try!
Thanks Rob
My pleasure ;)
