.68 and one very beautiful hike.

The speed square to cut the 45 angle is clever. Thanks for sharing!

[@SmokeyCreekWoodworks]

Thanks

[@robertsmith3518]

Thanks for the verbal explanation. I don’t watch the folks who use sign language to communicate . Nice job on the video !
Cheers

[@SmokeyCreekWoodworks]

Thank you.

[@johnnyc563]

Agreed to the MAX! Those people probably cannot walk & chew gum at the same time.

[@kiralycsavo0]

That looks friggin amazing for those of us who don't have dozens of cabinet-sized clamps. 👏

[@SmokeyCreekWoodworks]

Yep. They made putting together a large carcass much easier.

That my good sir is the Cat's Meow. Thank you for the video, I will not be going out to buy a crap ton of clamp jigs. Only a few for absolute precision when needed but these are very well build along with being simple to reproduce if they ever become out of square or damaged and will work amazing for everyday use.

[@SmokeyCreekWoodworks]

@@wfo0070925 Thank you for the high praise.

Amazing jig.Super easy to make.Although not as a clamp I cut a square board into two at 45 degrees.Now you can also use it to support a table top with hinges that can be easily folded.
The next is this jig.
I cut the Square with a hand saw and used MDF with sides 28.8cms.
I normally use templates before doing my main work.

[@SmokeyCreekWoodworks]

Thanks.

The USAF will be knocking on your door , this is a B1 , 👍 Thanks for the vid ! It’s a great way to use scraps . Good job man .
Cheers

[@SmokeyCreekWoodworks]

@@robertsmith3518 Ha! I'll not be able to look at them the same. Too bad my favorite plane is the F4.

[@curtisaitken7027]

Short sweet and concise. Great idea in the back of my head ifn ever I need. Thanks for this.

[@SmokeyCreekWoodworks]

Thanks

[@davidsneddon2242]

If the only constructive comment you got is to cut the corners off you did a great job. Well done, very elegant and very very practical. From sunny Scotland.

[@SmokeyCreekWoodworks]

Thank you Sir

[@d-not_telling]

Love this. What about cutting of the tip? That way you don‘t glue the jig to the glued joint.

[@SmokeyCreekWoodworks]

@@d-not_telling Yes, I should have done that. Thanks.

[@d-not_telling]

@@SmokeyCreekWoodworks After seeing your video, I plan to make a set too - with that one variation.

[@fredparsons5134]

Nice corner jigs. Thanks, i will give these a go.

[@SmokeyCreekWoodworks]

@@fredparsons5134 thanks for watching

[@robertbertram1416]

Very nice and practical. Thank you!

[@SmokeyCreekWoodworks]

@@robertbertram1416 thanks

[@gregfraser3852]

Great idea I’m thinking I’ll be making some of them thanks

[@SmokeyCreekWoodworks]

@@gregfraser3852 They are wonderfully effective.

[@alessandrosuppini943]

Thanks for sharing your design, very clever indeed!
Out of curiosity what size of frostner bit did you use?

[@SmokeyCreekWoodworks]

I used a 7/8 bit.

[@agjohnsonandson]

Nicely done

[@SmokeyCreekWoodworks]

Thanks

[@apenza4304]

I cut off the inside corners to make it easier to clean the glue squeeze out.

[@SmokeyCreekWoodworks]

@@apenza4304 Yes, I need to amend that. Thanks

[@col0342]

With a notch in the corner to avoid glue squeezes, one could use them in gluing the clamped pieces at a straight angle.

[@SmokeyCreekWoodworks]

@@col0342 Yes, I should take off that corner. Thanks

[@sk13ppy]

Fantastic. Thanks. ❤

[@SmokeyCreekWoodworks]

Glad you like it.

[@seanmcdonagh4105]

thanks just made 8 of them sean from ireland

[@SmokeyCreekWoodworks]

Awesome, thanks for sharing.

[@hanspijpers2100]

Question: Why do you draw lines from back to front For a crosscut sled , you only need a start point or an end point To align the bord with your fence ? Just like a miter saw you only need a point under the lowest sawblade tooth. Nice work though

[@SmokeyCreekWoodworks]

Sometimes I do just draw a single mark, sometimes I draw the full line to cut. I guess I really wanted what I was doing to show up on camera while recording this.

[@daveklein2826]

Are you against using pencil lead?

[@SmokeyCreekWoodworks]

@@daveklein2826 just wanted what I was doing to show up clearly on camera

[@johnnyc563]

What are the overall dimensions & are they the norm for all sizes? Thanks, nice idea.

[@SmokeyCreekWoodworks]

The dimensions are 8.75x8.75x12.5 inches, by .75 inches thick. I made 12 of them all the same size. My plywood scraps determined the size they are.

[@johnnyc563]

@@SmokeyCreekWoodworks Great, thank you so much.

[@acerjuglans383]

You need to cut off the very corner of your jigs, otherwise glue will stick to it.

[@SmokeyCreekWoodworks]

Great advice, thanks
