there are a bunch of good tricks in there - your production hold-down jig for that tough angle is a good "finger-safe" jig, even if someone only ever wanted to make one jig - thank you
Man.... you are my Spirit Animal...... using Kobalt Miter Saw, Craftsman Table Saw and you create this beautiful work. It is not about what you spend on equipment!
What is the tool at 1:00 that you are using instead of a plane called? The one that looks like a sanding cylinder recessed in the table? Did you make it or buy it? Awesome video, thanks a lot!
Look up "Flat Master". I'm not sure if there is a generic name for it other than that it's a type of drum sander. I found it at a garage sale of a woodworker who had passed away and took a chance on it. It's definitely shop-made but I'm not sure if he used a kit or went from scratch. Hope that helps!
Typically I will use it as a sort of miter box for cutting the strips to length. But it is really just a product of making the jigs. I will channel both sides and then hand select the better one for the final product. Any minor imperfections in the grain are left to the bottoms.
The angles have to be perfect. I’m glad you can trust a Kobalt. I couldn’t trust my Bosch. I fine tuned them on a disc sander. Sorry have to question using a miter saw alone. Good job otherwise.
As we say in woodworking: don’t blame the tool! That Kobalt always took a little longer to set up with repeated test cuts to get the angle to the tolerances I needed but once it’s there it produces a reliable result. The Kapex I have now certainly speeds up the process though!
You can use the bottom as sort of a 90 degree mite box, to cut the pieces to length with a handsaw. Just use a square to cut the first kerf with your handsaw so you are getting a great cut every time!

Thanks Kreech! That jig for steep miter angles finds plenty of use outside of kumiko jigs for sure!
Recently purchased a set of these jigs, and they are every bit as well-crafted as they look here. Truly exceptional, a joy to use.
Will check em out, I look forward to the peace these processes give. Stunning work.

Haha thanks! While there are some tools I’m glad to have upgraded, the older tools were sure built to last
I completely disagree especially when you get good.
Oh cool. I just bought your asanoha jigs from Amazon earlier this week. Didn‘t know you had a channel. Popped up in my suggested videos. Nice video!
Thanks dude!
Compliment for project and tutorial 👍👍👍👍
Making mine now. I need to make a 30* and 22.5* cut and making a jig like you did. What are the screw on clamps you're using? Thanks.
I see it in the comments. Thanks.
@MayerWoodworks thanks for the lesson. What degrees did you create please? Particularly the one with the 45° jig? Trying to learn
Good job. Keep up the great videos!
Thank you!
Visited your website and all the jigs seem to be out of stock. Do you still produce these and have any idea when more might be ready?

Good job
Thanks!
If I sent you some Rosewood, could you make some for me? Id love to have a full set made for some larger projects ive got coming down the line.
Sure, DM me
I'm curious as to why you created a channel on the underside of the block. Will you use it as well?

Nice Kumiko jig!! My only question is why did you insert another anchor in the opposite side from the working end; e.g., why two anchors?
The dual stops allow a wider range of capacity. This way when the stop is maxed out, you can push it back to the next insert to get additional length.
@@MayerWoodworks Ahhhh. Thx for that info. I truly appreciate it.
Great looking jigs! Thanks for the Amazon links for the hardware!
You bet!
Are you going to sell them again in the near future?
I hope you don't wait another 2 months to make another video. I really like this. I was trying to make these and some how it didn't come out to right.
Haha working on the next one. They are a serious time commitment though. Thanks for watching!

Any discount for subscribers?
What is the notch at the bottom used for?
You can use the bottom as sort of a 90 degree mite box, to cut the pieces to length with a handsaw. Just use a square to cut the first kerf with your handsaw so you are getting a great cut every time!

👍👍👍. ✌️😎
All in all a good video for technique. Unfortunately your failure to clearly show the cutting angles ruined it for me!
Highly overpriced! I can make jigs for almost NOTHING!
I love seeing people make their own jigs! That’s why I made this video to show the process. Can’t wait to see how yours turn out.
