now THIS is a jig I can get behind. not overly complicated and extremely practical
Thanks! It Works really well!
Wow why didn’t I think of this……thank you so much for sharing this
Of course! Saved me tons of time! Cheers man!
Great Jig, I have never built one but I will try it soon.
Thank you for sharing
Works really well! I find when you have to batch things out that a simple placement jig like this really speeds up the process.
Very nice. Thanks so much for this.
Of course! Glad it was helpful!
thank you
Hay, thanks. Ya going to make this.
Hey! Of course! Hasn’t been a bad idea!
This is SO SMART. Thank you for sharing. I'm used to seeing diy jigs for table saws and such, but not for the final build, and this is AWESOME.
Thanks Kari! I appreciate the compliment! I’ll be making more videos like this in the future as I come across projects I want to mass produce.
I'm an early retired home improvement contractor and needed a hobby, I was getting bored so I started making birdhouses for fun out of pallet wood. Word got around, people wanted some and were will to pay me, OK. Started selling them at fairs, home & garden shows, etc.mostly in the South, no flea markets, cheap people. I've been at it for 5 yrs now not counting this yr because of the virus thing. I've paid as little $100 and as high as $1200 for a booth at a state fair and always had high returns. My expenses are very minimal. A Class B motor home and enclosed trailer which I had. Just another way to keep busy and make money too.
That’s awesome to hear Ozzie! I agree, there’s nothing better than a hobby that puts money in your pocket! Congratulations on your retirement and thank you for watching!
Rock and roll my friend! My focus is reclaimed wood, whether from pallets, dumpsters, or curbside. I started my hustle just as the Corona virus mess started so I haven't been able to hit craft fairs and such but I'm ready!
*_excellent video and tips Tyler!!_*
Thanks man! I appreciate it!
This and the original build video made me a believer and a subscriber. Looking forward to more videos, and hopefully making a few of my own projects.
Thanks for watching Jeff! Build on man!
Made this jig for free with scrap materials I had lying around. Also, made it a little longer so I can do a 6 foot ladder with a 5th shelf. Thanks for the ideas, has definitely been beneficial!
I’m glad it’s been helpful! Thanks for watching and sharing your results! Cheers!
Nice, simple, and clear instructions
Thank you William! I appreciate you watching!
Awesome im always looking for new jigs to make thank you
Hey Derek! Glad the video is useful. Thanks for watching!
You got a subscriber... Lrg is my favorite brand too, stay lifted #savethechildren
Thanks Mike! I appreciate it man!
Great idea to make a jig for a build like this. It will save a lot of time. Now all I need are orders. Thanks for sharing Tyler. 👍
You got it! Happy to help! Good luck, hope you sell a bunch of them.
@@WoodNerds Ya me too, thanks again
Dude you're such an inspiration. I can't wait for you to get more RUclips subscribes because you definitely deserve them! I'm a nerd, but I'm just learning about woodwork. Maybe one day I'll become a wood nerd.
Thank you! That means a lot! Doesn’t take long to get into and It’s a lot of fun once you start!
love it. nice and simple
Thanks Rodney!
Nice!! New woodworker here, I'm gonna give this she thing a try to see if I can earn enough to get the rest of the tools on my list. Thanks for this and the ladder instructions.
Perfect plan Heather! Good luck!
Nice jig.
Thanks Paul!
I make alot of ladders and I never thought about doing this....lol.....great ideal...thanks for sharing
Well looky looky 👀 I just happen to have an extra piece of plywood from my last project that will be perfect for this. Thanks
Perfect!! Thanks for watching!
Thank you! I never thought about making a jig for my ladders
You’re welcome! It’s super helpful!
Man I'm just getting into this. Great great idea making jigs for projects
Thanks man! If you are going to make it the same way every time you might as well build a jig to make it easier and repeatable!
Great jig. So cool to see something so simple yet save so much time.
Thanks! Yeah! Even if it didn’t save time, it would save frustration (just as important haha).
I just ran into your channel and I love it I am also just starting my own woodworking side business. I appreciate your content and now I am subscribe to your channel can’t wait for more videos
Thanks man! Good luck with your business. Thanks for watching!
Yeah!
Just caught this video, loved it. Watched the video on your shelves and work station loved that one too.
I was just looking around to find easy strong shelving for my garage.
Thanks these videos were very helpful!
Hey James! Of course man! Glad they were helpful! Good luck with your projects! Cheers!
just found your channel this morning when the concealed drawer coffee table popped up in recommended videos. Nice design on that one! You have come a long way in your videos since then. Like the short and to the point content. No frills and great for those of us just getting started!
Oh, and I second the comments on a jig for production. OUTSTANDING!
I really appreciate that! We’re all students and have plenty to learn. Thank you for the support!
This jig is brilliant! I've made two blanket ladders, and people love them. That settles it: I'm making one this weekend.
Awesome to hear! Let me know how it turns out! I like mine.
How did it turn out?
Wood Nerds thanks for sharing the jig build, very beneficial!!
Love the simplicity of this project. Saw the original blanket ladder as well, just awesome. Keep up the great work. New subscriber
Thanks! I really appreciate it! More on the way!
You appear to be eyeballing your step piloting. You could redesign the jig side braces so they were also drill guides for the step screws.
This is true! I’ve only goofed once or twice but that is a great design improvement!
Great video! Thanks so much for sharing this. I’m new to woodworking and this is great information! 😊
You’re welcome Theresa, thank you for watching! :)
Great video
Thanks Clay!
I have a blanket ladder. Don't know how I even got here, but you got my sub. Informative and no beating around the bush. Very nice
I really appreciate that! Thanks for watching!
This is awesome my friend! Thank you so much for this video and you trying to help us starting out in this business! I made one of these for my mom about 3 years ago and I think this time of year now would be a great opportunity to start these and make some cash!
Of course Joseph! Happy to help man! Knock em out and fill your wallet!
Brilliant! Thanks for sharing.
Thank you Osvaldo! I appreciate you watching!
Super! great addition for my newbie shop. Thanks a million. Very well explained
Hey Bruce! Of course! Glad it was helpful! Keep building that shop up.
Dope
Thank you!
WOW!!!!
Thank you for this!!!!
Happy to help man! Thanks for watching!
Nicely done. I really like the idea. Thanks!
Of course! Thanks for watching!
Great jig Bro,thanks for giving us that insight. And for that I signed up cheers again as I'm just starting out I need something to make and sell to get more tools. Billy from Scotland.uk
Of course man! Thanks for watching! I have a few of these in the works. More on its way!
Another tip, make a custom speed square thatll hold the angle for your rungs, so you can slide it along the top of your sides and easily mark where to put your screw holes
That’s a great idea! Lining up the pilot holes is the last troublesome step left.
You just saved me tons of time!
I’m glad! Thanks for watching!
This is great man! Thanks for sharing
Of course Jordan! Thanks for watching! Cheers!
Great idea! Thanks
Thanks for watching!
Awesome jig, thank you!
Of course! Thanks for watching man! 🤙🏻
Awesome video. Thank you for sharing. New subscriber here.
Thanks for watching! Cheers!
Love this jig. Thanks for all the tips. The material/cut list written on the jig is brilliant! Just earned a sub. Well done, can't wait to see more!
Thank you Tregg! I get sick of looking for measurements haha. More videos on the way!
@@WoodNerds Me too. I'm trying g to start a woodworking/epoxy business, and if there's one thing I've learned it's that you HAVE to be efficient. This jig should help with that!
Absolutely! It’s easy to spend most of a day thinking and planning without making many cuts. Once you have a process ironed out and you can effectively automate it you’ll shave a big percent of your time down and keep your consistency up.
@@WoodNerds Couldn't agree more. One of the biggest mistakes I've made is trying to make too many things, from epoxy art to end tables (with epoxy inlaid of course 😁). The problem with that is I couldn't really do any one thing efficiently because I needed too many tools/jigs/material/room to work. I've just come to the cold, hard realization that I need to just stick with 2 or 3 things that are fast and easy to make that don't require days to make and aren't over complicated or over built ( as I tend to do alot ). These blanket ladders should work for that...fingers crossed.
Makes sense to me! Doesn’t matter if you make a huge dinning room table or 100 blanket ladders if the time invested is the same and the overall cash in your pocket is the same sign me up for profit. I’ve had good luck with these ladders and quite a few others have reported back with good returns as well.
Very nice video with a great instructional style. Just getting into woodworking so am focused on general shop jigs, but this is a great idea for project-type jigs. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you Ryan! Glad the video was helpful. Thanks for watching!
AWESOME!!!!👍📐📏🛠️🔨
Thank you!
Enjoying the Wood Nerd shows. As well THANK YOU 😊
I’m glad! You’re welcome! Thanks for watching!

Liked and subscribed.such a good idea its a great project
Thank you! I appreciate you stopping by!
Lol. Was about time you did this video!! Lol thanks for making it. I love your videos!
Thanks man! Hope it’s helpful!
Awesome jig bud thanks for the tip nice vids. Cool
Thank you! I appreciate it!
Great video, thanks for the tips, keep up the great work. Looking forward to the next video, from one wood nerd to another ✌🏻
Thanks John! More ideas in the works man! Keep an eye out!
I'm subscribed!😉
Thanks David! I appreciate it!
Great video mate, thanks for your input. Subscribed.
Thanks man! I appreciate that! Cheers!
Excellent jig and details. Thanks so much.
Question: do you leave the top of the ladder sides squared off, or would it be better to round them off a bit? Thx
Thanks Jon! When I sand, I give all the edges an easy rounding (helps a lot with splintering!
This is a great idea! Have you considered putting a small piece of rubber or something similar on the bottom of the legs to prevent slipping? Or is it pretty stable as is? Also, have you tried using pocket holes to secure the steps for a cleaner look or would that not work well?
Thank you! I haven’t had issues with slipping, if these were ladder shelves I would say that would be necessary. As for pocket holes, that’s up to you. It would definitely be easier to accomplish with the jig as long as you put the angle blocks out of the way. I’ve never had anyone complain about seeing the screws though. You could also countersink them in a little deeper and use wood filler to cover as a solution.
How could you add to the jig to create a guide for screw holes so you could just knock them out, and not miss.
I think slats on the outside with holes drilled for the screw spots would work!
Great video! I made a very similar ladder for my wife last year and getting those angels of the "steps" lined up was a total PITA and made me not want to make another. This jig would solve that, great idea and great video. Have customers pushed back on the screws? I used pocket holes for my wife's & wondered if customers would be willing to pay a little more for hidden hardware.
Thanks for watching! I haven’t had any issue with them. Pocket holes would be a good solution, or countersink further and stainable wood filler over them (will show but wouldn’t look bad).
Was thinking plugs but filler would be a quick solution as well. Much appreciated!
Of course! Thanks for sharing your thoughts!
Hahahahaha that intro..
Thank you sir! I was hoping it would make someone laugh haha.
Have you figured out a method of attaching the stairs that will allow you to ship, and the customer is required to assemble?
I personally wouldn’t ship as the cost would be pretty high but you could use threaded inserts and include the hardware!
@@WoodNerds Thank you
I asked this on the original ladder build but I'm hitting you up in two places hopefully to get an answer quick LOL any reason why you don't use a brad nailer for the steps themselves? I would think it would be strong enough since it's just holding blankets?
Hey Slappy haha. Sorry, was busy for a bit. Yeah, I think brad nails would be strong enough. I’d probably use glue as well, to help hold over time. I think screws will last a little longer but as long as the recipient isn’t hard on them, the ladders should last for a while with nails and glue. I would definitely use 2” nails for that one if you can.
@@WoodNerds thanks Wood Nerd! 👍🏻
Of course! Good luck!
If it looks silly, but it works well, it ain't silly.
Truer words have never been spoken my friend! Thanks for watching!
Great video! I could have used this for my first ladder.
Thank you George! It’s better to have a ladder already built so you can reference it as you go along. Having one available for me saved a lot of time measuring!
@@WoodNerds Thanks! I have one about done and will make the jig before making the next one.
Let me know how it turns out!
@@WoodNerds It worked great and no cost because I had everything I needed. I now have 2 finished and will put on Facebook. I sure hope they sell. I stained them. What do you think about painting them?
That’s awesome to hear! Paint would also be nice, I would wait for the client to ask for that rather than assume a certain color is likely going to be purchased, but white is popular,
Is that a salt gun on your wall? If so, how does it work? Great Idea/video btw. Thanks.
Hey Joe! Yeah, I made a video on it! Check it out in the video list!
@@WoodNerds Thanks. I guess I asked it wrong. I was wondering if it worked good or not. I've seen them for sale before but wasn't sure if it was garbage or not. Thanks again and I believe that was the FASTEST reply I've ever seen :-)
Haha, I really like it. Kills flies, spiders, and scorpions!
Hey man awesome video. I had a question did you used mdf board 24x48? If those what thickness? Thanks again
Hey! Thank you! Yeah, it’s 2’x4’ particle board. I think it’s 1” thick.
Any reason you prefer Titebond III over II and I? I forgot what my preference was since my last shot at woodworking... I seem to recall reading someone say they were making cutting boards and noticed they each dry a different color, which could be problematic.
They are all different colors although I try to clean up any push out. Titebond III is great for shop stuff and outdoor items as it’s not flexible with the wood as it expands/contracts with temps and humidity.
Is there a reason to use screws for the steps instead of Brad nails?
Additional stability! Brads will likely work (especially with glue) but screws will be a lot better.
Subscribed :-)
Thanks Alex! I appreciate it!
what is the distance between ladder rungs?
Might just have to try this out! I just saw the other video before this so I don't know your set up yet but wouldn't a miter saw make this significantly easier?
The jig is definitely worth it if you plan on making a few ladders. As for the miter saw, It’s all up to how proficient you are with your tools! For me to measure and make 4 cuts (+2 including the angles on the bottom) with my circular saw, it’s less work than setting up my miter and cleaning up when putting it away. If you have a miter station setup already and you use some stop blocks, you’d be able to save a few minutes for sure! Being this is such a small beginners project, I also felt it would be more relevant to use more basic tools to show that it can be done that way for some of the beginners out there with starter tools. But if I was personally going to make a dozen of these I would definitely use a miter or table saw with some stop blocks to bang out all the repetitive cuts!
So once all is said and done do you ship or carry out only? Or better put how do you get finished product to customers hands?
Good question Don! I haven’t shipped one but you could +shipping to your project at the customer’s expense. I sell pretty good just on FB marketplace and the Offer Up app.
Hi mate, new subscriber here. Liking your videos alot! Any other projects for beginners? Preferably projects like this that could easily sold? Thanks again I am really enjoying your content! Cheers from Australia
Hi, thanks for watching! Hope everything is going well over there! I have a couple more planned, might be a little bit before I get to them. I have a couple shop builds I have to complete (should still be fairly easy) first. Cheers!!
I’m so glad I found your channel!! Your videos are awesome and insightful! In the other video you said it took about an hour to build. Can you quantify how much time the jig saved you?
Thank you so much! I really appreciate the feedback! I’d say around 10-20 minutes. It also saved frustration and stress which is definitely worth it. Having something to hold the rungs in place at the right angle while you drill and screw is really nice. It also takes away the need to make all those measurements. For around $9 it’s definitely worth it if you’re going to make a few ladders.
@@WoodNerds Ok. Thanks for the info! Keep up the good work. 👍🏻
Of course! Happy to help! Thank you!
So you don't think it's really necessary to add glue to the steps on the blanket ladder? I mean it's only holding blankets so I guess it's not necessary.
Yeah, it’s unnecessary and adds extra stress when you go to stain. You’ll have to make sure and sand all those areas again because wood glue won’t accept stain!
will you sell the jig pieces ?
Out of curiosity, what are the dimensions of you ladders in terms of height and width?
Would nails be better so you could hid them with wood putty?
Sure! You could do that as well. Nails would be easier!
How did you manage to get your nail gun to shoot at an angle like that? I’ve been trying but mine just won’t do it
Do you have the same nailer that I have? I’ve never had a problem with weird angles outside of space restrictions. If it’s not firing at those angles I would say it’s probably because the safety tip isn’t depressed far enough.
@@WoodNerds you’re right! Just got It lol I was trying to create the jig right now, thank you!
Of course! Happy to help! Let me know how it turns out!
Where do you buy your wood?
In my area, I use Lowe’s, but each store quality can be different. If you have a lumberyard near you I would probably opt for that.
Wood Nerds Thank you. Well I’m getting into carpentry but a lot of people tell me that I pay to much for wood at Lowe’s or Home Depot. I just finished a vanity makeup with mirror and spend like 280$ on materials so Im not sure if it is a lot or not. And yes I’m gonna go check and compare prices at a lumberyard.
Yeah, unfortunately it’s not cheap, and the recent rise in prices doesn’t help. Let me know what you find out at the lumberyard!
Do you have to use screws or could you just use glue and nail gun? I wouldn't think a blanket ladder needs to support that much weight.
You’re absolutely right! Nails and glue should be good. I use screws because glue doesn’t like end grain but like you’re saying, it’s not really bearing a load. I had to smash a frame I built with nails and glue to get it to fail.
@@WoodNerds That is what I thought. I think you could speed up production dramatically.
Absolutely! I try to use nails whenever possible. Saves a lot of time!
Thanks for the video.....great idea! Question, in your other video you mention 15 degrees on the steps but here you said 25 degrees. Did you just change your approach slightly or was this a (very minor) error. Clearly not that big a deal but I am just curious. Love your work, thanks again from a newbie.
Hey Joseph! Thanks for watching! If I’m being honest, the leaning angle isn’t typically something I measure. I normally just eyeball it. The variance between those two ladder bottoms is so slight, but if I don’t put a number out there in the video, the internet is going to ask what angle I used. To your point though, consistency is best! Great catch!
@@WoodNerds Haha, not judging from my side....love your work, thanks for the reply and clarification. Have a great weekend!
Can you use a nailer rather than screws for the steps?
Hey! Absolutely! It’s for decoration only so nails should be fine! I would probably add a dab of wood glue if you’re going this route (just for added stability and less customer dissatisfaction).
@@WoodNerds Thanks so much for the speedy response. You're awesome. Keep up the great work!
Of course! Thanks man! I really appreciate it!
Hey Tyler, I'm new on your channel I have a question and I don't know if you can answer me in public, how much do sale this blanket ladder for, I appreciate your answer thank you
Hey Alan! I typically sell mine for around $50. If you’re having trouble pricing, I would suggest you check on your local market to see how much they are going for.
Why do you use titebond 3 as your go-to? Its quite expensive and overkill for something like this that would never get wet...
It’s only a buck or two more and titebond 3 is good for changes in humidity, not just getting wet. This jig stays in the garage and as we are in monsoon season, the humidity will jump 60%
@@WoodNerds Interesting point on the humidity... I don't mean to be a dick, but could you point me to something that backs that point up? Or have you just had a lot of experience with titebond 2 failing after sitting in the garage with the humidity swings?
I’ve only noticed that titebond III is more flexible after curing (suggesting it has more ability to move under expansion and contraction of wood during changes in humidity and temperature). I don’t understand why you’re trying to pick apart a mention of the wood glue I choose to use? Are you a glue salesman? Did you invent titebond II and are offended by me mentioning titebond III instead? What’s the point here?
@@WoodNerds I've just been trying to choose my "go-to" wood glue and have been back and forth between 2 and 3. I chose the 2 when I was standing in the aisle looking at the gallon bottles and noticed the 3 was one and a half times the price of the 2. When you mentioned the humidity aspect, you touched on something I had not considered and after a bunch of googling, I couldn't find anything anywhere that says the 3 handles humidity change better than the 2.
Haha gotcha! My bad! I get a lot of people that love to pick apart decisions I make for literally no reason other than to be difficult! Yeah, I like it because regardless if I’m building for indoor/outdoor it has the most strength out of the titebond family and offers the best solution for weather/humidity applications. I like to buy mostly III because I can switch between intended applications and not worry about the product restrictions. The only thing that III lacks in is set up time (by a few minutes) but I usually clamp or nail my pieces in place so it’s not much of a concern really. I hear great things about gorilla glue as well as elmers wood glue but haven’t tried them yet as titebond hasn’t let me down.
This is awesome man! Thanks. I've made a few of them following your plan. Question, do you angle the top edges as well? If so, what degree?
Thanks Chris! I hope they turned out well! I personally don’t! If you wanted to, it would be a mirrored angle of the bottom ones. That would make them parallel to the floor.
I thought is was 15 degrees not 25?
It’s just an example of how slanted you want it. The difference is very minimal.
@@WoodNerds I agree with Kari "This is SO SMART. I'm used to seeing diy jigs for table saws and such, but not for the final build, and this is AWESOME
I am a medical retired veteran and single father from Ga could you make me a jig like this?
Hey man! I’m not going to hide behind the keyboard and act like I didn’t read your message, I’m sorry to hear your circumstances and sincerely appreciate your service to this country but I don’t have the ability to be making things for others unfortunately, that’s kinda why I make the videos, to share my ideas and help others build things they’ve been wanting but can’t afford to pay others to build or are looking for the experience. I’m working two jobs plus doing this so I even have a hard time trying to put these videos together. If you start building it and have questions I can definitely be available to help answer those for you, but that’s about all I can do to help.
