CARSON WOODWORKS - Carson Woodworks - Leg Tapering Jig

[burcindevrim]

good job folks, but yeah when you ll quit using those middle age machines without riving knife, sliding table and blade guard kind safety devices, and how can you trust that tiny hold down clamps, take care, keep your attention for your fingers and kick back damages on your face..

Thanks Bradburyguy! I have never tried tapering all four sides, but I would think you could place a wedge under the leg for the third and fourth taper cut. I would probably add a piece of sandpaper glued to two sides of the wedge to insure the leg is securely supported in the jig.

[BradburyGuy]

It appears that you can only taper two sides without making a jig adjustment for the third and fourth, however it would still be more efficient than any other Jig I've seen since the table-saw fence was invented. Excellent work!

I would do it that same way, cut as close to your layout line as you can without touching it. Then smooth the inside and outside the way I show in the video. If you don't have those machines, you can do with a flat sanding block for the outside of the curve and a curved sanding block for the inside. Sand the edges down to the layout lines like I show in the video. Hope this helps.

[MaTaRu39]

i thought it was carson, california, derp!

[drail80s]

I liked how the leading stop was of ecentric design. How clever that was

Good video

Thanks

Carson, You are the MAN! Not only a great demonstration, but That jig is the best and most practical I've ever seen! I bought one of those worthless (unless i recycle the aluminum) WoodCraft aluminum taper jigs—What a joke!

Hey Dude, I think It's cool that we both like Mac Computers, Fly Fishing and Woodworking. I also use to own that CD you are using for background music. Tangerine Dream?

[Sweeper5]

How cool!!!  Sure beats that old hinged metal thing I've been using! Thanks Carson!

Carson your wood rack in the back ground of this video looks first class. Do you have any video on how you built it.

[flycastNW]

Did you ever get my reply to your question? I remember having problems sending it way back then.

[EagleLakeWoodworking]

Nice Jig Carson.

[osprey02]

first class video,you could be the next norm

[johnwelsh696969]

nicely built jig, mine is very similar except i designed mine so that the force that the blade applies pushes the stock into the jig instead of away from it...really doesnt matter too much. nicely done

[HickoryWit]

Cool!
