Very nice jig. I'll make one this weekend using plywood scraps and use it to spline a cabinet drawer. I'm really impressed by the quality of your videos Alex. Thanks for taking the time to share your knowledge and experience with us.
i love comments the health and safety is a wooow really ment for fools who got no right to hold or use a sharp tool..keep it up lad... but learn how to nick ..um i mean borrow better wood lol
Always great to see young people taking up the craft. Make sure you keep your fingers further away from you table saw lade though! NEVER UNDER THE GUARD!
Your jig concept is good. However take a bit more time to get it neat and square. All though checked it I susepct it isn't. Why did you miter the point. Glued and screwded would have made it much easier to assemble. On that note, make sure your remove the edges of laminate to get a good glue joint!
Your use of scraps to make a jig is admirable. Some guys will cut you down for not making a jig look pretty, but pretty is not what a jig is made for. While it does look rough, it works. Your shop is VERY tight, and I see that you've removed the right wing from your table saw because there's not enough room. I would try my best to find a different place for the table saw for safety's sake. It's the most dangerous tool in any wood shop. Be safe.
@ic3ss Also, I would avoid a power sander when trying to flatten out the splines. I cut off as much of the splines that are proud of the surface as I can with a utility knife, then use a scraper to bring it down flush and smoothe with the surface. The power sander will round down the corners and the edges before it gets the splines flush, then youre stuck with sides of the box that are not flat. The scraper takes no more time than a sander. It's harder to use but will give much better results.
I've some thoughts watching your video. I know your shop is tight but if you have to do glue ups on your tablesaw you might want to cover the top of it first. I think I saw at the end why you were gluing up on your tablesaw with tools all over your bench. So think about making yourself a nice cabinet or chest for your tools, maybe one of those wall hanging ones. It is likely a project you'll enjoy. Anyhow keep up the great work!
I think people are missing the point of this jig...Jigs are tools that are usually not seen by the general public but made to help the woodworker accomplish a task.They are not made to impress anyone. As long as they accomplish the taks for which they are designed, then the appearance of the jig is immaterial. I say Kudos to you young man for advancing your knowledge and skills in the noble art of woodworking.
Alex, I love this joint. It's so simple yet it's very handsome.
You could make a jig that has angled blocks on the two end pieces, then connect those end pieces together w/ 2 parallel boards that are higher than the saw blade. That way the 2 boards that get chewed up by the saw can be fixed to the angled blocks w/ screws & can be replaced when they are no longer useful.
I'm over 60 and I wish I had your skill when I was a teenager. Don't pay any mind to those negative people. What have they ever made. You will be a pro soon enough. Just keep up the great work. Thanks.
@Jay2525Jay I got interested in woodworking later in life myself. Not that I regret what I did when I was younger but really I'd bought a lot of tools for working on other things and when I wasn't doing that I was like I have all these tools and things just sort of took off from there.
Great use of scrap wood for the jig...It does not matter what it looks like as long as the end result is good..Which it was...I have a spline jig and they do not need to look state of the art or professional as some here have said...It does its intended purpose and that's all you can ask for...Good job....Keep the vids coming...
Great video Alex! I wouldn't take any notice of the negative feedback, if I was as clever and confident as you at your age I would be very proud of myself, keep up the good work my friend, regards Matt.
Good job. Nice to see people making expendable jigs as they are very useful. Perhaps you could have taken a bit more care in getting everything square, but if it produces a consistent and usable result then great!
Ok, thanks for th feedback, are you talking about the video or the jig.
The jig has a function and is expendable because after doing a number of splines you begin to cut the ig apart so it didnt really make sense for me to use brand new boards.
I cant believe that 2 people already have disliked this.
