Project Information

I've made this tapering jig over a weekend, size is 12"x36". It's very simple and easily made with standard shop materials. The base is made from repurposed 3/4" plywood, that was a shelf before. And then some red oak for the runner and fence. The fancy handle is maple. I routed out a few slots and screwed on a track put in a few bolts and knobs on and to top it off some clamps. Did I mention I added screws into the runner to keep it running tight and straight. Works well as a tapering jig and is able to joint a face too. I added a single screw to reference off a single point and plan to add a laminate top to the surface soon, this color is killing me.

Thanks for looking and to all the LJ's who posted designs before me, I looked at all of them and came up with this for me it will be perfect.

Nice one Geoff.
Things like this are so nice to have.
The dark Honey Dew Brown is a bit dark for my taste too. Ha - it is just for the shop.
