That looks like a really nice design. Good job. A sturdy tapering jig is a pleasure to use.

Your welcome, and thanks. The idea came from a article a year or two back in Fine woodworking. So i cant really take all the credit. But its my intention to share my ideas and jigs i feel may help someone else do something more safely and/or accurately. As my uncle Terry in Fla says… Pass it on!

SLICK! I like how you can taper either way. I suppose you can make a wider version for a more aggressive taper if you want?

You could Skillet, and or longer too. This one is around 38” long i believe, i cant remember now.

Very nice jig and well thought out.

Thanks for sharing the design – it took me a while to understand Skillet’s remark about tapering either way, but I got it eventually.
This design would have been handy when I decided to taper some table legs AFTER I had cut the mortices!
I had to disassemble my metal taper jig and remake it upside down (after drilling a couple of extra holes) to get the end stop and push handle in the right places to do the ‘other’ tapers.
