Chair leg jig

Good job . I see you put alot of work into it. I hope this is a jig you can use forever. When I make a jig I just use lumber dogs screwed by the side tight i never use the hold down screw because I make so many different chairs. If your making one chair type all the time it is well worth the time invested.

This is the second time I’m making the same chair, so I made it easy on myself. For different styles, I can move the rails and add more threaded holes if I need. This was very easy to make, so maybe I’ll just leave it alone and do another one if the design changes.

Very cool. Haven’t made chairs yetbut they’re in the near future. Thanks for the tip!

Nice jig, I love when people post jigs, when I need to do a similar project I can use what I learned from here. It’s on my project list. Thanks for posting.

Nice taper jig. I have made two jigs for tapers. There are so many ways of skinning this cat, (just figurative speaking of course) that we could have a whole new section at LJ to discuss the benefits of each one.
Yours does look perfectly suited for your purpose. Thanks for sharing it.

Another option is to rough cut on the bandsaw, then pattern rout the leg on all long edges. This way you can cut the front and back of a shaped chair leg.
Glad your method is working for you.
