The design is a compilation of several different jigs- can’t take credit for any of them. Tried to keep the costs down by using easy to find hardware and making the knobs. The jig measures about 36” long by 10” wide. The slot spacing is so that long, medium or short stock can be held in place. The end hold down has an extra cleat to help hold the end of the stock from sliding back towards the operator.

Thanks for the kind words.
Maybe we should start a section just for homemade jigs. I know we can search for them but it might be nice to have all of them in one place. I know I am constantly trying to make repetitive operations safer and quicker by designing (or copying) a jig. An all in one source/location may help everyone.

Love the home-made knobs! Some kind of indexing jig on the lathe?

I also made a tapering jig utilizing some KREG holddowns , knobs and other hardware…..looks like I could have saved quite a bit of $$$ if I had seen this fine example first !!! thanks for posting it : )

Holy cow, you actually have a craftsman router/jigsaw table in your extension table. Too funny. I have one in the box and contemplated sinking it into my extension. I thought the ribs would get old fast though. Nice jig btw.

Very nice tapering jig. I’m trying to find some plans for jigs. I think this one is a keeper.
