My First Jig - Taper Jig - very simple to build but very effective

Hi Folks,

My first jig is a taper jig. Not much to say, there is a small hinge at the back of the Jig. I used 2” x 3” lumber to keep the weight down.

I needed to make scores of shelf supports for garage shelling as shown. I like this design, bracketts are fastened to vertical 2×4’s. The 2×4’s are screwed in the framing studs. Then I can put what ever shelf material I want across 2 or more of these supports.

Using the jig I made 40 brackets, all the exact same, in one afternoon.
