I made many jigs and fixture but, let me tell you….

Supper idea….

And if one day you’ll come to visit me in Poland…....I’ll hide them so you’ll not say that “niki Nicked my idea” :-)

Thank you so much for sharing

i know i sound like an echo…but Great Idea!!!

i’ll be copying these perhaps even this very evening. this idea will save me a couple hundred $’s. thanks so much for posting it. i was thinking of mortising in square holes so that a rectangular peg could be used and perhaps offer a better face for clamping pressure than a round peg, but that is the only change i am going to make…well that and since i don’t have any 2×4’s perhaps i’ll use some scrap red oak.

thanks again!

woodchips, I made some blocks to fit over the 1/2 dowel, flat and with a 45 so I could clamp other surfaces. Thanks for your comments.

OK, I’m into all the jigs. Especially clamps as I have few “good long” ones. Seen many jigs here and elsewhere. This is fairly unique and very much a simple straight forward design. I love how adaptable it could be. See you got some kudos from Niki. Having followed many of his elaborate and highly creative jigs, that is no small kudo. This is a definite until those long sought after parallel clamps make their way into my budget.

Thanks that is a neat idea! I went with the pocket screws but the panel is pretty warped. but i think when i screw it down it will be OK.

good thinking
