The
Doweling Jig V2 is here and available for order!
It is hard to believe it
has been a year and a half since I introduced my first doweling jig
for sale here. Even more difficult to believe how much better
it has gotten. |

Template
doweling jig
You don't need to spend
$200 on an accurate doweling jig. My template doweling jig is
precision machined from cast acrylic (accurate to within thousandths
of an inch). And at only $40 (including shipping), everyone can
afford to have one of these in their tool chest! |

Drill
press column-mounted fence
This fence attaches to the
column of my drill press and maintains registration to the chuck when
the table is adjusted. Very helpful when drilling into the
edges of rectangular workpieces that need to be rotated, or any other
time when you may need to adjust the table, but don't want to lose
fence registration. |

Ball
bearing hinge
Two ball bearings with some
set-screws allowed me to create a durable and very smooth-moving
hinge for a small box. |

Planer

The plain
easiest/dumbest/most foolproof planer sled technique you've ever seen
in your life. |

Mortising
jig
This little jig works with
a Dewalt palm-router with plunge base to provide almost Domino-like
mortise slots. |

Audible
tension gauge
When I wrote this, my
current bandsaw (a little Delta 10" BS150LS) had no tension
scale. Instead, the manual instructed the user to twist the
tension knob a different number of times depending on the size of the
blade. Of course, the manual only went to 3/8" wide
blades, and the blade I wanted to use was 1/2" wide. Not
only that, but we've all read the stories of the hopelessly
inaccurate scales on many saws. So I decided to tackle the
problem from another direction. |

Sliding
doweling jig
Dowels can be a great
(albeit kinda slow) way to join wood. I have used several
different kinds during my life. I finally just made my own. |

table circle jig
If you're going to build
one of my separator lids, you may find one of my router table circle
jigs helpful. |

Cyclone
separator lid w/ cyclone separator baffle
By far the most popular
project I've posted here. Since originally posting
(11/24/2007), the page has accumulated well over 100,000 hits.
My best estimate is that there are now over one-thousand woodworkers
around the world that have built their own from information on my
page, and the discussion
forum. |

BT3000
table saw
As I update this site, I
simply cannot believe I originally created this page nearly five
years ago [I'm updating again and now it has been nine years!).
This is still my only table saw, and while I know this is the table
saw that woodworkers love to hate, I have had a love affair with mine. |
