EASY Tablesaw Jigs for Every Woodworker! 

THANKS, you actually speek simple English, not Tec-ese. Whew, finally I get it!!!!!!!!!!💜

I've had my table saw for a few months now and I'm definitely finding a need for a cross cut sled. I got on RU-vid and came directly to your channel, April, and I found this video. I'm not a professional wood worker....just a home handyman and hobbyist, so I don't need a super serious sled (for now, lol). This video is perfect for the cross cut sled and that 45 degree jig will also come in handy. Thanks very much for sharing your videos!!!

This is the first time I have seen the thin strip jig. I’m going to make this . You are easy for me to understand. Thanks for making the videos. Tommy

Thanks for posting, April. Even this 82 year old can learn a new trick or two.

subscribing on the strength of this video. Being self taught and having a fool for a teacher I need things explained simply enough for an idiot to understand without being made to feel like an idiot.

Thin strip jig looks super easy! Absolutely no reason on earth to make jigs complicated. Thank you for taking the time to share your knowledge.

Hi April, I've been watching your channel for a while now and love it. I have a small shop in my garage (which needs a bit of a sort out).. thanks for the free plans for the table saw jigs, I've been meaning to make something like this for a while and never seemed to get around to it. You have given me the push to get out there and do it! Great to see another woman who loves woodworking as much as I do! Greeting from Canada (Alberta).

I am very impressed with your knowledge and skill. It is most unusual to find a young lady who is interested in woodworking arts and also great with communication skills for video. I am sure you have a pile of edits we don't see but I am still pleased each time I view your presentations.

Hi April, good basic stuff. It is nice to see you back with traditional woodworking.

Thanks for the frame jig. what you did in 30 mins took me all day but rewatching your video 4 times gave me the perfect 45 degree corner I desired.

I love how you keep it simple. There are no unnecessary, time-wasting operations.

Nice information

I keep throwing together temporary/throw-away jigs and sleds like these just as fast as possible when needed, from the crummiest CDX scrap I have laying around. They last long enough to do the job at hand and then they end up in the scrap pile where they unflattify, warp, twist, de-laminate or otherwise are rendered useless the next time I need them. Partly it's a function of not having any good place to hang them up where they will be safe from damage, but I also figure, "Some day I'll have some time and I'll make really good ones from nice solid materials and I'll equip them with stops, toggle clamps, etc." Some day never seems to arrive. But the ones you've done here are nicely thought out, quick and easy to make, and durable enough to last well until "some day" really does arrive. Seeing as how I am in isolation like everyone else, I just finished a nice storage cabinet to tuck under the right wing of my table saw, and there's plenty of room in it to hold not only the push sticks, tenon maker, and other "good" jigs I've made, but these as well. I think I know what tomorrow's project is going to be.

The thin strip jig is just what I need this morning. All of the jigs presented today are good ideas. Thank you for sharing, and keep healthy.

I’m so new that I’ll be back in 2 weeks to watch it again 😅 Great work girl! 😊

You made it look so easy. My table saw arrived today. These jigs are the first things to be made. Thank you.

The timing is crazy on this April! I was literally watching table saw jig videos all morning before starting to build all mine, and 2 hours in, you release a video this EXACT topic! 😂 Thank you! 😘

Nicely done and seems much more simple than many of the sled videos I've seen. Thanks.

Thanks so much for these. I made 2 of them today and will try the third next weekend. I was suffering from analysis paralysis and you helped me get back to simple. The biggest fear I had was the runners and your first jig worked great.

Excellent!!! Thanks for share your work.

I really do learn something new from watching your videos. Your ripping small piece jig is simple, easy to make and pretty genius. Well done and thank you...

Both my son and I just bought table saws and want to stay safe with one of most dangerous tools in our garage. This video was a great start of Jigs and safety Thanks.

These look quick and easy to make for my beginner workshop! Thank you, April for the free plans! You're awesome.

I good project for self-isolation. Thanks for all your work and advice.

Very clear and detailed description of the process. Based on your example, I'm going to make a 45 degree miter jig for my home woodworking shop. Thank you very much for the lesson! You are the best.

I just got a table saw, so I came online looking for some information about using it and different tips and techniques. Wanted to say, of all the videos I have watched, you're the one that has taken the time to really explain what you are doing and why. I appreciate that a lot!!! Thank you.

The very last piece of advice "use both fences so that the mitre cuts align" is actually crucial to get perfect results. It is harder to do on a frame though...

April, as a newbie I need all the help I can get .And although these items you have made are basic,they will help me to get started.thanks for showing us these gigs. It's s great start.

It’s probably been said but I paint the top of the back reference board where your hands will be red. It assists in making you aware of the blade pass through danger area.

Already built a crosscut and miter sled but now I will build the "thin strip" sled as well. That is a great idea. Thanks April!

Hallo April ich bin Stefan aus Deutschland und ich finde deine Projeckte Klasse. Mach weiter so und bleib wie du bist.

I discovered your channel today. You are awesome! You are a brave, strong and very talented lady. I am learning a lot from you. Thanks for sharing

Great video April, even this old dog can learn a new trick or two. Stay Healthy !!!

The thin strip jig is brilliant. I made one after watching this and it works great, thanks for sharing

your videos are so simple and not complicated

Great video. On my crosscut sled I painted the back block red (to remind me of the danger), and I waxed the bottom so it slides real easy.

I think you are the best for me to learn from . The table I have is a Rigid portable table saw . Your metre ,cross cut and put bar are the best thanks so much

Great video! Brains, beauty, and clear explanations of three vital jigs. I've watched other videos that just get way too anal about certain things, and often way too detailed in how they build their jigs. There is something to be said for keeping it simple, and you did a great job of that! I'm just now starting to build up my wood shop and so I need some good jigs. I'm going to build a couple tomorrow. I'm inspired!! Thanks, April.

I'm brand new to woodworking and found this video super helpful an easy to follow and informative video. Thank you Alan UK

Good stuff, young lady. I hope you're getting some relief from the kidney infection. Take care.

I now feel like I can tackle making my first cross cut sled this weekend. Nothing fancy or expensive hardware, but will get the job done all the same. Thanks for the video!

Simple but very helpful accessories.

probably the first thin strip jig for table saw. Thanks for sharing

Thank you for the great video. During current self-isolation, this video helps to spend time interesting.

To you and your family, stay safe and healthy. Thanks, John

I have watched a bunch of similar videos and your is by far the best, no major drama just get it done -- perfect!! and thanks

Thank You! Finally someone said in plain words what a ‘cross cut’ is. And your visual really put a ‘face’ to the explanation! Kudos!!!

made the miter jig. it works perfectly. thanks

You have a new fan here. Outstanding videos that are easy to understand and get straight to the point.

I really like the Quick & Thick glue. I have been using it on segmented bowls I have been making. I really like the thin strip jig. That is one I will have to make.

Hi April, I have watched polts of videos on making sleds but this has to be the one that describes the processes the easiest. I still have to make my sleds so I will be using your methods. Cheers, Huw

Thanks for the useful tips you have given, Wishing everyone a good and safe week.

Jut downloaded the plans. Thanks April!. I watch your videos but rarely comment......you are an inspiration to this old man, and fellow Texan. I concentrate on making freehand cut wood signs with a router (I follow Eric Rhoten on RU-vid channel "Oldave100" and have attended one of his training seminars). I have needs for building all three of these jigs. So your timing was perfect! Thanks again for all you do for all of us!!

I am very jealous of your shop. I think I know what I want my future shop to look like!

I made a cross cut sled some time ago but shy'd away from a mitre jig this video has de-mystified the process also the thin strip jig is one i will definitely make. Thanks April, great video.

Brilliant, thanks very much for the detailed run through. Being as I'm currently self isolating I shall be heading to my workshop and making these.

So much better than 1 jig in 3 videos!

I am going to build them. Thank You for sharing your skills and knowledge. You're the Best! Best Wishes. Grandpa Jones. 😃

Always look forward to your videos whether they are beginner tips and trick or more advanced. You and the channel have come a long way and I applaud you. You are great

April you are amazingly smart. Another great video

Hope that you are feeling better. Stay strong.

Супер си много ме вдъхновяваш, блазе ти много си сръчна и талантлива. Много ми харесва всичко което правиш наслаждавам ти се, жена - майстор, уникална си. Гледам и следя със вълнение всяка твоя творба, браво на теб Желая ти все по-вече успехи в живота, бъди благословена от Господа 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻💖💖💖🌈🌈🌈

Hi, I watch a lot of woodworking videos and I really liked your 45 degree jig build. You explained the build really well. Thank you

Bare bones is all I needed for a quick project I am doing. I did not want to build some crazy involved jig that does a 100 things. Thx for the vid April.

thanks for taking the time to make this video. been having problems with my 45's and a quick sled should take of it

I just came across this channel, good stuff, she's 1 in a million, talented and fearless.

Once again a practical, informative and simple instructional video. Thank you April.

Shut the dust collection system… holly guacamole… wow…that is a beast… in all seriousness, I’m a big fan, love your videos and craftsmanship. Thanks for sharing!

I want to learn from you, you are the best, I am from Algeria

Hello April, I have been following along with your videos and enjoying watching you of doing your creative skills and talents. Thank you for your helpful ideas. Keep up with your hard works.👍 🙂

Thanks for the video. Best one I've come across. Two down and one angle jig to go. Can't wait to get going with this jig. I'm just a hobbiest but love trying new stuff 😊Thanks again

Your outtakes and bloopers are like my everyday woodshop experience 🤣

Loving this, will get on this soon. Love the rooster crow at :23.

Excellent video now i need to build all three of these for my saw

April, when I acquired a new tablesaw one of the first things I made was a crosscut slide. Since my area is pretty wet, I did not want the tablesaw table to get rusty and made the slide big enough to cover it. 16 or 18 years later, it has worked both as a crosscut slide and as a table protecter.Dave

Super simple, great quick project for being stuck inside.

April, thanks. Sometimes basic Woodwoking is best thank you. Keep the educational videos comming.

Awesome....something straight to the point. Rocket engineering diagrams, or launch codes needed!! Just something simple, that still will give you good results in the end......or, well, where ever you may set a stop block.......for your miter cuts.........on a table saw......

very helpful! I tend to over complicate some things and dont end up doing it due to time. This will get me going and likely will do well for years to come!

Thank you, April. Appreciate that you included plans.

April, I've been wanting to build a crosscut sled for awhile; storage in my French Cleat shop has been an issue for me. While watching you build this it dawned on me, I can put the cleats on the top corners of the front and rear fences. They won't be very big but should be sufficient for the task. THANKS !!!

Good projects. The thin-strip sled is a good addition. I would make the two larger sleds the same size, just for storage efficiency.

Good job April ! Three very simple and VERY useful jigs that really help a lot around your shop when using the table saw. They do make working more fun and accurate! Thanks for sharing with us. Fred.

I made this miter sled today, thanks April!

Very basic, great for an amateur like me. Thanks so much

Made all three today💪. I have more projects to complete and these are going to help🤓. Thanks!

Hi April, you are truly amazing and professional. Enjoy seeing your works

Hello my beautiful dear, you are wonderful. I admire your work. I follow you from Morocco. I am in my shouting stage. Thank you.

All good! A suggestion; HD and L's both sell metal stock in both ferrous and aluminum- use a flat stock piece of aluminum to make your cleats on the bottom of your sliding jigs. Good to see you up an running- it's been a rather quiet Winter from your corner- some of us missed you!

Thanks April, I was just about to make a plan for miter cuts for my table saw , Great timing

Wow I love the first jig. First time seeing that. This will be in my small itty bitty shop soon!!

I now know what I'll be doing tomorrow. Thanks for this!

Most simple thin strip jig I've seen. Going to make it. Have procrastinated making the miter sled for 10 years, largely, I think, because of how complex I see them made. I think I'll do this one though.

Hello April , you are a restless girl I so proud of you . but today is my very sad day coz we lost my favorite singer Mr.Kenny Rogers and I hope on your next video can you please kindly let your background music the Gambler by Kenny Rogers finally I wish you all the best and to be safe you and your beloved family your love one as well from this CORONAVAIRUS God Bless us all and take care

You never let us down.

All really well done April👍

Awesome tips April Thank You

👍🏼 I need to make the thin strip and miter

Thanks for the video. Happy Mother's Day... I really need a wife with at least half of your woodworking skills :)

Thank you April, Simple, useful, well explained and great ideea
