If you're like me spending $1200 on a Flattening jig ain’t happen. Here are two cheaper options to consider when you need a DIY Router sled / Flattening Jig / Router Jig for our epoxy, slab, panel glue up, or end gain project, the easiest option which we’ll call the “economical jig”, and the almost store-bought option which we’ll call “The NOT $1200 Jig”.

😂😂 the "not $1200 jig" is definitely preferable
Right! 😂😆
New subscriber here. I believe I will be learning a lot from you in the near future. I especially like your T-shirt and what it says, my brother. - Rick, USMC
Awesome, thank you! It is a great shirt, my brother! 🦆
90 degrees! Then at least your cuts came out square🤔😎🤣 great work btw 👍
😂😂😂😂 nice one!
Great options- Chris
Thank you!
Both are great. I love the stops on the first one. That second one is niiiiiiiice.
Thanks! The stops are very convenient.
Great ideas and awesome work showing different options! I need a flattening jig upgrade badly!! Thanks!
Thanks for watching! Either is a great option
Another ingenious work tool to facilitate and implement that safety is the main thing in the work area. congratulations
Thank you!
Second time I have watch this. I'm not there yet, but I'm working on it. Thank you. I am way grateful for your showing your screwups. Mine don't hurt -as much- when I see somebody else has done the same thing. Again thank you for the video.
You are welcome! 😅 better to learn from me than make the mistake yourself.
This video is brilliant - love the builds and the editing style! Subscribed.
Thank you!
Those rails are phenomenal! Like the free jig, love the not $1200 and always appreciate the comic book feel and the quips!
Thank you! It takes time to add the comic feel, but it is worth it! 🦆
Great job Thanks for sharing both ways you made these two flattering jigs
Thank you for checking out the video!
I liked your video. Lots of safety info as well as humor and thinking outside the box! New subscriber! I also like the shirt!
Thank you! Awesome, thanks for the sub! You're not wrong, it's a pretty great 👕. 🦆
Great build summaries. I feel like I'm along for the journey and experience the ups and downs, just like I'm building them. That sled will last you a lifetime.
Thank you! That's exactly what I'm going for with the videos. 🦆
You had me at “iron sharpens iron” …. Great video/project shooting and play by play. You earned my subscription today. Downloading for reference. Looking for more videos and seeing your channel grow wildly. Best of everything…jb…
Awesome, thank you I appreciate it! I got a lot planned for the rest of this year looking forward to sharing it with you. 🦆
OMG I have big pieces of walnut and was going try build flatting jig.Thank you so much for the video and the breakdown.I just found you’re channel last week and subscribed.I enjoy you’re channel and videos.Thank you and keep making them awesome videos.Thanks for parts list also.Have a great day
Thank you for the kind words! Awesome, glad to have you on this journey with me! I hope you also have a great day! 🦆
Great video! I really like how you did two different types. Also, loved the Double Dragon plug. 😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣 thank you! I made my kids watch it not too long ago..... Not a great movie 😂
#childcruelty
😂 it was bad .. but not that bad.
Loving your videos! I especially enjoy the parts where you say things like “semi-pro tip” and “I’m just doing this to show you all.” Keeping it down to earth!
😂😂😂😂😂 thank you! They are some of my favorite parts too!
Love the video. I will definitely be buying one as well.
Awesome! Thank you
First, love the video. I need to make one of these and I am also cheap... frugal maybe? Either way you have discovered what we at work call "frupid". It's the act of attempting to save money that has unwanted and easily avoidable outcomes... which makes it a stupid idea LOL!! Don't take it wrong, I have made many, and will make more, frupid decisions in my life.
🤣 🤣 🤣 This channel is all about laughing at oneself! I am clearly frupid! 😂. Sometimes you have to learn the stupid way 😁.
I generally stare for days, weeks, and months at slabs to get them surfaced and flat.
Another free option is to negotiate with the slab. Ask them questions like, "Don't you want to be flat and smooth?" or "Wouldn't you prefer to be a table in in a nice climate controlled room rather than living outside?"
So far, neither strategy has worked out, but I haven't given up hope just yet
That's one way to try 😂
🤣🤣🤣
Another great video. I like the keep it simple vibe you got going. Looks like your starting to build all the things you’re going need for some big projects coming up!
Thank you! I sure am ready to move on to projects that aren't going to say in the shop!
Way better than "Good enough" 👍
Sometimes you need more than just "Good enough" 😂
@@fiveduckstudio indeed
indeed indeed
Wow I didn’t realize you could do that
Now you know! 🦆
Love it! I need to build me option one.
Thank you. You wont regret it!! 🦆
Love your videos. Definitely worth doing but rather just watch your videos and criticize you instead. Much easier. 🤷🏻♂️
😂 😂 😂 I welcome all criticism! I may reply with a sarcastic remark, but it's all in good fun. 🦆
😂😂😂😂
Hey, also, you’re a fast talker, but you kept your pace slow enough for me to follow most of what you said the first time 😅.
😂😂😂 I blame my Mom
Awesome video again mate.
I’ve made the free one before but I think for the next table I do then I might be trading g up to the not$1200 sled.
Thanks for sharing.
Thank you! Yeah it's a nice upgrade... Just don't install such a long dust brush. I don't know what I was thinking 😂
You should’ve conferred with The Wife, she could’ve told you….
🤣🤣🤣🤣 she did..... I didn't listen 😬
@@fiveduckstudio I learnt a lot of years ago that forgiveness is easier to get than permission!!
Very true 😂
I still think you could have got that first slab through the thicknesser at the beginning 😂
I gave up too fast. That's on me 😂
Nice
Thank you
Nice Video man. Where did the idea of that mobile dust collector arm at the wall came from and Do you have measurements?
Best regards 😊
Thanks! The idea came from Lincoln St.
Here's the link to his video:

Great video man. What made you start your channel?
Thank you. The need for money to feed my kids 😆 that's the main one.
How much time did you spend on either project? Including planning and sourcing the material? After all, that is a big part of the cost unless you are a hobbyist.
It's hard to say as filming adds a lot of time to the build. Neither took me more than a day to build while filming. Neither of these things are new ideas so, planning and sourcing materials would be no more than an hour. But it depends on how quickly someone decides on things. Most hobbyist will have the scrap pile to make it happen. That's true, but if you need a flattening jig, but also need to buy a domino having a cheaper option is nice. 😆
@@fiveduckstudio As I said, not so relevant for a hobbyist. But it is still worth considering.
At an hourly rate somewhere between $35 and $70 (salary + workshop + electricity +++) this adds up quickly.
No good dust collection == more cleanup time, whenever you use it* == more cost on all subsequent projects.
Btw, would love to see the 3 jigs compared in use.
*And cleaning is the part of the project we all love the most 🤣
Yes indeed! everything has a cost to it, we just have to figure out the worth to us. Like cleaning.... Horrible and a time waster, but also 100% required 😢.
