The jig is really impressive but... your generosity in sharing it even more so. Also, as a person with a limited ability to think "spatially", I really appreciate what an excellent teacher you are. Many thanks.
sorry to be off topic but does anyone know of a method to get back into an instagram account..? I was stupid lost my login password. I love any tricks you can give me!
@Clay Jesiah Thanks for your reply. I got to the site through google and I'm in the hacking process now. Looks like it's gonna take quite some time so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
Great job on your tooling Tommy. I have made about 30 four person boards and maybe a dozen 6 person boards. I have templates for the the three different patterns, and index from one pin to the next, but your approach is more sophisticated and two steps better. I love learning new tricks. Now, how about your process for making Pins? I just use Lightbright pins but would build my own IF it isn't too time consuming.
Nice, looked complicated at first. You explained the process very well. Only problem I noticed was a Curmudgeon in the background. I follow him as well as I am a woodworker and have started weaving in the past year. His videos are a huge help. Thank you😁
Thank you Tommy for sharing your wonderful idea. I was thinking of making a template with 3mm holes 96 mm on center to build a template to place the holes on my workbench. Once those hole are accurately positioned, I could proceed to make the dog holes using a 20 mm brad point drill bit in conjunction with a DrillMate drill guide to drill the final on my work bench making an accurate mft style top without a CNC.
Great idea, and one that I intend to apply to one of my projects! Would you mind including more detail on how to make the spring loaded device you are using? Thank you!
Sorry for the late reply. The spring loaded device is just a spring over a dowel that is housed in a block of plywood pieces that have been glued and pin nailed together. After writing that sentence, I realize that it's hard to explain without diagrams and pictures lol! I'll try to find some time to add more detail around this.
Wanted to share an idea that I have for making my own version of this game. 1: Every piece would be made of different wood types. 2: Each player would choose a cor for their base. There will be a hole where the home and start are and the player that chooses let's say Red for their Cherry wood base can put their color in that hole with magnets. I also wanna change the design so it can work with a 3 player triangle design. Any tips, or am I crazy?
I like this jig a lot. I am a woodworker who loves coming up with jigs to make things more quickly and more accurately. I’m sure you tried doing this task using a master template as your guide in drilling 3 or more target pieces at once. What was your experience with that? Did it take longer than what you needed up with here? How has your back been since your surgery? I’ve suffered with a bad back for most of my adult life. I went through fusion (L5/S1) 5 years ago and it worked for a while but the pain is back. I keep thinking there has to be a fix to this that really works. Did your surgery in Germany come out of your savings or did your insurance cover it?
Glad you like the jig! I don't have a CNC machine which is why I didn't use one. But if I had one, I would probably time it and see if myself (with the jig) or the CNC is faster.
Hi Tommy... Cool project with a cool jig - absolutely brilliant! Question: What sly woodworking tricks were used to create the jig with accurate hole spacing, guide alignment, accurate fence positioning, spring loaded stop block, etc.? I suspect another interesting "How to make 'secret weapon' jig!" Video in the making! Ha!
That's a very smart solution. Is there a reason why you did not make the jig deeper so that the game boards could be stacked, and you could drill a few in one go?
Looks like a 12" Dewalt GP RAS in the background. And another round arm 50's Dewalt RAS. How many do you have now? In addition to your grandpas 1960 925?
Yep that's an old GP and the other is a 1030 round arm that I hope to get in the bench and make it my main saw one of these days. I've been too busy to give them the attention they need. I had a few others but I sold them because I was running out of walking space in my shop!
@@roccobooysen3611 I've never used a Craftsman RAS but some people seem to like them. Personally, I have a soft spot for the old DeWalts. But no matter which one you use, make sure to get the Mr. Sawdust book at www.mrsawdust.com.

@Clay Jesiah it did the trick and I actually got access to my account again. I'm so happy:D
Thank you so much, you saved my account !
wow! That is a hell of a jig my friend. Love it. Thanks for the video.
I wish you’d do a full build video of the game because that’s exactly the type of game my fam would love!

I noticed your pressure pot on the bench. What do you use that for? Great video.

I don't know how the curmudgeon or the super bad accent came out lol! It wasn't planned. It just happened. I swear!
Still making these game boards?

i never comment but this jig has to be the coolest thing i’ve ever seen
Ha! Glad you like the jig.
Thank you for sharing. I really like the engineering you put into this jig. Thanks for sharing.

great jig. very well thought out.
Nice idea.
As usual a demonstration is better than an explanation :D
Thanks for sharing from France
Thanks for watching! Hopefully the "pretend" demo (without me actually drilling the holes) was enough for you guys to see how this thing works.

cool, so the colors are really just a reminder to self for that particular game thingy , very cool
Yeah the colors just allow you to easily drill the pattern without thinking too much.
Can you share how to build the jig? Very impressive
Made my day... amazing jig!!
This is a great jig. Thanks for sharing your process. I’d be interested to know your reasons for not using a CNC, even if just for the hole drilling.
Glad you like the jig! I don't have a CNC machine which is why I didn't use one. But if I had one, I would probably time it and see if myself (with the jig) or the CNC is faster.
i would like to see that race . the cnc would easily win though .

That's a sweet jig.
That is quite a brilliant solution!
I want to do this sort of jig for the table saw sled and have story sticks for each project to batch.
I want to make it for making plant stands that have half laps and such. Other projects later.
Sounds fun!
Seriously a great jig.
Love to buy a game. But right now you are sold out let me know when you restock. Thanks
What kind of drill bit and what brand do you use. Your holes are clean cut
I found that brad point drill bits make the cleanest holes. I usually just buy the cheap ones at Menards.
Smart solution, very cool. Future saw restoration videos coming on those two fine machines back there?
That was the idea, but I have to find a good way to incorporate them into my setup. Or just restore for the fun of restoring :)
Nice workshop...very organized
You are a genius.
That's a very smart solution. Is there a reason why you did not make the jig deeper so that the game boards could be stacked, and you could drill a few in one go?
If the holes went all the way through the boards then yes, that would have been a good idea. But the holes only go into the boards 3/4 of the way.

super impressed, thanks for sharing.
Like your style, Thanks
Does this jig come with the set of plans?
Ingenious!
Brilliant!
Excellent!!!
Shelf pins come to mind
Yeah that would be a good application for this.
Cool! I noticed a bigger RAS in the background
Yeah I think there are several back there lol!
Great 💡 thanks for sharing
Thanks!
Nice!
Sweet!
Genius 👌🏽👍🏽
I noticed that the Radial Arm Saw moved
Oh, it is a second and third one! What’s up with that?!
@@roccobooysen3611 I guess I have a hard time passing up a good deal on quality machines that are made of unobtanium.
I’m going to buy one of these, but a craftsman, one of the more recent ones. No idea if they are any good. Any advice?

Drilling a gridbeam. (Google it.)
I Googled it, but I'm still not really sure what it is??
Yes. You need to read what google find. For instance the very first hit. www.gridbeam.com
A beam/stick with many drilled holes at specific places.
@@adoby83 I did read that but still not sure how that is the same?
CLEVER
Brilliant!!!
