    I bought your sketchup plans (because you deserve the support) and will build this jig today. One thing I was a bit disappointed with: It would be really helpful to have the dimensions of all the pieces on the Sketchup. That would have saved me the time it took to go through your video, stopping and starting as I copied dimensions to the sketchup drawing. I'll be using this jig mostly to make dowel blanks for my lathe, which will make getting to round a lot quicker. I will modify the jig to match my lathe bed, which is longer for making things like walking sticks. Hopefully there won't be too much flex and chatter if I make a longer dowel. Thanks for this. I have high expectations. Particularly impressed with the finish you got right out of the jig, something I couldn't achieve with my other dowel jig for the table saw, which came close to being a total failure.

    Very well done. One problem I had. I am using Mahogany to make the legs. It is not a true "hardwood" in my experience, and the T Nuts were slipping out, and making a grove. So I went out and bought some hanger bolts and drilled them into the leg. So far I think it will work. Thanks Alfab

    This is PHENOMENAL!!! It's amazing just how expensive buying legs like those that you made is. To see how easy it is to "turn" your own despite not having a lathe is awesome! Thanks so much for sharing this incredibly useful jig.

  • @victorlane1762
    @victorlane1762 4 роки тому +1

    Just made my own version of this, it works perfectly. One note, double check the taper degrees. I used a digital protractor to scribe 1, 2, 3 and 4 degree lines on the sled. I did a test cut at 1 degree and used math to calculate the taper. The actual taper was almost exactly 2 degrees. I had marked a 1 degree line then removed material on both sides of the workpiece, which created a 2 degree taper. Math!

    • @MichaelAlm
      @MichaelAlm  4 роки тому

    Your work has given me some great ideas for my own shop! I really appreciate you taking the time to share these. I made your table saw leg turning jig and after A couple hours of use I modified it. It is now continuously adjustable. at both ends.

    • @MichaelAlm

  • @Arterexius
    @Arterexius 4 роки тому

    I'm a bit lathe to the party, but upon seeing this jig, I instantly thought that the spinning motion could be automated with a stepper motor. The stepper motor would probably need a box, but it should be possible to set up and thus make it at tad bit safer (by not having to both push the jig safely through a running, high speed blade, but also make sure to keep a drill level while doing so). The reason for choosing a stepper motor over a normal motor, would be adjustable speed. I've definitely saved this for later. And subbed too. There's some impressive content on your channel here that I wish to try out in the future

  • @mdvener
    @mdvener 4 роки тому

    Great video, in more ways than one. The time n material used to make round legs is so much cheaper than a lathe. Plus you could makethe jig longer, even square up the tops. Possibility r enendless.Thanks so much for sharing.

    Nice simple design. I like that it also doubles to trim down to octagonal. Unfortunately I have an antique table saw with a smaller 8" blade, and not sure it will work with the "side cut" like that. I'll have to investigate.

  • @rbwoodwork1890

    Great vid! A suggestion, you could use a short piece of “T” track under the swing end to change the angle. Just a thought.

    • @sigi9669
      @sigi9669 4 роки тому +1

      I was just thinking that.
      Also, would it not make sense to do the same thing on the tail end to be able to do different diameter legs altogether?
      This would introduce the possibility of accidentally setting the taper in reverse but I don't see a danger in that. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

    • @Scadaboy

    one of my kids wanted a pair of mid-century tables that had splayed round tapered legs. Boom! After making up the square blanks, I was able to get all 9 legs done inside of 1.5 hours. I say 9 legs because when you're dealing with a prototype and something in unfamiliar territory, you're going to screw one of them up Beyond repair!
