I had to make 20 stakes yesterday, for concrete shuttering, quickly so I used the 'unsafe method' which didn't give problems at all. I like this jig and I will make one as its more accurate. Thanks James
Thank you so much. Using your technique my stakes came out PERFECT for Vampire hunting season. Everyone knows that the stakes need to be SHARP or it doesn't work as well. Vampires have abilities that protect them from less than perfect stakes. Awesome video.
Been looking for this jig for YEARS!! And the variation to it that allows for a square or rectangular “button” with a very low pyramid such as a trim detail on a wrought iron gate!!! Thanks Colin!!! Yay...
Awesome. Thank you. This worked really well. I had one hundred wooden stakes to sharpen. I followed the instructions to the letter and got them all done. So appreciate people sharing their knowledge like this.
Great video, I modified the jig to create a slot that, after clamping the jig to the fence I could insert a 2x2 in and simply cut without clamping the 2x2 after each rotation - it helped because I had 60 stakes to make
Used similar set up to make grape stakes in an old saw mill when I was a kid in high school, lived in Sonoma County, wine country. The old man used to buy bundles of two by two by twos redwood, we cut to different lengths to get rid of knots, cut tip and stack by size. I think I got two cents each, around 1968. Saw blade was fixed. Got pretty fast at it.
I have to applaud you Colin, I cant remember the last time i saw a UA-cam video showing someone using a hammer and nails, its always the brad nailer that comes out hahah. I thought i was the only one still swinging a hammer!!
Thanks. I will build this jig today. I was going to buy some stakes so I could put them along the edge of my driveway and attach solar lights to them because at least twice a year my beautiful wife manages to drive her car off the driveway and into the deep snow. I did get smart enough to buy a tractor big enough to pull her out though.
At last now I can go after Dracula and all is minions...Fang you Colin I needed this. No for real this is going to help me over the weekend putting up netting at my allotment this is a god send. Thanks for sharing.
For one reason or another I missed this video when it was released. This is a very clever jig and quite easy to make and use (at least how you show it to us). I'll try this out in some weeks. Thanks for sharing.
So this is how I can cut miters for 3-sided picture frames! That would only work if the saw miters both ways. Another great one Colin. Always nice to see your beaming countenance. Why anyone would give you a thumbs down is beyond me. I guess to those who thrive on negativity the rest of us seem to be sickeningly upbeat.
Good to see a jig actually got made for this, wish my work knew of it, my Joiner boss chose to cut 3 freehand once, and I just happened to be nearby as my bench was right next to the saw, and still despite being 3 or 4 metres away, a piece of offcut came flying at me, and got me in the arm as I shielded my head, could of impaled my eye, impaled my arm, bloody dangerous, me and him were bloody lucky, but him being bloody stupid, even doing it on dimension saw would have safer and quicker coz u don't have to keep turning on and off or even lowering the saw and less chance for such a small piece to kick back at ya on a dimension saw, then the drop saw!
Hi Colin. If you screw a length of 2x1 to the inside of the blade edge to the jig you could clamp a block to it as a stop. This would also be quicker than marking every piece to get position. You could also make this to fit onto the mitre gauge of your table saw to achieve the same job. Great channel, please keep up the great shows.
Brilliant little jig Colin, I use a lot of stakes in my gardens and on the piece of ground that I rent ,this will be very useful jig for me Cheers, Bram
Thanks this is just what I needed. I'm making masonic gavels for lodges tis is perfect for the angle duts on the gavel end. Thank you and keep up the tips. :)
Good jig. Has the benefit of being small. I used a tapering jig on my table saw to do something very similar - cutting tapers on the legs of a bedside table.
Hi Colin, I really enjoy your tips that you share in your videos. i have made many of your jigs that you share and so often they're so simple. Great job/
If you just extend the fence or back board the distance to the blade, all sides and cuts would be the same, it will hold your stake. on the bright side of life, I can now fulfill my life's dream of becoming a vampire hunter. lol
6:27 that works but probably an easier and more accurate way is to lengthen your jig so that the end of the jig matches the end of the workpiece so all you need to do is to use your finger to align the end of the workpiece with the end of the jig.
I'm looking to cut two 2 x 6" PT boards 22.5 degrees like this to make a scarf joint for a deck rail cap using a jig similar but 22.5 instead. The joint is to be fastened on top of a 4x4 post. They need to be precise cuts in order to make one long board out of this. Any tips or tricks welcome. I'll be using my old chop saw.
Colin you are a genius! you just helped me figure out how to cut my sawhorse legs exactly the same length!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have been using mustard bottles for years! First time I have seen anyone else using them, GMTA!! Thanks!
I'll make one of these. My wife is always wanting pointed stakes for her garden. Thanks Colin
Hope it helps! Thanks for watching!
The ol "mustard bottle, turned glue-bot" trick is a great idea. Thanks Colin for the video
Awesome. Thank you. This worked really well. I had one hundred wooden stakes to sharpen. I followed the instructions to the letter and got them all done. So appreciate people sharing their knowledge like this.
You've just solved a life-long issue! Thanks!

The mustard bottle for glue is epic!
So simple, thanks Colin. I like that you could also make this a wedge making jig.
Yup, it's dual purpose. Thanks for watching!
What a simple solution to a tropical problem thank you for posting !
You're welcome! Thanks for watching!
Great video! Thank you for taking the time to explain each step! Solved a few miter saw problems for me.
Great jig. New to woodworking and have found labeling jigs is a must to keep track of things!
Nice one 👍 plus you get 4 free wedges every time......can’t ever have too many wedges 😀
Nice point! You can also use this jig for making wedges.
Yup, there's a bonus in every stake! Thanks for watching.
I have to applaud you Colin, I cant remember the last time i saw a UA-cam video showing someone using a hammer and nails, its always the brad nailer that comes out hahah. I thought i was the only one still swinging a hammer!!
Since I follow woodworking videos on You Tube I hardly use nails anymore. Only glue and/or screws or dowels.
Hans de Groot Brads to hold position after applying glue, and then add screws if you want to make sure.

Great video. I will make me one following your instructions.
Thanks Carl, i think you just helped me not cut off my hands!
Thanks for sharing. It will be usefull for me soon in my garden to keep my tomatoes plants up. Cheers from France
Deceptively simple but just what I wanted. Many thanks!
Hope it helps! Thanks for watching!
So simple , but so smart! Your solutions to problems are always awsome! Greetings from your loyal fan from Belgium.
Thanks for watching, Chris!
Yes I think we have all done it free hand without a jig, dangerous but we still do it....lol
Maybe its time i made this jig, thanks for sharing.
Exactly what I needed two days ago!
Thanks so much! Just bought a compound miter saw and I couldn’t find a way to make these tight angles!
A cute angle jig.
Thank You!
Hey Colin, love the videos man!
Thanks for all of your time and knowledge!
Great job Colin thank you 😀👍🏻
Very useful and simple! Intelligent minds make things simple! Gracias Maestro.
I own a mitre saw but not a table saw so this jig will be very useful. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks for watching!
Forget stakes, perfect for making shims safely!
Thanks. I would never have thought of this jig . Simple and safe. I like it.

Very timely. Have had the need to make this kind of cut and couldn’t figure out how to do it safely. Making one now!
Hope it helps! Thanks for watching!
So glad I found your video, I made the jig and all stakes were perfect. Thanks.. great video! 👍
Newbie to woodwork, great jig, i am making a waterwheel and was struggling with accurate 45 degree points on the spokes. Big thanks. :)
Hunting vampires Colin? lol. Nice jig.
Even if I don't use wood often I love your jigs, they are simple but extremely useful. Good job!
Hope it helps! Thanks for watching!
Fantastic video, Thank you!
Merci Colin pour vos partages !

Also, if you're on a job site, you might not have your table saw with you.
Thanks for watching!
Nice jig Colin, thanks for sharing!
You're welcome! Thanks for watching!
thank you for sharing my friend great 👍 video
Great idea. Thanks; Colin.
You're welcome! Thanks for watching!
This is awesome. I really could have used it yesterday!!
Hi Colin, I really enjoy your tips that you share in your videos. i have made many of your jigs that you share and so often they're so simple. Great job/
Thanks for watching, Gerald!
Great idea. Simple with nice results.
Thank You!
Brilliant....thanks for sharing...
Thank you for always being so helpful.

on the bright side of life, I can now fulfill my life's dream of becoming a vampire hunter. lol
Here's to hunting vampires and clicking thumbs up for crushing trolls.
Remember to coat the stake with garlic ;) Thanks for watching.
@@knecht105 yes, yes, better safe than sorry so we better wear hearing protection also., (so we don't hear them scream)
Excellent idea.👍
Great jig, made one a couple years ago and it is super handy.
Was laughing about the labelling - have to do the same thing !
Thanks for watching!
Thank for another very good tip
Really cool and super simple Thanks for sharing your skills. 👍😁
Handy. I use something similar, but for stakes I'd prefer a band saw.
I want to make a temporary fence with stakes . Can I do this technique with 4x4post or round post ? Thank you so much for the tutorial . 👍
6:27 that works but probably an easier and more accurate way is to lengthen your jig so that the end of the jig matches the end of the workpiece so all you need to do is to use your finger to align the end of the workpiece with the end of the jig.
awesome video. thanks for sharing
Very nice Colin, Thank you.
You're welcome! Thanks for watching!
Thanks for the idea !
You're Welcome!
A small sacrificial fence between jig and saw would make alignment perfect every time and (most importantly) prevent kick out of small cut off pieces.
Thanks for the tip and thanks for watching!
Great video!
Awesome tip thanks again!
You're welcome! Thanks for watching!
Gracias colín, siempre con un excelente contenido.
Thanks Colin ~ Bill

That is very slick gotta give it a try🤠👍
Thanks for watching!
Can this be used to cut extreme acute angles say a 73degree cut? This is excellent.
Very nice saw. It´s a pitty that, here in Brazil this kind of electric tool is very very and extremely expensive...
Great idea thanks for sharing
You're welcome! Thanks for watching!
Nice jig & safe to use as well. I have free handed stuff like that but not a good idea.
Hope it helps! Thanks for watching!
Another Great Tip Colin !!!! Keep em coming ;)
Thank you!
Thank you!
You're Welcome!
A corner brace would work as well.
Good video. I'm also working on a jig for acute angles to make triangles on miter saw
Thanks for watching!
Didn't know you were a vampire hunter!
But as always; lovely video and good info!
Woodworking by day, Vampire hunter by night. Thanks for watching!
The thumbs down on this video must exclusively be from vampires.
Nice jig
