- I use my Shopsmith Jigsaw model 610 to cut the triple square pattern in the four upper slats for my Stickley Highlands bookshelf build.

Those details make the piece unique.
We have hundreds of 19th century homes, churches and other buildings here in town. The annual historic home tour is one of my favorite events… I study the woodworking details and take photos. The workmanship inside and out is astounding.
Fortunately, I went to school with one of the tour guides. He puts together a bunch of us woodies and doubles the time we spend on the tour!
Your holes were nicely done!
Totally agree. Here in the Chicago area we have a lot of Arts & Crafts homes (Chicago style bungalow) and many Frank Lloyd Wright building as well. Touring those has really impacted my wife and I's decorating tastes and my ambitions as a woodworker.
Sweet it is.
Wonderful little bit of history too. That’s always welcome.👍👍
Thanks John, I appreciate it as always.
Well done Tom,
Your project is coming right along. Good point on discovering work piece orientation. Some times I don't spend the time pre-cutting and run into this issue. Thank you again for all your work.
Thanks Jim. Yeah this one is taking a long time. I’m double checking everything because the lumber was so darn expensive.
Nice work Tom!
Thanks John!
Nice work Tom! It’s also nice to see your project, and skills progress! And yes, some die files in that jigsaw might be nice.
Thanks Albert. I have the die files. I chose the hand tool route this time as I want to build those skills too. Also, the wide flat rasp made it easy to register the stroke against the side to keep everything square as I removed wood.
I hope someday you will go back to making videos. I'm a very occasional woodworker myself, mostly I use my extremely modest skills to fix things and to make use of scrap materials that would otherwise go to waste (for instance, I made a cat tree out of old redwood deck stairs that would otherwise have been discarded). I've never tried to make anything that requires the precision of the bookcase or some of the other things you've built, but I might someday. Your videos are a great illustration of how to make use of the tools at your disposal. You could use a jigsaw, or use a router and then finish with a chisel, or...well, there are many options, and I learn by watching you choose. (You also did a book review, of a book that shows several ways to do things and identifies the pros and cons of each...I'm ordering that book, I love that approach). I have a very small workspace -- big enough for a table saw, a Shopsmith that has to stay against the wall because there's no space to roll it into, and a work bench / assembly table. Even finding space to store the ShopSmith band saw is a bit of a challenge. So I have to make do with what I have, but even with my limited tools I generally have many ways I could do a task, and I like seeing your thought process. Indeed, if you ever feel like making more videos, I would love to see a series where you build something -- whatever is your next project -- and, for each step, describe several ways that you could accomplish it and then explain why you chose the one you did, and show it. I guess it's too much to ask you to do the same task several different ways, showing each one, and then choose which you thought was best, but that would be my dream. Anyway you've done a great service with these videos, I'm sorry you've stopped.
Great work Tom I am envious of your jig saw but I do have a scroll saw
Thanks Bob. I enjoy using the machine, finding it much more gutsy on the Mark 5 motor compared to the Power Station.
Square holes in wood. How could that ever be boring?! Nice video and I'll also be checking out that Beatles album cover video since I recently acquired a new to me SS jig saw.
Thanks Dana! Glad you liked it.
You need to get the files for the ShopSmith jig saw to make your corner filing much easier.
Thanks Andy great suggestion. I do have 4-5 of the shopsmith files. Just chose the hand tool route this time.

Thanks for the mention, Tom. Your project is coming along nicely. Scott
Won't go back to the Power Station for anything? Sounds like someone's about to get rid of it. Great vid.
I donated the power station to a fellow wood worker and shopsmith owner who builds projects to service our local community.
@@woodshopnerdery a good cause
What differentiates a jigsaw from a scroll saw? I'm not used to a saw of this style being called a jigsaw
A scroll saw has power applied to both ends of the blade. A jig saw just has power on one end of the blade. And, as Tom mentioned, the SS has a spring on the other end to help keep blade tension which is really important when using thin blades.
To add to what Dana mentioned, "Jigsaw" is a legacy term for what we now use to describe the hand held Jigsaw. The hand held tool took its name from the original jigsaws due to similarities. The contant tension saws which became very popular in the 1970s and 1980s came out they used the term Scrollsaw. By that time most people associated to term Jigsaw with the hand held power tool.
@@woodshopnerdery very interesting
