One of the best instructional videos that I have ever seen. And your methods are sensical and spot on. I watched 3 other diy shelf pin jig videos and yours by far was the only one anyone should be watching. Thank you thank you!! You have a new subscriber here.
When I’ve needed to take down the diameter of a rod, whether metal or wood, I chuck it up in my drill press and apply sandpaper or a file. I’ve found the result more uniform that way. Just a thought... Thanks for the video. Excellent as always!
Thank you for saving us MORE money, really do appreciate your MONEY saving videos.
Thanks for watching Richard!
i have found self centering bits are a good way to reduce or eliminate damage to the shelf pin jig. and I want to thank you for all the information i use your channel for reference quite often.
This is an awesome, excellently simple jig. Thank you for sharing your experience with us. Be Blessed!
Thank you, just so simple and if you need more holes just move it down 1/2,3/4,1 inch.
Thanks for sharing all your knowledge Colin!!! you the best!!!
Thanks for Watching Ruben!
Funny thing, I was watching your video to learn to make the shelf pin jig, but what I really loved is that I finally found a bottle to use for my wood glue. I noticed you using a ketchup or mustard bottle which is fantastic because I did not want to buy the expensive wood glue bottles. THanks
Quick and easy. Great tutorial and explanation. I'll be making a small bookshelf for some friends and wanted adjustable shelves but didn't want to spend the money for a specific jig.
Hi, I've been doing woodwork all my life but you always manage to show me something fresh! Thanks for taking the time to share with us! Really appreciate it!
Thanks for watching Connie!
Fan-freaking-tastic!
Thank you Colin! I really appreciate these "tricks of the trade" videos you make and share.
Keep up your great stuff please 👌😊👍
Thanks for watching Isa!
So cool. I love that you share your knowledge! I was about to buy a $30 or $40 dollar jig for one book shelf for the same amount of shelf pin holes as you drilled. I searched “shelf pin jig make” and you showed up. I have watched numerous tips from you over the past few years. You never disappoint! I love your teaching style of explaining things and using wood to build jigs to build wood projects! Happy Holidays!
That's a handy little jig, Colin...Thanks !
Thanks for watching!
I was going to buy a Kreg jig for this, But they are almost double in price now. I have a lot of Kreg stuff and was wanting to keep Kreg in the mix, But this is a more cost affective alternative. I will just make my own like this. Thank you Colin.
I love that you reinforce for my 12 year old son that one needn't break the bank on projects that require only common sense. Thanks very much.
Thank You! I have been learning a great deal from your videos and it's keeping me busy and happy in my retirement!
Your welcome, Mike. Thanks for watching!
Thanks for this video, it really gave me an idea for drilling my adjustable holes.
Like always Colin, nice job!!!
Thanks from México. Great idea.
Always(and I always say it,) learn something from your videos Colin...Thank you...rr
Thank you for your great ideas and sharing them with us.
great jig style def gonna make one of these since i'm building a cabinet and was wanting to use pegs and this looks like the perfect jig
amazing jig well done
Great video, can't wait to try this on my first attempt at building a book case.
Excellent idea!
Nice job Colin. Very interesting to watch your woodwork. Thanks
Excellent- thanks Colin 👍
Thks Colin from another wood work web fan.
As always very nice and neat video.
Muchas gracias Colin. Muy buenos videos como siempre
Genius love the video good job. Thank God for your channel it's so brilliant! Thank you for your videos
THX - it is a simple tool for good practice
I have a drill stand that is all but worthless for most jobs. Drilling straight holes without some kind of guide or drill press is virtually impossible -- at least for me. I decided to try making my own guides for a couple different size bits. Using the stand, I drilled a hole through 2 pieces of 1" thick wood that I had glued together. Of course, I couldn't see through the wood to where I wanted to drill, so I made the same device but with 2 pieces of 1/2" thick plexiglass. That seems to be working well. On both of these jigs, I avoided the problem of enlarging the hole by inserting aluminum tubing into the holes and gluing it in place with Krazy glue. I don't know how long it's going to last, but the plexiglass jig helped me to drill straight holes for handles in 15 or so cabinet doors and same number of cabinet drawer faces.
Like other woodworkers, thank you Colin!
You are welcome! Thanks for watching!
Great idea! Thanks.
Hi Collin,
Nece job, useful jig, and cheap too.
Best,
Charlie
Thanks for watching, Charlie!
You and those awesome tips, thanks for sharing
You're welcome, Anthony!
Thanks!
Thank you great tips as always.
You're welcome, Joe!
nice jig thanks for sharing!
Easy to follow :)
Awesome tip, thank you.
You're welcome!
I just love all your tips and jigs you make, keep them coming please Colin
Thanks for watching!
Nice! How about if you did it with 3 holes and 2 dowels to prevent it from sliding off the intended drill line?
Nice tip my awesome friend and a good project :)
Thank You, TJ!
Excellent video, very helpful. I damn love it.
Thank You!
COLIN THANKS AGAIN FOR SHARING AND TEACHING you guys and girls that go to the trouble of making these videos to help others are the type of people that make America great not the Politicians, Administration & Corporations & Media that give America a bad name, you people remind us that there are good people in the USA.
I am just refurbishing and altering some cupboards that someone had put out for Kerbside collection.(the throwaway society)
I was wondering how I was going to drill the shelf pin holes in Place and YT featured this video on my computer.
I immediately went to cupboards took measurements made the jig same as yours except out of 18mm MDF. But seeing I can only work from one side I had to drill the guide holes (5mm) for both sides and I was lucky enough to have two 5mm metal pins in my junk boxes and they are the guides. ( I used a right angle attachment on my drill so I could easily get drill in place to drill back row)
I agree Ronald. But I believe Colin lives in Canada.😯
thank you - that is the life of Canadians being mistaken for Americans
Awesome video!
Thank You, Thomas!
I've watched this video twice and is looking for advice on what a useful distance between holes can be. Some other video mentioned 32mm between centres and 37mm from the side inwards .I have a hardboard peg board with a 25mm x 25mm pattern of holes that I can start from using every 2nd hole which gives me 50mm spacings. So now it is a bit of a quandary for me. I don't have a workshop and is using the garage screeded floor as the working surface.
I need to drill holes into 3 vertical pieces of 18mm plywood (2x sides and 1 divider) One idea is to clamp the pieces together and do the holes through-n-through leaving the outside holes open as a "talking point" alternatively the outside holes may be plugged with dowels. However my main question is about the vertical spacing of the holes for the movable shelves.
I'm going to propose the "poor man's shelf pin jig".
As my workshop is nothing else than my garage and it's furnished with all kinds of recovered furnishings (coming from former kitchens or out-of-duty nieces' bedrooms) I happen to need extra shelving holes in pieces of furnishing that are already built. So, I decided to take your jig example but to make it a bit different. It'll rest its further end to the inner back of the furnishing and it'll have a "pilot" hole for the back row of shelving holes as well as a series of "front" holes, to be used and adapted to the different depths of the the various furnishings.
I’m new to woodworking and self taught so bare with my terminology! what are the dimensions of the jig if I’m working with 1x12’s? I enjoy all of your videos and love how easy they are so thank you for all the helpful tips!
Colin, would it help the life span of the jig, if the holes on the jig were cut a little big, to a certain depth. Then the bottom side of the hole be the correct size? Basically countersinking the hole at a certain depth.
very good idea👍👍👍
Thank You, Thomas!
Colin is the most wholesome woodworker on UA-cam. I go "aww" every time he does his opening lines.
This is a very handy jig. Something similar I made the first time about 28 years ago. And through the years many more.
But I (nearly) always put a metal insert inside the hole (and glue it with epoxy) to avoid wear out.
They could have "lived" forever if I did not lose them :-) Because they were quite small the looked like pieces of scrap wood.
The last few years I rather paint them with a bright colour.
The pins you use in the video are very clever. I should have a look, if I can find them over here.
Thanks for sharing the video. It was a very helpful 10 minutes.
You may find the inserts called shelf pin sleeves or grommets by different vendors.
Thanks for watching Hans!
What I always do for any drilling jigs is insert a piece of copper pipe with an inside diameter of my drill bit. Because it's a soft metal it won't damage your bit.
Good tip, Thanks!
You're welcome, Tom!
Благодарю мастер!
Nice to see re-use of the ketchup bottle for the glue. I do the same.
Great jig!
Thank You!
Useful jig Sir, thank you :-)
You are welcome
Good job
Thank You!
Some sort of either aluminum or copper tubing should keep the wear and tear at Bay for a while longer if not indefinitely
That's pretty clever. Is there a metal collar you can use to prevent the holes in the jig getting bigger over time?
Yes there is, but I haven't been able to track down a reliable source of them!
6:33 - wow, using those metal stops is a REALLY golden advice!!
Fiddling with a piece of tape or loose bushing around the drill bit seems really 'caveman'ny now haha
Ok. interessante ho compreso tutto, anche se non parlo la Tua lingua, complimenti, saliti dall'Elba........
If you have a number of holes to make how about using a piece of metal tubing of the correct size in the holes of the jig to help reduce drill wear?
Could I get the measurements for this jig please? If so thank you, I want to make my husband some shelving for the garage!
Neat idea
Thanks!
Could you put a shaft like in the kreg jig so there isn’t wear on the hole in the jig?
I really don't see why couldn't ... I'm not sure where to get one though?
WoodWorkWeb super late reply but they sell them at lee valley:)
Or maybe exchanging the wooden "collar" with a piece of metal tube cut to length. I suppose one size should be enough for shelving. You could also put a washer between the drill chuck and the tube, to reduce friction and wear.
Like it ty
Here is a tip... make the fence part of the jig 2¼ wide and then center the plywood on it when you glue it. Then make the dowel come out on both sides. Then you have a jig that is reversible and easier in sticky situations.
Thanks for the tip, Bill!
Hi, may i know where I will be able to buy those brackets with collar?. I tried home depot. But they do not carry it
I need a help.
I plan to make a furniture, a tv stand.
With my drill I can make hole of 5 mm max.
If I use 5mm pins instead of 8mm on the furniture would it be strong enough?
Tolga blue plenty strong enough, 5mm pins are not unusual.
Instead of the 2 board glueup why not make it with a piece of Plexiglas? Will hold for longer and you'll be able to see through it. Not to mention you can use a depth limiting ring - don't know how it's called - like to ones on the pocket/dowel jigs.
Bravo.Ok 👌 Italia Fabrizio
Thank-you!
Use a punch instead of the drill to mark the holes. Then drill the holes after. No wear on the jig.
👍👍👍
I've seen some use colored tape instead of stops.
why not put one of those collars in to keep the hole from getting sloppy
Just cut a piece of peg board and use as a drill template.......MUCH EASIER.
Hello evry wen
Look at his haircut.....
J
just use masking tape
I've seen this mineesoter, guy before and he has a lot of utube vids
