I'd like to get a closer look at the second version of the jig. Just some stills a close range would do it. I am definitely going to make it. And me too...as soon as the strip went on the jig the light bulb went off and I yelled brilliant!...out loud.
Make the two end stops first. They need to be about 1/16" thick and notched into the base so they don't get cut off. Then put in the center stop so that it's however far from the edge as you want the thickness in the middle. Then you can put in a strip and butt all the intermediate stops against it. The stops need to be just a bit shorter than the strip so the clamps actually clamp down on it. Then there's just an end stop on the face of the jig at the back end to located the strips and make sure it doesn't slide back during the cut.
@@krtwood essentially the only difference between v1 and v2 is there are additional stops, and these additional stops are the same as the stop in the middle with similar placement in from the edge. If I have that right.
@@RossNanfito Yes. If you want to get fancy, you could make the intermediate stops position adjustable. With just three points of contact the jig will work with whatever thickness strip that is able to be bent. Once you add in the intermediate stops then you are locked into one specific thickness for the strip. I'll probably do a video in the next couple days that will get into this since a couple people are asking.
And in 2021 Kevin will pour an epoxy river table and the world will end in flames of bleached walnut. 😉 Some cool techniques here, sir. Love the discussion of working with the grain patterns and curves.
I have tried to make the jig, end up cutting my strips into. I am very new to woodworking, probably too new to be trying something this difficult,but I’m not giving up. End strips 1/16, center flush. ? What am I doing wrong? Board 2’.
The stop in the middle shouldn't be flush with the edge. It should be set back by the thickness you want in the middle. In later versions of the jig I made it so all the stops were adjustable and only hold the ends by the clamps instead of having the fixed stops.
You are such an inventive woodworker, it's very inspiring! At 30s you see all your strips together, I love the way that looks, might make a cool cabinet door or something.
I always like your approach(es) to projects. You have a unique way of solving problems that doesn't always fit what is written in woodworking journals. It helps me to approach my work in unique ways as well.
Your process helped me visualize a project I am working on. The natural undulations in your larger boards are enhanced by the curved strip process, and not so much with the final solid piece in the middle imho. Beautiful work!
Hi, wouldn’t it be easier to cut a cove on a long board to get the curve in the middle and then cut thin strips from that board without the need for a complex jig with multiple clamps?
Can you make a complementary jig? This jig has the material being sawn off the middle section of the strip. Can you cut a strip such that the material is sawn off the ends and, if then glued to the first one, would make an insert with a consistent width along its length?
You are so right, it is easier than it looks, but what a superb, innovative idea. You are a lot more clever than you give yourself credit for. I've subscribed and will enjoy trawling through all your videos, a nice Xmas present for me!
I can what you were trying to achieve, but not sure why. I assume this amount of effort and time is to incorporate into an upcoming project that requires this look and technique. Personally I love the look on a chopping board as there are infinite variations that could be incorporated that give unique one off board. But me thinks you have something else in mind.
"I usually come up with ways to make easy things more difficult" is right!!!! I really enjoy your video solutions to problems you create with the twists your mind goes through. Great videos and uncanny solutions.
You never cease to amaze!!!! So beautiful 😍. Thank you for sharing your lovely projects ❤. Happy Holidays and a better new year. Peace and good fortune and good health to you and your family.
Well done Kevin & I would love to have seen how you put together that second jig & also see it in action. BTW, what was the reference to "river tables" at the end of the video??
I will probably put up a video on making the jig in the next couple days since a couple people have asked. Have you managed to somehow miss the whole river table fad? I even did a river spoon a couple years ago.
Always love you stuff sir, this was so good and so well explained. You had me paying attention from start to finish. To me you are really creating art like you always do...
Thank you for sharing this. A clever technique with beautiful result. The level you work at is the level I strive for. Able to take the time to figure out solutions and make beautiful projects that blaze your own path. Really incredible work you do and I'm very happy you share it with us!

It's about time someone figured out that a brief look at the end result of a demonstration is helpful! THANKS!
It's tough on our end because we want people to stick around for the whole video.
Yeah, take that epoxy rivers!
Beautiful work. You always give me such great ideas and inspiration to create!
That's a GREAT technique. The strips really add to the piece and definitely worth the effort! !! !!!
Awesome technique and explanation! I especially loved the caption at the end, hahaha!

So you're the guy who didn't skip over that part! I have a feeling the audience retention graph on this one is going to be brutal.

As soon as that thin strip went on your jig I blurted out “Brilliant!” ! My wife doesn’t get it. Also I subscribed before you finished.
The same happened to me, saying "brilliant!" out loud. Like your wife, my cat didn't get it either.
Fair warning that I usually come up with ways to make easy things more difficult.
Now turn it up to 11. A knoby live edge river table using full-length strips!
Pro-tip, steam bending is your friend
Edit: 13:03 oh, youuu
:)
I really love the final look of this - terrific work!!
Thanks!
You are such an inventive woodworker, it's very inspiring!

Thanks! Yeah, I like the pattern.

You have mimicked the sap wood so perfectly it looks as though two trees grew together. Nice result!
Thanks!
Very good explanation of the process and what makes it simple and also what can make it complicated.
Thank you, Guy!
That is absolutely beautiful work brother. Also your shop is awasom. Thank you for another great video. I always learn something from watching.

super clever!
Thank you!
Might be able to use some of your offcuts to fill in awkward places where you need a bit of bulge.
Subbed
Mind.....blown! I gotta try it. 👏👏👏
That is not inlay.... it is laminating ....
This is why I watch Kevin. You've done some very creative work, that becomes simpler after it's done. Beautiful , thoughtful! Glad I stopped to look.
Thanks 👍
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Yes, I did just that in the cutting board video that came out after this one.

The curved strips were kind of a solution looking for a problem but I have a few ideas for other things to do with them.
Great instructor !
"I usually come up with ways to make easy things more difficult" is right!!!! I really enjoy your video solutions to problems you create with the twists your mind goes through. Great videos and uncanny solutions.
Thanks, Clyde!
Siempre aprendo nuevas tecnicas mirando tus videos. Las 2 tablas del final son hermosas.
Gracias!
You never cease to amaze!!!! So beautiful 😍. Thank you for sharing your lovely projects ❤. Happy Holidays and a better new year. Peace and good fortune and good health to you and your family.
Thanks!
Absolutely great idea! What a pity American walnut is that expensive over here in Germany
It's not cheap here either!

Great Ending :D
:)
Adding these strips of long grain into an end grain cutting board would probably be beautiful. Nice tips!
Probably a cross grain problem, but then sometimes you can get away with thin inlays.
Always love you stuff sir, this was so good and so well explained. You had me paying attention from start to finish. To me you are really creating art like you always do...
Glad you enjoyed it!
At 8:14, you can get a sharper curve by steaming the wood strip. There are youtubes to show how.
Just soaking in water would probably be enough, but this is already a lengthy process of having to wait for multiple glue ups to fully cure.
Your brain is nifty. Thank you for sharing inspiring stuff. You are a great artist and an uncommonly clear teacher.
Wow, thank you!
another great video Kevin! really enjoyed following along with your description!!
Thanks 👍
Great job Kevin! Thank you for sharing the video with us' and Merry Christmas!💖👌👍😎JP
Thanks!
Your very welcome Kevin! Have a great weekend!😎

Thanks, Phillip!
Very good info. I'm wondering about using it with end grain boards.
There would be a cross grain problem to use it like this but I will try doing an end grain strip.
Interesting. Like many of us I have a few extra scraps I can try it out on.
Go for it!
Thank you - both very interesting and well-explained.
Thanks!
I love that curved tapering jig.
Thanks!
I'm thinking on trying this out. Thanks for the tips in your video...
Good luck!
Love it! nice work!
Thank you!
wonderful work! thanks for showing this!
Thanks!
What a way to end it! That's the holy grail of glue ups right there.
Thanks, Kyle!
Very brilliant 👏
Thanks!
Jigmastery
Thanks!
Eye-opener!! Thanks!!
Any time!
I Love it! Cheers,Mate.
Thank you!
That as fun! Thanks.
You're welcome!
You're an artist.
Sometimes.
Very cool
Thanks!
well done
Thanks!
