    Brilliant idea. If I ever get a bandsaw, I'll have to make this!

      Hope you're well.

    That's a very clever jig. Think I will have to pinch this idea. Great job Jamie.

    • @WoodenItBeGrand

      Thanks! It's definitely an idea that I've already pinched, so have at it!!! But as many others have mentioned, I can see other applications as well.
      Cheers!

    I think circle jigs have been the forerunners for the comp, but each has tackled the problem in a different way which is awesome. Eliminating the central hole is a great option when you need both sides to be schmick! Awesome stuff Jamie, thanks for the entry! :D

    Yep that centre hole could be a pain if it wasn't needed.

    Jamie, this is one of the best - if not the best - instructional tutorials I have ever seen! Honestly mate, I was keen to see a circle cutting jig and then when I saw T-Track and bolts etc I kind of lost interest because I thought it was way beyond what I was capable of, but your video was so easy to follow and the fact you showed the elements where you kept improving was a total bonus. Well done mate!

    • @WoodenItBeGrand
      @WoodenItBeGrand  3 роки тому +1

      Thanks Ryno!
      Such a pleasant comment to come along and read, and I like to think that even though this was never supposed to be a how-to channel, some people might get some tips and ideas along the way. To be honest, channels like yours have shown me that including the progression (either the making of mistakes, or discovery of improvements along the way) makes the videos more relatable & enjoyable to watch, so I'll hopefully keep doing this going forward.
      Thanks for watching!

      The main reason I created it was to trim down the end of an old wine barrel that I don't want holes in so it will definitely come in handy.

      Thanks Ainslee! Yes, I can see this concept could be applied in a few areas, including table saws. Then perhaps bevel edges on circles? 🤔 Wow! Endless possibilities.

    That's a great jig! I usually just grab a bit of plywood and a nail as I'm too lazy to make a nice jig 🤣🤣 but if I'm ever planning on making a bunch of circles I'll be looking at this for inspiration🍻

    • @WoodenItBeGrand
      @WoodenItBeGrand  3 роки тому +1

      Thanks for checking in Jesper. I've been working hard on some paid jobs outside of the workshop, and with our borders opened recently I took some time to visit family that I haven't been able to catch up with in a while. Just got notifications of 500 hours of watch time so I'll be pushing hard to release more content over the next few weeks.
      Happy New Year to you and looking forward to what 2022 brings us all!

    Simple ideas are always the best, that's a great one, good stuff! I have (if it was cheap and crappy) the same hole cutting tool I've been known in the past to take a hammer or pliers to the teeth, tapping them in or out, in order to get a hole which is marginally bigger or smaller 😉 I'm not saying it's good practice, but as it's a cheaper tool, it doesn't make me feel bad 😂

    • @WoodenItBeGrand

      Best thing about homemade jigs is you CAN adjust them the way you want. And if you mess it up too much, just build another.
