I first saw this video a few years ago and made the jig. It worked so well, I called my "Super Jig". Well when I moved it got lost. So I revisisted your video for a refresher before making another one. That will happen tomorrow. Enjoy your videos.
Colin, since only a small percentage of viewers bother to hit the ‘like’ button, there is no way for you to estimate how many THOUSANDS of diy woodworkers you have helped over the years. On behalf of them and of course myself, THANK YOU!!!!!
I use thin strips a lot, more than I thought I would. I'm going to make this in the coming week. The difference is that I'll mark the back piece to accommodate for 1/8, 1/4, and 3/8 sizes. All I'll have to do is move the locking piece in the back to get the cut I want. Thanks so much for sharing. So much easier than before.
I like that you showed the operation of the completed jig (even the simple one) at the outset. I've been looking through a few of these vids by others, and too often I get to watch them build it (and I don't even need to see that), but only at the end do I get to see WHAT we're building. So, kudos for that, sir. I'm a fan of simple jigs - mine are all labeled with Sharpie so I don't cut 'em up by mistake.
Nice jig! I’ll probably make one about 5’ long. Too long you say? I’ve built an infeed table that registers off of the rip fence. I also have built a rip fence inline with rip fence. So no matter where you set the fence, it is inline with the rip fence. It’s a little over 3’ long. Works great for cutting plywood rips. Love your videos!!
I made this and it's brilliant! I have cut several pieces of ply to accommodate for different thicknesses (to go on the back end) and I have to say that it works perfectly. Now that I know it works, I'll be making a hardwood piece that I can micro adjust to all of the sizes I use. (ie, an end plate from hardwood that I can adjust with a slider cut into the end piece with a knob for tightening). As long as you have a good, sharp blade, you can cut ebony and Pink Ivory to exact widths ... because no one wants to waste expensive wood! (pink Ivory is the second most expensive wood ind the world to shake wood). This jig makes clean cuts every time (as long as the jig is square). Even a retired cabinet maker was impressed! I cut two lengths of Pink Ivory and ebony each, and they were precise and pristine. (for those who don't work with the hardest of all hardwoods, this is a thing because they don't always joint or plane easily). With a good blade, even the hardest of hardwoods need little sanding (which is fabulous because it takes forever to sand ebony ... you're better off with a card scraper). Micro adjust for precision, and Voila! This is my favorite jig ever for pieces less than 18 inches long (that was the length of a piece of black walnut I got for a few bucks). My new go-to for thin strips. Thanks so much for sharing!
Great tip. Will be using this. For the guys who have smart-arse comments. Not everyone has the cash or access to stores where you can simply walk in and buy everything available to the American or European markets. If you do, consider yourself very fortunate !
I rarely bother watching others' woodworking videos any more, just yours. You show how to do things quickly, accurately, and safely. Thank you so much, Colin. Unfortunately the contractor's saw I have does not have a steel or iron table, so your mag switches, while cool, won't for for me. But the quick version of the thin strip ripping jig -- the first one in the video -- is good enough for my occasional use. Thanks for showing several versions.
You can also add painters tape ,then crank the blade up thru it. I made a shim: 1 1/2" high. About 1/4" thick. At about 1 1/4 degree angle. On my new DeWalt 7485 table saw! WOW! I never had a saw like that.
Oh man thankyou! My tablesaw is plywood and my fence is also which means i have to line it up and clamp it in place each time i use it. Watched lots of video's foir cutting thin strips and they all need the fancy sliding fences but you just solved my problem! TYTYTY!
Thanks you so much for this jig. I needed a piece 5/16 thick 15/16 wide 9 1/8 long and this jig is like a miracle, so easy and safe to make. Thank you.
thank you for this video.. I have been model making for years, and always am limited by the strips I could make. I will be using the first jig you demoed. The 2x4 with notch, simple, effective, and a coat of paint prevents it from use for other things.
I LIKE IT. i cut pieces as small as 1/8 thick x3/8wide for my projects. I set the fence for thickness and rip up to 4ft long. It works but I dont like it.just finished making 120 pieces the other day.(no accidents yet) I'm definitely going to try this looks a lot safer to.i cut mostly cedar.some pine. Thanks for the idea on another jig.
@@knecht105 hi colin just an update. I made a mock up thin strip jig.now I can rip 4ft lengths and 2"h.basically used a 1"w×3"h x5feet long.trued it up.and installed a wooden pusher dowel (temporarily).added a plywood cover on top(hides blade as you rip.then a pusher handle.and a feather board made from cedar.(will upgrade to bearings)Now my thin strips are more consistant.i went as thin as 1/8".and alot quicker than before. Thanks again. I like a lot of the jigs you have built.

Colin really enjoy the videos i do be showing my Dad ur tips everytime we're in the workshop and feel great cause its usually him showing me stuff so thank u
Hey Colin Just a quick note to say your design for the “ thin strip Jig” is nothing short or “ great” . I actually just finished building an alternate design jig yesterday and then yours today. Yours is much better hands down . Many thanks for the idea and I look forward to future ideas from you. Many thanks Phil Goulding
My goodness Colin, I can't believe how simple you have made it to SAFELY cut very thin strips of wood! For the life of me, I couldn't figure this out! I tried making a 1/8 inch box joint jig and I had to cut the 1/8 piece to reference from and this would have made it so much easier. Thank you so much for your insight and helpful videos! Cheers!
Could you not just give your alternative ideas without the smart comment, I was just making a comment on the magnetic jig over the current one. You really need to learn some manners or just shut up.
Oh very nice! All we need is a rude arsehole on here! I also don't have a metal surface on my saw - the nice new SawStop Jobsite saw. And @ralphd's original comment was a positive one - this jig is very useful for those of us who don't have ferromagnetic tables. Methinks @MrBonners really does need to learn some manners and some social skills.
Dr_Rock (Pete) thanks & apologies to Colin for this unnecessary distraction. Colin's channel is one of the most informative & helpful woodworking channels for anyone learning woodworking & this sort of comment is way out of line.
Yup - and I just find it mind-boggling that someone's immediate reaction to your comment - which was a positive comment - was to be abusive and childish. I half expected him to finish off with "Na na na na naaaaa na". ;) OK - 'nuff said. Back to some woodworking on my non-ferromagnetic SawStop saw.... ;)
Thanks Colin, yet another very useful video. Can't say I'd waste two toggle clamps on the small jig though, but that's just me, tight as a gnat's chuff. As we say in Britain.
First comment: I came only till 2.15 min and then I stopped the video. It went to quick, so I set the speed at 0.5 and I watched it again and again and....... :-) I like simple things so this first basic thin strip ripping jig should be awesome for me. I'm going to try to make it this weekend (some weeks ago I thought about some project using thin strips. I wanted to use paint mixing strips for that but I did not find a supplier for that till now, you can get one or two when you buy paint but 20 or 50 is a problem) In the past years I made some jigs which looked like blocks of wood (which in fact they were). After losing them, etc. just like you mentioned, I had to make new ones. Those I painted with dark green paint-spray, a left-over from a car that we owned before). So now I do not lose them any more They're visible enough when laying on the work bench amidst the wood to saw or scrap. .
Second comment: (after viewing whole video) and reading the comments. Jig looks good. It'll take more time to make than the simple one but it'll for sure last longer. But I do not have a Kreg Jig nor a DIY substitute for that. I do have some toggle clamps but they are very small and do not know if they'll be sturdy enough. I'll keep this video in mind for the future but I'd go for the simple one next weekend.
Hi hans, maybe a couple of dowels and some glue would be a substitute for the (expensive) Kreg Jig? As for the toggle clamps, they look pretty small to me
Thanks Colin, I made a version of your magnetic jig a while ago, but see a lot of potential for the second version. I think I will have one made and in use in the very near future
I use and like the Rockler thin strip jig, but this jig would save me the time of repeatedly moving the fence. I will build one and appreciate the small blade suggestion, because I'm usually working with smaller stock.
We've good a wonderful building here in Sydney ( in Australia by the way, for those wondering ) it is a theatre: the Sydney Opera House. It took just a little more tme - and money - to build than any one of these fancy jigs.
I wish I would have known about the special toggle clamps you used before I bought my standard toggle clamps that are used to clamp parallel surfaces only.
I would have liked to see you use the Toggle clamp setup too. Great vid. Learned a lot, including doing it safely. Thanks Kolan, great as usual...Love your channel and been on it for years...
Love your channel bro. It's cool to see all these jigs being built and made to look fairly easy. I'm still waiting to get my shop kitted out so it's very tough to work these things out. I'm enjoying all these little jigs and will be keeping some of your videos in my playlists from now on. Appreciate u taking the time out to make these helpful videos Colin mate. Salute to u from IRELAND,
You could incorporate the handle off a microjig Gripper - but only to make the name of the jig even more unpronouncable! lol. This jig is a great idea, I've compiled a list of jigs [seen on youtube] to help perform tasks on the tablesaw, but this is the 1st time i've come across this - I'm adding it to the TOP of the list. My tips for other top jigs are; the cross-cut sled [obviously] & the board you use put a straight edge on rough lumber or cut tapers. Cheers Colin.
Cool jig, thanks! Quick and safe cuts without any hassle. Will definitely be making this for when I'll be making my pallet coasters :) Nice tip about the thinner blade too, might have to get one to save some wood.
Have you had one come back at you? I thought the rule is to never pinch the off fall against the fence. I am not new but not advanced and honestly I just a have a huge amount of respect for the dangers of a table saw more than any other tool in my shop.
Good Vid, you could always write on the jig do not destroy or something, thin strip ripping jig. I shall make one of these for when I need thin kerf thickness strips for Celtic Knots.
You should make affiliate links to amazon for the items (blades and tools and what not) you use. It doesn’t cost anyone any more to buy the items but you get some “pocket change” for helping your viewers find the items they want.
Thanks, Colin it's a great video. My issue is that the strips I need are 16" long, various thicknesses for Charcuterie boards. My table saw from the front edge to the blade is shorter than that and I can't keep the jig against the fence. Any ideas anyone?
After watching this it occurred to me it was the solution to making thin wedge strips. Put a 5 degree bevel on the jig block and 5 degrees on the stock. It makes 10 degree wedges by flipping the stock end over end pass after pass. You can use the stock down to a shred without needing a skinny push stick or moving the fence. I use the wedges to fill gaps in paint grade work. Tuck them in knife off excess.
This jig definitely works for short lengths but what if you want, for example, 3 or 4 foot long thing strips? Do you have a variation that works for that? Thanks
I first saw this video a few years ago and made the jig. It worked so well, I called my "Super Jig". Well when I moved it got lost. So I revisisted your video for a refresher before making another one. That will happen tomorrow. Enjoy your videos.

The only video I've seen on thin strip jigs that mentioned switching blades to reduce kerf. Great idea

I love makers like you, smart with experience to help others.
Thank You!
Thanks for showing both.
The level trick is incredible.
Very clear and helpful.
Wisdom is infinite, simple and easy to learn. I like your video.
Always love watching your videos and instructions Colin
Colin u are awesome thank u for the excellent videos
Thanks for a genuinely good video. Really simple and concise with a lot of good tips and explanation.
Couple of great ideas, going to make one this weekend. Would live to see a riving knive on your saw though.
Very handy tip. I cut a lot of thin strips for model boat building and my whirligig propeller blades. Going to make one!
Perfect jig for cutting different thickness planking for model boats...........thanks.
I LIKE IT.

This is perfect, thanks a lot!
I went looking for this video, because I saw this jig in another video! It's so simple! I slapped my forehead!
Glad I could help!

Hans de Groot the kreg jig is not critical to the construction of the jig. As long as you can think up some way to attach the handle, you will be fine
Thanks Colin, I made a version of your magnetic jig a while ago, but see a lot of potential for the second version. I think I will have one made and in use in the very near future
excellent jig and easy to make. Thank you for sharing.
You are my best english teacher ever :-) greetings from Roma, Italia!!!!
Good simple effective jigs
This is my new favorite channel.
I use and like the Rockler thin strip jig, but this jig would save me the time of repeatedly moving the fence. I will build one and appreciate the small blade suggestion, because I'm usually working with smaller stock.
I believe that will hold up for a long time
Thanks, always what I'm looking for!
great you can use it for different thickness of the strips..
We've good a wonderful building here in Sydney ( in Australia by the way, for those wondering ) it is a theatre: the Sydney Opera House. It took just a little more tme - and money - to build than any one of these fancy jigs.
I'm wondering what, or where, Australia is. I'll Google it.
Brilliant idea!
Thank you.
Nice cool sound effect drill sound and video. You must be a woodwork teacher, very well teach and a clean shop btw.
Thanks great idea
Love your videos. You inspired me to make one. But mine is, well, better!
Thanks Colin, great idea for us beginners... Greetings!
excellent idea
I liked verá much your ideia!!! Congratulation.
Thank You!
I wish I would have known about the special toggle clamps you used before I bought my standard toggle clamps that are used to clamp parallel surfaces only.

GREAT tips like to watch your videos,can pick up lots of good ideas ,makes woodworking quicker.keep it up
Very cool looking jig I'm going to have to make one. I'd also like to see a video of the planer holder you have on the wall be hind you.
GOODJOB!!!
Cool jig, thanks! Quick and safe cuts without any hassle. Will definitely be making this for when I'll be making my pallet coasters :)
Nice tip about the thinner blade too, might have to get one to save some wood.
I have used even smaller blades from cordless circular saws. Was great for cutting strips for model airplane building.
Nice!
Have you tried the Diablo 6 1/2” 60T blade? I bought one from Home Depot and I love it. Back then I got it for $9. Try it out.
Have you had one come back at you? I thought the rule is to never pinch the off fall against the fence. I am not new but not advanced and honestly I just a have a huge amount of respect for the dangers of a table saw more than any other tool in my shop.
Good Vid, you could always write on the jig do not destroy or something, thin strip ripping jig. I shall make one of these for when I need thin kerf thickness strips for Celtic Knots.
You should make affiliate links to amazon for the items (blades and tools and what not) you use. It doesn’t cost anyone any more to buy the items but you get some “pocket change” for helping your viewers find the items they want.
knife handle slabs prefect thank!
Great video! What would I do if ripping 8' strips? I'm planning on using salvaged wood for joint moldings in my shed/shop. Thanks!
Thanks, Colin it's a great video. My issue is that the strips I need are 16" long, various thicknesses for Charcuterie boards. My table saw from the front edge to the blade is shorter than that and I can't keep the jig against the fence. Any ideas anyone?
Good video...but I’m trying to make strips that are long...much longer...60 inches in fact. I would like to know how to make an off-feed for them .
Mount a steel plate on the big one so you can stick the little one on it and always have both together.
I don't see the link for the magnetic thin ripping jig, you stated would would post it please provide...and thanks for all the good vids...
The second one could be made with a runner, thereby making it easier to cut long strips
After watching this it occurred to me it was the solution to making thin wedge strips. Put a 5 degree bevel on the jig block and 5 degrees on the stock. It makes 10 degree wedges by flipping the stock end over end pass after pass. You can use the stock down to a shred without needing a skinny push stick or moving the fence. I use the wedges to fill gaps in paint grade work. Tuck them in knife off excess.
thank you
This jig definitely works for short lengths but what if you want, for example, 3 or 4 foot long thing strips? Do you have a variation that works for that?
Thanks
Are there issues or concerns with the thin strip being run through without a riving knife?
