IMO The Next Level Carpentry has the best tips for making shims and many other woodworking related topics!
Great job. I love your professional approach to your tradee and your willingness to put a lot of "off " time into sharing with others.
Thanks Ron. I learn something new and helpful every time I visit your channel.
Built it and cut a whole bucket of shims in an hour. I get about 25 shims out of a 9" long piece of 2x8. Awesome. I have officially bought my last $9 bundle of shims!
Excellent Jig, I really like how the Jig captures the Shim and holds it through the saw cut...
Great stuff as always Ron. I love your channel, innovative and informative.
Ron, I have been making drawers for my trailer like the ones you made for your trailer. I asked you during the drawer video "if dado were really necessary?". Well, after building and assembling many drawers I have to say you were right. The little bit of time it takes to dado the drawer bottoms saved a ton of time and aggravation when assembling the drawers. Learning so much, thanks.
Long live the Dado.
You have seen the light. So many carpenters/woodworkers do back flips to avoid dados when they are beyond easy to make an offer many advantages over other methods, alignment and strength being two of them.
Kind of like metric. I started using metric after I bought festool and it is so much easier. Why did I wait so long?
I just built mine. Great video as always. Thanks for sharing.
I missed the bit about how you get two different thicknesses out of one jig?😊
Love your videos Ron. Bought all your plans recently but have watched your videos for years now. You inspired my Festool track saw purchase! My wife doesn't care for you. Lol. Thanks for this video as well. Great idea.
Well like a tool store told my wife one time when she was with me and seeing all these high priced tools "you need to understand why your husband buys these tools and that is to make money and to have more tax deductions so he wont have to pay as much to the irs". She understood from that day on and never another complaint came from her! Sometimes you have to put things into a different and simple perspective for other people to understand better!
Great video, thanks for allowing me into your shop. this is a great jig
Outstanding tool. Great job
Hi Ron ! I don't know anything about you , but what i can say is that you are a hell of a guy ! in the good way ! thanks for sharing to us this jig and keep up of good work ! P.S. : nice garage man ! huge by the way ! ;)
Hey Ron... What about that work bench you have on the back...? Why you dont sale that... Just jocking... Great videos thanks for all the lesons you give me...
Great jig, thanks for sharing.
Great job 👍
Nice idea Ron!! Good video
Did you mention you have to flip the stock after each cut? I didn't hear it, but kind of important
I demonstrated flipping the stock in this video
Not that it matters but when your making your second arc you could have butted up the two pieces of ply instead of balancing the can on the one piece. Loving all these videos
Are there dimensions for this jig .... or do you have to buy plans ?
I'm cutting wedges for the fire department that I work at, there 2 1/2 inches long and 1 inch high, the problem I'm running into is after I make the first shim it seems that the piece of wood dosnt for right into the jog because of the last cut.
Dosnt fit right*
make sure you flip the wood over for each cut. I am not sure about your shim size, it may not work with my particular jig as it is designed for 7" thick and thin shims
Thanks a bunch I will work on it some more tomorrow and see if I can solve the problem
Mr. Paulk;
I am building a round table that is being made out of 2" thick Old Barn Wood. There are 24 pieces, at the outside end of each piece will be 9" and the inside end 4". My angle for the sides is 7.5 degrees. Can I use a larger version use this jig and how can I go about building it. Have the will, but not the knowledge. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
I normally use the DW 708 mitre saw at 5 or 10 degrees & just keep flipping the stock
Great idea!
Great idea thanks
Why is Robert Redford teaching woodworking skills?
Not getting many movie rolls these days and got to do something.
+2cofitb My thought exactly!
Doc
2cofitb Cus he got woodworking skills yo!
great idea
Great Tool Tip
Ron did you make it for 1/4 and 3/8 size shims or another size?
Hello K!tty The shim cutter as shown makes ¼" and ½'
Hi, Ron! Went you install base moulding, do you glue-join an outside corner bevel, or do you just nudge the two pieces together and nail gun each to its respective wall? Thanks!
All outside miters are glued
Thanks, Ron!
So... Well... I understand wanting to use a tablesaw to cut these (Much faster) but wouldn't a chop saw (Miter) do this with no complicated jigs?
Or is this for people who don't own the contractor tool set, and just have the woodworker tool set? (I.E. table saw instead of chop saw)
Just wondering!
I used a miter saw for years until I found this jig. It is safer, faster, and cuts a much nicer shim than a miter saw. It is also not complicated to build as the video demonstrates. The skill level to build it is beginner.
Ron Paulk AHH! Makes sense now!
Lot of times people build things like this unnecescarily, wanted to see if it'd be worthwhile to slap one together myself.
Big like.
This guy is a danger to himself !
