ABSOLUTELY SMASHING JOB .I'M NEARLY 80 BEEN A CHIPPY ALL MY WORKING LIFE AND I KNOW YOU DON' T NEED ANY IMPROVEMENT POINTERS .BUT AS THEY SAY IN THE UK ,ALL THE BEST PLAYERS ARE WATCHING FROM THE LINE .
THANKS TONY T.
Thank you!
anthony thomas .. Hello Anthony, i totally agree with you!!
One question to you: what kind of dustmask do you use every day?
Please could give you me an advise?
The electrical woodworker dust mask is 400 euro here in Holland.
Thanks in advance and have a nice day!🤝
I am so glad I watched this. I never even thought about making internal cuts! I was just planning to make a bandsaw substitute but this is so much better.
One big bonus of making one of these jigsaw tables is that when you turn the saw upside down, and you cut your wood with the marking on the topside the tear out is on the bottom, which doesn't happen if you use the jigsaw the "normal" way up. I never seen anyone comment on this advantage of a jigsaw table. Cleaner cuts straight away.
Fabulous idea... I don't have a band saw and been struggling with a hand held jig saw... This makes things look sooo much easier... Thank you !!
Thank you, and no problem! If you decide to build it, good luck with the project!
Free hand jigsaws are fine if you don't feed them in to fast and hard to a work peace, you can getaway with better results inverting them into a table saw though!
this guy has very realistic and practical videos. (not making a little thing by $60,000 tools). if you make any money here, I hope you make more.
Thanks for the sentiment - I appreciate it!
Great idea! I made one in an afternoon, with some simple modifications, using the odd offcuts I had lying around. As my jigsaw only permitted around 3 cm of blade through the base, I had to mount the arm a little lower, despite this, I put the blade guides below the arm, as I only intend to use it for cutting out precise shapes in fairly thin board. Works like a dream! Thanks again.
I may add that I also used a "t-nut" - like the fixing found inside a bed divan - instead of threading the wood , along with a spare bedhead fixing bolt, so a ready-made and effective adjustment handle.
Pretty clever idea. You guys who come up with these jigs never cease to amaze me. Everyone is telling me the most important tool in the shop besides a table saw is a band saw. Well, problem solved (except for those tall re-saw jobs which I will probably never do anyway). Thanks so much for inspiring me and potentially saving me hundreds of dollars.
It's not a true replacement for a bandsaw, but it will certainly fill in for one. The major benefit of this is that you can make internal cuts, and the major benefit of a bandsaw is the blade only traveling downward. This tends to make the piece jump, so you need to hold it more firmly than you would a bandsaw. Again, it's certainly nice to have as a fill in, and it takes up a lot less room. Either way, I'm glad you dig it. Thanks for letting me know!
This took quite a bit of work just to please your fans. Much respect! I still think I'm going to save up for a bandsaw. Already have a hand me down scroll saw from my Grandpa. Great engineering!
Thank you very much, and good luck in your search for a bandsaw!
I've probably said this before, but you need more subs!! Your work (and in particular your explanation of the process) is awesome. Love your channel fella.....
Thanks, man! I appreciate the compliments!
Hi Tommy,
I shouldn't be surprised anymore !!! Yet I still get Amazed by your TALENT !!!
You are very Humble and explain each step as you go very well. I like your style of videos as well with the Naration. I don't care for the kind where they point and assume that the viewers know what each piece is. I also appreciate you talking about mistakes made so we don't need to make them also. Thanks again for sharing your thoughts and videos, Rodney
Thank you for the wonderful compliments, Rodney! I'm glad to know that you're still digging the channel after all this time!
I made it and, as per my previous comment, I turned the blade 90 degrees so that the arm didn't get in the way of a long cut. It works brilliantly. Thank you for the design. I had to make some minor alterations, like making the it wider to fit the jigsaw now that it has been turned. Also, when fitting the bolt for the bearing at the new angle which went down the arm instead of across it, I found that if the hole is cut 1 size smaller, the bolt self tapped, so no need for the nut the other end. Cant wait to try the next one......
It sounds awesome! Thanks for sharing your experience!
Nice work, Tommy! Looks like another project for me👍🏼 Thanks for your efforts. I had a scroll saw but didn't find it that useful so returned it for a bandsaw, which gets a hammering.This will be a very adequate replacement.
I have just finished a disc sander based on yours. All worked very well and it has repurposed a Makita corded drill that has gathered dust for years.
Cheers from Western Australia.
Michael, thank you so much for wonderful compliments, and thanks for buying plans/supporting my channel! I'm glad to know that the disc sander has been working well for you - it always makes me happy to hear when someone has completed a project. Thanks again, and good luck with your future projects!
Simple design and looks very functional. Well done.
Thank you very much!
The jigsaw table is a really a really neat build and you have a lot of excellent ideas. Thanks for sharing this.
Thank you very much, John!
Thanks for sharing this ... in the perfect moment. Im building a new shop atm and i have an old unused jigsaw.
Awesome! If you end up building one, good luck - let me know how it goes!
Thanks for sharing your thoughts, talent and videos. I thought the blade would be open because of when you talked about the inside cuts? I realize that the bearing gives it strength and support. The final picture looks like a homemade scrollsaw. However you look at it? It's AWESOME !!! Thanks again for sharing your talent and videos, Rodney
Thank you, Rodney! I appreciate the compliments, and am glad you're enjoying my videos!
While I won't be making one of these (I have a bandsaw and a scroll saw) I did like seeing the build, there is always something to learn!
Thanks for letting me know you enjoyed it!
Excellent job, video & English language! THANK U
Thank you!
Thanks for your help. I’ve almost got mine finished. It even works very well without the arm.
Stan
Great!
Being stuck in the Corona Virus shutdown leaves plenty of time for home “workshop” tasks. Thanks again for this video.
Very clever Tommy!
I have an old B&D jigsaw this would work perfectly for.
Thank you! Good luck if you decide to give it a go!
A great idea. I only have an 18v cordless Jigsaw but I may still make this jig for it. One thing I will do is make the blade guides out of the plastic I used for mitre slot guides for my table saw sleds. Thank you. Tony.
Thanks for directing me to a video where you use threaded wood holes and metal bolts! Definitely something to add to the tool bag, ;-)
As for this jig saw table, pretty neat. I don't believe I've seen this before. A couple random notes: you could add washers under the blade guide screws for more even clamping force and reduced likelihood of other problems. Some paste wax on your blade and the blade guides may help things run more smoothly, unless you happen to be able to get some lignum vitae which would be awesome for this application. Alternatively some hdpe or UHMW pe would work well too. You mention that it's pretty good at tight turns but your using a fairly wide blade with a large tooth pattern, a more narrow blade with more teeth meant for fine cutting should get you as tight a turn as you could hope for, I'd imagine. Fantastic tool and a great way to repurpose a "broken" jigsaw.
No problem! Thanks for the suggestions, and welcome to the channel!
Cool idea. A tip for you. When threading wood try soaking the threads in the wood with thin viscosity super glue. 2 - 3 applications. Then chase the threads again with the tap after the glue is thoroughly dry. Your threads will be much stronger!
Thank you, and thanks for the tip! I think somebody mentioned that before (it might have been you), but I've yet to try it. Maybe I'll do a test where I see how much force it adds to the force required to break the threads. If I do, I'll be sure to post a video!
Agree. It’s well worth doing. Game changer / you get threads that are as tough as AL or brass inserts.
Dang that's a good idea.
When you're going to shorten any bolt, always thread a nut onto it below where you're going to cut. When you have removed the sharp edges the nut will clean out the thread as you unscrew it from the bolt.
Nice tip
Dear Tommy, I do miss my bandsaw but what you built is a very functional alternative. Thanks for sharing. A couple of flat washers beneath the heads of the side guide screws would protect the guides from cracking. Cheers.
Thank you for the feedback, and the suggestion!
I have an older jig saw I might try this with, great idea!
If you do, good luck with the project!
Thanks for sharing that, well done!
Hi Tom, great little project! Looks like it might benefit from side bearings as well.
Thanks for sharing that idea! I was actually going to do that, but it limited my depth of cut, so I went with wooden blocks. Honestly, I'm glad I ended up going with the wooden blocks because they work very well, and are dead simple to make/setup/use. Anyway, I hope this helps!
Very nice - and something I can implement at once for a current project!
Thank you, and good luck with your project!
Excellent presentation and skill. Very useful for amateur and home masters
Thank you!
A very good effort, immensely helpful indeed
I think this would work very will in my workshop and it looks very easy to make thanks again
Awesome build, thanks for sharing!
I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Tommy, you made an awsome, well explained and useful video! Well done my friend!
Thank you!
This is pretty awesome stuff. I need one of these and my first attempt at this was JANKY at best. I like this design and will likely tweak it a bit for my use case. Good work!
Thanks, Carl! Good luck with your next build!
I love it Sir! Found my next shop project!
Thank you, and good luck with the project!
I'm going to build me one of those. Looks fantastic. Thanks.
You shown very in detailed clean thanks for sharing
Great idea well executed.
I think I'd like to have a cover on the end of the blade support arm to cover where the end of the blade where it would stab you if you got any flesh near it. I was surprised that you didn't mount the switch flush with the top instead of on the surface. There are narrower jigsaw blades that would be helpful for tighter turning radius.
Your hands are usually well below the rising blade for you to be stabbed from it, I guess if you feel you need that extra safety then go for it, but make it long enough to not hit the blade once you make adjustments when lowering!
Nice and simple is always the best well done
Brilliant!
I knew I was saving that old power jig saw for a reason. I am definitely making one of these, nice work.
Thank you, and good luck with the project!
б
A couple of face mounted skate bearings make solid blade guides if you want to further upgrade the tolerance.
Thanks for sharing the idea!
Cool idea. Id have scrounged up some pieces of delron for the blade guides.
Tommy, you're a badass, I almost threw away my old corded jigsaw. Liked & subscribed bro!
Thank you for subscribing, and welcome to the channel!
All these diy how to guys have so many nice scraps of wood!
If you ask my girlfriend, she'd say I have a hoarding problem 😂
Fantastic
Wow.. Very nice. This is a very good project and simple as well. Thanks for sharing
I’m glad you liked it!
Nice one! I like the single bearing concept 👏🇦🇺✌️
I’m saving this one!!!
👍🏼 😎
Отличная идея и прекрасное исполнение без лишних сложностей. Спасибо.
Спасибо! Я рад, что тебе понравилось!
Nice work on the jigsaw table Tommy! Thank you for sharing the video.👌👍😎JP
Thank you, JP!
Your very welcome Tommy! Have a great week!😎
nice project and as usual, excellent video.
Thank you!
Hey Tommy. Nice project and great video my friend. Keep up the good work. AK
AK, thank you very much!
Love it. Try it with a sawzall with an adjustable height for different size and type blades. I might even try it when I get time . Thanks for sharing. Like your ideas.
Thank you! If you do build a sawzall version, please let me know how it goes!
I'd like to see that too!
Definitely stealing this idea! Subscribed.
3 Options:
1) Use a rechargable saw.
2) Use steel tubing with the wooden top.
3) Use all steel and a little bit of welding.
I'm thinking about Option 3 myself, but to each their own! 😊
Thank you for subscribing and welcome to the channel! Good luck with your build - be sure to come back and let us know how it goes!
Bloody awesome! Many thanks
Thank you!
I love it .
Muito bom esse trabalho ficou ótimo
Muito obrigado!
Really like the concept! I'll redesign it to use MDF and pine - plywood is too expensive where I live.
Thank you, and good luck with the project!
You basically made an upside down (?) scroll saw. Great tool and video. I like that you show HOW you work and your creative process along the way ... really helps newer woodworkers. We almost don't need the plans ... yet u include them as well! Also, you get right to it ... no BS about your dog or what you did last weekend!
Two small suggestions: if u use the wooden guides with the screws use washers and maybe even countersink first. OR make the guides out of UHMW plastic (better option I think). Btw, if any newbie is thinking of just clamping his jigsaw upside-down into vise ... DON"T! It's okay for cutting thin stock (thin long dowel stock or thin square stock) but anything else is dangerous. I know because I "jackassedly" said "why not just strap the old jigsaw into the vise" etc. That's why I watch videos ... esp when making homemade tools.
Thank you, and thanks for sharing ideas and experience!
very nice...clean and well thought out.
Thank you, Richard!
This is a good idea. My Bandsaw ( JET) working area is so small.
Great idea
Thank you!
Nice build! It would be great if you could start videos with short demonstration how it is used and main construction points and then jump into build details.
Thank you, and thanks for the suggestion!
thanks. good ideas. answered some questions I had about guides
Thank you - I'm glad you found it helpful!
Great idea . I think I’ll give it ago my self when I get my new place ... until then I’ll save it .
Thank you, and good luck on the new place!
Good work !Nice project.
Thank you very much!
Brilliant!!
Thank you!
Really good...
Thank you!
Very good and easy thanks
Thank you!
Nice one! looks like it works well!
Thanks man!
I won't ever build one of these but I admire your ingenuity.
Thank you for compliment - I appreciate it!
Great idea thanks for sharing
Thank you!
Good work
Ciao from Italy.👌
Thank you!
Nice build
Thank you, Shawn!
Great job.
Thanks!
Great Job. ! !

Excellent!!!
Thank you!
Dude you’re killing me with the music
Excellent video thanks for sharing
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Awesome
Thank you!
Felicitaciones!!!😅
Está muy práctico su proyecto!!!
Excelente!!
Cordial saludo!!
Well done tommy
Thank you very much!
An Amazing idea, I even gave it a like, and I do really, really enjoy the idea has a whole!! BUT I do not own a band saw, nor do I own a workbench, and I certainly DO NOT have a bench vice!! And I am 54 years old who is also now disabled! My shop you might ask too, is tiny, only 8 foot by 8 foot big and then space is always a problem!!! It really bugs me I can't do more work as well, because of my medical problems but further not having basic tools like a band saw, drill press or a bench vice, really makes things hard for me as well too!!!
Thanks for letting me know you enjoyed the video! I'm sorry to hear that medical issues have slowed you down, but I hope you're able to find a way to continue getting into the shop and getting some time in with your hobby. Best of luck!
God bless you and your family brother from India
Very handy. I will make on myself but in iron. ;-)
That sounds awesome! Good luck with the project!
Very well done, exceptionally useful with the removable guide arm........ One comment.....damn you must have a super fine scrap box...!!
Thanks for letting me know you enjoyed the project! And yes, I do keep ALL my scraps, and therefore have a nice collection. My girlfriend might argue that I have TOO NICE of a collection...or at least too large of one - lol 🤣 Plus, I've built a lot of tools from Baltic Birch plywood over the last year, so I've been accumulating those high quality scraps this whole time. I've also learned that when I go shopping for electrical switches, boxes, bolts, nuts, etc., to just buy extras of everything. Those plastic boxes and light switches are cheap (usually about $1 or less), so I just buy handfuls of them - saving a trip to the store is worth having extra hardware on hand. Actually though, I think the plywood used for this job was only about 40" x 26" worth. So if you were to build it from scratch, you'd need about $10 worth of plywood, $2-3 in electrical, $2 in hardware, and a few cents worth of hardwood. Let's say about $15 total. Anyway, thanks again! Now you gotta start working on building up your scrap box 😉
Will do the scrap box thing for sure. I already mounted a jigsaw under a small table which I use often, but will enlarge the work area and add the guide arm. I like how you've done yours and will copy it. Thanks again for sharing and tell your girlfriend that a woodworking hobby is about the best for a man....keeps one at home, but not in the house underfoot. My wife is not too bad with a hammer and saw either.
Good luck with adding the guide arm - let me know how t goes! And I was (mostly) joking about my girlfriend‘s commentary. She’s very supportive and has actually gotten into woodworking too. She has built several pieces of furniture (mostly tables) that have all turned out really great. I like to brag that I taught her everything she knows, but the reality is that she’s just a smart cookie and learning comes easy to her. Don’t tell her I said that though 😉
Okay man......great talking with you. Take care.
@@OneMinuteWorkbench Hello it's me again and the blade guide works perfectly..... I installed a smaller blade for much better (smaller) curves and circles. Anaco, Anz.
Nice, I like it
Thank you, John!
Well done video
Thank you, John!
Хорошо сделал, тоже себе так сделаю!
Спасибо и удачи в проекте!
Nice
Dope Mate...
Thanks!
Clever!
Thank you!
You make this look spool easy!
Do you deliver? I'd like one installed my garage. Lol!
Great video, and Thank you!
Pam
Lol - no deliveries yet 😂 Thanks for letting me know you enjoyed the video!
i am going to build something along same lines but use bearings as a blade guide aswell, nice and easy tool design though :)
Another top video! I make one too. Thx!
Thank you!
Oh..so that's why mine doesn't cut curves. Good stuff, I should make a proper jigsaw table when I get back into woodworking.
I hope you get back into it soon - it's good for the soul!
I like your design much better than my crude setup. I didn't re-inforce the outside of the table and got so much vibration, while attempting to cut a board, that I got a terrible blood blister from being pinched.
Thanks, Jim! And now, you have an idea for your next version - good luck!
Hi Tommy, You've done it again and built something that would cost a fortune to buy, for a few pounds (in the UK). Thanks for sharing. When are you going to make the plans available? I love the fact that your plans are available at a very reasonable cost as well. Cheers, Huw
Thanks, Huw! I'm glad to know that you are finding the videos & plans helpful! The plans for this project are already up. Here's a link: oneminuteworkbench.com/product/vise-mounted-jigsaw-table/ Thanks again, and good luck!
