jmalcolm001 | A great jig, but you should keep a couple things in mind when making it. First, neither Home Depot nor Lowes carries these toggle clamps in their stores, but do offer them online. So does Amazon for even quicker delivery. The clamps that Steve uses in his video seem to clamp by lifting up the lever, however the ones from Amazon that he provides a link to work by pressing down on the lever. That normally wouldn't matter, however when you press the lever down, the extended length of the clamp is just over 4". Steve says to cut the top board 4" wide, so if you fasten the clamp to the board even as little as 1/4" from the edge, the end of the clamp lever runs into the fence, and so you will loose the use of the straight edge of the top board. I know, as it happened to me!! To avoid this problem, cut the top piece of wood no less than 4-1/2", and maybe even 5", in case your clamps extend even further out!!

Josh Rockwell | I finally got around to making this, can't wait to try it out! I've seen comments about using it as a tapering jig, is there a video explaining how to do that?

Lior G. | Hi Steve, this jig works well for me EXCEPT on thin stock. (1/4”) I was trying to make a nice trim on a speaker stand and it’s not jointing AT all. All kinds of gaps are still there. Would love your input on that... thanks!

Timothy DC | Ha, I made one earlier this year. It's nice to have. Used some Bessey auto adjust toggle clamps.
