Richarda Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 This staying home is enough to drive a man to drink! Fortunately for me it's a short drive. I've been using a scrap of plywood and two scraps nailed on it to make my splines. And it's shaky as hell. At my age shaky is part of everyday, so I needed to come up with something that would curtail all that shakiness. I had some scrap Alder plywood taking up space, so, I thought if I put some of it together, I could get it to take up more space. I think I was successful. What do you guys think? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chet Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 That is a real nice design, with the adjustability that give you some holding power. I will probably borrow some of this idea. Cigar in the background of the photo, nice touch.

Richarda Posted May 13, 2020 Author Share Posted May 13, 2020 Cigar is rarely out of reach. It's my skull cap or you might say my thinking tool. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodenskye (Bryan) Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 Nicely done! That should work well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kev Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 Nicely done Richard! I have a fence rider but, should probably upgrade it to something a little nicer like this! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Truthfully, I remembered that Dave aka: treeslayer at WTO, had made one. I couldn't find his to steal the idea, but I did remember some of it's salient points and added them. It turned out that his and mine are 80% alike. Proof that great minds really do think alike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tmize Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 That is one of the many table saw jigs I’ve been planning on build for years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richarda Posted May 13, 2020 Author Share Posted May 13, 2020 This is what I used before I built this. It has a board on the back to ride the fence. Horrible way to cut splines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coop Posted May 14, 2020 Share Posted May 14, 2020 Very well done. Glad to see you back active in the shop. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamie Posted May 15, 2020 Share Posted May 15, 2020 Nicely done sir, looks very stable. I like how the adjustment seems very simple to operate. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
