Jointing Jig When
I buy lumber I usually pick it up at a local lumberyard that specializes in hardwoods. To save some money I buy it as 4/4.
This wood has only been roughly cut and planed and has no finished edges. To make this lumber usable I have to straighten
it and plane it to thickness myself. This makes a little more work but can save a lot of money. I made this jig when I had
to straighten the edge of a large stack of lumber. It would have taken quite a while to run it through the jointer and trying
to do it safely would have been a challenge. I had a few toggle clamps lying around the shop so I used them with some plywood
to make a jig that I could use to quickly clamp a board to and run the whole thing through the table saw to straighten the
lumber. This method allowed me to cut a large amount of lumber in a very short time. I actually find myself reaching for this
jig to straighten lumber more often than the jointer.
