    Just received my jigs yesterday. Thanks for taking to time to do a "how to" video. Can't wait to use them.
  • I bought the template and love it. Makes it simple and quick.
  • @PinerMade
    Ordered mine a few days ago and appreciate the “how-to”. I’m thinking of making these for Christmas presents to be worn like a normal bow-tie 😂

    Nice and simple. Informative as always. Love your work. 👍🏻
  • Hey Cam, we find the plastic snap on lidded boxes from Indian restaurant takeaways are great for keeping sanding dust…and when you open them you get a smell of spices and wood. Win win
  • This was awesome! Most videos just assume you know how to use the jigs. Thanks for the info.
  • I like as a pro you show your message & how to fix it 👍🏻
  • You can also add some glue around the edges when you sand to fill any gaps.

    Not what I was expecting when I clicked on a Johnny sins “How to”

    Cam, can you use a 1/4" 1+1 compression bit instead of a 1/8" bit? Hope to see you on the 30th for a Maker Meetup.

    Hey Cam, I have your jig, and can't wait to use it. My question, though, what are the calipers you are using? I love the fact they display fractions!

    Great video. I was wondering if you ever put a dovetail in and sand it flush and smooth and then a few days later you can feel the edges of the dovetail?
  • Cam, I ordered the wishbone/wine table jig. Is there a video for those jigs. I realize this video is all I need. Just curious

    Would it be advisable to set my depth too deep ( I know, keep with me) and then slice the Bow Tie so you end up with a couple of Bow Ties per one template? (Cut 1 inch into wood, then when sliced free of board could be sliced twice so you have two 1/2 inch Bow Ties ready to be used from the 1 inch Bow Tie original cut).
  • I think it’s funny how in some of your videos you state how you’re pushing 40 years old, and how it’s difficult for you as a one-man shop to move your builds around. But all I could see this entire video was how ripped you are. Btw great work and great clear video.

    You should make a jig to make chess or checker boards. Walnut with black epoxy and a Rubio finish. You could use either inlays or epoxy. If you do not have that jig are there companies to will do polycarbonate or lexan on a cnc machine?
  • Hey Cam, loved the video. Will be ordering my jig shortly. Can you tell me where you got the lumber racks on the wall? Thanks
