I am into building toys etc. for grand kids. Would like to try to build some but I do not understand the jig. It make take a few days of thinking. Retired so have the time.

Brian, look up Jim Steinbrecher on YouTube and watch his video series on making American Logs.. The jig rides in the miter track of my table saw. Using a stacked dado set the jig evenly spaces dados on the logs, the, using a cross cut blade, it trims the ends to uniform length.

Thanks, watched part 1 and have it figured out, that kept my brain from overheating. At my son’s place so can watch more utube videos, At home I only have cell phone hotspot.
