These are some simple jigs I have made recently!
The resaw jig is simply made from a piece of maple for durability.
I used the miter kit from Rockler 5 bucks well spent!
The drill press jig or straight line jig i made for drilling out axles on a locomotive Im building.
This jig mounts directly to the table on my drill press. It was a design build project!!!!
i laid a piece of plywood on the table and went from there.
I made the disc sander jig to make the wheels for the locomotive!
Thank you for taking the time to look

Thank you!
I was attacking the resaw jig from the other side (left)...
The right side, where the miter slot is located, is much easier!
I will do it… BUT, most of the time, I can just use the plain ole fence on the left side to do it.
... but… there have been times…
Thanks again.

Nice jigs, making the jig instead of buying one is more fun and a fraction of the cost.

Much more cost effective!
I enjoy the challenge of trial and error (its mostly error when I make it! hahaha!)
I did also try the adjustable fence method and it seemed to take me more time to
set it up than the miter slot method!
I just mark a line on the top edge of the board I want to re-saw and align up my jig
to the center of the blade and adjust my cut as im cutting for blade drift!

That resaw works like a champ, and the miter jigs work pretty damn good to. Looks great man!

Another vote for the train. Are you building from purchased plans or your own imagination/plans?

David,
Is THIS the miter kit you used?
If so, looks like the price went UP a tad… :)
The Resaw Jig:
How do you move it To/From the Blade distance? I do not see a slot… (?)
Thank you.
