In this video I show you how I make two different jigs for my circular saw or skill saw. I start with a rip cut jig and then use part of that jig to make a cross cut jig as well.

    Dude most content is overly complicated or requires other big tools. Thanks for making this video, which is simple, goes straight to the point, and leaves the ego of having a big workshop aside.
  • @ManishSingh2k
    Thank you for showing how to do it with basic tools. The other videos that I had watched before this one used tens of expensive machines that most DIYers like me don't own.
  • @GingerGiant01
    This will be so much easier and cheaper than buying/renting a table saw. Thanks.
  • @hussaink4001

    Thanks Tim. Very simple and straightforward instructions using basic tools. 👍
  • @deaneng8540
    His a tip Make sure you make a wide enough jig so you can clap it down on the back end otherwise you won't be able to clamp it your jig down because the circular saw will be in the way. I didn't do that now I have to remake the darn thing
  • @AdamDrew
    Thanks so much for this video. There are lots of "how to make a jig" videos on YouTube, and I think I watched them all, but yours is the best in terms of both showing AND telling me how to actually do it.
  • @draoby8451
    Much appreciated Tim, exactly what I was looking for
  • @gregs4247
    These jigs are nice and simple. Does not take up much space in my garage. Just got a new cordless circular saw. Perfect for a DIYer like myself.
  • @robertvillen

    I made 3 sizes of those jigs in 82 while working at a lumber yard and still have them. Great simple jigs.
