Bench Hook Jig

by Craig Stevens on April 9, 2009



This jig is a great way for kids (and adults) to cut small pieces of wood square and true. It can be made to be used with a back saw or a Japanese saw like a dozuki.

It’s deceptively simply in it’s design, but don’t let that fool you.

This jig can do much more than make square cuts. Watch the video to find out even more useful ways to put this jig to work.

And after watching the video, leave your comments on other ways you’ve discovered to use the bench hook jig.

very good video and this is not just for kids, I know many adults that still depend far too much on their power tools when a simple jig and a hand tool would not only be quicker but would also do a better job. Thanks Jerry

Craig, the sound is not very good on this video, the mike is picking up the surround sound in the room, like an echo, instead of just picking up the speaker’s voice.
The presenter was not you, it was a tall slender guy. I have not been able to link back to it to play it back.

On the Building a Book Holder the video needs to zoom in for a close view of the different parts you talk about.
