So, I do require that one of my jigs be used when cutting car bodies.It was made from some scrap wood, 1/4" MDF for use as spoil boards, a couple of cabinet knobs and 3 screws. If anyone wants a drawing on this, I can gin one up.

Simplified Bandsaw Jig
While my other jig has been handy, I did also make up this simpler jig, which is easier to work with. It has been used at many workshops and has proved to be useful. I certainly don't want anyone leaving a workshop with a finger in a baggie with ice. So, I do require that one of my jigs be used when cutting car bodies.

Re: Simplified Bandsaw Jig
Love this. I am not a wood worker but it looks like something I could actually make. Plans appreciated.

Here you go. I made it out of some scrap 3/4" material plus some 1/4" MDF for the "spoil boards".mclewis_13 wrote: ↑Fri Nov 08, 2019 11:41 amLove this. I am not a wood worker but it looks like something I could actually make. Plans appreciated.

Re: Simplified Bandsaw Jig
Any chance you have or could shoot a video of this being used?
Is the block clamped to the jig?
glued to the jig?
floating free?

Re: Simplified Bandsaw Jig
Sorry, I don't have a video. It is a simple pusher, so the block is not clamped to it. You could make a loop of duct tape to help hold it to the jig.

Re: Simplified Bandsaw Jig
Here's a little more complex of a jig that I created to try to hold the block. Doesn't work quite the way I would like it to, though. Could use a better clamping means
