Workshop
Five Jigs We Reach for Every Day
By Marcus Hale · November 4, 2025
Five offcut-built fixtures that turn fussy operations into reliable ones.
Repeat work should not mean repeated measuring. Our shooting boards, dovetail markers and stair jigs turn fussy operations into reliable ones.
The five we reach for daily: a 90-degree shooting board, a dovetail marker set, a stair-tread jig, a thin-rip push system, and a panel-flattening sled — most built from offcuts in a single afternoon.
Good jigs are the workshop’s quiet apprentices.
Build each jig true, label it, and hang it where the work happens. Future you will be grateful every single day.
