About This Video

In this video I do a quick walk-through of the jigs, adapters, and little shop “appliances” I’ve built using MagSwitches (they’re calling them “mag jigs” now). If you’ve never used these, the big idea is simple: turn the handle and they lock down hard to a steel deck, and then you can place a jig anywhere you need it—fast. I also show the way I mount mine in 3/4" plywood: instead of the 1-5/8" hole that can let them spin, I drill two 1-3/8" holes with a 3/8" offset so they drop in and don’t rotate. And I add ultra-thin anti-skid carpet tape to the rubber pad on the bottom, because most of these jigs rely on resisting sideways pull. From there I bounce around the shop: a better, movable dust collector pickup for my reciprocating belt sander; a 45° sanding/chamfering setup for dowels and table legs; and a roller jig for sanding thin strips safely (and yes—go against the grain). On the router table I explain why I went to a steel deck (no more sagging MDF) and how that lets me lock a fence anywhere with precision. I also cover drill press fences and a quick vertical drilling setup, plus table saw favorites like my bowl-making jig (with a wobble wheel), a small-parts deflector, thin-strip ripping, a wheeled featherboard, and an L/duplicating fence for taming live-edge stock safely.
