 Heres what others have to say about the Jimmy Jig...Dear Seumas, thought I would give you an update on my Jimmy Jig since I saw you still had a picture of it on your website ( the one with the Bessey clamp). It is still working perfectly. there are no cracks in the casing where the Bessey enters the plastic, nor has it loosened or show any signs of strain. I have made complete cabinets and workbench for my garage. Bookshelves, 10 ft desk with drawers and cabinets and a kitchen hutch to furniture quality. All with the Makita and my Jimmy Jig. In short, the device knows no limits. Thanks again to you. Ron Corselli I received the plans and took a few hours to study the plans and get my head screwed on Scottish style. I started on the jig in the morning and finished around lunch time. I put it together in my fathers cabinet shop, he did not understand it at first but as it took shape he had to admit to it's merit. After getting everything waxed and a minor adjustment to the fence my little $150.00 portable saw was cutting plywood almost as well as his model 66 Powermatic. I would like to thank you for sharing this information with me. Kevin Lawrence, N.E. Florida. A great invention! Steven Maxwell, Canadian Workshop Magazine Facinating concept seumas, I have never seen this clever adapatation before. Too many "professionals" poop on the idea that a benchtop tool can be a serious machine capable of high quality results; all it takes is a little ingenuity and creativity to solve the problem. Your innovation is remarkable and I hope you get the recognition you deserve. Hank Metz, Mundelein. Illinois. The jig is worth a look, saw his video, I was impressed and its quite an idea. Danny Proulx, Rideau Cainets Interesting site and concept. Seems to make sense and, leave it to a Scot to do it as cheaply as possible. You will be receiving a check for $20 US soon for the plans. Shelby Jones Blountville, TN I will be forwarding you a check in the amount of $30 can. for the complete set of plans for the Jimmy Jig. I have been using a Radial Arm saw for 25 years as a preference to a table saw - partly because I never felt secure with the safety featurers of a table saw. Your web site comments, together with the comments in the Aug. edition of Canadian Home Workshop magazine have convinced me that my concerns with a table saw may be possible to overcome. I would like to construct your Jimmy Jig. You have a neat web page and have provided a number of interesting references. John Scott Last night I spotted your page on the internet and read all about the "Jimmy Jig" . This sounds like the best thing a tablesaw could have; As it seems to address all the Short-Comings of a table saw. Lindy of Pressing Matters, Vermillion S.D. After a week of fighting 4x8's of 3/4 in.MDF and ply,almost reducing thumb count to one,hurting a foot,ankle,elbow and teaching the neighbor's children acroos the canyon several Anglo-Saxon words their mother had not wanted in their vocabulary; I wish to order a set of plans for the "Jimmy Jig" Looking forward to relief. Charles E. Hair From my experience it seems to me you have taken a good idea to its logical conclusion. Dave Waddell, Retired General Contractor Where to hell has the Jimmy Jig been all my life? No. 1 in innovation. William Sneilder, Sneilder Construction If a rip fence is not an intregal part of a platform, it may, in time be less than 100% parallel to the blade which will cause cutting errors and the potential danger to the user of a "kickback". "THE ORIGINAL JIMMY JIG" eliminates this. Inventors Digest | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
