Steve Maskerys Wood working DVDS

[ADRIANCLARKE]

Would just like to recommend Steve Maskerys wood working DVDs I have 1-5 wood working essentails and found them all extremely informative. For example I have been a Carpenter Joiner for over 25 years and have recently purchased some new machines second hand which I was not completely sure how to set up correctly Steve comprehensively deals with this in Band saw essentials. His service was also spot on being quick and efficient as well as helpful and polite in all email and telephone dealings. Give them a go!

All of the vids of his I've seen I've always enjoyed despite being appalled by the choice of shirts ;-)

Where is Steve these days?

He is still very much around. I last saw him at Ye Old Kentish Bash on 6th March and he has been quite active on the forum since then.

Whoo-hoo! Fans!

Thank you, Adrian et al. Very much appreciated.

I'm still here - just. Life is a bit tricky at the mo. Not sure what the future holds, or indeed, if there is a future at all. But anyway, whatever, I've developed the best tablesaw tenon jig in the whole wide world. I want that on my epitaph, OK?
I'm glad everyone is happy.
Steve

Glad to see your still active Steve, but concerned about 'indeed, if there is a future at all' - do you know something about the large hadron collider you're not telling us ;-) ?

Keep ya chin up Steve....you certainly have my support here.

I loved the 4&5 editions...I need to watch them again...and make that jig!

Do you know if Ian stocks the tiny blades?

yeah thats going to be WE 6 - steve maskery tackles doomsday, jigs guaranteed to contain a burgeoning blackhole - also included shorts on surviving the erruption of the yellow stone volcano , by turning your workshop into a self sufficient underground bunker , and jigs and tips for turning aside a comet impact :lol:

joking aside steve, theres always a future mate, howecer black it looks right now, and we are all here for you if you need to talk

Hmm, sounds like a follower of the 2012 syndrome to me. :lol: Just remember Steve another door always opens. Keep yer chin up. :wink:

I have to say I've always been put of by SM's videos as when ever I've watched a clip steve always tisks as he starts a sentence (Not a slight on steve, just sometimes I get annoyed by ever so minor things!), but I watched the finger joint one the other day, and once past the introduction he didn't do it and I loved it. He was very natural to watch and his jig was excellent, so consider me a converted fan Steve!

That subject came up this afternoon!

Down to 1/8" in stock, apparently, but he explained that suitability varies with machine (I've gone for 3/16" to be on the safe side).

Ian's a very helpful person, and I can't wait to see what the small blades are like (already have some of his bigger ones).

Well, you already know i'm a big fan Steve, but i guess things like that can't be said to often!

I have enjoyed my mega bundle of DVD's to no end, and i am very much looking forward to the next one in the series, so get going, will you

I have to admit, that also bothered me at first - but, you do get used to hearing it!! :wink:

hi steve fans,

i've heard so much about this ultimate table saw jig and...as i am currently in need of cutting a few tennons.....thought it about time to find out more.

is it adaptable to a sliding carriage? cant really see much in the teaser clip, just a load of jigs that arn't that good aparrently.

anyone got any ideas. also a bit skint at the mo, till my felders working properly and i can finish the mountain of work piling up. the technician is downstairs as we speak, i think i'll chain the door and only let him out when i'm happy. i'll feed him bread and water obviously!

OK guys, so I have a speech impediment.....
BSM What were you drinking last night? I'll have a pint of what you're on!

The UTTJ as described in the video runs on the rip fence. This has the advantage of being very flexible as regards what sub-faces you can attach for doing different jobs, and quick adjustment of the distance from the saw.

It can also be built to run in the mitre slot of the saw. This has the advantage that it can be removed, the saw used for another job and then jig replaced without losing any settings.

I'm currently building such a version.

The actual operation of the jig is the same in both cases. The jig just slides between two pre-determined positions, so the two cheeks can be cut without having to reclamp and ret the workpiece in the jig. Cut, slide, cut.

As to using it on a sliding table, I see no reason why not. As long as you have some means of attaching it to your ST (I imagine you could easily clamp it to your cross-cut fence) and that would require modification only to the lower carriage, then the ST will give you the same to-fro travel as when riding the rip fence.

The jig is limited only by the height of your saw. A 10" saw will give you 3" tenon length. So whilst it does not quite have the capacity of a double-headed tenoner, its combination of good capacity, accuracy, versatility and the fact that it is guarded, all make this my preferred method of cutting tenons. What other jig allows you to tweak the position of the tenon by 0.1mm without affecting the fit?

Does that answer your questions, Jeff? Let me know if you have any more. Money back guarantee if you are not happy. You'd be the first.

Cheers
Steve
