    I was planning to dress as a 45 degree miter cut for Halloween, because it’s very scary 😀 but with this jig it looks way less scary, i will definitely build this

    Rubbish full of errors especially when he talks about positioning the tapes towards the end, 3 inch mark is at the short end of the test piece not in the middle where the stop block would finish

    Really well done 👍

    If all the measurements are being made in the left wing, why is the slot for the stop block and the right to left measure tape part of the jig. Wouldn’t it just make sense to use one side right or left as your designated measurement wing? In this case yours would be the left. The right wing seems redundant. What am I missing?

    Great jig and great instruction by the way. 👍🏽
