Tall & Horizontal Table Saw Fences! – L Fence
Tall & Horizontal Table Saw Fences! – L Fence
If you own a table saw, you need a tall fence now and then to cut boards on edge. Add a horizontal fence (sometimes called an L-fence) to the set-up and suddenly the usefulness increases exponentially. You can use this combination to straighten warped or bowed edges, saw long tapers, duplicate complex parts, cut odd miters, even shave a whisker off an edge or an end for a precise fit. Together, these jigs vastly simplify complex woodworking operations without sacrificing precision. You can’t buy either jig; you’ll have to make them — and you can find the woodworking plans in our store at https://workshopcompanionstore.com/products/tall-horizontal-fences-project-plan .

And thank you so much for your time and interest!
Nail holes, nicks and blemishes can also be made to disappear using some water drops (let it soak in but leave some water proud) and then take a soldering iron to that spot, careful not to touch the wood. Works great!
Fantistic !
Thank you, every single clip has a ton of lessons.

A lot of Youtubers could learn to do better videos by paying attention to how you make yours to the point, super useful, and have a sense of humor… but no matter how much they try, they’ll still fall short without the hair and ‘stache.
That’s so cool 😎. Thanks!!!
Just the first 18 seconds wou.d have been a great video 😅😅
Just found your channel. Love your style! Subscribed.
You can just finish off the circle with the router table too if you are not confident with turning the workpiece on the table saw.
Excelente propuesta
Cool
I’m a FAN! You are a master craftsman!!
Very fine and practical idea! Subscribed! Greetings from Germany
thats awesome
Ok, and now i’m going to build another shop to storage all my jigs 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄
ok – today, and some other days, this is my favorite channel –
Great video. Was trying to figure out a way to straighten out edges for joining wood panels. Saw some other videos on how to make a table saw sled and then came across your version which seem easier to use and build. A jointer jig that did not require another sled and rails! Already had a tall fence for my table saw, so I figured I’d try your table saw fence idea. I built a horizontal fence for my table saw that works great! Thank you for another great work shop tip.
You do have to spend some time setting the saw up… blade, fence, etc. But once done, the saw is great. Fairly compact which is Nice https://www.youtube.com/post/UgkxXh-4_3-ZT1fFWP91ZV7iVqzElr0lEb-a I did get an Incra Miter Gauge which takes some setup as well. The stock miter gauge can be adjusted in the miter slot with a little painter’s tape… this tightens up the side to side play a lot.
I just downloaded your plans; they’re excellent. And, it was generous of you to include all three for that increasingly low price. Your stuff really is much better thought out than others on YouTube…really.
Just outstanding 👏 👌
First: that’s bloody awesome!
Second: can you show it again using ShopSmith?
You are a wealth of knowledge
Fun and informative
The circle cuts seems super dangerous to me. If there’s any friction between the horizontal fence and the template circle, it seems like it would be very hard to keep from twisting the entire thing enough to get kick back. I can very easily see the blade spinning that circle around and dragging your fingers right into the blade. Not to mention the lack of a riving knife / splitter? Yikes!
Dagnabbit, what a great channel! This almost turns your tablesaw into a router table.
This is fantastic! What great ideas! I just found your channel and it is awesome!
New woodworker here. Interesting fence, but I’m understandably curious – wouldn’t you be better served using a taper jig instead of these fences?
I could sit and watch this guy all day, in fact I very nearly have, I started watching 1 video, then another and another … and another … 4 hours later I’m still watching! Nick you were born to teach, I love the way you share your years of woodworking knowledge, with just the right amount of humour thrown in. Makes me wish I had paid more attention to my dad when he was alive, he was also a life long joiner, but sadly I didn’t take up woodworking till after his death.
I’ve had to watch this video many times because that pendulum in the background keeps making me blackout. Turns out it’s a good video.
I could see that Circle cutting operation being sped up by using a dado stack to enlarge the "blade width" Maybe not a full stack but just a few.
I like your video 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Good information. 👍🙂Thank you for sharing. Have a great day and stay safe.
I really enjoy this dude and his sense of humour xD
This is my new favorite woodworking channel. Great content and style.
Thank you so much for all the demonstrations, I have these thin, un-square hardwood strip cutoffs I’d love to repurpose but I don’t have a joiner, planer or disc sander nor do I have a decent hand plane yet because that was my first thought. Anyways as long as I use this and careful support the thin strips I can cut off the wonky edges and finally use them 👍🏽
Nick! You never cease to amaze! Cheers
That’s a very useful fence. I’ll need to make one for myself. It is when you come across unique situations that this fence will come in handy.
AAH LAV U!!!!
Great video. Would you be able to do a video on the cabinet you built for you table saw? Something that explains construction method, joinery, dust collection, storage, etc
my dude that iron and paper towel trick was insanity
Yup, you are really good.
Thank you

This man must have graduated college with a masters in “Jiganometry”.
Wow really enjoyed watching something I can do and use. U dun Good!
I’ve watched hundred if not thousands of videos produced by talented woodworkers. I thought I had seen it all, you have opened my eyes to new possibilities!
doc. from Chip and Dale?🤯
Thanks much the informative video! For some reason your channel has never popped up in my Youtube woodworking feed (and I look at at a lot of these types of videos). Keep up the good work.
Glad I came across this. I have only one use for this style of fence but it will allow me to produce a large quantity of a very complicated shape for one of the cutting boards I make!
This just blew my mind.
Can I use this to join pallet wood which is usually not flat on any side?
This is such a useful fence! I can’t wait to build and use it! Thank you for this excellent video.
