7 Must-Have Shop Jigs

After twenty years of making literally hundreds of jigs in our shop, we’ve discovered that most woodworking projects can be completed surprisingly well with only a small collection of basic jigs—jigs that no shop should be without.

In our 7 Must-Have Shop Jigs article, we’ll show you step-by-step how to build each jig, and then share our secrets for making them transform your everyday power tools into real performers.

Includes easy-to-build plans for the following shop accessories:

  • Plywood edge guide
  • Miter gauge fence
  • Crosscut sled
  • All-purpose push block
  • Table saw auxiliary fence
  • Band saw pivot block
  • Drill press table
