Last night the cheap aluminum taper jig that I bought at one of those bargain tool sales that you vow to never go to scratched my new saw! It's not a bad scratch, but I promised myself to never let that jig touch my saw again! Tonight I used some scrap rock maple and the parts off the aluminum cheapie jig to make a new taper jig, and I'm glad I did! Many WW'ers have told me to make my own jigs whenever I need one, and now I can see why. It was fun, quick, and it's exactly the way I wanted it. My son helped me, and now we can cut the tapered legs for a little cherry/maple hall table we're making. Here's what it looks like.
