Nobody explain as much as you do. Are an instructor? Teacher? Communicator? Wao! Thank you!

Nice jig! Good work. Thanks for sharing.

I knew I wasn’t the first one who thought about this!

Very well done. One problem I had. I am using Mahogany to make the legs. It is not a true "hardwood" in my experience, and the T Nuts were slipping out, and making a grove. So I went out and bought some hanger bolts and drilled them into the leg. So far I think it will work. Thanks Alfab

Hahaha! Mr. Bill. Nobody ever mentions him but I grew up with him in my childhood. Thank you for another video.

i SAW what you did there

I bought your sketchup plans (because you deserve the support) and will build this jig today. One thing I was a bit disappointed with: It would be really helpful to have the dimensions of all the pieces on the Sketchup. That would have saved me the time it took to go through your video, stopping and starting as I copied dimensions to the sketchup drawing. I'll be using this jig mostly to make dowel blanks for my lathe, which will make getting to round a lot quicker. I will modify the jig to match my lathe bed, which is longer for making things like walking sticks. Hopefully there won't be too much flex and chatter if I make a longer dowel. Thanks for this. I have high expectations. Particularly impressed with the finish you got right out of the jig, something I couldn't achieve with my other dowel jig for the table saw, which came close to being a total failure.

Okay, that was just downright impressive. Kudos!

Great job as usual! I love this declension of a tablesaw tapering jig! I'm definitely going to build it your way, as I need one. Thanks for sharing!

Wow! Such an awesome jig. Definitely gonna build me one of these.

Wonderful! And thank you for narrating to make it easy to follow.

Ingenious and fantastic result!

GREAT idea and execution! Thank you!

Brilliant idea!

I was just thinking about how I was going to go about making my dad a personalized pool cue, and then I looked through your old videos and found this. Thank you!

Love it, thanks! I'm actually going to be building a desk soon and have been thinking through a design for a jig like this.

Absolutely brilliant,been looking for something like this for ages. Well done.

Yes, on narration GREAT JOB!!!

Well done. I have a small lathe but could still see making this jig as well.

Amazing video Michael! Nice job!

Awesome narration, great jig, great video. Thx!

Amazing. Never would have thought of this.

Well done. As a retired Industrial Engineer where I developed assembly fixtures for manufacturing this is very impressive

Smart mate,really smart. Will definitely be trying this

Thanks for sharing this idea!! I made one for myself for a hallway table!!

Great jig. I've seen many versions but this one appears to work best.

Sweet! This is just what I needed, bought the plans, looking forward to "turning" my first legs.

Great build Bud👍

This is PHENOMENAL!!! It's amazing just how expensive buying legs like those that you made is. To see how easy it is to "turn" your own despite not having a lathe is awesome! Thanks so much for sharing this incredibly useful jig.

Recently started listening to his videos but "persuader" was awesome

Really very impressive. Very good idea.

Well thought and executed.

Nice work and thank you for the edutainment. Stay awesome.

Dang, that's brilliant! Honestly, I'm stunned that actually works. Wow.

Excellent Michael, did a similar thing a while back but not with drill drive so will revisit with that thanks a lot

So awesome. Arguably faster than a lathe, too.

This is great! I just got a lathe and this is quicker and more accurate if you want a straight taper. Gold star

Lot of work great job you are awesome

I echo Alan's comment, not only impressive but relatively simple.

Man, I have always wanted to try this! Once the jig is set-up, it seems so quick and easy. Awesome job, man!

Brilliant idea, superb execution and a nicely paced video with great audio. Many congratulations. Consider a job in the media.

I'm a bit lathe to the party, but upon seeing this jig, I instantly thought that the spinning motion could be automated with a stepper motor. The stepper motor would probably need a box, but it should be possible to set up and thus make it at tad bit safer (by not having to both push the jig safely through a running, high speed blade, but also make sure to keep a drill level while doing so). The reason for choosing a stepper motor over a normal motor, would be adjustable speed. I've definitely saved this for later. And subbed too. There's some impressive content on your channel here that I wish to try out in the future

What? Is this the Izzy Alm channel? 😃👍👍👍

Great video, in more ways than one. The time n material used to make round legs is so much cheaper than a lathe. Plus you could makethe jig longer, even square up the tops. Possibility r enendless.Thanks so much for sharing.

great idea.

Nice simple design. I like that it also doubles to trim down to octagonal. Unfortunately I have an antique table saw with a smaller 8" blade, and not sure it will work with the "side cut" like that. I'll have to investigate.

Your work has given me some great ideas for my own shop! I really appreciate you taking the time to share these. I made your table saw leg turning jig and after A couple hours of use I modified it. It is now continuously adjustable. at both ends.

i used this technique last year on a client job....it was too difficult for me to get an evenly turned leg with lathe so i made a super crappy jig like this and it was so dang awesome. Your jig looks way better though, haha! i may have to rebuild mine 👍🏻

Super informative thanks

Dude this is great!

That's just cool, thanks.

Just made my own version of this, it works perfectly. One note, double check the taper degrees. I used a digital protractor to scribe 1, 2, 3 and 4 degree lines on the sled. I did a test cut at 1 degree and used math to calculate the taper. The actual taper was almost exactly 2 degrees. I had marked a 1 degree line then removed material on both sides of the workpiece, which created a 2 degree taper. Math!

wonderfull, amazing, verry clever 🙌👏👍 thanks a lot, for sure i'll try this succes

Great vid! A suggestion, you could use a short piece of “T” track under the swing end to change the angle. Just a thought.

@sigi9669

I was just thinking that. Also, would it not make sense to do the same thing on the tail end to be able to do different diameter legs altogether? This would introduce the possibility of accidentally setting the taper in reverse but I don't see a danger in that. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
