Thanks for the sentiment - I appreciate it!

One big bonus of making one of these jigsaw tables is that when you turn the saw upside down, and you cut your wood with the marking on the topside the tear out is on the bottom, which doesn't happen if you use the jigsaw the "normal" way up. I never seen anyone comment on this advantage of a jigsaw table. Cleaner cuts straight away.

Free hand jigsaws are fine if you don't feed them in to fast and hard to a work peace, you can getaway with better results inverting them into a table saw though!

I am so glad I watched this. I never even thought about making internal cuts! I was just planning to make a bandsaw substitute but this is so much better.

Cool idea. A tip for you. When threading wood try soaking the threads in the wood with thin viscosity super glue. 2 - 3 applications. Then chase the threads again with the tap after the glue is thoroughly dry. Your threads will be much stronger!

Thank you, and thanks for the tip! I think somebody mentioned that before (it might have been you), but I've yet to try it. Maybe I'll do a test where I see how much force it adds to the force required to break the threads. If I do, I'll be sure to post a video!

Dang that's a good idea.

When you're going to shorten any bolt, always thread a nut onto it below where you're going to cut. When you have removed the sharp edges the nut will clean out the thread as you unscrew it from the bolt.

Thank you very much, and good luck in your search for a bandsaw!

I made it and, as per my previous comment, I turned the blade 90 degrees so that the arm didn't get in the way of a long cut. It works brilliantly. Thank you for the design. I had to make some minor alterations, like making the it wider to fit the jigsaw now that it has been turned. Also, when fitting the bolt for the bearing at the new angle which went down the arm instead of across it, I found that if the hole is cut 1 size smaller, the bolt self tapped, so no need for the nut the other end. Cant wait to try the next one......

It sounds awesome! Thanks for sharing your experience!

Great idea! I made one in an afternoon, with some simple modifications, using the odd offcuts I had lying around. As my jigsaw only permitted around 3 cm of blade through the base, I had to mount the arm a little lower, despite this, I put the blade guides below the arm, as I only intend to use it for cutting out precise shapes in fairly thin board. Works like a dream! Thanks again.

I may add that I also used a "t-nut" - like the fixing found inside a bed divan - instead of threading the wood , along with a spare bedhead fixing bolt, so a ready-made and effective adjustment handle.

Nice work, Tommy! Looks like another project for me👍🏼 Thanks for your efforts. I had a scroll saw but didn't find it that useful so returned it for a bandsaw, which gets a hammering.This will be a very adequate replacement. I have just finished a disc sander based on yours. All worked very well and it has repurposed a Makita corded drill that has gathered dust for years. Cheers from Western Australia.

Pretty clever idea. You guys who come up with these jigs never cease to amaze me. Everyone is telling me the most important tool in the shop besides a table saw is a band saw. Well, problem solved (except for those tall re-saw jobs which I will probably never do anyway). Thanks so much for inspiring me and potentially saving me hundreds of dollars.

@OneMinuteWorkbench

It's not a true replacement for a bandsaw, but it will certainly fill in for one. The major benefit of this is that you can make internal cuts, and the major benefit of a bandsaw is the blade only traveling downward. This tends to make the piece jump, so you need to hold it more firmly than you would a bandsaw. Again, it's certainly nice to have as a fill in, and it takes up a lot less room. Either way, I'm glad you dig it. Thanks for letting me know!

The jigsaw table is a really a really neat build and you have a lot of excellent ideas. Thanks for sharing this.

Nice to see the guide arm is doubled up for strength and this removers vibration + adds stability, excellent build, for me I made very similar but in a free standing box frame so I can use on site for portability purposes. A plugin NVR can be used if you intend to use the jigsaw freehand!

Being stuck in the Corona Virus shutdown leaves plenty of time for home “workshop” tasks. Thanks again for this video.

Great idea well executed. I think I'd like to have a cover on the end of the blade support arm to cover where the end of the blade where it would stab you if you got any flesh near it. I was surprised that you didn't mount the switch flush with the top instead of on the surface. There are narrower jigsaw blades that would be helpful for tighter turning radius.

@1stinlastout165

Your hands are usually well below the rising blade for you to be stabbed from it, I guess if you feel you need that extra safety then go for it, but make it long enough to not hit the blade once you make adjustments when lowering!

This is pretty awesome stuff. I need one of these and my first attempt at this was JANKY at best. I like this design and will likely tweak it a bit for my use case. Good work!

Thanks for directing me to a video where you use threaded wood holes and metal bolts! Definitely something to add to the tool bag, ;-) As for this jig saw table, pretty neat. I don't believe I've seen this before. A couple random notes: you could add washers under the blade guide screws for more even clamping force and reduced likelihood of other problems. Some paste wax on your blade and the blade guides may help things run more smoothly, unless you happen to be able to get some lignum vitae which would be awesome for this application. Alternatively some hdpe or UHMW pe would work well too. You mention that it's pretty good at tight turns but your using a fairly wide blade with a large tooth pattern, a more narrow blade with more teeth meant for fine cutting should get you as tight a turn as you could hope for, I'd imagine. Fantastic tool and a great way to repurpose a "broken" jigsaw.

You basically made an upside down (?) scroll saw. Great tool and video. I like that you show HOW you work and your creative process along the way ... really helps newer woodworkers. We almost don't need the plans ... yet u include them as well! Also, you get right to it ... no BS about your dog or what you did last weekend! Two small suggestions: if u use the wooden guides with the screws use washers and maybe even countersink first. OR make the guides out of UHMW plastic (better option I think). Btw, if any newbie is thinking of just clamping his jigsaw upside-down into vise ... DON"T! It's okay for cutting thin stock (thin long dowel stock or thin square stock) but anything else is dangerous. I know because I "jackassedly" said "why not just strap the old jigsaw into the vise" etc. That's why I watch videos ... esp when making homemade tools.

There's little doubt that this type of saw can solve many problems. A scroll saw just is not generally intense enough for thicker woods.

Thanks for letting me know you enjoyed the project! And yes, I do keep ALL my scraps, and therefore have a nice collection. My girlfriend might argue that I have TOO NICE of a collection...or at least too large of one - lol 🤣 Plus, I've built a lot of tools from Baltic Birch plywood over the last year, so I've been accumulating those high quality scraps this whole time. I've also learned that when I go shopping for electrical switches, boxes, bolts, nuts, etc., to just buy extras of everything. Those plastic boxes and light switches are cheap (usually about $1 or less), so I just buy handfuls of them - saving a trip to the store is worth having extra hardware on hand. Actually though, I think the plywood used for this job was only about 40" x 26" worth. So if you were to build it from scratch, you'd need about $10 worth of plywood, $2-3 in electrical, $2 in hardware, and a few cents worth of hardwood. Let's say about $15 total. Anyway, thanks again! Now you gotta start working on building up your scrap box 😉
