A simple circular saw guide can make woodworking much easier. But what happens when you keep improving the design?
In this video, I build several DIY circular saw jigs, discover their problems, and improve them step by step.
Starting with a simple straight-cutting guide, I develop more advanced designs with adjustable angles, replaceable cutting edges, and a sliding guide rail.
The final jig makes it easy to cut wood accurately, handle different material thicknesses, and make repeated cuts efficiently.
And surprisingly, it can even be used with a router!
I also share some practical workshop tips, design mistakes, and improvements I’ve learned along the way.
I hope these ideas inspire your next woodworking project!

Thank you for publishing this video. It's very informative. I will be making new cabinets soon. I didn't want to go out and spend a lot of money for certain type of tools just to get started. I think that by using some of your tools I will be able to save me a large amount of money. I am truly impressed especially with the last jig that you made.
Great construction and very thoughtful… especially the height adjustment. Love it.
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Great job, thank you so much for sharing. It's now on my To Do list here in eastern Canada, the country with Lake Ontario.
One way to put it, you are an artisan with the finest work on precisions and remodeling. Thank you very much for sharing such wonderful work.
Hi, over the years I have become an old chap with nearly 50 years of experience in woodworking as a hobby. But what I have found here on your channel, this is mastery of it's finest.
Your jig that emulates the best features of a table saw is very well thought out and I really appreciate that you’ve built in the inevitable wear and tear replacement factor. As it was coming together I thought it was very similar to the jig I made to use my cordless planer as a bench planer and jointer but of course it wasn’t but the use of aluminum tracks is my favored method of jig making as well, since it’s durable and easy to work with.
I try to build in adjustability to my jigs so they can be used for multiple tools and blade sizes within the tools so I appreciate your methodology behind your jigs as well. It’s a matter of efficiency as well and keeps my shop area from being overrun with too many separate jigs and apparatus. Edit: and at the end here I see you were planning on making this jig adaptable for your router as well 😂. I was thinking same.
This is a great compilation video of several jigs and guides, and troubleshooting issues along with the methodology behind them. The kerf problem is one I recently encountered in a project where I’m cutting different materials and switching out the blades, and your solution with rubber edges is an easy fix I intend to use on my own circular saw jig. Thank you for the suggestion and inspiration 😊.
Awesome video.
I prefer silent video
I wish I found your channel sooner.
I never heard of low friction tape until this video.
You are absolutely unique and working perfectly!!
Thank you for Sharing.
Chears from Germany!
я тащусь этого человека 😊 ты как всегда великолепен 🎉🎉 с нетерпением жду нового приспособления
👌Excelente, excelente… me ayudaste a tomar la decisión de dejar de usar la sierra de mesa…GRACIAS
Excellent, excellent… you helped me make the decision to stop using the table saw… THANK YOU
Très intéressant ; dommage pour le son parfois défectueux
Normalde emekli bir vatandaşım- lakin bu ustanın çırağı olmak isterim. İftiharla..
Bravo. Harika bir titizlik, hassasiyet, iş sevgisi, ciddiyet, iş hakimiyeti – hepsi 10 üzerinden on puan 🙂
The circular saw guide with the aluminum strip and the mating fixture for the saw is a winner for me.🙂🙂
Even the french system to hang it on the wall is amazing! 👋👋👋
Very nice jig, especially for the router. Maybe you could ad sometheing to make it easy to route/cut angles.
I really like your videos, so I actually watched until the end, but I normally when I hear "watch untill the end"I click it away imediatly.
Лучше использовать керосин , а не спирт .
Can t stop recommending this.
What type of plywood is that? I'm new to the game.
I'd like to make a request for you to build a more simplistic jig that allows you to use an Electric Hand Planer to be used as a full sized planer (Back and forth until you've reached desired Width/Height.
At 3:14, that jig is 100% sufficient for 99% of anything you need to do with a hand circular saw. Any adjustments can be made with a hand or power plane.
As a Cabinetmaker of 52 years. I have never cut myself with a Table Saw.
Just as a suggestion.. for the first straight edge jig, maybe cut one side to the length of the wide side of your saw foot and the other side to the shorter one. Then you can use the same straight edge to cut in either direction.
