Like the "tape tip". 40+ years and I'm still learning from others in the trades. You have no idea of the hours of math I've used and still on occasion come up 1/2 inch short! Just enough so the trim won't cover. Common sense solutions to complex problems make for a fulfilling finish. Keep 'em coming and we'll keep watching.

Timer saver: make your first cut. See where it hits the fence. Make a mark 1/2" on your fence from the overcut on the fence. Then slide the jig you made to line up the first cut with the 1/2" mark. Repeat until you're done. Now you don't have to mark a zillion 1/2" marks - just one.

Cool jig. I smell a patent. Why not just make a mark on the Top guide of your jig and offset the fence of the jig by a 1/2”. This way after your first Kerf cut, you just line up the mark on the top jig guide with the kerf you just cut. Just a thought.

If you added a mark 1/2” over from your cut mark on the white jig you wouldn’t have to mark the whole board out. You can just keep moving the jig over using the last cut as reference. Same way a lot of people do finger joints or box joints

hey man, I've got a lot of tips from you so I'd like to share one. Laying out each kerf could be a huge waste of time if you have a lot to do. Instead, make a line or kerf 1/2" away from the kerf that is already on your jig. When you finish one kerf, slide the jig until the line/kerf you made lines up with your last cut. perfect spacing and no layout. Make sense?

Watched this video when I was new. Today (4/29/2022) I decided to make one 106” x 16” Cut it on my sliding miter saw, having to end for end it because it couldn’t reach the last 3 inches. My depth gauge kept coming unlocked, and consequently caused a couple of complete cut throughs. Tried hanging it myself, dropped it, and broke it in two pieces. 🤬 Now I’m going to do it the way you did, which I should’ve done from the start, wasting material and at least 2 hours.
