  • The Fumbly Workshop

    Posted Sunday, April 5, 2026 at 06:37 AM  in Woodworking

  • Biscuit Joiner Jig

    Posted Wednesday, February 4, 2026 at 08:26 PM  in Woodworking

    AI Generated   I recently purchased a new table saw and decided to create a plywood cover for it. To ensure a secure assembly, I used biscuits to connect the legs to the top. Since working with a large piece of plywood posed challenges, I designed a 3D printed jig to help with cutting biscuit slots accurately. The jig has clamping pads and a guide for alignment, making the process easier and more reliable. Overall, the jig provided a solid solution for cutting biscuit slots in the plywood cover for my table saw.
