Steve Maskery was born with sawdust in his blood. His father was a cabinet-maker and his grandfather a pattern-maker. Steve is well-known to readers of British Woodworking Magazine for his ingenious woodworking jigs and gadgets, and the fine furniture he creates using them. Now you can make and use the same jigs, as Steve takes you, step-by-step, through the process of building and using them, in this series of DVDs. Each jig is explained clearly, including possible pitfalls and key points to note for successful implementation. The DVDs also contain FREE drawings in PDF format which you can print out and take into the workshop with you.

There are jigs for marking and setting out, sawing, routing, cutting tenons of all kinds, and a most useful and versatile mortising jig, plus lots of tips, ideas and gadgets along the way. All are guaranteed to make your woodwork easier, more accurate, faster and SAFER. None are difficult to make and if you follow Steve's excellent instructions, they will give faithful service for very many years.

New for 2009 is Workshop Essentials 3, The Ultimate Tablesaw Tenon Jig.
This is undoubtedly the best tablesaw tenon jig in the world, bar none, and I include in that commercially-made cast iron ones. Does that sound like a bold claim? Well, someone has to have the best and it may as well be me! This jig is accurate, fast, robust and finely adjustable. You can cut the challenging Twin Mortice & Tenon joint just as easily as a standard tenon and you know it will be right first time every time. Check out the video trailer on YouTube.

Some of the jigs use sliding nuts, Bristol levers and self-adhesive tape measures, all of which you can find here, too.
