Morning all; managed to set the public-facing video to go live at midnight instead of midday, so I'm popping this one out early too! Enjoy!
In this video it’s my pleasure to introduce the next generation of the 10MW Loose Tenon Jig, the LTJ30
If you don’t know the back story I did a video about a DIY loose tenon jig a couple of years ago, it took about six months to wrestle a flat-pack cnc version of that jig into production and a second larger or Plus version of that jig followed about a year after that.
This new version combines the simple functionality of the original jig together with the shelf-pin goodness of the Plus jig, but in a new material and using a more readily available 30mm guide bush, hence the new name - the LTJ30.
Most of the first run has already sold but you can preorder at 10minute.shop, or on the ‘merchant shelf’ directly below the video.
Thank you!
The LTJ30 looks to be a great jig Peter and so well thought out and presented. Nice one.😎
For a couple of years I've seen many, many people on YouTube talking/speculating about what the cheap alternative to the Domino is or could be. After watching this video, the answer is very simple: The LTJ30! Nothing else I've seen comes close to a viable Domino alternative (certainly not those wonky Chinese router jig things...) You've thought of pretty much everything the Domino does and put that functionality into a simple, easy to use jig, including locating pins.
Peter, you mentioned in a comment that the LTJ could be used for dowels or peanuts as well. Could you make a quick demo? :)
The new jig looks great Peter and somehow, it looks a little bit more professional in the white melamine coated finsa.
It's all come a very long way since you took up Gordon's idea and turned it into a set of plans which I bought and subsequently made.
Eventually, I bought the first CNC made jig and use it often for all sorts of tasks.
In particular, for edge jointing with the wiggle room from the different sized mortices making things so much easier than dowels.
I often wonder if Gordon has any involvement these days with the ongoing development or if he's happy for you just to get on with your own development of it 😁.
I'm not sure…
