This woodworking jig makes doing lay outs for halved joints, half lap joints, and intersecting frame joints so much faster and less error prone. Buckle up because in this Make Things Simplified video, I’ll explain why halved joints are so useful for shop projects, why traditional framing methods that rely on nails and fasteners are weaker, and how this simple halving jig helps transfer board widths and centerlines quickly without making mess ups.

If you’ve ever struggled with laying out lap joints on long frames, cabinet structures, grids, or intersecting boards, this jig can save a ton of time!

This video covers:
• halved joints
• half lap joints
• woodworking framing
• layout techniques
• table saw joinery
• woodworking jigs
• frame construction
• workshop projects
