The jig worked well for the tapering task. Why build another when you have something that can be adapted, right?!! You can see the Bosch jigsaw that I have in the picture. I use the Bosch Progressor Blades for almost all of my woodworking tasks with that saw. As far as the pictures on the site, I assume you are referring to the shaded box that appears when you click a picture for a larger view. That is a plugin for Wordpress. There are many of them out there and they are usually named with "Lightbox" in the name somewhere. Actually I think that there are a few out there that have some nicer features than the one I am using. Shannon,

Nice job on repurposing the old jointing jig. Used as a tapering jig it reminds of me of the one David Marks used on Woodworks. I am about to start a new project and think I will use your jigsaw trick to rough size my 8/4 stock. I have a similar Bosch jigsaw but I am curious as to what blades you use to cut 8/4 stock. The ones I have are not long enough. Finally, I really love your site theme especially the way the pictures are handled. Is this built into the theme or did you do that another way? Shannon Mark,
