Simple Tapering Jig for the Table Saw

In this video I throw together a quick and simple tapering jig using some leftover scrap wood so that I could cut some tapers on some legs for a project that I've been working on (stay tuned for that video). In the video I show you how you can set up this jig for repeatable cuts at the table saw.

For these legs, I was only tapering them on two sides so this jig works really well for that. However, if you were planning to taper on all four sides then you might have to make some adjustments on the jig after you taper the first two sides. There are definitely more customizable types of tapering jigs that you can make but for those you have to invest a little more time into constructing them. For someone who doesn't do tapers a ton (me) this was a good solution because it required minimal time and materials and it got me back to working on my project.

I hope you guys find this video helpful. If so...let me know! :)
