    Thanks for sharing this C-Bag. Nice setup for the jigsaw and particularly like your scissor bench set up. The clamps are a great Idea...seen them b4 will pick up some next run. The HFT deadman foot switch is a good precaution for sure.

    One thing I've noticed about these type builds is that swarf will drop into the head of the saw. They are really made to use in the upright for control and that reason I think. It occurred to me after seeing yours that if your turned the blade 180º it would give you a flat surface to feed from and tend to keep the swarf out of the head?? I know all blades/saws wouldn't work because of the back roller and blade style...but a thought from the peanut gallery. Might also use a piece of thin sheet metal (or some acrylic) to make a shroud of some type.

    Nice, simple build! ~PJ
