I am looking for a jig to make very repeatable and adjustable angle staves on my tablesaw. Would like to see some samples. Anyone want to show theirs off?? Thanks in advance. Needs to be a safe method and al;so be able to do thin staves as well.

I used to make "conga" drums. They weren't really congas but that should suffice to imagine what they were generally.

I used a simple jig which was a piece of ply with a slotted fence on top to adjust the taper angle. I used little hold-down clamps. These days the digital things will make setting the angles a breeze. I had to use a thing with a dial indicator to get repeatability.

Sorry, no pics. It was trashed a long time ago.
