I'm having an issue with jointing. I made this jointer jig for my table saw here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x3Nk057II4I .
I had a small square piece of wood that was roughly 6"x6" that I wanted to joint as it was just slightly off square. Using the jointer jig I ran the top edge and left edge through the saw. After I butted the top edge and left edge against my fence and ran the bottom edge and right edge through the saw. Unfortunately, it did not produce what I wanted. It was askew and not square. I did it again as I thought maybe I didn't have the jig tight against the fence. It came out more askew.
Thinking about it makes sense I suppose if I had clamped down the piece on the jig askew. However, I feel as if I'm missing something very simple using this jig. What is it that I'm doing wrong when jointing this piece to make square? My fence, blade, and jig are square. Thanks for any help.
