You'll note that "HE" is a professional, not a hobbyist like the rest of us.
And "HE" makes a living building furniture, where "HE" can pass on the cost
of "HIS" purchased jigs or feather boards by incorporating them into "HIS"
furniture. Time is money to him, not to us hobbyists. Personally, "I" get a
great deal of satisfaction out of my woodworking making both the item and
the necessary jigs. But then I also enjoy using hand planes and antique
tools like my 1941 Craftsman 24" scroll saw.

Thanks for your 2-cents, but "I" was the one inquiring as to the DIY
magnetic featherboard and "I" do have the time and desire to build my own.
I bet I can make one that would do the job for 1/3 the price. Just
looking to see if anyone else has tried.

You never made your own jig for woodworking? Do you make your own push
sticks or do you buy those as well?
Thanks

I am a big fan of the Grip-tite...we use them on the tablesaw and on
the jointer as well ....well worth every penny..as far as making a set
myself ..I am a woodworker, not a jig and machine maker...I build
furniture, I do not have the time or desire to build my own feather
boards when I can buy a superior product...my time is worth more than
that
good luck,
