Fast jigsaaw table build

Not sure I fully understand the purpose of that top cross piece. Seems a little unnecessary to me and has the potential of being unsafe by hiding the blade like that. Click on that link at the end...........I don't think so.
That piece holds blade stright 90 degrees

Yeah that top piece is clever because it provides a guide that keeps the end of the blade from wandering.
I agree it conceals the blade a bit, but the 20-minute version of this table might include a slightly fancier top guide that gives you a little better view. He is using a super-inexpensive saw, too. Better ones allow you to control not only the speed but the stroke. A slightly better jigsaw in that table would make a very handy tool for a weekend warrior.

And if one used bearings where blade moves, the wood would not damage too. I made this video to show super cheap and fast way to make this tool (if needed on jobsite) Have fun!

Is there a belief here that mounted under the table that saw is more accurate then hand held? It certainly will never be able to cut the tight radius of a scroller.
Swap that jigsaw out with a circular saw and you have what we used to call the "hillbilly TS" A lot of the we don't need no steenking guard, and to heck with a rip fence, I'll jesss hold it realll still guys thought them to be right smart 
Worst thing they can do is cook ya and eat ya
