I’m 60 newly retired and new to woodworking. I have realized that jigs will be my best friends for this new endeavor. You explain the making and use of these jigs easy to understand. My body and wife thank you. 😊

@abdullahali5039 Год назад

Hello, my name is Abdullah from the State of Kuwait, and I am a carpentry enthusiast, not a professional. I watched the video and liked the method, and it was very excellent. I also liked the simple and understandable explanation. Thank you and I wish you safety and security my regards

@paulnye1899 Год назад

Your video is exactly what a video should be. Very straight to the point, simple and no silly, stupid jokes. Keep the videos coming. EXCELLENT!

@jackeroo75 Месяц назад

I. don't mind silly jokes.

@filipedrumond Год назад

You’re an amazing communicator, carpenter, videographer. It’s all clear, clean and inspiring.

@darrelldempsey2137 8 месяцев назад

I truly agree, again thank ya most kindly for your time n effort to make these videos

@clutteredchicagogarage2720 Год назад

That adjustable dado jig is awesome! I've never seen anyone make a dado jig with this design. I think woodworkers are used to adjustable jigs that use T-track, keyhole slots, or dovetail slots of some sort to create parallel adjustable rails. Your use of pivot points to create an adjustable-width slot with parallel edges is a less common technique, but it's perfect for this particular application. I also like your thin-strip jig! It feels both safer and also easier to use than some other methods for cutting thin strips.

@DIYMontreal Год назад

Thanks! It feels awesome to be able to improve on designs you've seen and actually have it work out ;)

@jimhammell187 Год назад

It's even easier to buy the undersize router bits made for plywood

@peterfitzpatrick7032 Год назад

@@jimhammell187 .... very constructive comment there, Jimbo...

@jacklassley8002 Год назад

Impressive video. I use the thin strip jig at a slight angle from 0” thick to 1/2” like a taper jig an inch and a half tall, and make killer shims out of 2x4 and 2x6 drops.

@granthoglund7012 Год назад

Very easy to follow and useful jigs AND finally, a woodworker who understands that viewers don't want to hear the high pitched whine of the saw every time time you make a cut. Thank you for that small but appreciated detail.

@antonydefato Год назад

Watch these kinds of videos often. Ho Hum. They're good, useful, but a lot of the same kinds of jigs. So I'm watching... Oh that's a nice safety addition on the thin rip jig, OK. Oh, a dado jig, seen this, nothing new. Yeah, yeah, now add some slots so it can adjust to the different thicknesses... wait what is she doing, you can't screw it together yet, where are the slots, you NEED SLOTS!!! Then BAM!, you offset them and slide them together.........THAT"S GENIUS!!!!! This woman's a genius! I think her name is Marie. Marie, you're a genius.

@user-fy4yd9tz4w Месяц назад

I just subscribed based on this one video. Some of the best ideas I’ve seen yet. Looking forward to seeing more. Thank you I also wanted to share something I accidentally realized the other day. On occasion we have to pick up a bunch of nuts and bolts or other pieces of metal. A tedious task at best. Take a magnetic metal dish that people use to hold nuts and bolts while working on a project. Separate the dish from the magnet. Put the dish over the pieces of metal you want to pick up. Place the magnet over the dish and pick up the pieces. Just separate the dish from the magnet and the metal will fall off into your receptacle.

@thomlipiczky9021 Год назад

The thin strip jig was brilliant. I've been a woodworker for 40 years, and that was the best version I've seen. And your take on the adjustable dado jig was also great. Merci!

@NextLevelCarpentry 5 месяцев назад

Sounds like a true 'next level' project... kudos for working to do it right! And thank you for letting me know with a follow up message.

@DawidhabdArup_N7 Год назад

Thank you for the tips. As being disabled, I find very worried at times using Power Tools. I am trying out a few Hacks/Tips from others but some of yours are far easier to make and safer to operate. My wife always worries when I use power tools e.g. Table Saw, Circular Saw, Router, etc., so finding the right jig that I can handle without aggravating my pain and/or to hurt myself. So, some of these ideas seems the dealbreaker for me to persuade her to let me use those tools without making her worry. I believe, Our Life is a Shared Experience. Remember, *_Life_* is *_Short_* so, *_Live Long_* and *_Prosper_* ... 🖖🖖🖖 Thank you again for the tips and support....

Very good and safe woodworker thumbs up Lady

@IsaacC20 11 месяцев назад

Brilliant! This is what highschool shop class should be about. Instead of saying it's too dangerous or risky, or have hours of safety videos, have students brainstorm ways to achieve cuts by designing jigs that mitigate risks, as DIYM designs have done!

@KSFWG Год назад

I want all of them! Thanks for the video!

Awesome! Enjoy

@upgraddeupgradde2364 24 дня назад

The dado jig & the one jig for cutting the thin strips on the table saw. Very cool. Thank you

@darleneredden3251 11 месяцев назад

As a 54 year old female who was raised old school, I have a seriously hard time laying out the kind of money that these people want for pre-manufactured jigs. I don't own a dado stack, and I absolutely love your dado jig! Okay I love all your jigs! I never subscribe and I did today!

@daveengstrom9250 Год назад

I like that dado jig.

@darrelldempsey2137 8 месяцев назад

I imagine you get many off the wall comments, but I just love to tease. I said drat she’s not teaching 5 jigs, there isn’t even any music! Ok. Pun over. I enjoy how your handy work is simple, easy to do, n your voice is so easy to understand. Thank ya most kindly for your time n making these videos. My favorite is the dado jig.

@rachelsutherland4487 8 месяцев назад

I am really enjoying your style here, an easy voice to listen to, and a concise teaching style letting me see the pitfalls you are avoiding as you go. Humble. I find American men's videos have a style I enjoy much less. So for perfection, can I also get your measurements in metric please? I can't add all those fractions (dyslexia) and millimetres are so simple for that. I was very pleased when the UK went metric in the 70s. School became possible at last. No idea what 23 30 seconds is, though I understand the principle as we have the same issues in metric - too big/too small, so your visuals with the gauge are very helpful. Thanks!

Sometimes I’m more impressed with the jigs wood and metal workers make l than the work that will be created with them. There’s a problem and you solve it with simplicity and accuracy/ precision

Hey Marie. Thanks for the videos. I only recently discovered your channel and subscribed. I appreciated your clear and simple explanations on building super practical jigs with suggestions for possible modifications. I find your videos to have high production value without appearing overly slick with unnecessary cutaways (pun intended). I plan to work my way through your other videos.

Awesome Dado Jig! I just stumbled across this video. I expected I wasn’t going to find anything new and JACKPOT! I don’t recall ever seeing a dado jig like this one before. Everything else has been tracks on both sides and don’t guarantee parallelism. FINALLY - one that does guarantee parallelism! Yay! I’m definitely going to build one ASAP. THANKS!!! And now I’ll also go checkout your other vids. Cheers!!!

The keyhole slot jig is my favorite. It will be great for making keyhole for half mortise lock mechanisms.

Built the jig today and ran a few trial runs, works great. Cut a 1/4" & 1/8" strips. Cutting all parts tomorrow and this will speed up the process, but most important Safety. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience. By the way, my family and I were in Montreal a few weeks ago. First time, beautiful city, used the Metro to get around. Regards Ernest
