    Out of the 40+ woodworking channels I follow on RUclips, I just wanted to say that I find you to be the most creative, most curious, and most genuinely excited when things come together. Also your teaching method is so approachable that it makes the viewer try these things and not get discouraged by complexity. Thank you so much for the content!

      ​@@3x3CustomTamar One of your earlier 3-way joint vids inspired me to use 3-way joints in the coffee and end tables I made, and it was extra fun to build with all the angles! So I'm interested to see what kind of funkiness you come up with when you apply it a full project. Have at it!

      You could also do it in 3D by cutting the joinery first like the video did then on angles. It would be tough to layout though. Perhaps cutting the angled parts using a cnc, or routing the near and far depths then planing between the two.

    Very nice work and thanks for the informative video! Say, at around 7:00, you clamp down the pieces for every cut in between the bordercuts. For me, a tablesaw-inexperienced woodworking beginner, it seems a little unnecessary as I don‘t see a potential danger here with the sliding table by just gripping the piece with your hands on the ends of the piece. Would very much appreciate your opinion. Have a nice weekend and stay safe and healthy!

    I'd say this is a perfect candidate for a 3-leg circular glass top coffee table. The joint would be right in the center! And if you want to do a lot of these make some matching end tables too. 😁 Or if you want to do an absurd amount you can make a hexagon with one of these joints at each angle in the hexagon with a leg coming off each one.

    Hey Tamar, great video! Easy question from right out of the gate on your video. When pushing wood through the table saw how do you keep the wood flush against the fence? I find at time I have to use 2 push sticks, one to push to the blade and one after the blade to push to the fence. Maybe it's just me.
    I think the pattern is cool as are the end grains. I could see several of those making up a pattern for a table top (like a basket weave) filled with acrylic so you can see all the sides of all the joints .

      I just keep the pressure in 2 directions. Forwards and towards the fence. If you use one push stick you can keep it close to the blade than the fence even though that doesn’t seem safe. It is safer Bc the force it pushing away from the blade the closer to the blade you are.

    Even though it was just a test joint, it's a great looking piece unto itself. I would probably stick a clock movement in there and hang it on a wall just to show it off!

    Hi - Beautiful work :) !! I'm trying something that would / could use a 3 way bridle joint, but it's a NON - equilateral triangle. Wondering if you have tried this, or is it physically impossible because of the action of them sliding together in unison .... ??
