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. 😊
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!
I. don't mind silly jokes.
You’re an amazing communicator, carpenter, videographer. It’s all clear, clean and inspiring.
I truly agree, again thank ya most kindly for your time n effort to make these videos
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
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!
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.
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.
The dado jig & the one jig for cutting the thin strips on the table saw. Very cool. Thank you
My hands and my family thank you for the thin strip jig. I’m going to make this as soon as I use my table saw next time!
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.
I am absolutely besoted with your simple but informative presentations. There are so many others but not one is at this level. Thank you indeed and keep them comming.
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.
Thanks! It feels awesome to be able to improve on designs you've seen and actually have it work out ;)
It's even easier to buy the undersize router bits made for plywood
@@jimhammell187 .... very constructive comment there, Jimbo...
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.
Wow. Great vid. Really like your no nonsense style.
The dado and keyhole jigs are coming to my shop.Great vid,and so nice to watch someone just get stuck in and make stuff without all the fluff and dramatics.Great channel
Thanks, appreciate it!
Awesome, simple explanations!!! Thanks for your advices!!!
Thank you well done ,will use for reference
You make a great tutor Marie. Thanks for the video
Thank you, appreciate it!
These jigs are great. Thanks so much for taking the time to make the video. I'm anxious to view your other videos
Thanks for the info! I like the simple and straight forward technique.
Thank you. Really helpful. I'll save and watch again when I'm stuck!
Exactly what I need. Thank you
Nice work simple to make and we'll explained for beginners like myself
Very nice jig!
Thank you. Practical advice.
The dado jig looks brilliant 🇨🇦
It turned out just like I hoped! Will be using it for sure :)
I really like all yor ideas.
Excellent, love the simple keyhole jig...
I loved all of them, specially the slotted bit jig!
I want all of them! Thanks for the video!
Awesome! Enjoy
That Adjustable Dado.....very helpful indeed.
Just came across your videos today for the first time and like another person pointed out, your videos are so user-friendly and accessible. Of the ones I have watched so far, I really enjoy how concise your instructions are and how you avoid wordiness and add just the right amount of humility with a wonderful down to earth attitude.
Just found you as well, and couldn’t agree with this viewer more. Great work! Subscribed.
Thank you! Appreciate the positive feedback and the kind words :)
thanks for your jigs and nice to discover your site.
California.
I spent most of today watching a list of random videos on assorted things to do in my workshop, and yours was the best! Every one of your jigs is now on my To-do List for making my tiny workshop work better. Thanks!
All those jig are simple thanks for sharing such a great idea 💡 😀 👍 👏
I like that dado jig.
I like all of them. I will be making some.
This was the best explanation and design video I have seen. Thank you
Well done, Marie. This is quite a comprehensive set of accessories to fill the needs for many common situations we find ourselves in as woodworkers.
Nice video as always.
Thank you!
Loved all the jig's
Great jig ideas. Liked the keyhole jig and the adjustable dado jig.
Glad you liked it!
These are all fantastic! Simple construction but very effective and safe. Thank you very much for sharing these! The thin strip jig is my favorite! 👍🏼
Love them all, favorite is the dado jig looks simple to make, seen tons on you tube, this is the one I’m making.. thanks
Love the dado jig and the thin strip jig. Need to make them soon!! I made one of the circular saw jigs in 2014. I wrote the date on it and still use it! Thanks for the great videos you put out!!
The keyhole slot jig is my favorite. It will be great for making keyhole for half mortise lock mechanisms.
Thanks for another super useful video, Marie. As others have pointed out, that dado jig is pure genius in its simplicity and versatility. I so appreciate the clarity and accessibility of your videos. You're a natural teacher.
Love the flathead screw reference! Drew would be proud.
These jigs are all great - will need to make some of them this winter.
This lady is a fantastic witch that makes woodworking miracles with speech. Special thanks for your jigs.
Really liked the Vertical Jig however I will be making them all Marie. 🥇🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
superb instruction and brilliant jig design.
Great jigs! The Vertical and keyhole jigs will be the first two I’ll build….Thanks!
I don't want you to stop the woodworking videos, but you need to instruct EVERYONE who aspires to be a teacher; clone yourself if that makes it easier or make a jig that does what you do! Excellent on many levels.
I always enjoy your videos. Very informative and easy to follow.
It is a pleasure viewing your channel.
Just found this channel, watched 'til the end, good safe jigs. Thank you!!
Wow! You’re a brilliant, clear and concise teacher! Thank you so much!!!
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.
I love your simple, practical, and useful jig ideas and plan to use them in my shop. 😅And your video editing is perfect. No annoying music or wasted talking. You just get to the point clearly and concisely. Much appreciated.
Never seen that adjustable dado jig, thank you for that!
You bet!
They are all great , the thin strip & dido jig will be on my list to do very soon. Thank you for these precious tips 🙏 A tres bientot !!
Love the thin rip jig! Can't wait to build one! Thanks.
I watch a lot of these jig videos & a lot are kinda hokey but yours are pretty smart. Nice job.
You are a Godsend. I am learning a great deal from you. I appreciate your attention to detail, and the way you inspire confidence while focusing on safety.
Very impressive. I’m 71 a self taught woodworker. Thank You for your clear explanation of everything you did. Liked the fact that you didn’t use background music. Your jigs and tips are fairly simple which makes them better for all levels of woodworkers. Your narrative was clear and straight to the point. 1st watch and I am subscribing. Greetings from Maine
220pm from Oklahoma thank you fantastic video.
I very much liked the jigs especially appreciate seeing how you use them. I saw your clump one over the corner of the bench which I wouldn’t have necessarily thought of but now I’ve seen it makes sense. Thanks for not just making them but demonstrating them.
I have been researching to start my own workshop and I have to say you are just amazing, every detail I see in your videos is new, safe and very handy. Thank you
Awesome jig for thin strips. Was just about to cut a bunch of splines for drawer boxes and pondered how to do it best. Will be making one of those for sure.
My mind is blown by your dado jig that is totally genius! I definitely need to make that one in the keyhole jig as the first two. I plan on making a lot more jigs thank you so much!
Love the dado jig!
i like them all! but the dato, keyhole, and verticle will be fabbed up!!!! thanks for the video
Thank you for these !
Really fantastic jigs, Marie! Thanks a bunch for all the tips! 😃
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Thank you! You too!
Wow! clear, concise and super informative. Very professional video & audio; a pleasure to watch. I am a 71 year old jack of all trades who watches many DIY RUclips videos. (I love to lean) Normally I don't subscribe but DIY Montreal is now my 1st & only. Will forward to my grandkids as you are also a great role model.
I will definitely make the dado jig - very straight forward design and way easier to build than most of the other I have seen on RUclips. Thanks for sharing!
Super useful!!! Thanks so much!
THANK YOU================KISS: Keep it simple,smart!
They are all very useful jigs. You present everything very clear and concise. I have one of the jigs already, but I have a feeling I'll be making the other four.
Outstanding video ! No endless preamble, concise directions I can follow and easy presentation to follow, thank you 👍👍
Loved the dado jig. Loved them all but particularly the dado jig.
The adjustable dado jig is my favorite
Absolutely genius
Your dado jig looks to be a game changer! Thanks for teaching this tip!
Holy sh*t that dado jig is sheer genius!
Such a helpful video!! You explained everything in such a way that I FINALLY feel I truly understand how to make these. Thank you!
I'm not a woodworker, but in time I'd like to acquire some of these power tools. As a complete novice, your videos are helpful because they are simple enough for me to understand, but also introduce me to techniques and safety concerns I wouldn't be thinking about. Thanks for sharing your experience here on youtube!
I've seen variations of a few of these; but yours seem more strait forward. Respect for the quality content.
Good stuff. thank you. Spend more time watching videos than doing stuff but when I take the tarp off of my workbench I will be ready using your ideas.
I like that 'thin strip' jig. It's been awhile since I made any jigs, so I made this one. Works great for ripping scrap for making small crates.
I just wanted to thank you for this video. I was looking for a keyhole jig and this was very helpful and informative.
Marie... that dado jig idea is genius. Not sure why it never occurred to me though I'm greatful to you for sharing it. Keep it up. We're counting on you.
Dude your videos are super educational.
Love the key hole jig. Literally going to use it this weekend!! Thanks
Brilliant! I have built a few of your jigs and use them all the time. Thank you so much for the tips!
The dado jig... genius!! Merci bien!!
Awesome video thank you for sharing. Stay warm, safe, happy and healthy. From Henrico County Virginia
Thanks, same to you
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!
Thank you. I am super happy that I stumbled upon your videos. I am learning so much from you. I appreciate you!
I watched this when it came out and came back to see how you did your thin piece jig and after making one I'm quite pleased, Ty so much for sharing and I enjoy all the content you put out , good job!
That dado jig is fantastic. It is on the top of my list.
Marie, the dado jig is excellent. I will try this when I am ready to make some dado's. Thanks for the tips.
Glad you liked it
