  • 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. 😊

  • 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.

  • 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.

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 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!
