    Just finished making your jig. Works great. It’s the first jig I’ve seen on UA-cam that I thought would be useful enough, to take the time to make.

      David Hooper spline jigs that ride along the table saw fence are well worth the effort. Other then that I agree.

    Hi Tamar, another great video!
    The one thing that impresses me the most about you, as a self confessed untrained woodworker, is that you know all the correct woodworking terms. As a qualified furniture maker, you often take words out of my mouth when describing jobs. I think your woodworking knowledge is exceptional.
    Well done and keep up the great videos!!

    Hey Tamar, thanks for making this available to us all. I just realized after going to Lowe’s to purchase the steel bushing for the center hole, purchase a second bushing with 3/8 outside diameter and 1/4 inside diameter. Then your dowel jig works perfectly with both 3/8 and 1/4” dowels, same jig, just ad a smaller bushing. I too will likely only use 3/8” dowels but I thought I share! The bushings were in the hardware isle.

    The jig you based off of is the jig I do have. I have only used it on one project. I had one are where things just did not line up. There was no issue with the jig, it was my error of how I lined up my boards. I drilled the board facing the wrong way. That is one thing you have to do is be mindful of your board orientation. I fixed by switching to pocket holes. It was my first project with the jig, and I learned from my mistakes. Yes the jig is plastic and if does wear out or break, I now have a source to know how to make a replacement jig. Thank you for the idea and video. Your videos and how you approach and overcome are AWESOME!. It is people like you that inspires me. Please continue to make awesome videos! Mike from Tucson, AZ

    Thank you for taking the time to make this video. I’ll add that some metal tubing is not precisely 1/4, 3/8, or 1/2”. One may use something called a steel spacer in the nuts and bolts area of one’s local hardware store. Such spacers are only a few cents, come in various lengths (no need to cut them) and pound nicely into wood like you showed. Also Lee Valley makes inserts and bushings for interchangeable sizes (I think something like 6 sizes), but the require a 5/8ths hole, larger than most drill indexes.
    Anyway great video.

    This is a great example of innovation, improving on an idea and bringing the innovation forward with a better jig. Tamer also provides us with a great example of integrity. She mentions up front where she drew her inspiration from and provided a link to that product. I just wish all the UA-camrs who've subsequently copied Tamar's innovation had that same integrity.....

    This is genius. Definitely going to make one for my own shop! Regarding your comment at the end about enhancements to support multiple sizes, to be honest this takes so little material to make I think it just makes sense to have one for each size. I only use two sizes of dowel. It's not a burden at all to have one jig for each...
