You're such a personable, down to earth person. I appreciate you taking the time to answer some questions. I love the origin of the company name and have enjoyed watching you grow in your skills. Keep up the good work and I hope the joy and accomplishment that is visibly present when you achieve the end goal continues for you.
I know this video is 2 years olds but, its my first time seeing it. I am brand new to woodworking, I am not great at it right now lol. But I love your content and how you explain things. I love how down to earth and honest you are with your viewers. All the best to you and your family. Thanks for sharing your creativity and spirit with us.
24:00, your philosophy on mistakes...this is the reason I subscribed to your channel. I love how you process through things on camera when your work doesn't go as planned. I really appreciate your attitude and share your videos with my daughters.
After watching this episode, I have deeper respect to your hard work with being multi tasking with keeping private as private and being wonderful mom of three children. Life is short and you found what you like. It inspires other’s life including me. Thank you very much. I’m learning wood working from you and planning to challenge a lot this year.
I started woodworking 2 years ago when I wanted a new nightstand, and didn't want press board. Since then I've built 2 desks, a TV stand with storage, a tv shelf, 3 side tables, and a shelving unit for my printer. You are an inspiration.
Fwiw, I started watching your channel because you were using a more affordable saw. It's impressive to see what you can do with it, and how you work around it.
I’m Irish and I never have a problem understanding your accent. And the way you pronounce TEMPLATE is how we do on this side of the water. The fact that you are only a few years doing woodworking is amazing and a credit to you. I always imagined that you would begin with “ as a child I used to help my grandfather in his shed “ how wrong was i. 🇮🇪
Haha! I forgot to mention that my grandfather was a woodworker. But sadly I never got to learn anything from him… I like to say that it’s just in my blood ☺️
I'm glad you answered the table saw question. I bet there are sponsors just drooling over putting a new saw in your shop. Love your content and I'm glad you did this video. Sometimes it's hard to realize that the person we watch so much of, is actually just a real person. Cheers!
I enjoyed you Q &A. Yours is one of my favorite woodworking channels. Most of the guys just make shop furniture, which is great, but I love that you make real things that you want to have and use. Also, I grew up in Queens so I love your accent. It's like being home again.
Thank you so much for what you bring to us . The joy of watching you makes my day .not only do I learn how to get out of a jam, I also see what a great Mom you are . Wouldn’t change a thing , especially your accent. And to make mistakes is human , keep doin , I’ll keep watching..😇
You said it, "I learn from the mistakes", love your articulate discussions and down to earth approach. I hope you create a classic guitar someday, that would be a great milestone to your career.
Tamar, thank you for the video and your honesty. To address one point - enjoying watching you fail. My wife and I love all of your content (and she is particularly inspired by what you achieve) - and watching you fail is something that we genuinely appreciate. It helps us connect with your honesty and experience, and reminds us (when we fail) that it's OK. Excited to see you grow and adapt to the new space, the new challenges you throw yourself, and especially see you enjoy the new saw! All the best.
Thank you for sharing some details when you certainly didn’t have to! You are one of the first woodworkers I chose to follow as I started my path. I admire your commitment to your family. You are a great role model in both ways. Keep up the good work, mom!
Hello Tamar, I know you are a great inspiration for many Brazilians woodworkers, beginners and experienced, and I hope you continue gracing us with your gorgeous presence and excellent videos. I learned a lot with you. Thank you.
Tamar - you are so awesome and I'm so happy that it sounds like things are going to be happening for you! Please just don't become unrelatable like many other UA-camrs out there! Aside from your ingenious engineering, your relatability is what I love most about you! Thanks for this awesome video!
@@3x3CustomTamar As a guy with a small basement shop with a jobsite tablesaw and not enough space to rip a board longer than five feet, I've found you to be perhaps the most relatable UA-cam woodworker, with your garage shop filled with entry level tools. Being largely self-taught myself, I've enjoyed watching you develop your skills.
@@christopherfeld6371 not at all to take away from Tamar but to add to her knowledge check out rag n bone brown. He does similar work to her and doesnt use the fancy tools like a lot of others
I started with a skill saw, random orbital sander and of course a router. Those 3 tools made desks, Cedar chests, shelves, cabinets and numerous more projects. Life was much simpler with 3 tools, now with a big shop and endless power tools they all get used less. But it is more enjoyable when I can use them.
I highly thank you for being reasonable and keep your family out of your videos. Especially your kids! I wish more parents would act that reasonable as you do it. They will thank you later for it. I do the same with my kids and you can't delete something you posted. Keep that up! . . and also the nice and creative projects. You're inspiring.
I can't BELIEVE people are letting your accent inform their decision to view your content. It's baffling. I find your content informative, helpful, positive, uplifting and yes, entertaining! Your channel is on in the background while cooking and just puttering around sometimes. Keep doing what your doing!!!
I love this!!! I’ve been a design engineer for almost 2 decades and never got the satisfaction of feeling a creation that I dreamt up and made with my own hands. I love the creation process and feel that everyone should get the same joy. Keep doing things that make you curious and feel whole! Love your content!!!!
I appreciate your humility. Your realness is the main thing that draws me to your channel. I hope you get as much enjoyment from your efforts as your followers do. Also, your accent is hilarious :)
Honestly it's the quality of your videos that caught my attention. It's the honesty and genuineness that made me stay. Thank you so much for being so clear about the lines you draw. You inspire me with each video.
It's sad to hear how so many take for granted what you do and bash the petty things. I've already admired your skills and ingenuity and now even more knowing your thick skin and keeping things real. Also huge congratulations on the Fine Woodworking contribution. Many longer-time WW's (and YT'rs) would love to have that honor!
Great video. FAQ’s are really helpful, in finding out more of what it takes, to either build the project, and to make the videos. I have one piece of feedback. For me, its not that I like to see you fail, its good to see that everyone makes mistakes, including you. But what is great about that mistake, you come up with either a way to work around it or a fix.
Totally get it. It could be really disheartening when you fail in your own work and all you see are perfect projects other ppl are making. And that’s why I chose to include the mistakes. Bc I remember feeling that way in the beginning 👍
You are truly genuine and I always feel as though you are looking through the screen to make sure we all get what you mean, understand what to expect while still letting us do our own thing. A true teacher/mentor works the way you do. Thank you for that. This, in my opinion, is why you are so well followed and respected. Thank you for being on here.
“They aren’t old enough to make the decision to have their faces out for the world to see” This resonates with me so much. I can’t believe people smear FB and IG with their kids faces. It’s a gross invasion of privacy
@@3x3CustomTamar they probably won't, everything that's wrong in their life will be you or your husband's fault. Maybe when they have their own children they may understand.
Agree. In an ever-increasing digital world, and once they are old enough, kids should be in charge of developing their online identity......not their parents. Kids are not here to bring attention to their parents.
"One Step Forward and Two Steps Backward" is my clearest way of doing almost anything in life. Your discourse was absolutely wonderful and honest. Family comes first and needs to be protected. You are not alone. keep moving forward and remember to learn from all your so called mistakes. That is the best. I am working on a project that I would like to share. Later perhaps.
You're a very gifted and compelling communicator. The more I watch of your videos the more impressed I am with your skills and values. Thanks for popping the privacy bubble enough to share a bit with us. I really liked the black carcass/birch drawer fronts of your router table, so used a similar color scheme for a small shop cabinet with drawers. Many thanks for the inspiration.
Of all the colloquial pronunciations saying "draw" instead of "drawer" is one of my favorites. I always assumed it was because you 'draw' it from the chest and it was a different word altogether, but seeing you spell the word the way I'm used to made me realize it's just a different (but not uncommon) dialect. Love your channel.
You are my favorite UA-cam woodworker. I've been working wood 16 years, and still, I learn something with every video you make. I know it's hard work, and I really appreciate it. Also, I get the stuff about mistakes. I don't like admitting and showcasing my mistakes either. I imagine that they probably give the trolls something to grab on to. Nonetheless, showing your mistakes helps me learn from them with you. It makes me a better woodworker as it makes you a better woodworker. Thank you for revealing some of them. This, I also really appreciate. You rock, and I love your content! Thanks!
Wow! Tamar thanks so much for sharing a bit about you. You have inspired me to give woodworking a try and during these trying times we are in, I have learned and accomplished so much from your videos. I really enjoy watching your projects come to life, you are very talented and I think a great teacher! I am sure your children are the biggest benefactor of this talent. Side note I have built almost all of your jigs 😊 not that I needed them yet for projects but I learned so much just building them and learning how to use the tools as well. Grrrr people thinking your husband does the build! I loved your response! You should see the looks when I land my own plane at some strange airport and I am the only one to get out, then some guy asks you flew in here by yourself?? I laugh and say no I just used the autopilot! Looking forward to watching your next guitar build!
You know, you're probably the most requested 'next guest' on Steve Ramsey's interview UA-cam show. After this, he won't have anything to talk to you about! I really like how much you smile and laugh in your videos. P.S., I hope you enjoy your new space!
I'm a recently retired Electrical Engineer, and I love the fact that you can relate to me - or rather "us" - those who aspire to make homemade beautiful stuff. Also, I love that you use a "job site table saw" rather than a huge heavy table saw with a huge table built around it. I don't have a woodshop - I have a two car garage that is filled with house overflow, my boat, a 4x4 ATV and my tools. So my "unheated" work area is smallish. I appreciate you sharing what tools are most valuable to you as well.
Wow ! I started watching you at the beginning of your channel ☺️ I just noticed you now have over half a million subscribers !!! Congratulations 👏👏 💜💜💜
I actually tried telling one of the “template” haters that I say it the same way as ppl in the UK, and where do you think English came from?? That made him really mad…. 😂😂
You have turned into one of my heroes. I started really appreciating you because your wood working is well done and you learn really fast. Then I saw the video with you teaching your kids to play a game you made. Hero status was immediate. I love seeing people who really know how to raise kids well. My favorite project you did was the wild veneered cabinet with all the angles. Oh, and thanks for all the info about the chore of creating content. That is why I have never tried to start a channel and your honesty affirms my choice, I'll just keep enjoying the community and all the ideas you all share - especially the ones with drawers ;-)
This is a great session. I really appreciated hearing about how you keep work and family separate. I like that you treat it like a "Real Job" (Yes, I know it is.) and keep hours for each part of your life. You seem to enjoy what you are doing, and I am enriched by your content.
Thanks Tamar. You've satisfied all my curiosities about your skills and other questions I have pondered. I am 73 and first started my woodworking as a hobby in the 80's while working as a carpenter/renovator but still consider myself a novice. I've learned from and been inspired by your videos. Watching them is like cold lemonade on a hot summer day. Keep up the good work and now maybe I'll take the leap and try making something with "draws".
I’ve always admired how you manage time with your family and time in your shop. It’s so difficult to find balance and you do a wonderful job of it. And, of course, you come up with some of the coolest ideas I’ve ever seen 🙌
Your videos are wonderful and I feel like you don't "talk down" to any of us novices. I built your wood/plywood cart and it was a great experience. Thank you so much and keep up the great work!!! Have u thought about hiring someone part time for video editing? You seem so joyful and it sounds like something you don't like doing... Plus takes time away from your family and shop time!!!
In my late 20s, I helped a friend move to New England. We went to a grocery store, and an announcement about daily specials came over the loud speakers. First experience with a Bostonian accent - I laughed myself silly. I am sure the customers thought I was nuts, and maybe rude.
Hello Tamar, I liked you, but now that I've learned more about you, your family and interests, I like you even more. I think it's great that you separated your hobby and family life. Family is the most important thing in life. Keep up the good work and let us continue to participate in your hobby and love to work with wood. Stay healthy
I appreciate how you tend to choose distinctive projects for your videos - knowing what's already been done well by other woodworkers and not duplicating it.
I am very glad you answered the question about your accent. Personally, I absolutely LOVE the way you say "drawer." It makes me giggle every time you say it. Don't ever change that for any one.
Cudos to you for the way you arrange your UA-cam work - both how professional your videos are made and that you keep your kids, husband and private life separated from it. I am sure a lot of us would love to see your family in the videos but I have nothing but respect for you and your decision to keep your private life private and I am certain most If not all of your followers feel the same way! Thank you for showing us and teaching us stuff in woodworking and always doing so with a smile. It is very much appreciated! Ten thumbs up! You and your family stay safe, as well as all your followers!
I too, like Duane Miller, appreciate your honesty. Been at woodworking for about 40 years, however, learned a few tricks and tips from your videos. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and I agree with you that our kids and family are most important.
What always struck me about you is your intelligence,you articulate yourself very well and have a very good mechanical understanding of what you do..keep going!!
We are not perfect. Steve Ramsey said in his 40 years of woodworking experience there is not a single of his projects which is 100% flawless. But luckily in woodworking we can fix many mistakes. BTW, this video is greatly helpful to know more about you. You are doing awesome. Keep going +1
I said it once before in a post that you are such a great communicator. Now we know why. Thank you for sharing your journey on UA-cam and answering all the questions we had. Love your work, keep at i.
Excellent Q&A! Was just visiting and your name came up when discussing the latest issue of Fine Woodworking Magazine and your adjustable router table fence article. I mentioned that I followed your channel and then spoke about the things that have struck me over the years. No heat in garage, amazing power lift router table, your problem solving skills and jig designs!!! Someone pondered why you would have such an expensive router setup but no heat, and I didn't have an answer, now I do:)! Most important tool that you couldn't live without, ALL-THINGS-ROUTER, infrastructure of shop not conducive to heat or running high powered machines, and you're willing to be patient to get what you want! Outstanding!!!
Just so you know, I appreciate when you show your mistakes because it makes me realize that it's ok to do that. Too often project builders were just show it as if it was a blink of an eye and done. I find it never works that way - ever. So thank you for taking the courage to do that and what you do. You humanize woodworking. That's why I love your channel - that and DIY Huntress because she also humanizes woodworking.
I'm so glad you didn't change the name of your channel. It's perfect! I wish you could teach me how to build a 6-string bass guitar for my daughter. I'm a working mom with more woodworking tools than time. But I don't have a jointer, planer, or CNC.
I really appreciate how that you leave at least some of your mistakes in your videos. It shows things to look out for and that it is a process that you are learning from. It also appears that you are confident in yourself enough that you don't have to try to make yourself look perfect. It's why I, and I think at least some others keep watching.
The transparency of this video was amazing. I told myself I would watch for 5 or 10 minutes but here I am 38 minutes later. You answered so many questions that I had about starting a channel. Thank you for all the hard work and sacrifices you make for your family. Your need for privacy is admirable. I've been a long time subscriber but this is my first time commenting. I can't wait for the next video!
@@3x3CustomTamar I’m really private too which made the whole video really relatable for me. 38 minutes felt like 10. I could watch you talk about wood for an hour easily. Lol. I know it’s weekend hours so have fun with the family. I really wasn’t expecting you to respond so quickly 7 months later
Thanks for all you do. Appreciate the transparency in your videos and your problem solving approach to working thru a project. I, too, have moved on from frustration with mistakes to dealing with them as just a part of the process. I had a college professor say once that “confusion [read mistakes] is the state of learning”. I didn’t really grasp this at first, but I do appreciate that and it’s the challenge and problem solving part of woodworking in addition to the creativity outlet I enjoy the most.
One of the best things about your videos is that you show your mistakes and how you fix them. Another great thing you do is explain your thought process.. thank you and keep up the good work
Watching someone that knows what they are doing make a mistake makes me feel better about the mistakes I make. I’m new at this and mistakes come but knowing others make them to is reassuring. Your videos always make me feel I can do that. Keep up the good work.
The other night I was talking to my daughter and our conversation was around tools... she is her fathers daughter... she is doing over her kitchen all new cabinets, knocked down a wall and expanding the kitchen. Then we got into where to buy tools... and which ones are the most important to have, the biggest bang for your buck tools... it was a very interesting conversation! Also, she has 9 kids, full time job and home schools and she has more energy... I put her on to your videos. I found this very interesting how you got started, now... I understand why your videos are so well put together, probably why you're one of my favorite woodworkers! Great job, keep up the good work... another morning coffee video for me! :)
Thank You, your video was very refreshing to see and hear. The fact that you value your family and their privacy was priceless. People tend to forget that even content creators are not perfect in what they do. I did some professional work in video a number of years back, and when I thought abour recording some woodworking projects for youtube, the amount of planning and time involved to do so was tremendous compared to the actual build. I respect your honesty and transparency with your process, and I have learned alot from what you do. Blessings to you
I kind of knew that there was a lot of behind the scenes work you did but 3 times the amount you spend in the shop. wow. I love that you are probably inspiring other women to "break through" the "norms" of men only being in the shops. I am a huge fan and I have learned a great deal from you. keep up the wonderful work you do. I always look forward to seeing how you "figure it out".
I really appreciate your thoughtful approach to social media and family. It's important to establish professional boundaries, especially when your profession is so personality-driven. My wife and I are also 100% of the same thinking as you, with regards to kids on the Internet--we don't put our daughter's face out there and won't until she's old enough to understand what that means and make decisions for herself. You're a great inspiration to all of us!
I subscribed a long time ago because I thought you explained stuff so well, but I'd also note that you are just so naturally genuine and personable (I see that is a repeat comment, so what ...) that you make it very enjoyable to watch. I was a bit surprised though at how much extra time creating video takes over just doing projects, but I believe it. All the best for you and your family!
Tamar, Thanks for sharing your background and your motivations in woodworking! I feel like I know you a little better now. I've been following you since your beginning and it has been such a pleasure watching you evolve as a woodworker. You are so innovative and intuitive with your processes in a project. You were destined to be in this profession. You are the Queen of jigs too! Wishing you the best in the future and looking forward to your future projects. It's such a pleasure watching your vids.
I find it amazing that in 2021 a skilled woman has to defend her work as hers (not the husband), or defend her family's privacy (Male youtube woodworkers that do not show their family are asked anout it?). You make great stuff and make great videos, thank you!
Im a big fan of your and I have my own home workshop in the uk, I just wanted to express my appreciation for all of you help and advice in your videos, its really refreshing how humble some of the woodworking community. I know exactly what you mean about being private, im exactly the same. anyway, you are awesome and so is your work, thankyou so much for being a great role model for me and others who aspire to be hobbyists and pros in the community. All the best in the future, Love and Respect.
I love your videos. I love your accent. And the primary reason I started watching, and continue to watch is the fact that you're using tools that are accessible and affordable for most of us who might be on a limited budget. You're showing us that it's possible to do great things without having the best and most expensive equipment. Thank you so much for sharing your experiences and also for the candid nature of this particular video.
I know you'd like to upgrade, but the fact that you can make great projects using the contractor's saw is very helpful to folks like me who don't have room in their garage for a cabinet saw. Thanks for all the time and effort you put into producing your videos!
I think it's amazing how you balance family and work. Time management is a needed skill and most of us fail at it. I'm a dad and constantly having to divide my time between work and family. Disclaimer I'm a knuckle dragging male and I enjoy your channel because of your problem solving thought process. The way you look at a problem gives me different angle on the problem. I know mistakes happen it part of the learning experience. Everyday is a good day when you learn something. Keep up the great work. Thanks for 3x3
I love your video style Tamar (not just purely instructional) - but I am even more impressed finding out you do literally everything yourself including socials, especially at this stage of your business. Much respect!
I find it fascinating to hear people's stories so loved yours! You are such an accomplished person in so many ways. It's admirable that you put such value on the importance of your family. You are obviously a very intelligent person and skilled woodworker as well. It is wonderful that life led you down this path to find such a passion for woodworking even though it wasn't your original goal. Many people have benefited from all the hard work you do in order to share your woodworking passion on UA-cam. Thanks for your video's and for sharing a little bit more about yourself with the woodworking community. Keep up the great work!!!
Thanks so much! It’s funny where life will lead you… ha! If someone would have told me 10 years ago this is where I would be, I would have laughed in their faces… me on camera!? Woodworking?!?! Hahah!
I really admire the approach you take to do your work and your honesty. I hope your passion for this doesn't fizzle out and I'll be looking forward to your videos forever.
This might sound stupid, but one of the reasons I keep coming back to your channel is that you are real and you show your mistakes and you show basic ways of doing things that other wood workers don't show.
It’s really nice that you shared a bit of your background. You have become so familiar through all your great videos and projects. You are not only a great self- learner and video producer, but also very articulate and thoughtful. Thanks.
First time I've watched a U- tube this long, but well worth it. Glad JM-K said you were so good (actually brilliantly simplistic), or I'd never had followed. Nice job....
I'm sure you do not remember, but I remember meeting you at WBC. I loved how humble you were about the fact you were being recognized. It was a short convo, but I really enjoyed meeting you.
1. What's a awesome story behind the channel name! 2. I totally understand keeping your family members off UA-cam, it's a form of protection for the children IMO 3. I don't like to watch you fail, but seeing you overcome all your mistakes is a great inspiration to me!
It isn’t that I like to see you fail. It’s that you aren’t afraid to let us know that you have things that don’t work out just like us. You are an amazing woman. Keep being authentic.
About failures: Yes, I love it when youtube woodworkers (and others) show their failures. BECAUSE I want so see how they deal with it / fix it / make it work. Shit happens to me all the time and I learn most from other peoples oopses and their fixes. Please keep showing these.
You're such a personable, down to earth person. I appreciate you taking the time to answer some questions. I love the origin of the company name and have enjoyed watching you grow in your skills. Keep up the good work and I hope the joy and accomplishment that is visibly present when you achieve the end goal continues for you.
D Day: I was going to comment, but after reading yours…nuff said!!!

Life is short and you found what you like. It inspires other’s life including me. Thank you very much. I’m learning wood working from you and planning to challenge a lot this year.
☺️☺️
I started woodworking 2 years ago when I wanted a new nightstand, and didn't want press board. Since then I've built 2 desks, a TV stand with storage, a tv shelf, 3 side tables, and a shelving unit for my printer. You are an inspiration.
Fwiw, I started watching your channel because you were using a more affordable saw. It's impressive to see what you can do with it, and how you work around it.
The man who never made a mistake never made anything.
Keep up the good work, Your videos are a joy to behold partly due to their sheer professionalism
Truth…. Thanks so much!!
Well, sure… the MAN that never made a mistake never made anything. ;) Sorry, my wife made me post that. :-)
I appreciate that you have equipment that us novices use. I also enjoy seeing another woman in the woodshop!
Glad you like it. Yea! We need more of us!
I’m Irish and I never have a problem understanding your accent. And the way you pronounce TEMPLATE is how we do on this side of the water.

Haha thanks so much!
You said it, "I learn from the mistakes", love your articulate discussions and down to earth approach. I hope you create a classic guitar someday, that would be a great milestone to your career.
I hope to create one as well!
Great management policy, stick with the no family shown, its just entirely you, and its great !
Glad you agree ☺️ this channel is about my woodworking. Not my life. Ha

It helps us connect with your honesty and experience, and reminds us (when we fail) that it's OK.

Tamar, you are such an inspiration and a joy to watch. Thanks for this insight. Look forward to future videos.
Awesome to hear! Thanks!

and also the nice and creative projects. You're inspiring.
Glad you appreciate it!
I can't BELIEVE people are letting your accent inform their decision to view your content. It's baffling. I find your content informative, helpful, positive, uplifting and yes, entertaining! Your channel is on in the background while cooking and just puttering around sometimes. Keep doing what your doing!!!
I love this!!! I’ve been a design engineer for almost 2 decades and never got the satisfaction of feeling a creation that I dreamt up and made with my own hands. I love the creation process and feel that everyone should get the same joy. Keep doing things that make you curious and feel whole! Love your content!!!!
I appreciate your humility. Your realness is the main thing that draws me to your channel. I hope you get as much enjoyment from your efforts as your followers do. Also, your accent is hilarious :)
😂😂😂
Honestly it's the quality of your videos that caught my attention. It's the honesty and genuineness that made me stay. Thank you so much for being so clear about the lines you draw. You inspire me with each video.
So awesome to hear!
I loved the way ; how you handle everything and on top not letting your passion die ❤️
☺️☺️
It's sad to hear how so many take for granted what you do and bash the petty things. I've already admired your skills and ingenuity and now even more knowing your thick skin and keeping things real.
Also huge congratulations on the Fine Woodworking contribution. Many longer-time WW's (and YT'rs) would love to have that honor!
Thanks so much!!
Great video. FAQ’s are really helpful, in finding out more of what it takes, to either build the project, and to make the videos. I have one piece of feedback. For me, its not that I like to see you fail, its good to see that everyone makes mistakes, including you. But what is great about that mistake, you come up with either a way to work around it or a fix.
Totally get it. It could be really disheartening when you fail in your own work and all you see are perfect projects other ppl are making. And that’s why I chose to include the mistakes. Bc I remember feeling that way in the beginning 👍
Exactly, because I make those mistakes alot, it's nice that you show how you dealt with the mistakes. Thank you for posting videos.
You are truly genuine and I always feel as though you are looking through the screen to make sure we all get what you mean, understand what to expect while still letting us do our own thing. A true teacher/mentor works the way you do. Thank you for that. This, in my opinion, is why you are so well followed and respected. Thank you for being on here.
So awesome to hear ☺️
“They aren’t old enough to make the decision to have their faces out for the world to see”
This resonates with me so much. I can’t believe people smear FB and IG with their kids faces. It’s a gross invasion of privacy
Yeah, I’m hoping they’ll thank me one day. Ha
@@3x3CustomTamar they probably won't, everything that's wrong in their life will be you or your husband's fault. Maybe when they have their own children they may understand.
Agree. In an ever-increasing digital world, and once they are old enough, kids should be in charge of developing their online identity......not their parents. Kids are not here to bring attention to their parents.
@@SSRT_JubyDuby8742 So you have a teenager?
@@bradquinn2859 20 and 22 now, but we definitely 'lived' the teen years 😂🤣
"One Step Forward and Two Steps Backward" is my clearest way of doing almost anything in life. Your discourse was absolutely wonderful and honest. Family comes first and needs to be protected. You are not alone. keep moving forward and remember to learn from all your so called mistakes. That is the best. I am working on a project that I would like to share. Later perhaps.
👍👍👍
Wonderful video, Tamar! You're one of my favorite UA-cam creators. Keep it up!
Awesome to hear! Thanks!
You're a very gifted and compelling communicator. The more I watch of your videos the more impressed I am with your skills and values. Thanks for popping the privacy bubble enough to share a bit with us.
I really liked the black carcass/birch drawer fronts of your router table, so used a similar color scheme for a small shop cabinet with drawers. Many thanks for the inspiration.
Glad it inspired you! Awesome
Of all the colloquial pronunciations saying "draw" instead of "drawer" is one of my favorites. I always assumed it was because you 'draw' it from the chest and it was a different word altogether, but seeing you spell the word the way I'm used to made me realize it's just a different (but not uncommon) dialect. Love your channel.
Common where I’m from! 😂😂
If the verb is "draw" like you _draw_ it from the chest, then the person should be the drawer, and the drawer should be the _drawee_
😜
You are my favorite UA-cam woodworker. I've been working wood 16 years, and still, I learn something with every video you make. I know it's hard work, and I really appreciate it. Also, I get the stuff about mistakes. I don't like admitting and showcasing my mistakes either. I imagine that they probably give the trolls something to grab on to. Nonetheless, showing your mistakes helps me learn from them with you. It makes me a better woodworker as it makes you a better woodworker. Thank you for revealing some of them. This, I also really appreciate. You rock, and I love your content! Thanks!
So awesome to hear! As hard as it is to share. I know it needs to be shown because it’s all part of the process
Wow! Tamar thanks so much for sharing a bit about you. You have inspired me to give woodworking a try and during these trying times we are in, I have learned and accomplished so much from your videos. I really enjoy watching your projects come to life, you are very talented and I think a great teacher! I am sure your children are the biggest benefactor of this talent. Side note I have built almost all of your jigs 😊 not that I needed them yet for projects but I learned so much just building them and learning how to use the tools as well. Grrrr people thinking your husband does the build! I loved your response! You should see the looks when I land my own plane at some strange airport and I am the only one to get out, then some guy asks you flew in here by yourself?? I laugh and say no I just used the autopilot! Looking forward to watching your next guitar build!
Haha used autopilot!! Great answer!!! 😂
Awesome Q and A. I've been a woodworker for 29 years. If your not making mistakes, your not learning to perfect and outcome.
You know, you're probably the most requested 'next guest' on Steve Ramsey's interview UA-cam show. After this, he won't have anything to talk to you about! I really like how much you smile and laugh in your videos. P.S., I hope you enjoy your new space!
😂😂😂
I'm a recently retired Electrical Engineer, and I love the fact that you can relate to me - or rather "us" - those who aspire to make homemade beautiful stuff. Also, I love that you use a "job site table saw" rather than a huge heavy table saw with a huge table built around it. I don't have a woodshop - I have a two car garage that is filled with house overflow, my boat, a 4x4 ATV and my tools. So my "unheated" work area is smallish. I appreciate you sharing what tools are most valuable to you as well.
Wow !
I started watching you at the beginning of your channel ☺️
I just noticed you now have over half a million subscribers !!!
Congratulations 👏👏
💜💜💜
☺️☺️☺️ thanks!
Mistakes are the ultimate lessons that makes us grow. You on the right path. Thank you for being straight up and gently blunt.
Totally agree. No better way to learn
Anyone who grew up watching New Yankee Workshop knows exactly what a “draw” is.
Right?! Haha
LOL. The New England accent is quite another thing!!
Right!!! That was my thought exactly! You say it however you say it girlfriend!
👍🤣
“What is a yute? “
I really can’t add much more to what other folks have said. You are inspiring, real, and delightful. Thank you!
☺️☺️☺️
We in the UK pronounce drawer and template like you do, so it's always sounded perfectly normal to me when you have said them!
I actually tried telling one of the “template” haters that I say it the same way as ppl in the UK, and where do you think English came from?? That made him really mad…. 😂😂
Yes! I was about to comment the same thing! It’s a nicer accent than other parts of America I think.
I've literally never heard someone pronounce "template" the other way, like _tem-plətt._ Tem"plate" like "plate" obv!
You have turned into one of my heroes. I started really appreciating you because your wood working is well done and you learn really fast. Then I saw the video with you teaching your kids to play a game you made. Hero status was immediate. I love seeing people who really know how to raise kids well. My favorite project you did was the wild veneered cabinet with all the angles. Oh, and thanks for all the info about the chore of creating content. That is why I have never tried to start a channel and your honesty affirms my choice, I'll just keep enjoying the community and all the ideas you all share - especially the ones with drawers ;-)
So glad you like the videos ☺️
This is a great session. I really appreciated hearing about how you keep work and family separate. I like that you treat it like a "Real Job" (Yes, I know it is.) and keep hours for each part of your life.
You seem to enjoy what you are doing, and I am enriched by your content.
Haha! I always try to explain how it’s a “real job” to people 😂😂
Thanks Tamar. You've satisfied all my curiosities about your skills and other questions I have pondered. I am 73 and first started my woodworking as a hobby in the 80's while working as a carpenter/renovator but still consider myself a novice. I've learned from and been inspired by your videos. Watching them is like cold lemonade on a hot summer day. Keep up the good work and now maybe I'll take the leap and try making something with "draws".
Haha thanks so much!
Thank you so much for putting this together! It was cool to get some insight on how your channel originated and how everything comes together.
Glad you enjoyed it!
I’ve always admired how you manage time with your family and time in your shop. It’s so difficult to find balance and you do a wonderful job of it. And, of course, you come up with some of the coolest ideas I’ve ever seen 🙌
I try my best! I definitely have moments where it all unravels and life gets crazy… but I signed up for this and wouldn’t have it any other way 👍
Olá, bom dia!!! Gosto muito de seus vídeos e dos trabalhos Fantásticos.. Parabéns!!!
Your videos are wonderful and I feel like you don't "talk down" to any of us novices. I built your wood/plywood cart and it was a great experience. Thank you so much and keep up the great work!!! Have u thought about hiring someone part time for video editing? You seem so joyful and it sounds like something you don't like doing... Plus takes time away from your family and shop time!!!
Glad you like it! I don’t think I can relinquish that control over to someone else. Ha
I love hearing your accent. Draws is amazing!
😂😂😂
In my late 20s, I helped a friend move to New England. We went to a grocery store, and an announcement about daily specials came over the loud speakers. First experience with a Bostonian accent - I laughed myself silly. I am sure the customers thought I was nuts, and maybe rude.
Hello Tamar, I liked you, but now that I've learned more about you, your family and interests, I like you even more. I think it's great that you separated your hobby and family life. Family is the most important thing in life. Keep up the good work and let us continue to participate in your hobby and love to work with wood. Stay healthy
☺️☺️☺️
My wife won't let me go flea marketing. She says it's a gateway drug. I think you just confirmed it for her :-)
😂😂😂
I appreciate how you tend to choose distinctive projects for your videos - knowing what's already been done well by other woodworkers and not duplicating it.
Awesome to hear!
Re: "drawer" - Where I come from it's pronounced more like "droor." Accents are funny.
They sure are 😂
I am very glad you answered the question about your accent. Personally, I absolutely LOVE the way you say "drawer." It makes me giggle every time you say it. Don't ever change that for any one.
Cudos to you for the way you arrange your UA-cam work - both how professional your videos are made and that you keep your kids, husband and private life separated from it. I am sure a lot of us would love to see your family in the videos but I have nothing but respect for you and your decision to keep your private life private and I am certain most If not all of your followers feel the same way!
Thank you for showing us and teaching us stuff in woodworking and always doing so with a smile. It is very much appreciated! Ten thumbs up!
You and your family stay safe, as well as all your followers!
Glad you appreciate it and understand!
I too, like Duane Miller, appreciate your honesty. Been at woodworking for about 40 years, however, learned a few tricks and tips from your videos. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and I agree with you that our kids and family are most important.
So awesome to hear! ☺️
What always struck me about you is your intelligence,you articulate yourself very well and have a very good mechanical understanding of what you do..keep going!!
We are not perfect. Steve Ramsey said in his 40 years of woodworking experience there is not a single of his projects which is 100% flawless. But luckily in woodworking we can fix many mistakes.
BTW, this video is greatly helpful to know more about you. You are doing awesome. Keep going +1
I said it once before in a post that you are such a great communicator. Now we know why. Thank you for sharing your journey on UA-cam and answering all the questions we had. Love your work, keep at i.
Glad you liked it!
I love your story. I am a beginner (at the age of 59) and I learn a lot from you. Keep up the content.
Excellent Q&A! Was just visiting and your name came up when discussing the latest issue of Fine Woodworking Magazine and your adjustable router table fence article. I mentioned that I followed your channel and then spoke about the things that have struck me over the years. No heat in garage, amazing power lift router table, your problem solving skills and jig designs!!! Someone pondered why you would have such an expensive router setup but no heat, and I didn't have an answer, now I do:)! Most important tool that you couldn't live without, ALL-THINGS-ROUTER, infrastructure of shop not conducive to heat or running high powered machines, and you're willing to be patient to get what you want! Outstanding!!!
Give me all the routers 😂😂😂
Just so you know, I appreciate when you show your mistakes because it makes me realize that it's ok to do that. Too often project builders were just show it as if it was a blink of an eye and done. I find it never works that way - ever. So thank you for taking the courage to do that and what you do. You humanize woodworking. That's why I love your channel - that and DIY Huntress because she also humanizes woodworking.
We all make mistakes! It’s all in how you deal with them 👍
I'm so glad you didn't change the name of your channel. It's perfect! I wish you could teach me how to build a 6-string bass guitar for my daughter. I'm a working mom with more woodworking tools than time. But I don't have a jointer, planer, or CNC.
I’m going to build a bass for my son soon. But not a 6 string… and it’s going to be more of a hack than a build… ha
Oh! I hope you create a video of the bass build. I'm sure it will be amazing as usual!
500,000 subs is because you are the most genuine person in this community. Keep it up
☺️☺️☺️
I really appreciate how that you leave at least some of your mistakes in your videos. It shows things to look out for and that it is a process that you are learning from. It also appears that you are confident in yourself enough that you don't have to try to make yourself look perfect. It's why I, and I think at least some others keep watching.
Glad you appreciate IT! It’s all part of the process
The transparency of this video was amazing. I told myself I would watch for 5 or 10 minutes but here I am 38 minutes later. You answered so many questions that I had about starting a channel. Thank you for all the hard work and sacrifices you make for your family. Your need for privacy is admirable. I've been a long time subscriber but this is my first time commenting. I can't wait for the next video!
It’s so weird putting myself out there when I’m such a private person… glad you stuck it out. Ha
@@3x3CustomTamar I’m really private too which made the whole video really relatable for me. 38 minutes felt like 10. I could watch you talk about wood for an hour easily. Lol. I know it’s weekend hours so have fun with the family. I really wasn’t expecting you to respond so quickly 7 months later
Thanks for all you do. Appreciate the transparency in your videos and your problem solving approach to working thru a project. I, too, have moved on from frustration with mistakes to dealing with them as just a part of the process. I had a college professor say once that “confusion [read mistakes] is the state of learning”. I didn’t really grasp this at first, but I do appreciate that and it’s the challenge and problem solving part of woodworking in addition to the creativity outlet I enjoy the most.
For sure. The moment when you realize how to fix something in a creative way is what excites me. 👍👍
One of the best things about your videos is that you show your mistakes and how you fix them.
Another great thing you do is explain your thought process.. thank you and keep up the good work
Awesome to hear! Thanks!
Watching someone that knows what they are doing make a mistake makes me feel better about the mistakes I make. I’m new at this and mistakes come but knowing others make them to is reassuring. Your videos always make me feel I can do that. Keep up the good work.
Totally get it!
The other night I was talking to my daughter and our conversation was around tools... she is her fathers daughter... she is doing over her kitchen all new cabinets, knocked down a wall and expanding the kitchen. Then we got into where to buy tools... and which ones are the most important to have, the biggest bang for your buck tools... it was a very interesting conversation! Also, she has 9 kids, full time job and home schools and she has more energy... I put her on to your videos. I found this very interesting how you got started, now... I understand why your videos are so well put together, probably why you're one of my favorite woodworkers! Great job, keep up the good work... another morning coffee video for me! :)
9 kids. Wow. Hats off to her… 👏👏👏
Thank You, your video was very refreshing to see and hear. The fact that you value your family and their privacy was priceless. People tend to forget that even content creators are not perfect in what they do. I did some professional work in video a number of years back, and when I thought abour recording some woodworking projects for youtube, the amount of planning and time involved to do so was tremendous compared to the actual build. I respect your honesty and transparency with your process, and I have learned alot from what you do. Blessings to you
Glad you enjoyed it!
I kind of knew that there was a lot of behind the scenes work you did but 3 times the amount you spend in the shop. wow. I love that you are probably inspiring other women to "break through" the "norms" of men only being in the shops. I am a huge fan and I have learned a great deal from you. keep up the wonderful work you do. I always look forward to seeing how you "figure it out".
Yup! I have been editing and writing plans all week… ha. Wish I could have been building! Oh well. All part of the deal… ☺️☺️☺️
From reworking flea market furniture to upscaling construction lumber to useful furniture. Nice!
👍👍👍
I really appreciate your thoughtful approach to social media and family. It's important to establish professional boundaries, especially when your profession is so personality-driven. My wife and I are also 100% of the same thinking as you, with regards to kids on the Internet--we don't put our daughter's face out there and won't until she's old enough to understand what that means and make decisions for herself.
You're a great inspiration to all of us!
☺️☺️
I subscribed a long time ago because I thought you explained stuff so well, but I'd also note that you are just so naturally genuine and personable (I see that is a repeat comment, so what ...) that you make it very enjoyable to watch. I was a bit surprised though at how much extra time creating video takes over just doing projects, but I believe it. All the best for you and your family!
Tamar, Thanks for sharing your background and your motivations in woodworking! I feel like I know you a little better now. I've been following you since your beginning and it has been such a pleasure watching you evolve as a woodworker. You are so innovative and intuitive with your processes in a project. You were destined to be in this profession. You are the Queen of jigs too! Wishing you the best in the future and looking forward to your future projects. It's such a pleasure watching your vids.
So awesome to hear! Thanks so much!!
I find it amazing that in 2021 a skilled woman has to defend her work as hers (not the husband), or defend her family's privacy (Male youtube woodworkers that do not show their family are asked anout it?). You make great stuff and make great videos, thank you!
Yup! Thanks!
Im a big fan of your and I have my own home workshop in the uk, I just wanted to express my appreciation for all of you help and advice in your videos, its really refreshing how humble some of the woodworking community. I know exactly what you mean about being private, im exactly the same. anyway, you are awesome and so is your work, thankyou so much for being a great role model for me and others who aspire to be hobbyists and pros in the community. All the best in the future, Love and Respect.
Awesome to hear! ☺️
I love your videos. I love your accent. And the primary reason I started watching, and continue to watch is the fact that you're using tools that are accessible and affordable for most of us who might be on a limited budget. You're showing us that it's possible to do great things without having the best and most expensive equipment. Thank you so much for sharing your experiences and also for the candid nature of this particular video.
Glad you like it! 👍👍
I know you'd like to upgrade, but the fact that you can make great projects using the contractor's saw is very helpful to folks like me who don't have room in their garage for a cabinet saw. Thanks for all the time and effort you put into producing your videos!
Don’t blame the tools…
I think it's amazing how you balance family and work. Time management is a needed skill and most of us fail at it. I'm a dad and constantly having to divide my time between work and family. Disclaimer I'm a knuckle dragging male and I enjoy your channel because of your problem solving thought process. The way you look at a problem gives me different angle on the problem. I know mistakes happen it part of the learning experience. Everyday is a good day when you learn something. Keep up the great work. Thanks for 3x3
So glad you like it! We try our best!
I love your video style Tamar (not just purely instructional) - but I am even more impressed finding out you do literally everything yourself including socials, especially at this stage of your business. Much respect!
It’s a lot! But I’m having fun!
You're very personable and have an excellent screen presence, keep the videos coming (when you can).
I’ll try my best!
I find it fascinating to hear people's stories so loved yours! You are such an accomplished person in so many ways. It's admirable that you put such value on the importance of your family. You are obviously a very intelligent person and skilled woodworker as well. It is wonderful that life led you down this path to find such a passion for woodworking even though it wasn't your original goal. Many people have benefited from all the hard work you do in order to share your woodworking passion on UA-cam. Thanks for your video's and for sharing a little bit more about yourself with the woodworking community. Keep up the great work!!!
Thanks so much! It’s funny where life will lead you… ha! If someone would have told me 10 years ago this is where I would be, I would have laughed in their faces… me on camera!? Woodworking?!?! Hahah!
I really admire the approach you take to do your work and your honesty. I hope your passion for this doesn't fizzle out and I'll be looking forward to your videos forever.
I hope so too! Ha
This might sound stupid, but one of the reasons I keep coming back to your channel is that you are real and you show your mistakes and you show basic ways of doing things that other wood workers don't show.
I totally get it!
It’s really nice that you shared a bit of your background. You have become so familiar through all your great videos and projects. You are not only a great self- learner and video producer, but also very articulate and thoughtful. Thanks.
Awesome to hear!
Loved hearing your behind the scenes stuff, I guess there's a reason your videos look so good! It's your hard work.
Hah thanks! It’s a lot.
First time I've watched a U- tube this long, but well worth it. Glad JM-K said you were so good (actually brilliantly simplistic), or I'd never had followed. Nice job....
Hah glad you stuck around! Thanks! ☺️
Your videos were one of the two creators who inspired me to get back in the shop after a long hiatus away. Thanks for the q&a.
So awesome to hear
I'm sure you do not remember, but I remember meeting you at WBC. I loved how humble you were about the fact you were being recognized. It was a short convo, but I really enjoyed meeting you.
Thanks! I remember your logo!
Tamar, thank you for sharing your time and wisdom with the world. God bless you and your family.
1. What's a awesome story behind the channel name!
2. I totally understand keeping your family members off UA-cam, it's a form of protection for the children IMO
3. I don't like to watch you fail, but seeing you overcome all your mistakes is a great inspiration to me!
Thanks!!
It isn’t that I like to see you fail. It’s that you aren’t afraid to let us know that you have things that don’t work out just like us. You are an amazing woman. Keep being authentic.
☺️☺️☺️💪💪💪
Appreciate all the answers. I will say, you're probably one of the most pure large channels I follow, and I love it, thank you.
So awesome to hear ☺️
About failures: Yes, I love it when youtube woodworkers (and others) show their failures. BECAUSE I want so see how they deal with it / fix it / make it work. Shit happens to me all the time and I learn most from other peoples oopses and their fixes. Please keep showing these.
