I finally got around to making this jig...works great! Thanks
Awesome. Glad to hear!
I've been woodworking full time for more than 35 years. You do videos the way they ought to be done. You know what you're talking about and have excellent sense in editing. Congratulations. Keep up the good work.
Thanks so much for the feedback! I appreciate it!
Aye, I second that, Mark Koons. The best videos are to the point and short, with no extraneous chatter. And she's got the gift of excellent presentation too. Great stuff.
I am in awe every time I watch this lady!
Colin Knecht is AWESOME! I love your channels!
Made this and it works well - thanks! Not sure if anyone else mentioned this but I wound the nut all the way in to the blade ( i.e width = 0 ) then drilled a small marker hole on the upward facing nut edge. Then I can see full turns. Calibrated it by doing 10 turns and ripping and measuring a strip ( mine came to 12.25 mm). I can calculate accurate strip widths from this
Great idea mate!!
Would it not be easier just to look up the pitch of the thread on the bolt you are using? In metric land just use an M6 bolt so one turn is one millimetre or M14 for one turn being two millimetre so half a turn is one millimetre would probably be better for example. I don't want to think about it using UNC threads.
Cool jig; just what I need. Thank you! What’s cool is to see people adding their own two-cents’ worth, and giving ideas for improvements to the design. Sharing of ideas is always a good thing, and we all learn from several heads looking at things from different perspectives. What sucks is that sometimes you get people telling everybody to shut up and just accept the idea for what it is. That type of attitude doesn’t help anybody. You’re cool in that you have an open mind and accept people’s ideas and suggestions, which is something we all need to do more of. Thanks again for always making great videos!
Thanks! No idea is ever perfect. There’s always room for improvement!
The table saw is an ugly product because: you have to move a 4x8 board over the table and that is very heavy. Then the shop needs 16 ft, at least, to use a table saw. I offer you for free my invention "Parallel Guided Power Saw" you can see on your tube. You can use one and even manufacture it and sell it. I will give you all the information for free. Is very simple and great product and one day will eliminate the table saw, the router table and even drill press for some application, where we need holes for more than about 10 ft from the board edge.
Good job explaining
When putting the runner on the block, I would place it so the block extended past the blade. Then after runner installation, run it through the saw. Now the runner is square to the blade.
Great idea!
You're one of the few woodworkers I look to when I need any kind of jig, so when I needed to cut some thin strips, there you were. As always, thoroughly explained and approachable. I made one based on your description with only a couple of minor modifications. I used threaded inserts instead of T nuts because it's all I had, and I permanently attached the stop without the start knobs. Thank you for the the idea, it works perfectly.
You never hide the band aids, proving you are a REAL woodworker! Love your videos.
Haha! Is hiding the bandaids a thing?? Thanks!
Awesome tips and tricks my friend I love it very good idea to take care later :)
Glad you like it! Thanks!
@2:56 "I need a thin strip of wood for my thin strip jig so I'll use my Gripper" LOL. I love your videos...you've become my favorite creator! Even the way you say "drawer" is growing on me :D
Hahah! I really could have used it there!
I've used the 3 in 1 garage door lube for a year now. The 3 in 1 works great and keeps the door functioning easily. Thanks 3 in 1 !
I wish I would have used it sooner!
I saw this video the other day since I was looking for an easy way to cut thin strips of wood in a quick and repeatable manner, and I decided to build a jig similar to yours. Thank you for posting a solution! I departed from the design however when it came to the back stop that keeps the jig from sliding toward the blade during cutting operations - instead of a bolt-on design, I glued and screwed the back stop on the jig. Before I use the jig, I place the strip of wood on the table saw, snug between the blade and the fence, and I note the width shown on the table's tape measure. I make sure to lock the fence to remove any slop from the measurement, then I remove the wood, unlock the fence and slide it to the left a distance equal to the thickness I want in the cut-off, plus the width of the blade's kerf, and I lock down the fence again. This is when the blade is cutting to the left of the fence, by the way. Then I put the jig on the table up up against the jig's backstop, and I place the piece of wood in front of the blade, snug against the fence. Then I advance the bolt on the jig until it's snug against the edge of the wood, and I lock down the bolt with the wing nut. Done - I can now proceed to cut strips of wood, without having used a caliper or spacer block, and without having to bolt/unbolt the back stop on the jig. I've been able to cut 1/16" thick strips of wood repeatedly this way, and it's pretty accurate. YMMV 😊
0:29 GENIUS!
I love that little jig
Awesome jig Tamar! You really need to install a handle on your garage door, you're gonna hurt your back. And then, next... heat! Hahaha!!!! 😄 GREAT VIDEO as always my friend, take care and have a blessed day. 👍👍☆Jay☆
Thanks! I think heat is more important than the handle!
3x3Custom - Tamar maybe so but a handle is less than 5$.
Silver Grizzly or get fingers pinched between panels
@@3x3CustomTamar I'd say it's time for an automatic garage door opener sponsor to step up!
I watched an old-timer cut a 1/16 strip once. He cut 3/4 of the way through-flipped the board and cut the rest. Ever since then I just do it the way I saw him do it and it’s always worked flawlessly. Cool jig though-I like the attention to perfecting the build.
I've found thin cut jigs online and found good prices for such, but I must say, as a DYI individual, that saves a lot of money and makes sense, I like yours so much better. The wing nut change is also a great idea so thank you for sharing your ingenuity and experience with the rest of us.
Safety is the most important, thank you.
Agreed. You’re welcome!
Well made video and a damn fine jig. I should have made something like this long ago!
Minor improvements ...?
File off any raised lettering on the head of the adjusting bolt. This can often be as much as 0,75mm and put you out by that much.
Also, use an M6 bolt. The thread is 1mm pitch so if for example you need to make a ¾mm adjustment you just give it a ¾ turn...
.
Genius!
It's so much easier to use 1/4-20 bolts. That way, I can make my adjustments in twentyiths of an inch. So if I turn it 3/4 around, it's just shy of one-twenty-seventh of an inch, a measurement that everyone can relate to. 🤪
Such a great idea
Struggled cutting thin strips up until now, brilliant idea keep em coming, well done from the UK.
Thank you so much. I’m going to try this jig. What I like about it is that it’s small & doesn’t use very little wood. I’m hitting the subscribe button. Thanks again.
Great video! Reckon I’ll be making one of these soon! Next video should be of you making a cool handle for the garage door!! 😂😂
Hahaha! That’s not a bad idea!
I think I might need to make one. However, why is the stop block so elaborate? Couldn't it just be glued in place? Does it need to be removable with the knobs for another use? Anyway, keep up the good work.
If it were glued in place you couldn’t slide the jig forward to set the thickness with the bolt next to the blade. So you slide it next to the blade. Set the bolt. Then slide it back and put the stopper on so it locks safely behind the blade.
@@3x3CustomTamar That makes sense. Thanks. :) Keep up the good work.
@@3x3CustomTamar Doh! I had the same question. Very nice!
If you made the stop a bit thinner you could just tip it forward and slide it up to the blade and even though it was high in the rear the miter would still be accurate in the slot as would the distance from the bolt to the blade.
Haha I actually came to the comments section hoping this point was cleared up as I too wondered the same thing.
Simple and effective. Best thin rip jig I have seen. Simply a MUST have.Thanks Tamar !
Awesome! Glad you like it!!
One of the best DIY channels out there. Those videos should cost a fee. If one would only pay 1 ct per view, it would be a win-win for both sides.
Thanks for this great video. This jig i wil make for myself ....
Regards from Germany -- Joerg
Haha thanks so much! The only price I charge is occasionally sitting through an ad.... ha
Hello Tamar: Love your videos. You are amazing and inspiring. I needed a thin strip jig and you provided the perfect solution.
Just have a quick question: Why would you use bolts and knobs for the stopper, if you are not going remove the stopper frequently?
Would it not make sense to just glue and nail/screw the stopper permanently?
Bc you need to remove it to slide it forward to set the bolt
would he easier and cheaper to just screw a tab on the back that can pivot up out of the way? this part seems really overbuilt if it's only purpose is to stop the jig from sliding forward when you push the workpiece thru.
Aaaahhhhhh!!! Great video! DD@@3x3CustomTamar
@@mewmew32 I agree that a much simpler way could be found to keep the jig in place. I was puzzled by the two big knobs. Even so, it's only a design issue. Much respect for Tamar!
What is the purpose of having the stop block removable rather than simply having it screwed into place?
I would say it's removable so you can get the jig up close to the blade to do the initial setup. Then you put the stop block back on so the bolt stays far away from the blade while it's cutting.
Exactly.
Ahhhh. Now I get it.
I just built and tested the jig. Works beautifully! Thanks for the great video.
Awesome
Thank you. I really like watching your safety program.
I’m still learning to trust that the table saw blade will not jump up and bite me. I know it won’t so watching tools at work helps see that they’re not so scary.
Star knobs and long bolts don’t do anything on this jig- I substituted a scrap of 1/4” plywood glued to the back of the jig - hanging down just enough to catch the edge of the table. Next time I’m going to use a featherboard track that expands and locks in the slot (with those star knobs). That way you can position the jig fore-aft if you want.
yeah, I use a featherboard backwards for this, but neat adjustable jig from shop-available parts
The bolts make it removable so you can slide the jig up next to the blade for your measurement, then put the stop on for use.
@@gokblok ahh, makes total sense
Try puttıng a handle on the bottom of the Garage door.
Totally Rocks!!
Or even two. Spaced apart avoids having to bend over.
Trevor Dawson she probably also needs new, heavier springs for counter balance.
@David Espinosa: The door may need springs. I don't think she needs anything
Perhaps she was overstating the resistance to better sell the sponsor's product. I don't know why, but in New Zealand pretty much every garage door is motorized.
ohh yea.. Just like the rest of us,.. building and making like its going outta style but you don't have enough time in your day to hang a handle or strap on your EVERYDAY use garage door. So real. Great work and super video work. Thank You
Haha. It’s always the little things that get ignored 😂
There is a clever trick on the table saw to cut thin strips that are exactly the curf of the blade. You need two scraps of stable material (such as plywood). I suggest using pieces that are larger than 2" wide and at least 12" long. You set your fence to approximately 2" from the blade (needs to be set less than the width of your scrap boards but doesn't need to be an exact distance to work). Now rip both boards. Next, put 1 board up against the fence, push the other board up against the left side of that board, and run them through the saw together. During that cut, no material was removed from the board up against the fence; but exactly the blade curf is removed from the left board. Now you place the board that is one blade curf thinner (the one that was on the left) up against the fence, and any board you want to cut a thin strip out of up against the left side of that board. Now running them through together, it cuts a strip that is exactly one blade curf (out of the left board). Repeat that cut with that same board or any number of boards. If you are really clever, at the start you will have lined up your table saw rule to a number you will remember (say exactly 2"). If you save your special fence board, anytime you want a curf wide strip, set your fence to that number (e.g. exactly 2"), put your special board up against the fence, put a board up against the left edge of your special board and push them through together.
Try to adjust your garage door spring !it will make a huge difference.
Another great video,...and do you know how FRUSTRATING IT IS having 2 table saws(French Table Saws,) and NO ridge/slot/groove(you know the paralelle jobby-doer that all the miter guides rides in.) Add the fact that dato stacks are illegal here(and you couldn't use one anyway because your blades connect to table saw by a bolt(not a nut on a stud,) and you have one frustrated American ex pat wood worker, but the cheese is great here....cheers...rr Normandy
All worth it for the cheese. Ha!
@Gordon Aitchison Thanks, but then, coming from England I'd have to redo the electrics somewhat(the plugs not being the same.) and like I said above(if ever I sell one or both of my two table saws(and one is a combi; table saw, planer, thicknicer, and mortesser, and spindle something or other; scie de table, degauchiseuse, roboteuse, toupie, et mortesser, only really know the names in French, anyway, if I ever sell I'll look it up. Now you can find table saws here with the double groove for more accurate angle cutting. Mine I bought 30 years ago....cheers...rr
Simple modifications..... Why put up with issues you can easily get rid of..... You should try living in the Philippines you can not get anything there.... Built my own table saw from an old fan motor..... And ply wood.... And the ply wood was crap grade.... 3 layers of 1/4 Inch screwed and glued together for the table top that was covered with galvanized sheet..... Built my own screw cutting metal lathes as well...... Anything you need can be built and a lathe builds itself then builds every tool you need
@@jolllyroger1 JR, you should(and maybe you do,) have your own YT Channel! Sounds very interesting, no kidding. Nothing by comparison, 21 years ago, when we bought this 18th century broken down farm in the middle of the poorest part of NOrmandy, there was no toilet, nor running water. Electricity came on a VERY DANGEROUS two fuse box(it was a large barn with small "sleeping" quarters. To be quite honest, any woodworking experience, like so many others, I learned in France, but after college my VERY hands on brothers were afraid to even put a handsaw in my mits for fear I'd lop off vital body parts. Doing what you've done is WAY OUTSIDE my skill level.....Bravo to you mate!....rr Normandy
I'm curious, what is the reason dado stacks are outlawed? Conspiracy by the biscuit, dowel, and domino cabal? 😁
Oh, by the way, that groove thingamabob is called a miter gauge slot or, more commonly, just miter slot. Can't believe you don't have that either. Half the stuff I do involves a miter gauge.
Brilliant! Thanks for this great project!
Thanks! Glad you like it!
Very good . I found last. I search more videos to how to make easy thin strip . . Iam satisfied
Looks great! Why the bolts with the tighteners for the stopper, why not just permanently attach a piece of wood there?
Because you need to be able to slide it towards the blade to set it to the right thickness you want. If it was permanently attached you wouldn’t be able to do that
At 5:14 you can see her slide the jig up to the blade to measure the width of the strip then remove it to attach the back stip
@@3x3CustomTamar Another method to explore would be to put a hinge on the stop block and embed magnets in it. That way you can flip it up when not needed and back down when you do and the magnets will hold in in place.
Sandriell
She explained that her saw's top is not iron, so magnets will not work.
Sandriell I like the hinge idea. Unsure if Magnets would be strong enough to keep it from flipping up then moving up the miter slot. Would be interesting to test out.
Great work! We have similar table saw's so this the prefect version (simple and effective) of this device. Thanks!
Glad you like it! Thanks!
I watch and get inspired by several makers on UA-cam. Colin is one of them. I saw his video and thought the same thing. My table is not cast iron. I can't believe this is the first time I've seen your video!
Thank you so very much for the inspiration!
Awesome! Glad it was helpful!
As always - practical and easy to follow instructions using parts that are cheap and easy to find. Thanks again!
So awesome to hear!
Thanks. Saludos from Salta -Argentina
Great job with that jig... By the way, did anyone else get a Wonder Woman vibe during the advert? 😎
Fantastic idea whoever came up with it, thanks for the thorough video! Cheers, Sean 👍😀
Glad you liked it!
OMFG. I've been trying to cut veneer like strips, needing this way more than the other ideas I had tried. Wow. Garage door demo in the ad was excellent work too
Quite possibly the most useful jig I’ve seen, I know how I’m cutting my splines from now on!
Awesome. Glad you found it useful!
I really appreciate seeing how you use these components to build a jig. The nut and bolt part is brilliant. Thank you!
Awesome
This week I got around to make it just like yours, and it works great! Thank you so much for your plans, it sure makes things a whole lot safer than I had been doing it. Keep up your great videos they are very helpful.
Awesome to hear
I built this today and it worked amazingly well. Thanks for the idea.
Awesome! So happy to hear!
Clear, precise, easy to follow. A joy to watch!
Awesome to hear! Thanks!
That jig looks awesome. Been looking for one of those, just gonna have to build on myself.
Absolutely brilliant. I have 200 4.8m long 32mmx32mm (15.7ft 1.25x1.25 inch) batten's to cut into (16mmx32mm) for a garden fence project and making a lattice fence look. So this "Repeat cutting jig" will really help, because my test cuts just didn't go well lol, as my push sticks kept breaking and keeping the 4.8m lengths straight and against the blade was causing more troubles.
Thank you for sharing
Thank you for the video. It was very well done straight to the point, no wasting time and it is very clear you know your content.
Appreciate the feedback!
This video solved my issue of an easy repeatable thin strip jig. Thanks!😊
I've watched a LOT of thin strip ripping jig videos on UA-cam. Your jig is by FAR the most elegant and easiest to build. It may not have all the bells and whistles of other jigs but is more than adequate for the job. Thanks!!
Glad you think so!
@@3x3CustomTamar Just completed the jig! Once I got it dialed in I tried several different kinds of wood and was only off 2-3/1,000th of an inch--which wasn't even noticeable. Woot!
Oh, I'm definitely getting a wing nut!
@@gpdoyon awesome!
I have absolutely no skill in woodworking but I can tell you're really skilled, which makes this instructional video just perfect. It's a joy to watch to see everything being done perfectly aligned. AND!!! The jig is a great mod to Colin's jig!
Thanks! It’s been useful for sure!
Excellent video. Kudos on giving Colin a nod for the design, I think that's super important. More kudos for a tool that's simple and easy to make that works well with a contractor's saw (I think mine took about 30 minutes but I'm slow). And even more kudos for sharing well made videos.
I realise that you made this ages ago, but it showed up in my feed at the perfect time.
Thank you, rock star!
Awesome!
I look at you from France and I find your work very interesting!
I also invested in a small saw under table thanks to you
Thanks so much!
Professionally Done...A nice, understandable, clear, well-spoken video.... !!!
Thanks for the feedback!
Very timely, I need to cut thin strips for a project I’m working on. This looks safe and very repeatable. You are so good with jigs and fixtures. Thanks for the video!
Glad you like it!
Wonderful quality tools you have. Very professionally made. clean finish
Thank you very much!
Hi from Argentina.
Mereces muchos likes!
Hi!
Colin is cool. Lotsa basic practical ideas. Gonna make one.
What a combination of beauty and talent. Explains so clearly thanks
Great video, thanks for sharing this!
Glad you like it!
Very nice and jig for making thin strips on the table saw.
Nicely explained.
Thanks for sharing
Glad you liked it! Thanks!
Very well done Tamar! Its functional, (should be) pretty easy to make even for us beginners, and inspiring to watch.
So awesome to hear! Glad you liked it!
I watch Colin - good site - and thought I would like to make it,but did not want to buy magnets. Now I don't have to lol Thanks. Watched a guy make a nice looking way over complicated version. This is simple and effective
Yeah. No reason to overcomplicate it! It’s been a great little jig for me
Was just trying to think of a way to cut thin strips to put on plywood edges to do a round over. This is exactly what I need to make, thank you so much!
Glad it was helpful
Great idea, thanks from Barcelona
Hey I've got the same tablesaw, and this jig looks useful. Thanks.
Glad you found it useful!
Oh that's excellent, I am definitely making one, I have been cutting splines and that would make life much easier, great vid!
Awesome!
Very useful video. Thanks for sharing it with us 🙏🏼
Thanks! What a great afternoon project!
Glad you like it!
Really like the videos. I haven’t commented on every video I’ve watched but I wanted to tell you that I think they are well made and informative. As a well “seasoned”carpenter I’m glad to see young people getting into the trades. Keep up the great work.
Glad you like them!
Great tip, many thanks!
Excellent concept and presentation. I just rip with the grippers for thin strips right now. Adding to the jigs playlist!
Awesome. Thanks!
Great jig. I'm going to build one tomorrow for a project constructing blast gates. Thanks.
That jig is sooooooo good thanks :)
Glad you like it!
Nice Jig! Great video! I might try this one. Thanks for sharing
Thanks! Good luck with it! I use it all the time
Very good your project Tamara !!!!
Thanks!
Exactly what I needed!! Very good instructions.
Awesome! Thanks!!
This is really ingenious. I like the way that you use the tools themselves for making measurements. Good shop practices.
👍👍
I've watched every one of your videos and look forward to more.
Awesome! Thanks! I’ll get to work!
Never seen one of those. Thanks. I'm going to make one. I do a lot of small stuff and this will come in handy.
Have fun!
Wow, your videos are great. No nonsense, very informative and straight to the point, that's how I like to watch videos. No pointless ramblings as with most other videos. You've gained a subscriber here.
Awesome. So glad you like it!
That’s a great idea Tamar. I think I’ll have to make one. I use fairly thin strips of wood sometimes for segmented turning work and will occasionally put a small piece of a contrasting color wood in between the segments.
Awesome. I use it all the time!
Loved you video/jig. I made a slight change to avoid adding and removing the stop all the time. Placed a wood insert on end of jig. Cut a slot in piece of wood. Then used a star knob with male threading to attach to jig/wood insert. Made the slot long enough to permit turning it 180 degrees and raising it out of the way when setting thickness and then can rotate & drop it again to act as the stop.
Just "Standing on the shoulders of giants." I know you've done this too. Find someone's idea and make it different/better. I've only been doing woodworking for 2 years and am humbled/amazed at the quality of builds you produce. You give me hope that someday I can produce something pride-worthy. Thank you for what you do.
This is absolutely genius
By far the most useful videos Ive found for a beginner/ novice like myself. Your jigs are easy to make and not over the top but very useful. At least for what I do. 👍
Awesome to hear!
I watched Colen's vid also. Went out a bought a maglock, however, my table saw is not steel either so I'm using it on my drill press but still wanted this jig so bad! Thanks for this magnificant idea. I'm brand new to woodworking and the UA-cam woodworking vids you and others produce has helped me so much to find my way. Thanks again!!
Glad you liked it!
I just thought I'd tell you are one smart cookie you come with some good stuff
Ha. Thanks
That's awesome. I have the same saw and cut thin strips all the time so gonna make me one! Thanks
Awesome! Let me know how it goes!
Very useful jigs, you are a really professional carpenter.besides your attractiveness
Good workmanship !! Clear delivery !!
Thanks! Appreciate it!
I so love your videos. Thanks!
Thanks so much!
Tamar, that is the best thin rip jig I have seen made. I will be using your design as I have a Makita saw bench that is not cast iron, but Aluminium, so I can't use magnets. Thanks for the design. Cheers from Australia!!
Simple yet effective. Nice job again.
Thanks!
Great video! Thanks for sharing.
Thanks! Glad you liked it!
Clever little jig, nice...
Glad you liked it. Thanks!
