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.
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.
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.
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!
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.
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!!
@@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!
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
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.
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.
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...
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. 🤪
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.
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!
@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
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
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.
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☆
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 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.
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?
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.
@@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!
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.
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!
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!!
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.
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.
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
@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.
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
@@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 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.
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
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
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!
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.
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
Morning coffee with Tamar! Clean and simple- love it! (Heads up on the garage door-BE CAREFUL!!!!- in closing my garage door one night just like you did in the video...,I was in a hurry as we were all going out to dinner..my finger got pinched in between 2 of the panels as it was closing... .imagine stepping on a cherry tomato...never made it to the restaurant but did spend a couple of hours at the ER.
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!
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.
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
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.
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. 👍
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!!
I'm a little late to the game, but this totally solved a problem I had in my shop and saved me from having to dish out close to $30 at my local Rockler. Thanks for the video.
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.
I have had a similar version of this, that I made myself, for some time but it was not really that good. I have been looking for a home made version on UA-cam for a while but just could not find one, just adverts for expensive manufactured options. Then I found your video. Thank you
So, should I ever get to the point of building a cedar-strip canoe, this would be an excellent jig for the cutting process. I so appreciate this idea. Thank you so much!
I was literally just at Woodcraft looking at a pre-made one of these, but decided i didn't need it THAT much. But i have all the supplies already to make this one, so i know what my next project is!! :) Thank you Tamar!
I subscribed to your channel for a couple of reasons. Your thin strip jig, and aligning table saw blade. Neither of which have I seen on other sites. Keep up the good work, looking forward to more wood shop videos.

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

Morning coffee with Tamar! Clean and simple- love it! (Heads up on the garage door-BE CAREFUL!!!!- in closing my garage door one night just like you did in the video...,I was in a hurry as we were all going out to dinner..my finger got pinched in between 2 of the panels as it was closing... .imagine stepping on a cherry tomato...never made it to the restaurant but did spend a couple of hours at the ER.
Ouch....
Very useful jigs, you are a really professional carpenter.besides your attractiveness
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!
Clear, precise, easy to follow. A joy to watch!
Awesome to hear! Thanks!
Wish I had found this before cutting my thumb, not off, but got me to searching. Found yours and I’m on the way get supplies. Thank you.
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 is so smart and simple . . . 500 points for that one !
Like internet points?! Yes! 😂😂
Professionally Done...A nice, understandable, clear, well-spoken video.... !!!
Thanks for the feedback!
I really like you videos, they make me think, about the project and ideas for it. Thank you.
Awesome to hear!
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
Very good your project Tamara !!!!
Thanks!
Tamar, that's great work. The magswitch idea by Colin, was a good one. However, yours is easier to make and so much cheaper, yet just as effective. 🙂
Glad you like it!
Great little jig Tamar! Thanks for sharing the video with us.👍😎JP
Thanks so much JP!
Your very welcome Tamar! 😎
That jig is sooooooo good thanks :)
Glad you like it!
Your presentation as always is very clear & idiot proof ..Great job...a very useful jig too...Thank You
Very good . I found last. I search more videos to how to make easy thin strip . . Iam satisfied
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!
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 built this today and it worked amazingly well. Thanks for the idea.
Awesome! So happy to hear!
Very simple and effective jig. Thanks!
Glad you like it!
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 realise that you made this ages ago, but it showed up in my feed at the perfect time.
Thank you, rock star!
Awesome!
Great video. I love the fast pace and no wasted time. May be I'll make a similar jig for myself.
Awesome. Have fun with it!
Sure, just ignore the 1 minute advertising.
Great jig. I'm going to build one tomorrow for a project constructing blast gates. Thanks.
Awesome jig!!! I've been doing kind of the same thing but by C-clamping a setup block, I like your idea much better. Thanks!
Awesome
I'm a little late to the game, but this totally solved a problem I had in my shop and saved me from having to dish out close to $30 at my local Rockler. Thanks for the video.
Awesome!! Glad it saved you some money!!
Simple yet effective. Nice job again.
Thanks!
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.
I learnt something new today! (Not sure when I'll get to practically use it, but always good to learn new stuff!)👍🏻
Awesome
I just thought I'd tell you are one smart cookie you come with some good stuff
Ha. Thanks
Nice video, nice jig, nice presenter. Aced it.
Thanks! Glad you liked it
I had forgotten how enjoyable your videos were, because I hadn't watch for a few months.
Awesome! Thanks for the feedback! I’ll work on some more! Ha!
Excellent concept and presentation. I just rip with the grippers for thin strips right now. Adding to the jigs playlist!
Awesome. Thanks!
that's a really useful jig and a nice demonstration film. Now I'm having a 'why didn't I think of that' moment.
Ha! Thanks!
Love the kiddo's artwrok on your bench!
☺️
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!
That is such a great idea, thanks for sharing.
Glad you like it!
Use the same 3-n-1 on my garage doors. Excellent sponsor.
It worked so well!
I have had a similar version of this, that I made myself, for some time but it was not really that good. I have been looking for a home made version on UA-cam for a while but just could not find one, just adverts for expensive manufactured options. Then I found your video. Thank you
So, should I ever get to the point of building a cedar-strip canoe, this would be an excellent jig for the cutting process. I so appreciate this idea. Thank you so much!
Haha yup!
great vid and no nonsense. fast and accurate thanks
Glad you liked it!
I was literally just at Woodcraft looking at a pre-made one of these, but decided i didn't need it THAT much. But i have all the supplies already to make this one, so i know what my next project is!! :) Thank you Tamar!
Awesome! Have fun making it!
I subscribed to your channel for a couple of reasons. Your thin strip jig, and aligning table saw blade. Neither of which have I seen on other sites. Keep up the good work, looking forward to more wood shop videos.
Awesome! I’ll get to work. Ha
Brilliant. Thanks so much and all the best.
Thanks!
I'm just now seeing your videos. thanks for the jig it helps a lot.
Glad you like it!
Thanks! What a great afternoon project!
Glad you like it!
