I’m 60 newly retired and new to woodworking. I have realized that jigs will be my best friends for this new endeavor. You explain the making and use of these jigs easy to understand. My body and wife thank you. 😊
I can't quite pinpoint what it is about this lady. But I really like her. She is the perfect combination of competence, humility and no-nonesenseness with more than a sprinkle of brilliance. New favourite wood person.
The thin strip jig was brilliant. I've been a woodworker for 40 years, and that was the best version I've seen. And your take on the adjustable dado jig was also great. Merci!
Hello, my name is Abdullah from the State of Kuwait, and I am a carpentry enthusiast, not a professional. I watched the video and liked the method, and it was very excellent. I also liked the simple and understandable explanation. Thank you and I wish you safety and security my regards
Very easy to follow and useful jigs AND finally, a woodworker who understands that viewers don't want to hear the high pitched whine of the saw every time time you make a cut. Thank you for that small but appreciated detail.
That adjustable dado jig is awesome! I've never seen anyone make a dado jig with this design. I think woodworkers are used to adjustable jigs that use T-track, keyhole slots, or dovetail slots of some sort to create parallel adjustable rails. Your use of pivot points to create an adjustable-width slot with parallel edges is a less common technique, but it's perfect for this particular application. I also like your thin-strip jig! It feels both safer and also easier to use than some other methods for cutting thin strips.
Impressive video. I use the thin strip jig at a slight angle from 0” thick to 1/2” like a taper jig an inch and a half tall, and make killer shims out of 2x4 and 2x6 drops.
I have watched tons of YT video on woodworking for years and haven't got a clue how I missed yours until I saw your clip on mitre saw tips a few days ago, and felt I should say something. This time I feeI don't have anything more to say, because your previous admirers had said it all below. The only thing left for me to say is to thank you for making me feel good about woodworking again .🎉
The dado and keyhole jigs are coming to my shop.Great vid,and so nice to watch someone just get stuck in and make stuff without all the fluff and dramatics.Great channel
Talk about divine timing! I'm gearing up for a project that is made up of LOTS! of thin strips, and I was debating how best to cut them. I built you jig, and it worked like a champ - Thanks!!!!
Just came across your videos today for the first time and like another person pointed out, your videos are so user-friendly and accessible. Of the ones I have watched so far, I really enjoy how concise your instructions are and how you avoid wordiness and add just the right amount of humility with a wonderful down to earth attitude.
Thank you for actually linking to the tools you used. In particular, thanks for linking to the keyhole bit you used. I've watched several videos on making keyhole slots and jigs and you're the only one (so far) that I've found included that information. For those of us (new and experienced) who were looking for some exact specifications, that is extremely helpful. Thanks! 🙂
Thank you for the tips. As being disabled, I find very worried at times using Power Tools. I am trying out a few Hacks/Tips from others but some of yours are far easier to make and safer to operate. My wife always worries when I use power tools e.g. Table Saw, Circular Saw, Router, etc., so finding the right jig that I can handle without aggravating my pain and/or to hurt myself. So, some of these ideas seems the dealbreaker for me to persuade her to let me use those tools without making her worry. I believe, Our Life is a Shared Experience. Remember, *_Life_* is *_Short_* so, *_Live Long_* and *_Prosper_* ... 🖖🖖🖖 Thank you again for the tips and support....
Thanks for another super useful video, Marie. As others have pointed out, that dado jig is pure genius in its simplicity and versatility. I so appreciate the clarity and accessibility of your videos. You're a natural teacher.
I just subscribed based on this one video. Some of the best ideas I’ve seen yet. Looking forward to seeing more. Thank you I also wanted to share something I accidentally realized the other day. On occasion we have to pick up a bunch of nuts and bolts or other pieces of metal. A tedious task at best. Take a magnetic metal dish that people use to hold nuts and bolts while working on a project. Separate the dish from the magnet. Put the dish over the pieces of metal you want to pick up. Place the magnet over the dish and pick up the pieces. Just separate the dish from the magnet and the metal will fall off into your receptacle.
Built the jig today and ran a few trial runs, works great. Cut a 1/4" & 1/8" strips. Cutting all parts tomorrow and this will speed up the process, but most important Safety. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience. By the way, my family and I were in Montreal a few weeks ago. First time, beautiful city, used the Metro to get around. Regards Ernest
I have watched a lot of videos of other people and must say that the way you explain the way you build the likes of jigs to be the best,glad I found your site.
Sweet! I have seen these Jiggs demonstrated on UA-cam before. Your approach and delivery is delightful. In your presentation its not about you, rather it's about the Jiggs. Thank you again. The dado was my favorite.
Brilliant! This is what highschool shop class should be about. Instead of saying it's too dangerous or risky, or have hours of safety videos, have students brainstorm ways to achieve cuts by designing jigs that mitigate risks, as DIYM designs have done!
Wow! clear, concise and super informative. Very professional video & audio; a pleasure to watch. I am a 71 year old jack of all trades who watches many DIY UA-cam videos. (I love to lean) Normally I don't subscribe but DIY Montreal is now my 1st & only. Will forward to my grandkids as you are also a great role model.
I wanted to say thanks. I have been cutting Dados on my table saw with a decent amount of success, although the grooves are never perfect. I am building a cabinet 46" high and 24" deep and I was not thrilled about using the table saw in a crosscut fashion, so I built your dado jig. Holy $#%$#! It works perfectly! Dare I say idiot proof? Thanks. Enjoy watching you and wish you all of the success!
Some of the best user friendly jigs I’ve seen on UA-cam. As a newbie woodworker I’ve watched thousands of woodworking videos to gather ideas & know how. The simplicity of that dado jig is amazing. Thanks for possibly the most useful woodworking video I’ve seen on UA-cam.
Thank You! Thin strip, dado, vertical cutting and key hole jigs are what I need to make. l have an old Delta table saw, back when riving knives were not a thing. I always look for safer ways to cut other than my table saw sled. Thanks again.
Your suggested "jig" for cutting thin/narrow strips is definitely the best by far!!! I am using such jig to create the runners for table saw crosscut sleds, as well as to create my own "MATCHFIT Track Hardware" with 14 degree bevels. (This time, using 8mm thick MDF sheet) Thank you for your great idea!
I need to make more jigs. Just to touch on that circular saw one, I made a 8ft one for cutting up sheet goods. Man-o-man it's more handy than a shirt with a pocket!!
Very impressive. I’m 71 a self taught woodworker. Thank You for your clear explanation of everything you did. Liked the fact that you didn’t use background music. Your jigs and tips are fairly simple which makes them better for all levels of woodworkers. Your narrative was clear and straight to the point. 1st watch and I am subscribing. Greetings from Maine
I am absolutely besoted with your simple but informative presentations. There are so many others but not one is at this level. Thank you indeed and keep them comming.
I love your simple, practical, and useful jig ideas and plan to use them in my shop. 😅And your video editing is perfect. No annoying music or wasted talking. You just get to the point clearly and concisely. Much appreciated.
I'm not a woodworker, but in time I'd like to acquire some of these power tools. As a complete novice, your videos are helpful because they are simple enough for me to understand, but also introduce me to techniques and safety concerns I wouldn't be thinking about. Thanks for sharing your experience here on youtube!
I don’t have any woodworking tools and I don’t have a workshop but I find this video so satisfying to watch. I can understand all the steps so easily. I especially want to try the dado jig.. such a perfect fit at the end. My OCD inner self is so happy to see that 😆
I spent most of today watching a list of random videos on assorted things to do in my workshop, and yours was the best! Every one of your jigs is now on my To-do List for making my tiny workshop work better. Thanks!
I will definitely make the dado jig - very straight forward design and way easier to build than most of the other I have seen on UA-cam. Thanks for sharing!
Marie, I’ve watched so many woodworking videos but have never left a comment. Having just come across yours I felt compelled to leave a comment to say thank you. Such good clear content, and as others have said no stupid added video clips that are just distracting.
Thank you. Overall-best build-your-own circular saw guide I've seen to date, with the two edges, no need to measure offsets when using, and easy to clamp without deep-jaw clamps.
Very Good explanations! I was wondering how I wanted to rip some thin strips just last month. I've covered the topic numerous times, but with busiy life, I forget what I prefer, when....Thank you so very much for your visiting these jigs in a great depth in detail. Bravo!!
Those are all great jigs, Marie. I've seen the thin strip jig before but not with your added safety feature. I think that's my favorite one. (no hexagons? lol) Bill
Enjoyed the video and your instruction style. Clean and simple. The dado jig was genius. Thanks. I was less enthusiastic about the thin strip jig, however. You never showed how you consistently reset the fence after each cut. Unless I missed something, it relies on repeatedly sliding the jig again the blade with exactly the same pressure, time after time. I will not be able to do that precisely. I doubt most people could. Thanks.
OK. I went back and watched again and now see what you mean. Your right, no fence reset. Thanks for explaining. I think you'd need some downward pressure to the top of the board you're ripping to make sure it didn't move out from under the jig, toward the blade. Putting pressure on the side of the board, after it passes the edge of the blade, is a no no.
I have been researching to start my own workshop and I have to say you are just amazing, every detail I see in your videos is new, safe and very handy. Thank you
The dado jig is simple and brilliant. I've been a woodworker longer than I care to admit to. I've concluded that you and your idea are PDA ( pretty darn awesome ). Thanks for sharing your ideas.
I love your simple, precise and concise explanations of the steps you take to complete each task. But most of all, I love the fact that you do this in an un-pretentious manner. I am definitely a fan of your posts. Brava
Hi thanks for posting these videos, I have just built my workshop and am currently insulating it. Came across your fabulous video. Perfectly executed with fantastic results yet not overly complicated for a less experienced woodworker. i now have another 113 videos of yours to watch. 👍👏🏻👍👏🏻👍👏🏻
Like your dado jig. Been using saw guides like this for decades. Only thing I’d add is use thinner plywood for the base so you don’t give up depth of cut. With 1/4” base you can rip 2x parallel or tapered.
I thought all the jigs were great. I've seen variations elsewhere on most of them but you explained very easily how to make them. Thank you. Keep producing content. I like the pace you presented things at.
I really like the Thin strip jig and the Vertical cutting jig. The Vertical one will come in handy because I was asked to make a American flag frame and it calls for a 66 degree cut and this looks like the best way to do it. Thanks for the ideas and I will keep watching for more great stuff. God Bless you and keep you safe
Your thin strip jig is really an elegant solution. And I've gone through a half-dozen versions of the same type circular saw guide (started at 10 and now I'm going on 70), so this section was old home week for me. I do dados either with a blade stack or (usually) hand tools. The infernal screech machine (electric router) pretty much stays on the shelf. Your tenoning jig is perfect! NOTE TO NEWBIES: This woman is the real deal! This old wood geezer just subscribed.
That dado jig is brilliant! I'll make that one for sure. Other ones I've seen are way more complicated and some require a specific bushing/bit/router setup to work. This one's universal! One addition could be a piece on one of the long parts at a 90° angle, so that you can butt it up against the workpiece and get it square that way. If you add a fence to one of the long parts, you could also use it with a bushing to make mortices!
I have the same Bosch miter saw and notices the "hood" you built for it. Do you have plans for it? Bought your polygon plans and have built it. Working very nicely!!
Sometimes I’m more impressed with the jigs wood and metal workers make l than the work that will be created with them. There’s a problem and you solve it with simplicity and accuracy/ precision
Kudos for the video and for the brilliant thin strip jig. All I own is a tablesaw and a coumpound saw to make cutting boards with. Maybe someday a jointer and planer will be in my budget but not now. This thin strip gig now replaces a half a dozen I made prior that will not be used anymore. Thanks again for sharing this.
Thank you ! This vid is so inspiring❗️I’m 50+ old lady yay starting woodworking as a hobby. I have not bought many tops . The router is so intimidating. With the jig you made - you Mae it loo simple. I’m going to order one. Thanks again- I just subscribed t your channel.
Marie... that dado jig idea is genius. Not sure why it never occurred to me though I'm greatful to you for sharing it. Keep it up. We're counting on you.
I’m 60 newly retired and new to woodworking. I have realized that jigs will be my best friends for this new endeavor. You explain the making and use of these jigs easy to understand. My body and wife thank you. 😊
Your video is exactly what a video should be. Very straight to the point, simple and no silly, stupid jokes. Keep the videos coming. EXCELLENT!
I. don't mind silly jokes.
I can't quite pinpoint what it is about this lady. But I really like her. She is the perfect combination of competence, humility and no-nonesenseness with more than a sprinkle of brilliance. New favourite wood person.
You’re an amazing communicator, carpenter, videographer. It’s all clear, clean and inspiring.
I truly agree, again thank ya most kindly for your time n effort to make these videos
The thin strip jig was brilliant. I've been a woodworker for 40 years, and that was the best version I've seen. And your take on the adjustable dado jig was also great. Merci!

It's even easier to buy the undersize router bits made for plywood
@@jimhammell187 .... very constructive comment there, Jimbo...

Great video. Super useful jigs. There's a reason why pros use jigs, templates and clamps. Precision. Mahalo for sharing! 🙂🙏
Thanks!
Very new woodworker here….wow, this is amazing! There are 2 I will be building in the next week
Really fantastic jigs, Marie! Thanks a bunch for all the tips! 😃
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Thank you! You too!
I spent most of today watching a list of random videos on assorted things to do in my workshop, and yours was the best! Every one of your jigs is now on my To-do List for making my tiny workshop work better. Thanks!
Good stuff. thank you. Spend more time watching videos than doing stuff but when I take the tarp off of my workbench I will be ready using your ideas.
I will definitely make the dado jig - very straight forward design and way easier to build than most of the other I have seen on UA-cam. Thanks for sharing!
You're a Genius. Seriously, that dado jig was next level, off the chain, genius.
Marie, I’ve watched so many woodworking videos but have never left a comment. Having just come across yours I felt compelled to leave a comment to say thank you. Such good clear content, and as others have said no stupid added video clips that are just distracting.

Can't always have Hexagons, Bill! ;)
You are wonderful. I have had bad experiences with kickback in several industries. I am very glad for sombody to help me work smarter.
I’ve been a wood worker for 60 years and I’m always open to new ideas, good jigs👍
Enjoyed the video and your instruction style. Clean and simple.

The beauty of the thin rip jig is that you don't need to reset the fence. The piece that gets cut is between the blade and the jig.

Hi thanks for posting these videos, I have just built my workshop and am currently insulating it.
Came across your fabulous video.
Perfectly executed with fantastic results yet not overly complicated for a less experienced woodworker.
i now have another 113 videos of yours to watch.
👍👏🏻👍👏🏻👍👏🏻
Like your dado jig. Been using saw guides like this for decades. Only thing I’d add is use thinner plywood for the base so you don’t give up depth of cut. With 1/4” base you can rip 2x parallel or tapered.
I thought all the jigs were great. I've seen variations elsewhere on most of them but you explained very easily how to make them. Thank you. Keep producing content. I like the pace you presented things at.
I added a 1/2" sacrificial board under the base board. Then make several "quick change adapters" in 1/2", 3/4", and 1 1/2". Works like a champ.
Wow, that thin rip jig is so good! Simple to make, and perfectly effective.
Handy jigs Marie. It's a serious art form working in a compact space. A reality for a lot of folks. Good job.
These jigs are great. Thanks so much for taking the time to make the video. I'm anxious to view your other videos
This was awesome! I'm a notorious cheapskate and always looking for ways to make my own jigs and tools. Thanks for this, I just subscribed.
Never seen that adjustable dado jig, thank you for that!
You bet!
Good one, Marie. Well, five good ones. Some I already use, but some are new to me, and they look useful.
Amazing!!!!! You're the first person that I have watched that I didn't fall asleep watching. Great job. Keep up the great work.
I really like the Thin strip jig and the Vertical cutting jig. The Vertical one will come in handy because I was asked to make a American flag frame and it calls for a 66 degree cut and this looks like the best way to do it. Thanks for the ideas and I will keep watching for more great stuff. God Bless you and keep you safe
I loved all of them, specially the slotted bit jig!
I've watched several videos on building jigs, I have to say these are the most useful I've seen.
Great job!
Your thin strip jig is really an elegant solution. And I've gone through a half-dozen versions of the same type circular saw guide (started at 10 and now I'm going on 70), so this section was old home week for me.

Thanks for the newbie tip. This is the first video of hers I've seen. I'm gonna subscribe, too. 😊
Great jig ideas. Liked the keyhole jig and the adjustable dado jig.
Glad you liked it!
I like that 'thin strip' jig. It's been awhile since I made any jigs, so I made this one. Works great for ripping scrap for making small crates.
You make a great tutor Marie. Thanks for the video
Thank you, appreciate it!
That dado jig is brilliant! I'll make that one for sure. Other ones I've seen are way more complicated and some require a specific bushing/bit/router setup to work. This one's universal!
One addition could be a piece on one of the long parts at a 90° angle, so that you can butt it up against the workpiece and get it square that way.
If you add a fence to one of the long parts, you could also use it with a bushing to make mortices!
I have the same Bosch miter saw and notices the "hood" you built for it. Do you have plans for it? Bought your polygon plans and have built it. Working very nicely!!
Just found this channel, watched 'til the end, good safe jigs. Thank you!!
Sometimes I’m more impressed with the jigs wood and metal workers make l than the work that will be created with them.
There’s a problem and you solve it with simplicity and accuracy/ precision
Kudos for the video and for the brilliant thin strip jig. All I own is a tablesaw and a coumpound saw to make cutting boards with. Maybe someday a jointer and planer will be in my budget but not now. This thin strip gig now replaces a half a dozen I made prior that will not be used anymore. Thanks again for sharing this.
Thanks for the info! I like the simple and straight forward technique.
Thank you ! This vid is so inspiring❗️I’m 50+ old lady yay starting woodworking as a hobby. I have not bought many tops . The router is so intimidating. With the jig you made - you Mae it loo simple. I’m going to order one. Thanks again- I just subscribed t your channel.
All those jig are simple thanks for sharing such a great idea 💡 😀 👍 👏
I've seen variations of a few of these; but yours seem more strait forward. Respect for the quality content.
