I am a woodworker and woodworking teacher. Most of my students suffer from autism spectrum disorder. Your approach demonstrates the beauty of woodworking as a way to learn problem-solving, geometry, and arithmetic in fun and natural ways. Your clarity, enthusiasm, simple techniques, and smile are wonderful guideposts in my teaching. Thank you, Tamara.
I'm new to woodworking having bought a 115-year old home in the rural PacNW and there is literally NO ONE within 150 miles that is skilled in finish carpentry let alone someone who understands the fine ART of woodworking. Anyway, so I've had to learn the craft and bought $$$$ worth of equipment and tools. I've watched a LOT of UA-cam videos on a variety of subjects, how-to's and operational tutorials. This is the 5th time I've received your video feed and every time-I get everything I need to know in the most concise, plain and direct manner over the hundreds of others I've slogged through. Some UA-camrs are either long-winded, goofy/silly (for "entertainment" purposes), have obnoxious music in the background, or just don't/can't explain things as well. Good job! I'm Subscribed!
I've used other (10" saws) previously and was pretty surprised with the speed and cutting ability of this Dewalt saw.I have bolted mine to a table to minimize movement which I highly recommend.This is a Great saw ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxPeGkHOMe05FySypTOvYumxMn-xi39oRe with a light to see your cutting line (not a laser line).I'd recommend this saw fro anyone looking to upgrade from a 10" miter saw.
I hope you realize how many projects you have saved across the globe with your problem solving. Lots of amazing woodworkers out there, but you have a unique ability to explain a problem and how to solve it that makes sense to normal people. Thank you for your content.
A week or so ago I was trying to cut some 60 degree miters on my table saw (ok, actually 30 degrees, but you know what I mean). I have the Incra V27 miter gauge and I can swing it that far, but since I'm making the cut at the end of the fence, and not through it, it places the workpiece in a very precarious position on the edge of the table before making the cut. That night I was browsing UA-cam and saw your video in my feed. Bam! The thumbnail was all I needed to see to know how to solve my problem. My first idea was to cut a 30 degree wedge and then set my miter gauge to 30 degrees and I'd have my 60 degree cut. That proved to be difficult to handle safely. That's when I discovered that if I hold the workpiece perpendicular to the face of the miter gauge (set at 30 degrees), I'd get my desired 60 degree cut. I clamped a piece of 2x2 to the fence then clamped the workpiece to the 2x2 and I could safely push the workpiece through the blade and get my cut. With all the clamps, there was no shortage of handles to hold on to, to keep my hands away from the blade. This is a great trick to have in your "bag of tricks". Just add an angle to your angle to get the unreachable angle.
Thank you so much for your video! I’m trying to build another project that requires a 60° cut and just didn’t know how to do it. But you clearly showed exactly how to do it in detailed way. I appreciate this so much. Again thank you.
one of the better, even best demo vids i have seen in a long time. clear explanation, simple and concise explained by a person who clearly knows her stuff.
I made a similar jig for my 7.25" Mitre saw so I could cut 15 Deg Angles. But I've upgraded to a 10" slider. I will make a new jig with those 5 deg slots in the jig. Great idea. Thanks for sharing.
I could listen to you all day long, your jigs and explanations are so precise and detailed, I have made a few of your jigs and learned so much from you. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and expertise with us! 👍💕
Thank you Tamar, for this terrific video! It's clear, simple, and easy to follow. I have been making picture frame molding for the inside of wainscotting, and I needed a number of pieces with one end at 66 1/2 degrees (and the other 23 1/2). I tried free handing it the quick & dirty way, with a 45 deg block like most videos show. Things were going fine, and then on the last cut I must have moved a tiny drop and the end of the molding just fragmented like an explosion. It really scared me although my hand was no where near it. I immediately stopped and made your jig, and it feels MUCH safer. I had also cut the vertical parts too tall for my clamps so I just cut off a bit off the top and corner once it was fully assembled. One thought on the clamping, I found that clamping to the fence tends to pull the molding upward. I might to clamp to the base, maybe using Milescraft 4009 Fence clamps to make it more secure. Again, advice to the reader: If you are trying to cut extreme angles without the jig, its really dangerous! It may be because of the extreme angle, but the blade teeth seem to be more likely to grab the piece and fling around, and its VERY hard to keep it flat and tight with your fingers so close to the blade. Make this jig and you'll be good. Thanks for maker my project safer!!
The timing on this video is perfect. My son gave me what I thought would be an impossible project. He wants me to make LARGE wood versions of gamer dice that go from 4 sides (pyramid) 6, 8, 10, 12, and 20 sides. Some of the angles will be ridiculous! This jig will allow me to attempt the project with at least consistent result. Thank you!
I'm setting up my new compound miter saw and have been thinking about a safe way to cut angles over 60 degrees. I thought "someone must have done this before." and I was pleasantly surprised that your video was the first result when I searched for 'miter saw extreme angle'. Solid video and jig/clamp design. Thank you!
I haven't had too many occasions where I needed to cut such a drastic angle but I can see this is a great idea. Obviously more accurate than just holding the workpiece and trying to cut on a marked line. And a lot safer too.
I am building 4 Interment flag cases for my dad's funeral and tried a jig on the tablesaw to get the 22.5 for the triangles. Talk about a pain! Then I saw your video. I made your jig and boom! 22.5 perfect angles! Thank you so much!
Awesome! Great solution to cutting scarf joints for a guitar neck since the blade (mine) can only protrude 3.5" and the lumber will be greater/wider. Thanks!
I used to have a set of triangles of varying degrees that would be added together and put against the back fence to make odd angles. But your jig is so much better and safer. My fingers and I thank you!
What a way of thinking, I like the way you create your own jigs to facilitate the work and inspire your followers to do the same with whatever they do, thanks Tamar.
You are quickly becoming one of my favorite channels to watch. I set my alarm to let me know when you put out a new one so I don't miss anything. Thanks for sharing. I learn something new every time I watch you.
If during the build process - like before you glued on the fences - you struck an arc on the base you could use a suitable sized Forster bit to drill a few holes large enough to give you a view of your saw markings. Just a few holes would not compromise the stage but would allow you to more confidently set your angle. Then your score marks would provide a nice "double check" of your setup.
I noticed you cut those angle reference lines on a sliding compound mitre saw. I have just a regular compound mitre saw. How would mark those reference lines on a regular compound mitre saw? I love how detailed you are in your instructions.
You really have a lot of practical advice and information on this channel, and I bet it helps a lot of people. Most of the people watching these videos don't have tons of experience, and you are able to explain what you're doing and why in very simple terms. Wow 656K subscribers this channel must be very successful, well deserved keep up the great content.
JLR Workshop- Tamar, this is a great video, that will help with tighter angle cuts, and wider cuts as well with a little ingenuity. As far as cutting through the base, most sliding miter saws have a depth of cut adjustment screw to keep that from happening! Keep those vids coming!
Can we have more of this type of show I have a limited number of machines with limited range of use your ideas are always make them more useful and means I don't have to buy yet another machine but end up with better results. Thanks for your inspiration.
Hi, Tamar, At first I did not like it at all, because I know how dangerous such a cut is. When you explained it, I became a fan of your Jig, so you convinced me and now I'll will use it to. Thanks for sharing. As always, I like to watch your video's , you are my number one female woodworker. Keep it safe, it is not over yet. Willy from Belgium. 😷😷😷
Well, I NEEDED this for my own safety, so I built it. I’ll be using this jig on an upcoming project. After previously “free handing” an acute angle cut I could sense how dangerous that was, and clamping to my miter saw in those situations just didn’t seem feasible. So thankful that I subscribed and then found this great video. Still have all of my fingers.
That was SO SO simple and just brilliant! Your tips and information has really helped in improving my (sometimes sad, sometimes funny but always safe) woodworking skills. Thanks so much, keep up the great work !
Great jig Tamar. For years I've been cutting a 45 whenever I need to make an acute cut and sticking it somewhere in the shop to use for next time. Then I forget where I put it and cut another 45. This jig is much more stable (i.e. safer) and I can hang it up with my other jigs (Cut a hole with a Forstner bit at the top of the V.) Really like the way you demonstrate everything and explain what to do in different eventualities. Thank you!!!
Excellent as usual Tamara, thank you. You didn’t point out that it also works as a zero clearance cut which is another great advantage to the jig. Exceptional, thank you
Nice jig! I must admit I've always gone for quick and dirty versions of that jig (often dangerous too) so you've inspired me to build a jig like yours! Any boatbuilders out there; you've just got yourself a scarphing jig!
I love the Freud D1244X blade on my 12 inch miter saws, I own three 12" miter saws because I was a contractor. The saws between the three are different brands but they all are very precise. Great tutorial, blessings from Israel,שבת שלום.
Nice video ! I made a similar jig for making 5-point stars (72 degrees at the tips). Instead of a wooden fence with triangular supports, I used an aluminium 90-degree profile : the advantage is that there are no supports in the way of the clamp. Also, I placed the profile about 10cm / 4 inches from the back of the saw to facilitate the cutting of thicker wood (my miter saw isn‘t as big as the one in the video).
Well, " FRIEND" THAT IS TOTALLY AWESOME. YOU ROCK GIRL. Thank you for sharing your experience and design. I really appreciate it and think that you did an excellent job explaining it. Looking forward to more videos. This is going to be a great improvement over other designs. You certainly put a lot of thought into your designing jigs., 🙂
I recently did a project requiring some off angles, and I felt like I was back in HS trigonometry class trying to figure everything out, and then making one off jigs to cut, and then questioning, and re-questioning my math, and... What I'm getting at is, something like this would have been useful, and I wish I had seen this video BEFORE I did that project. Not sure why YT didn't show it to me sooner. I have hit the 🔔. You are like the third channel now I didn't get a notification on a video, and found older content later.
I'll definitely build the part tomorrow. That fits perfectly, because I'll have to cut a lot of such angles for a project in the near future. Thank you for this trick.
If you continue making guitars and decide to make your own neck, you can do the scarf joint for the headstock angle with this jig. It's a cool idea for this jig.
Whoa! That is a neat jig! Enjoyed your geometry approach…fond memories of high school math half a century ago. The greatest value of your videos for me are the techniques. The jig build had a ton of cool ideas. For example using your combination square on the underside to find the line for the brads on the 45 degree fence. Thanks for making these videos, I appreciate the time you invest.
For sure you are still number 1 in my trip to get better. Just wondering about these angle cuts. Would it be safer to do this type cut on the Table Saw? so,, also I'm wondering why I haven't been getting your videos as I have been a long time subscriber.
Hi Tamara, as luck has it, I just managed to purchase the exact DeWalt double bevel sliding miter saw that you have. I got it on sale at HD with a free heavy duty saw stand. I just put everything together yesterday and I love it. Since I just saw your video on the angle jig, I can't wait to make one and try it out. Thanks again 👍 Ps, I also love your 6-1- universal trim router jig, glad I bought it.
This is awesome! A few years ago when I was trying to build a guitar from scratched I needed to cut the scarf joint on the neck for the headstock and we ended up using a miter saw. It was super sketchy and thankfully came out okay, but I sure could have used a jig like this!
Good jig suggestion for seeing angles on saw find radius of table and bandsaw that radius for pattern take this template and mount it to base ( this will have to be done before any fences are attached ) find location of angle marks on saw and rout a window in base this will allow you to view angles on left hand side of saw.
I enjoy your videos. Thank you for all you bring to the “makers” world. I signed up for Fetch but unfortunately I didn’t see where I could put in the 3X3 Custom to take advantage of your offer. Perhaps some instructions for people unfamiliar with the sight would be helpful. Again, thank you for what you do.
Just got my first saw and was scratching my head trying to figure out how to cut over 45 degrees. This tutorial was amazing. I know what I’m making next 😊
An expansion of this idea could be jig double the width with an opposite fence @45 degrees on the other side of the blade. That’s more for acute angles with trim-as I’m a Trim Carpenter by trade. I saw a jig made by a Kizen Enterprises on Finish Carpentry TV that did a similar thing, but it’s $250-$350 and made from aluminum. This is a great idea and will barely cost you anything beyond what your project is budgeted for already. I’m inspired by you, Tamar. Great job, as usual!

Glad you liked that!
That's great. Thank you ! Other videos I've seen about this seemed to make it much more complicated.
Awesome video. Always a pleasure. Your instruction delivery relates to us amateurs who what to make stuff and never had a skill set. 👍
I used to have a set of triangles of varying degrees that would be added together and put against the back fence to make odd angles. But your jig is so much better and safer. My fingers and I thank you!
Glad you like it!
I've never seen the AC+PVA glue trick before. Very clever; thanks for the tip!
Glad it was helpful! I use it a ton
Thanks again, you came in clutch. Quickest jig I’ve built and it works great!
Awesome
What an excellent jig! You are a genius!
Good Job lady. Excellent explanation. Nicely stated. Thank you

For sure! Glad you liked it
Superb jig and, as usual, an equally superb explanation of how to make it.
Awesome to hear! Glad you liked it!

Thank you Tamar, this is a good solution, so you can use the saw even more effectively.👍👍👍
Glad you liked it!
Excelente jig. Yesterday I was breaking my old brain (70) to some on with something like that to build something I am working on. Excelente.
Thank you for explaining this in a way that doesn't hurt my brain lol
Tamar, great video. I really appreciate the way you explain the process.
Awesome to hear! Thanks!
Well, " FRIEND" THAT IS TOTALLY AWESOME. YOU ROCK GIRL.
Thank you for sharing your experience and design. I really appreciate it and think that you did an excellent job explaining it. Looking forward to more videos. This is going to be a great improvement over other designs. You certainly put a lot of thought into your designing jigs., 🙂
Amazing jig Tamar!! You are very talented!

Was watching your video on extreme angles with the big Dewalt until the unskippable commercial. Buzz kill! See ya!
So simple but I had to watch your video...Thanks!
Well done Tamar , fantastic jig .
Thanks so much!
This is flipping genius. I can think of quite a few times when I needed to make a steeper cut than my saw could handle. Great job
Glad you like it!
I'll definitely build the part tomorrow. That fits perfectly, because I'll have to cut a lot of such angles for a project in the near future. Thank you for this trick.

If you continue making guitars and decide to make your own neck, you can do the scarf joint for the headstock angle with this jig. It's a cool idea for this jig.
Great idea and a handy jig to have........thanks Tamar!

11:20 - If your saw has a trenching feature, you can also set that to just below the cut lines on the wooden board
aaaaand then Tamar mentions the depth stop lol I should have kept watching haha!
Good video, a simple solution to a problem and a safety concern.
Glad you liked it!
So when you do your multiple s score lines, set the blade depth first, great and simple jig thank you
Tidy, the Queen of the Woodshop. 👍🪚🎙✅
Haha 👍
Hi greetings from the caribbean.....great stuff...keep it up....
Thanks!
wow, this is great! just what I needed for a project I'm doing where I need to build a trapezoid and needed a jig. Thanks!!
Awesome jig... great idea and design... you keep building and we will keep watching... thanks for all you do...
Awesome to hear! Thanks! 👍
Excellent stuff. Lately I've been thinking how good jigs improve safety. Well done.
Glad you liked it!
For sure you are still number 1 in my trip to get better. Just wondering about these angle cuts. Would it be safer to do this type cut on the Table Saw? so,, also I'm wondering why I haven't been getting your videos as I have been a long time subscriber.
Hi Tamara, as luck has it, I just managed to purchase the exact DeWalt double bevel sliding miter saw that you have. I got it on sale at HD with a free heavy duty saw stand. I just put everything together yesterday and I love it. Since I just saw your video on the angle jig, I can't wait to make one and try it out. Thanks again 👍 Ps, I also love your 6-1- universal trim router jig, glad I bought it.
Very crafty, I love ideas for developing new jigs. Nicely done.
Glad you liked it. Thanks!
This is awesome! A few years ago when I was trying to build a guitar from scratched I needed to cut the scarf joint on the neck for the headstock and we ended up using a miter saw. It was super sketchy and thankfully came out okay, but I sure could have used a jig like this!
Would be perfect for that!
Good jig suggestion for seeing angles on saw find radius of table and bandsaw that radius for pattern take this template and mount it to base ( this will have to be done before any fences are attached ) find location of angle marks on saw and rout a window in base this will allow you to view angles on left hand side of saw.
I enjoy your videos. Thank you for all you bring to the “makers” world.
I signed up for Fetch but unfortunately I didn’t see where I could put in the 3X3 Custom to take advantage of your offer. Perhaps some instructions for people unfamiliar with the sight would be helpful.
Again, thank you for what you do.
Really smart solution. Thanks for the content
Just got my first saw and was scratching my head trying to figure out how to cut over 45 degrees. This tutorial was amazing. I know what I’m making next 😊
An expansion of this idea could be jig double the width with an opposite fence @45 degrees on the other side of the blade. That’s more for acute angles with trim-as I’m a Trim Carpenter by trade. I saw a jig made by a Kizen Enterprises on Finish Carpentry TV that did a similar thing, but it’s $250-$350 and made from aluminum. This is a great idea and will barely cost you anything beyond what your project is budgeted for already.
I’m inspired by you, Tamar. Great job, as usual!
Awesome to hear! Thanks!
I have a small miter saw that only goes to 47 degrees. Your jig is great but how would you cut a 50 degree angle on small stock?
