I've thought many times before "she is really creative when it comes to designing jigs" but this one impresses me even more than usual. I salute you on your talent.
I’m new and I can’t stop rewatching these videos she has made. The explanations and the use of the tools are so innovative. I mean it’s like “a-ha” and “oh I see” over and over again. Such a great series of videos. 👍🏽
First, this is the coolest, most "why didn't I think of that" jig I've seen. It should be patented and brought to market. Second, your "I'm not a professional and don't pretend to be" presentation is refreshing. Your willingness to experiment and try something new on camera regardless of the outcome is inspiring to the rest of us. You are fearless. Keep up the great work and look forward to the next video.
I don't think I've ever watched a video of yours that disappointed me. Good teacher, clear and to the point. I always seem to learn something from you. Nice work!
One day your kids when your get old enough to realuze it, they are going to be amazed with you as we are. Holy Crap Tamar. You made something so difficult to be super easy. Thanks.
I appreciate the time, money, and energy that goes into these videos. Being a parent is hard enough, let alone making instructional videos. This is one of the very few wood working channels that I watch. Clearly stands apart from other how to videos.
That’s so awesome to hear. I’m glad you appreciate and understand all the hard work that goes into it. It’s a lot! I really appreciate you taking Time out of your day to let me know!
WOW!!! I am astounded, commercial jigs don't come even close to the versatility of your design. Beautiful work, well presented, I am speechless at how nice it is.
I'm in a hurry so this is the only thing I'm going to say: I've been watching your videos and I love you. Greetings from an argentinian woodworker. You are an inspiration!
Wow, this is one of the coolest jigs I’ve ever seen!!! Can’t wait to make it & use it on future projects! Thanks so much for helping out novice woodworkers like myself! 🙏🏽🙏🏽

Kudos to you... You make it so easy. This should be shown to school children, included in wood working curriculum for them to get interested in creative working...
I am absolutely new, doing my first project - putting a wood top on an MDF desk and converting it to a vanity. Do any of you guys who know what you're doing remember how confusing it was hearing for the first time words and terms like "edge -banding", "designing a custom jig", "free hand routing"? Very much appreciate this lady Tamar, her patient, measured pacing and simple yet complete directions take the mystery out of much of this and instill confidence. I'm now very confident my first project will come out very nice and be the first of many. I've put a piece of plywood with a very pretty grain pattern on top and plan to edge band some hard wood and create a beveled edge.
So amazing that you conceptualized all of these features in your head, figured out how to integrate everything and built it too. I really love this. I will make this if I can source some fairly priced acrylic.
Versatility as it's peak, yes madam.

You’re so talented lady , thank you so much for sharing this , yesterday I was looking for something like that and I was frustrated didn’t find anything, this morning notes came new video ,and Voala 🥰
Extremely useful and awesome! I can see adding various strips on one side to make relative size and spacing dado's at the same time. I have been thinking about how to build a flush trim jig for edge banding for some time- now I have a plan! Many thanks!
This is very timely because my wife (bless her!) noticed that a local cabinet shop had some 1/4” acrylic scrap for sale. I got five ~4’X4’ sheets for $20 and had a nice chat with the owner. Nice guy.
Great vid!! A tip I heard a while back is to take a photocopy the underside of things (like the router) this will give you a template you can use for drilling holes - also great for mounting extension leads to the wall...
I've used that trick many times. Just make sure that you're not getting any scale changes between the pic and the print. I will place a ruler next to what I'm photographing for reference.
Copiers are specifically designed to NOT copy at 100%, so that one can't copy money well enough to use in a vending machine. But, sometimes it's close enough.
This is amazing. The router is one of the tools I'm the most scared of using because I always mess up. I am going to try this....once I buy myself a battery palm router. Thank you for sharing
I've been binge watching jig creation videos for some days and find that yours is elegantly simple, highly functional and the best. Many videos create great jigs but they are non-versatile monstrosities. Thank you for another great idea!
@@wilfredoreyes4617 It's come in very handy and a great addition to my workshop. Takes a bit of getting used to for certain uses though. For instance, it's much easier to route grooves with a circular guide than a straight one, the slightest shift and everything's messed up.
@@RealMangaAddict Hey thanks for replying to my question. It's very difficult to aquire certain materials here on the island. May I ask if you feel this jig is cost affective?
@@wilfredoreyes4617 I can relate, I live in the Caribbean and it’s impossible to find the acrylic here, I ordered it from the US. I do find it very helpful, but it definitely depends on whether you have uses for it or not. In my case, I have a small wood working shop and no router table so it helps alot. Especially when I can set the jig and make repeat cuts
The only drawback I see to this jig is using Acrylic. Acrylic is easy to crack. Lexan (polycarbonate) would be a better option. Though slightly more expensive.
I thought the same thing when she said acrylic. Lexan (brand name) or similar product would be a better choice. The difference in price you won't even think about when that acrylic goes flying all over the shop.
@@bobd. I chose polycarbonate because I had just bought and cut a bunch of it for security windows. I had a 1" strip 72" long and thought I would just bend and snap it into small pieces to discard. I bent it 180 degrees and it still didn't snap. It is very tough stuff. So, when it came to making this jig, it was a no brainer what I would use. Acrylic is good for picture frames, polycarbonate for anything that is going to be "used and abused and might crack.
@@russmartin4189 why are you directing your comment at me? Acrylic and polycarbonate are different animals. Your comments makes no sense with respect to me.
I wish a large network would sign you up for a proper woodworking show. You are the real deal. Your channel has probably helped my woodworking progress more than all the others combined. I can't thank you enough.
Well done. I like the way your mind works. I’ve been a carpenter for over 45 years. Thank you for taking the time to make and share this video with us.
Ingenious and well thought-out! I’ll be ordering the plans, for sure! Also - the integration of the ad was excellent. I hope Hello Fresh appreciated it. 😉
Congratulations on winning the woodwork lottery! This is a BIG idea. Please hold the price until I get some funds together. This is HUGE! Beauty and brains here... Great work.
Thank you for NOT making this on the router table! I have minimal tools, and it leads frustrated me when people do how-tos for jigs using a tool that’s more powerful than the tool it will be for. Like, I don’t have a table saw; that’s why I need a jig for a circular saw. And I don’t have a router table; I only have t rim router, so thank you for showing how to make it using the trim router. And this is simply brilliant. So ingenious. You’re my hero.
@@3x3CustomTamar I would love to just buy this set, as I haven't yet bought the router, and the templates look brilliant but a bit daunting for a complete newbie?
This is a very well thought out system! And this is coming from a guy who'd rather spend more time dreaming up and making jigs than doing the actual job its self! My only critique isn't about the jig its self but about the way you measured the set up for cutting the circles. When cutting circles you actually have to divide by two when setting up the bit because the pivot point is in the middle of the circle. In other words to cut a 4" circle you'd measure out 2" from the pivot point.
@@3x3CustomTamar Yeah when you said 4" circle I was surprised when you set the radius at 4". It sure looked like an 8" circle when you got done! Building drums as a side line "hobby" I'm very familiar with circle layout, so I noticed that right away! Whatever! My intention wasn't so much about busting your ass as just pointing it out for any "beginners" out there watching this. I've been there and done that myself! That aside... Big thumbs up 👍 for this very well thought out jig!! And for making the plans available. Another thing I really liked was your "trick" router guide! Seeing that was one of those "Why didn't I think of that!?" moments! I've been doing carpentry/woodworking for 40+ years and still there's always something new to learn! Subscribed....
As a VERY beginner woodworker (but learning quickly) I love your channel here. After watching this video I figure I probably could mimic it well enough on my own to get basic functionality, but when I saw the extremely reasonable price I opted to help support you instead and bought your template and plans, both for having an excellent guide and as a thank-you for all the helpful instructions you record for us. Keep up the great work. Us novice woodworkers appreciate it.
Awesome router jig. I'm new to woodworking and I recently bought a trim router and as a after thought I was wondering how I would be able to make a straight line free hand. Thank you answering that question
Why do I always come back to you and why do I always settle on your approach amongst all the other variations on every theme/jig on youtube? For several reasons. First is research. You always make yourself familiar with what is out there. Second is thoroughness. You always completely master the topic before you present it. Third is completeness. The videos always finish with a clear demonstration of how you use the jig in the real world. Fourth, plans! Almost without fail you put together well documented instructions. The perspiration that you give to everything is amazing. So easy to talk about, so damn hard to execute. Good lord Tamar. They are so easy to follow and so succinct. It almost makes me forgive your funny accent(jkaaaaaaay!!!!). Fifth is you always find a way to add your own special touch and raise the bar for everyone else. I made your crosscut jig. To this day I have not seen it eclipsed. Sixth is presentation. Flawless. You show your mistakes as well. At least the ones that you feel some needs to be aware of. And finally you just being you. We have all watched you grow. I raised 5 children. I know what it is to split time between your passion and the things you hold most dear. Good luck to you. Noone wants to lose you here but you know what comes first.
I am utterly fascinated by your creativity for these jigs. I mean it in no disrespect. I have to rewatch these videos a couple times because there is just soo much information my feeble mind cant grasp it at once. I commend you for helping out individuals such as myself by providing this amazing content
Been subscribed for a little while now Tamar and really love your enthusiasm and ability to communicate during your videos. This one on the other hand takes these aspects to a new level, why? You start with the plans done, you then head straight into the cutting etc. and before we know it the jobs done and he practical applications of said begins. First class from start to finish, wonderful.
I've been trying to decide what sort of Jig I wanted to build for my trim router and thanks to you, I have found it. Great design, there's just so many different things you can do with it. It easily takes the place of having to build multiple jigs. I really like being able to cut circles with the jig and not having to drill a pilot hole in the finished piece. Fantastic job and great video showing it off. Keep up the good work.
I have been using your jig for a year now and love it! I found a new use for it today, I turned it over a had an instant mini router table. With 2 prices of 3/4” plywood was able to mount it to my workbench. I don’t know how to add a picture
I just built this using your very clear and easy to follow instructions. As a complete router newb probably a bit ambitious but after a couple of wobbly cuts I got the hang of it and it turned out great!! Newb tip : print out a few copies of the stencils as I found they get a bit chewed up so had to re stick the stencil a couple times and..... work slowly. I found 2 or even 3 passes on the router cuts made it easier. Now for the Dado jig thingy! Got a big project coming up that requires some routing expertise and so happy I found your channel! Nice work you.
It has been a while since I have watched your channel, you just started building things I am not really interested in (guitars). The workbench base showed up in my feed yesterday and I watched it. This led me to revisit your video catalog and this video caught my attention. I am very impressed with your creativity and ability to execute what is in your head into the real world. Well done. Your presentation is really excellent too, even though your designs are complex, you make the audience believe it is possible we can do it too. Thanks for the videos.
I recently completed building your router jig. Within one week I needed to modify a cake plate that I made to fit my daughter-in-law's glass come. Somehow the grove within the circular wooden plate was approximately 1/6th" too small. Since they live on the west coast I could not try it with the glass dome. They are here now visiting us for the holidays so I had them bring the wooden plate so I could modify it. The piece has a butterfly inlay so I did not want to put a pivot point into the surface and that is where I was able to utilize your jig to open the circular slot. It worked better than I expected. If I could I would attach a photo.. Happy New Year.
I’ve just come across your channel and I’m hooked! I’m a ‘have a go’ 55 year old woman and I plan to try and make my own alcove cupboards in my new Victorian home. I don’t feel so intimidated after watching you, thank you and keep up the good work 😊
Wow! I’ve been a subscriber for a year now. Why am I now just watching this video? Lol! I’ve been procrastinating on making a custom trim router base for a while. I even already have the acrylic. I was just waiting for the right inspiration and you thought of many of the uses that I would also need. Thank you for sharing yet another very innovative and very adaptable accessory to the trim router arsenal. Love your channel!!!
A word for those who do not read instructions fully. First, thanks Tamar for all the great ideas!! I love all your tips-&-tricks and down-to-earth talk. FYI... I downloaded the plans for the 6-IN-1 TRIM Router Jig and would like to just point out (which you do in the printed instructions but I did not notice when I first read them. My bad...) Please make sure that before you print, be sure to set the print settings to 100% (Page Sizing & Handling) within Adobe or select (Actual Size) or your printout will not be the correct size. It will be too small. Wonderful Jig. Love it!!
Amazing jig, honestly by far the best channel on UA-cam for helping people get around buying expensive equipment and still making quality items. Between this and the instructions for jointing without a jointer you seem to amaze me with every video. Keep up the good work, I love the instructional videos
I purchased the plans and printed them out. For everyone out there,, they are excellent, and very detailed. Between them and the video, I'm sure my jig will come out right. I also bought a 24" piano hinge on Amazon for $8.99 to make the edge guide. Can't wait to make the jig and the edge guide and see what I can do with them. Tamar, I am now going to watch all your videos, except the guitar builds. I'm sure I am going to learn countless things that will help take my woodworking to the next level.
OMG...... Yesterday i Build a circle jig for My milling machine. Why did i found this Video last week? Great Job! I will definitly build this thing! Its awesome. Great job AGAIN!!!!
YOU'RE EXCITED? You should be me right now! Your plexiglass router jig is going to change my life and save me big money. You are a treasure Tamar. Thank you SO much!❤
I purchased the plans but since I don’t have a trim router I have to adapt the plans just a little to accommodate my bigger router. Thanks for the video. Just want to say you are a great inspiration for me, I just started woodworking and your videos are so well explained and make everything so approachable. So thank you and I appreciate what you do.
@@3x3CustomTamar I finished it. Turn out pretty decent. Good thing it references all off the pieces I made cuz I messed up tiny bit but it works like a charm thank you so much
The best jig I have seen. Great. My biggest difficulty regards the imperial measurement system. These quarters, eights etc are absolutely crazy for me. I am a brazilian living in USA and it is impossible to me think out of metric system. I will make a meyric version of your jig. Great tool. You are the best. Thanks for your woodworking classes.
It is so very kind of you to share your knowledge. This to me is what the Internet is for. I love that you share your knowledge with such great detail and enthusiasm.❤️
Glad I watched this video. Bought the bundle router table and 6-in-one from JKM and wondered what all the extra acrylic was for. You made it easy to understand. Thanks.
OMG, I thought that double tennon video was impressive, this is so impressive and useful. I've gotta make this---immediately. Thank you again for your creativity and instructive style.
First time I have seen your channel I must say that was excellent including multitasking actually made me get up and do something to eat. Thanks for sharing. I will definitely be watching you again. Very clever❤
That…..is….awesome. It’s the gift that keeps on giving, because if you buy the plans you get to practice your routing skills whilst making the jig to help improve your routing skills. Thanks for bringing your amazing skills in such a teachable and friendly way. 👍
Hallo Tamar, I love your way to explain all the complicate things. You make our craft easier. Sorry about my german english. 😊 Keep it up, Tamar. Claus from Bremen (North-Germany)
Just found an 8x4 piece of discarded acrylic sign tha is mostly clear and I’m in the process of makin sets of this jig for all of my fiscally challenged woodworking friends. Bough the plans and that jig set from Woodcaft. (They sure are proud of it but it IS convenient) and since I’ll be using it back and forth on several jigs it isn’t too painful. Helpful. Thanks for your posts, they are always both informative and helpful.
This is my first visit to your site, leaving very impressed with this young lady! I have just starting to get into creating my own router, saw, drilling tables. Your ideas are noted! Many thanks and I look forward in viewing more of your blogs!
I gotta give it to you girl, that is a super cool jig. I really try to design and create my own jigs but I'm gonna make an exception today cuz this thing is exactly what I need, built almost exactly the way I'd build it. Bravo.
I have an almost identical jig; first thing I made for my palm router when a finger injury was making using the 'big one' painful. The circle-cutting-without-a-centre-point bit is absolutely inspired though; it's time for 2.0! As for that piano-hinge straight edge. Why have I never thought of this?! Genius :)
Great little jig 👍 I’d just like to mention, if your routing Acrylic you need to run your router on a low speed 1 or 2 on the speed dial, if you have a trim router where you can’t lower the speed then do not try it, it will weld your cut. Just thought I’d mention it 😁
Wow, I really needed this video. This is only the second video I've seen of yours but I'm wondering how you got into wood working . Don't take offense but it's great to come across a woman who can kick !y ass in knowledge and does it so enjoyably well. I'm so impressed it's like being torn between laughing and awe. So many who do vids waste viewers time but you get right on track and go the extra mile in details. Imagine a video of a rifle build review and the guy babbles for three minutes with coffee, films meeting the delivery truck and before he ever gets to the range it's been a half hour. You cut to the meat of it and are just so informative and pleasant . Still on the verge of laughing as the vid plays. Your falling may be teaching I'm signing up.
@@3x3CustomTamar Your awesome. I forgot to sign up with my teacher yesterday. Done construction most of my life, now disabled and am going nuts without something to do. Thanks for the reply, will look for the video.
I watched this when it first came out. Then, I get an email notifying me that they are in stock ready made, I bought one. No, I did not trust myself to make my own. I am glad you color coded the holes to mount the various different compact routers. I would never have found the correct holes for mine (DeWalt). Of course I printed the template in black and white so the colors did not come through but the holes for mine were solid black and that worked.
I’ve just made this jig and it’s so cool. It allows me to cut perfect circles effortlessly. That’s all I’ve used it for so far but I’m very impressed at how stable it is. I wish I could post a picture here.

@@richs5422 Refreshingly mature to see in the comment section....lol, congrats on being a grown-up in the playpen, 🤣
This is amazing. The router is one of the tools I'm the most scared of using because I always mess up. I am going to try this....once I buy myself a battery palm router. Thank you for sharing
Have fun with it! The router is the most versatile in my opinion. Use it on EVERYTHING
Doesn't have to be battery powered. A router on a cable is just as good.
Once I got my Ridgid 18V compact router my hard-to-adjust DeWalt went up for sale
@@cdouglas1942 living in the UK means we don’t get the pleasure of having Rigid tools over here. Wish we did as they look awesome
Isn't that a makita she is using. I'm going by the colour.
Tara! You are indeed a revelation. Love your work, skills, ingenuity and humility. Need a few more guys to follow your lead.
Thanks so much!
I've been binge watching jig creation videos for some days and find that yours is elegantly simple, highly functional and the best.
Many videos create great jigs but they are non-versatile monstrosities.
Thank you for another great idea!
So awesome to hear! Thanks!
Just purchased your plans, can't wait to make this. Thanks! Btw if you want to make a 4" hole, measure 2" from the center.....not 4 lol
Just curious, how did building her jig work out 4 you?
@@wilfredoreyes4617 It's come in very handy and a great addition to my workshop. Takes a bit of getting used to for certain uses though. For instance, it's much easier to route grooves with a circular guide than a straight one, the slightest shift and everything's messed up.
@@RealMangaAddict Hey thanks for replying to my question. It's very difficult to aquire certain materials here on the island. May I ask if you feel this jig is cost affective?
@@wilfredoreyes4617 I can relate, I live in the Caribbean and it’s impossible to find the acrylic here, I ordered it from the US. I do find it very helpful, but it definitely depends on whether you have uses for it or not. In my case, I have a small wood working shop and no router table so it helps alot. Especially when I can set the jig and make repeat cuts
I say that quote from "Don't Tell Mom the Babysitter's Dead" every time I do the dishes. My wife just rolls her eyes. :)
Hahah! I say it too...
The only drawback I see to this jig is using Acrylic. Acrylic is easy to crack. Lexan (polycarbonate) would be a better option. Though slightly more expensive.
I thought the same thing when she said acrylic. Lexan (brand name) or similar product would be a better choice. The difference in price you won't even think about when that acrylic goes flying all over the shop.
@@bobd. I chose polycarbonate because I had just bought and cut a bunch of it for security windows. I had a 1" strip 72" long and thought I would just bend and snap it into small pieces to discard. I bent it 180 degrees and it still didn't snap. It is very tough stuff. So, when it came to making this jig, it was a no brainer what I would use. Acrylic is good for picture frames, polycarbonate for anything that is going to be "used and abused and might crack.
@@russmartin4189 why are you directing your comment at me? Acrylic and polycarbonate are different animals. Your comments makes no sense with respect to me.
@@bobd. I was agreeing with you! Polycarbonate is Lexan.
@@bobd. Where in the hell is your logic? He's backing up you and your comment!
I wish a large network would sign you up for a proper woodworking show. You are the real deal. Your channel has probably helped my woodworking progress more than all the others combined. I can't thank you enough.
I actually turn down all tv offers. Not what I want. I’m happy to share this stuff on my terms on here 😉
Well done. I like the way your mind works. I’ve been a carpenter for over 45 years. Thank you for taking the time to make and share this video with us.
Glad you like it!
2:33 I've got to make that straight edge. How useful.
Yes! It’s the best
Sponsored segment starts, and I'm not even mad. That was beautifully set up.
Hahaha! Glad you like it!
So well done infact that I decided to check out the offer, not available in the UK 😭
@@AlexMartin-dx4bp oh man...
Ingenious and well thought-out! I’ll be ordering the plans, for sure! Also - the integration of the ad was excellent. I hope Hello Fresh appreciated it. 😉
Thanks! And awesome! Hope it works out for you you 😉
I ordered the plans as soon as she said they were available on the website.
Congratulations on winning the woodwork lottery! This is a BIG idea. Please hold the price until I get some funds together. This is HUGE! Beauty and brains here... Great work.
Glad you like it! ☺️☺️
Thank you for NOT making this on the router table! I have minimal tools, and it leads frustrated me when people do how-tos for jigs using a tool that’s more powerful than the tool it will be for. Like, I don’t have a table saw; that’s why I need a jig for a circular saw.
And I don’t have a router table; I only have t rim router, so thank you for showing how to make it using the trim router.
And this is simply brilliant. So ingenious. You’re my hero.
So glad you appreciated it!
Don't tell mom the babysitter's dead. I love that line and my kids think I'm crazy.
Hahah! You got it! I loved that movie so much as a kid...
“Right on top of that Rose!”
Simply Awesome!
Keep inspiring with such innovative ideas!
You should get JKM to start cutting these out of Lexan on his CNC so you can sell complete ones on your website!
I’m going to have to look into something 😉
@@3x3CustomTamar I would love to just buy this set, as I haven't yet bought the router, and the templates look brilliant but a bit daunting for a complete newbie?
@@jesshothersall working on it 😉
This is a very well thought out system! And this is coming from a guy who'd rather spend more time dreaming up and making jigs than doing the actual job its self! My only critique isn't about the jig its self but about the way you measured the set up for cutting the circles. When cutting circles you actually have to divide by two when setting up the bit because the pivot point is in the middle of the circle. In other words to cut a 4" circle you'd measure out 2" from the pivot point.
Yeah. People misspeak sometimes. Realized that after I posted.
@@3x3CustomTamar Yeah when you said 4" circle I was surprised when you set the radius at 4". It sure looked like an 8" circle when you got done! Building drums as a side line "hobby" I'm very familiar with circle layout, so I noticed that right away! Whatever! My intention wasn't so much about busting your ass as just pointing it out for any "beginners" out there watching this. I've been there and done that myself! That aside... Big thumbs up 👍 for this very well thought out jig!! And for making the plans available. Another thing I really liked was your "trick" router guide! Seeing that was one of those "Why didn't I think of that!?" moments! I've been doing carpentry/woodworking for 40+ years and still there's always something new to learn! Subscribed....
As a VERY beginner woodworker (but learning quickly) I love your channel here. After watching this video I figure I probably could mimic it well enough on my own to get basic functionality, but when I saw the extremely reasonable price I opted to help support you instead and bought your template and plans, both for having an excellent guide and as a thank-you for all the helpful instructions you record for us.
Keep up the great work. Us novice woodworkers appreciate it.
Thanks so much! I really appreciate the support!
Gotta know. Was, “Mom, what’s for dinner,” a planned set up for HelloFresh meal or unlikely coincidence?
Haha! 😉
Well staged! One of the few sponsor parts I didn't skip (and now I'm hungry...)!
@@3x3CustomTamar Alright then, keep your secrets ;)
Awesome router jig. I'm new to woodworking and I recently bought a trim router and as a after thought I was wondering how I would be able to make a straight line free hand. Thank you answering that question
Gotta know... what was for dinner? Ha!
Why do I always come back to you and why do I always settle on your approach amongst all the other variations on every theme/jig on youtube? For several reasons. First is research. You always make yourself familiar with what is out there. Second is thoroughness. You always completely master the topic before you present it. Third is completeness. The videos always finish with a clear demonstration of how you use the jig in the real world. Fourth, plans! Almost without fail you put together well documented instructions. The perspiration that you give to everything is amazing. So easy to talk about, so damn hard to execute. Good lord Tamar. They are so easy to follow and so succinct. It almost makes me forgive your funny accent(jkaaaaaaay!!!!). Fifth is you always find a way to add your own special touch and raise the bar for everyone else. I made your crosscut jig. To this day I have not seen it eclipsed. Sixth is presentation. Flawless. You show your mistakes as well. At least the ones that you feel some needs to be aware of. And finally you just being you. We have all watched you grow. I raised 5 children. I know what it is to split time between your passion and the things you hold most dear. Good luck to you. Noone wants to lose you here but you know what comes first.
That was really so awesome to hear. Thank you so much for taking the time to comment. It’s a ton of work. Glad to know it’s appreciated!
I am utterly fascinated by your creativity for these jigs. I mean it in no disrespect. I have to rewatch these videos a couple times because there is just soo much information my feeble mind cant grasp it at once. I commend you for helping out individuals such as myself by providing this amazing content
So glad you like them!
Been subscribed for a little while now Tamar and really love your enthusiasm and ability to communicate during your videos. This one on the other hand takes these aspects to a new level, why? You start with the plans done, you then head straight into the cutting etc. and before we know it the jobs done and he practical applications of said begins. First class from start to finish, wonderful.
So glad you liked it!
The straight edge router jig is a stroke of pure genius, genuine jaw drop when I saw that 👏🏻👏🏻
I've been trying to decide what sort of Jig I wanted to build for my trim router and thanks to you, I have found it. Great design, there's just so many different things you can do with it. It easily takes the place of having to build multiple jigs. I really like being able to cut circles with the jig and not having to drill a pilot hole in the finished piece. Fantastic job and great video showing it off. Keep up the good work.
So glad you like it! We currently sell them too ☺️
I bought the plans and built one and it's awesome. Thanks again for answering all my wants in one jig.@@3x3CustomTamar
Oh yeah, "The dishes are done, man!" is from 'Don't Tell Mom the Babysitter is Dead', I enjoyed that movie.@@3x3CustomTamar
Wow! I finally made this jig and am amazed at how much more control I have with my router. Game changer!
Awesome!
I have been using your jig for a year now and love it! I found a new use for it today, I turned it over a had an instant mini router table. With 2 prices of 3/4” plywood was able to mount it to my workbench. I don’t know how to add a picture
I just built this using your very clear and easy to follow instructions. As a complete router newb probably a bit ambitious but after a couple of wobbly cuts I got the hang of it and it turned out great!! Newb tip : print out a few copies of the stencils as I found they get a bit chewed up so had to re stick the stencil a couple times and..... work slowly. I found 2 or even 3 passes on the router cuts made it easier. Now for the Dado jig thingy! Got a big project coming up that requires some routing expertise and so happy I found your channel! Nice work you.
Awesome!!! So glad it worked out for you!
when I see something like this, I always said, "why didn't I think of that". I love how you made a jig with acrylic. Thanks for sharing!
Ha glad you liked it!
It has been a while since I have watched your channel, you just started building things I am not really interested in (guitars).
The workbench base showed up in my feed yesterday and I watched it. This led me to revisit your video catalog and this video caught my attention. I am very impressed with your creativity and ability to execute what is in your head into the real world.
Well done.
Your presentation is really excellent too, even though your designs are complex, you make the audience believe it is possible we can do it too.
Thanks for the videos.
Glad you like them, but I don’t only build guitars. I’ve only made like 3. Maybe 4. Ha
I recently completed building your router jig. Within one week I needed to modify a cake plate that I made to fit my daughter-in-law's glass come. Somehow the grove within the circular wooden plate was approximately 1/6th" too small. Since they live on the west coast I could not try it with the glass dome. They are here now visiting us for the holidays so I had them bring the wooden plate so I could modify it. The piece has a butterfly inlay so I did not want to put a pivot point into the surface and that is where I was able to utilize your jig to open the circular slot. It worked better than I expected. If I could I would attach a photo.. Happy New Year.
I’ve just come across your channel and I’m hooked! I’m a ‘have a go’ 55 year old woman and I plan to try and make my own alcove cupboards in my new Victorian home. I don’t feel so intimidated after watching you, thank you and keep up the good work 😊
One of my favorite YT channels - crazy smart and talented!
Wow! I’ve been a subscriber for a year now. Why am I now just watching this video? Lol! I’ve been procrastinating on making a custom trim router base for a while. I even already have the acrylic. I was just waiting for the right inspiration and you thought of many of the uses that I would also need. Thank you for sharing yet another very innovative and very adaptable accessory to the trim router arsenal. Love your channel!!!
If you can wait 2 weeks, we are working on getting these sold already made!
@@3x3CustomTamar Even better!! You’re going to save me time from making this myself?? “Dishes are done, man!”
A word for those who do not read instructions fully. First, thanks Tamar for all the great ideas!! I love all your tips-&-tricks and down-to-earth talk. FYI... I downloaded the plans for the 6-IN-1 TRIM Router Jig and would like to just point out (which you do in the printed instructions but I did not notice when I first read them. My bad...) Please make sure that before you print, be sure to set the print settings to 100% (Page Sizing & Handling) within Adobe or select (Actual Size) or your printout will not be the correct size. It will be too small. Wonderful Jig. Love it!!
Glad you figured it out and like it!
what a smooth ad transition. truly inspiring. captivating. that's gotta be worth a higher ad payout. bravo!
Hahah! Glad you liked it!
Amazing jig, honestly by far the best channel on UA-cam for helping people get around buying expensive equipment and still making quality items. Between this and the instructions for jointing without a jointer you seem to amaze me with every video. Keep up the good work, I love the instructional videos
So awesome to hear! Thanks!
Nice jig, Tamar! Instructions are very clear and easy to follow.
I purchased the plans and printed them out. For everyone out there,, they are excellent, and very detailed. Between them and the video, I'm sure my jig will come out right. I also bought a 24" piano hinge on Amazon for $8.99 to make the edge guide. Can't wait to make the jig and the edge guide and see what I can do with them. Tamar, I am now going to watch all your videos, except the guitar builds. I'm sure I am going to learn countless things that will help take my woodworking to the next level.
Awesome to hear! Good luck!
You are Far and Away the best hello fresh Ambassador on the planet!
Haha thanks!
OMG......
Yesterday i Build a circle jig for My milling machine. Why did i found this Video last week?
Great Job! I will definitly build this thing! Its awesome. Great job AGAIN!!!!
Awesome
I appreciate the way you muted the power tool noise so that I didn’t have to. Amazing jig!
Glad you appreciated it!
Come on, THIS is incredible! Great design, well throughout, simplified, and feature rich. Much props Tamar.
Glad you like it! Thanks!
Just got mine in the mail! Really fantastic and dollar for dollar it has to be the most versatile and useful router jig you can buy.
Oh also Don't Tell Mom, The Babysitter's Dead. Here's how old I am: saw that thing in the theater.
Lining the templates up on a window blew my mind. That is genius. Your creativity in this video is beyond next level. Liked, subscribed, and humbled
So glad you liked it! Thanks!
YOU'RE EXCITED? You should be me right now! Your plexiglass router jig is going to change my life and save me big money. You are a treasure Tamar. Thank you SO much!❤
Awesome to hear! Glad it helps you!
I purchased the plans but since I don’t have a trim router I have to adapt the plans just a little to accommodate my bigger router. Thanks for the video. Just want to say you are a great inspiration for me, I just started woodworking and your videos are so well explained and make everything so approachable. So thank you and I appreciate what you do.
Awesome to hear!
@@3x3CustomTamar I finished it. Turn out pretty decent. Good thing it references all off the pieces I made cuz I messed up tiny bit but it works like a charm thank you so much
The best jig I have seen. Great.
My biggest difficulty regards the imperial measurement system. These quarters, eights etc are absolutely crazy for me.
I am a brazilian living in USA and it is impossible to me think out of metric system.
I will make a meyric version of your jig. Great tool.
You are the best. Thanks for your woodworking classes.
Ha yeah. Guess I’m just used to it
Great jig and you are by far the best jig maker and designer on UA-cam. That food look delicious. Now I need to eat.
Ha! Thanks so much!
It is so very kind of you to share your knowledge. This to me is what the Internet is for. I love that you share your knowledge with such great detail and enthusiasm.❤️
Glad you like it
obviously this jig is life changing, but the Hello Fresh transition was AMAZING
Glad I watched this video. Bought the bundle router table and 6-in-one from JKM and wondered what all the extra acrylic was for. You made it easy to understand. Thanks.
OMG, I thought that double tennon video was impressive, this is so impressive and useful. I've gotta make this---immediately. Thank you again for your creativity and instructive style.
👍👍
First time I have seen your channel I must say that was excellent including multitasking actually made me get up and do something to eat. Thanks for sharing. I will definitely be watching you again. Very clever❤
My ready-made jig just showed up and was easy to assemble. So excited to use this and get more versatility And stability out of my trim router
Awesome!
That…..is….awesome.
It’s the gift that keeps on giving, because if you buy the plans you get to practice your routing skills whilst making the jig to help improve your routing skills.
Thanks for bringing your amazing skills in such a teachable and friendly way. 👍
Love the enthusiasm and passion you have for your art. Thank you for sharing.
Hallo Tamar,
I love your way to explain all the complicate things.
You make our craft easier.
Sorry about my german english. 😊
Keep it up, Tamar.

Thank you Tamar for creating the template, its a brilliant addition to any woodworkers shop. God bless.

Tamar. You just blew my mind on how smart this is. Super awesome. Thank you.
So glad you liked it!
Your creativity and workmanship never cease to amaze me. Good for you!
Just found an 8x4 piece of discarded acrylic sign tha is mostly clear and I’m in the process of makin sets of this jig for all of my fiscally challenged woodworking friends. Bough the plans and that jig set from Woodcaft. (They sure are proud of it but it IS convenient) and since I’ll be using it back and forth on several jigs it isn’t too painful. Helpful.
Thanks for your posts, they are always both informative and helpful.
This is my first visit to your site, leaving very impressed with this young lady! I have just starting to get into creating my own router, saw, drilling tables. Your ideas are noted! Many thanks and I look forward in viewing more of your blogs!
Glad you like them!
I gotta give it to you girl, that is a super cool jig. I really try to design and create my own jigs but I'm gonna make an exception today cuz this thing is exactly what I need, built almost exactly the way I'd build it. Bravo.
So glad you like it! Thanks!
Fantastically creative! Very clever and very nicely done. Oh... Don't tell mom the babysitter is dead!
You got it! Ha! Thanks so much!
I have an almost identical jig; first thing I made for my palm router when a finger injury was making using the 'big one' painful. The circle-cutting-without-a-centre-point bit is absolutely inspired though; it's time for 2.0! As for that piano-hinge straight edge. Why have I never thought of this?! Genius :)
Glad you liked it!
Great little jig 👍 I’d just like to mention, if your routing Acrylic you need to run your router on a low speed 1 or 2 on the speed dial, if you have a trim router where you can’t lower the speed then do not try it, it will weld your cut. Just thought I’d mention it 😁
Wow, I really needed this video. This is only the second video I've seen of yours but I'm wondering how you got into wood working . Don't take offense but it's great to come across a woman who can kick !y ass in knowledge and does it so enjoyably well. I'm so impressed it's like being torn between laughing and awe. So many who do vids waste viewers time but you get right on track and go the extra mile in details. Imagine a video of a rifle build review and the guy babbles for three minutes with coffee, films meeting the delivery truck and before he ever gets to the range it's been a half hour. You cut to the meat of it and are just so informative and pleasant . Still on the verge of laughing as the vid plays. Your falling may be teaching I'm signing up.
Haha I have an FAQ video that may answer your questions
@@3x3CustomTamar Your awesome. I forgot to sign up with my teacher yesterday. Done construction most of my life, now disabled and am going nuts without something to do. Thanks for the reply, will look for the video.
Thats a job well done, specially the circle cutting without having to drill. You're like the Katz Moses of Jigs
Haha thanks!
This is way better than the half-assed solution I was working on, thank you for getting this out there!
Haha glad you like it!
As usual, very clear and perfectly explained so everyone, even the most novice can understand. A wonderful jig.
Glad you liked it!
I watched this when it first came out. Then, I get an email notifying me that they are in stock ready made, I bought one. No, I did not trust myself to make my own. I am glad you color coded the holes to mount the various different compact routers. I would never have found the correct holes for mine (DeWalt). Of course I printed the template in black and white so the colors did not come through but the holes for mine were solid black and that worked.
Glad it worked out anyway! Enjoy it!
I’ve just made this jig and it’s so cool. It allows me to cut perfect circles effortlessly. That’s all I’ve used it for so far but I’m very impressed at how stable it is. I wish I could post a picture here.
Awesome so hear!!
