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.

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

Watch these kinds of videos often. Ho Hum. They're good, useful, but a lot of the same kinds of jigs. So I'm watching... Oh that's a nice safety addition on the thin rip jig, OK. Oh, a dado jig, seen this, nothing new. Yeah, yeah, now add some slots so it can adjust to the different thicknesses... wait what is she doing, you can't screw it together yet, where are the slots, you NEED SLOTS!!! Then BAM!, you offset them and slide them together.........THAT"S GENIUS!!!!! This woman's a genius! I think her name is Marie. Marie, you're a genius.

You have a great voice AND presentation style

Love your videos! Straight forward and direct to the point, no corny jokes and unnecessary small talks-wasting my time... 😆

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!

Sounds like a true 'next level' project... kudos for working to do it right! And thank you for letting me know with a follow up message.

The safety 👮‍♀️ approve this jig

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.

Dude your videos are super educational.

I always enjoy your videos. Very informative and easy to follow. It is a pleasure viewing your channel.

How to know you're from Montréal: A non-exagerated voilà! Haha! Having lived in the US for almost 10 years now, it's music to my ears!

As a 54 year old female who was raised old school, I have a seriously hard time laying out the kind of money that these people want for pre-manufactured jigs. I don't own a dado stack, and I absolutely love your dado jig! Okay I love all your jigs! I never subscribe and I did today!

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.

Holy sh*t that dado jig is sheer genius!

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.

Glad to see someone this brilliant using cheaper Craftsman tools.

I like that dado jig.

Good video. Very useful jigs and easy to understand instructions.

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!

I watch a lot of these jig videos & a lot are kinda hokey but yours are pretty smart. Nice job.

Awesome, simple explanations!!! Thanks for your advices!!!

Really liked the Vertical Jig however I will be making them all Marie. 🥇🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺

I imagine you get many off the wall comments, but I just love to tease. I said drat she’s not teaching 5 jigs, there isn’t even any music! Ok. Pun over. I enjoy how your handy work is simple, easy to do, n your voice is so easy to understand. Thank ya most kindly for your time n making these videos. My favorite is the dado jig.

The dado jig will not be a part of my now-precise work! Thank you!

I am really enjoying your style here, an easy voice to listen to, and a concise teaching style letting me see the pitfalls you are avoiding as you go. Humble. I find American men's videos have a style I enjoy much less. So for perfection, can I also get your measurements in metric please? I can't add all those fractions (dyslexia) and millimetres are so simple for that. I was very pleased when the UK went metric in the 70s. School became possible at last. No idea what 23 30 seconds is, though I understand the principle as we have the same issues in metric - too big/too small, so your visuals with the gauge are very helpful. Thanks!

The adjustable dado jig is my favorite

Subscribed just because of the smart use of a respirator, which so many woodworkers seem to ignore.

Very nice jig!

Circular saw guide, awesome :)

Lockable wheels for that workbench would be a safe bet as well. 👍

The dädø jig's width adjustment is really a genuine idea.

thanks for your jigs and nice to discover your site. California.

Very well done video. Information is clear and corresponds with the video; all devices etc are listed with a source to obtain; and all the camera work is planned in advance, in focus, and well explained. If you are not a video pro you certainly are now!!!

Exactly what I need. Thank you

I wish I had a table saw this nice.

I don't want you to stop the woodworking videos, but you need to instruct EVERYONE who aspires to be a teacher; clone yourself if that makes it easier or make a jig that does what you do! Excellent on many levels.

I LOVE JIGS! You earned a sub!

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.

My favorite was the router jig.

Marie, you are amazing! I love your videos!

Just found this channel, watched 'til the end, good safe jigs. Thank you!!

That Adjustable Dado.....very helpful indeed.

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....

Love them all, favorite is the dado jig looks simple to make, seen tons on you tube, this is the one I’m making.. thanks

Love the flathead screw reference! Drew would be proud.

Loved all the jig's

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.

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

Excellent presentation and narration.

Hey Marie. Thanks for the videos. I only recently discovered your channel and subscribed. I appreciated your clear and simple explanations on building super practical jigs with suggestions for possible modifications. I find your videos to have high production value without appearing overly slick with unnecessary cutaways (pun intended). I plan to work my way through your other videos.

Awesome Dado Jig! I just stumbled across this video. I expected I wasn’t going to find anything new and JACKPOT! I don’t recall ever seeing a dado jig like this one before. Everything else has been tracks on both sides and don’t guarantee parallelism. FINALLY - one that does guarantee parallelism! Yay! I’m definitely going to build one ASAP. THANKS!!! And now I’ll also go checkout your other vids. Cheers!!!

Thank you. Practical advice.

Just came across your videos today for the first time and like another person pointed out, your videos are so user-friendly and accessible.
