5 super simple woodworking jigs that’ll make your life easier

Great work! Just picked up a table saw, last year all my gear was stolen so happy to get things going again. Videos like yours will be big help.

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!

You’re an amazing communicator, carpenter, videographer. It’s all clear, clean and inspiring.

My hands and my family thank you for the thin strip jig. I’m going to make this as soon as I use my table saw next time!

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

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!

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.

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. 😊

The dado jig & the one jig for cutting the thin strips on the table saw. Very cool. Thank you

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!!!!

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

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.

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! 🙂

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.

Some of the best user friendly jigs I’ve seen on YouTube. 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 YouTube.

Really fantastic jigs, Marie! Thanks a bunch for all the tips! 😃 Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

I loved all of them, specially the slotted bit jig!

Wow, that thin rip jig is so good! Simple to make, and perfectly effective.

These jigs are great. Thanks so much for taking the time to make the video. I'm anxious to view your other videos

Great jigs! The Vertical and keyhole jigs will be the first two I’ll build….Thanks!
