I am 60 years young and have not done much woodwork since I was a teen. I have watched several peoples videos on TH-cam and came across yours by accident yesterday. I subscribed right away. I enjoy the presentations as you do them in a fashion that makes me believe that you truly get satisfaction out of sharing what you have learned. It is obvious that you love what you are doing. Not to mention the amount helpful information I have gained from the few videos I have watched so far. I will definitely return to each one as a reference when implementing these things into my shop. Thank You!
Hey Tamar, just wanted to say that your woodworking videos are by far amongst the very best on TH-cam. They are so well edited, the video work is excellent and your descriptions are well thought out and easy to understand.
Lots of great options here - but I like the simplicity of the dovetailed fence. No hardware to fiddle with, stores away on the back and I loved that nice, snug fit once you added the paste wax! Now that I have a new cordless router I'm going to make this jig for it! Thanks for sharing.
Good job Tamar! I like the jig with the piano hinge. I’m an intermediate woodworker and just retired at 65. I will be making that router jig and the last one you made. Your videos are easy to understand. Thanks.😊
This is why I love your videos... Every time I have to go and get wood and make these jigs... I really don't know if I ever use like half of them, BUT! I REALLY ENJOY MAKING THEM... May I request a video tour of all the jigs ... ALL HAIL TAMAR THE JIG MASTER. 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
Thanks Tamar, the last stop you made is my favorite one, but the process and showing it the way you did is simply extraordinary, great video and happy to see you after a very well deserved break !!!
These experiments are super helpful, not just demonstrating a technique but taking us along on the journey through purpose, methods, design concepts, proofs and comparisons. That's a lot of wasted material and pulled hair saved for us beginner hobbyists. 😁 Better still you inspire the imagination for solving my own projects.
Thanks Tamar. I was just getting ready to make a couple of edge guides for my hand saw "loosely" based on the same principles. So this video is very timely. I thought spring was here and even cut my front lawn for the first time.....then last night we got 4 inches of snow and maybe we'll get some more tonight. In you spirit I hauled out my little electric heater and continued my woodworking projects. We do this for "fun", right???? Thanks for Sharing!
Excellent video. I’ve watched it several times and will make the jig with the final stop design. I will add two more enhancements, first I’ll make cutout slots near the top and bottom of the clamping portion of the jig for slipping clamps through and hanging the jig, second I’ll add a hardwood edge to the guide and layout edges so they will wear better and be easier to sight off vs the plywood. It’s might also be good to add an adhesive tape measure strip to the top face (which will be the underface of the flip up section) of the jig to help keep track / mark areas to start/ stop routering. I’ll also maybe add adhesive sandpaper to the bottom of the jig
Tamar, between this jig, and your crosscut sled, and your mortising jig, and all the other jigs you've shown us, my life is much easier in the workshop. Thanks!
When I don’t have a job happening in my little home workshop I love to see your videos. Now I have a job to make a jig. How you think of so many solutions for the same problem is amazing. Thankyou so much. Bob
Hi Tamar, Your Jig is fantastic, done with the rest of the router jigs, and at 10 minutes the most simple and correct Jig Place it on the line, fold away and mill. I love it. Keep it safe, it is not over yet. Willy from Belgium. 🤗🤗🤗
You know, the thing I like about your channel is that I am entertained and educated at the same time. You usually have some dilemma in your video that allows me to think about the techniques being used and is there a better way? It challenges my brain to think and solve and I really enjoy that. I know one thing, if I make that jig (the adjustable with the knobs is my favorite), I will have to paint it a safety cone orange so I can find it after I set it down. LOL great video. Thanks for sharing.
I appreciate your woodworking problem solving brain. Thanks for sharing with the community your creative solutions to opportunity problems I didn't even know existed. Double win! 😄
I'm building the flappy router guide jig today to help me finish the cross-cut sled design by you also! And it's super handy living 10 minutes from Woodcraft so I can follow along with your videos! My favorite fence is the adjustable one with the knobs. It reminds me of the plane stops on the workbench.
Hi, I love your channel. I'm just starting out (as in absolute beginner), and I've watched a ton of channels over the last two months. Yours is one of three that I have found that were easy to follow and helped me to cut through (no pun intended) all the dust (again?)! You saved me from spending a ton of money too! You are the heat, and I appreciate you! Thank you for what you do! For the self-centering bit, is there a particular diameter, or they all the same. Please forgive if this is a silly question.
I like the first one with the dowels for the aesthetics and simplicity, but the last one I think will have the most lasting accuracy becuase there is nothing to wear out. I am a new fan, and Love you videos.
Awesome! I love that even though you could have easily ruled out a few of these ideas, you showed us anyway, so we can see it in action which helps us decide for ourselves! Thanks Tamar!
I have the same problem with rust on cast iron tools. Here in Canada, we have an undercoating company called Krown rust proofing. I get vehicles done every year. They have an aerosol can of the solution and I always pick some up for tools. I have found it to works the best of anything I have tried. I do spray it on and leave it until I want to use the tool and then wipe it off. I have not found it to leave a residue that affects the wood at all. Thanks for your content.
I second the jig tour! I'm in the beginning of my woodworking journey and I am amazed at the amount of jigs out there that make things so much easier. I also love your brain and how you find so many solutions to solving a problem. So cool to watch!
The hinged guide is my favorite but all would be very useful. Thanks for showing so many ways to make them. Glad warmer weather has arrived in your area!
I think this jig with the 90° fence can also work as a guide for a circular saw. My favorite fence is the dovetail one and the dado with a lock knob. 👍👍👍.
Yes, good idea. In that case, though, I would recommend not aiming for centering the cut line, but rather going for the outside of the blade since you rarely want to center a cut with a saw,but rather want to control the dimension of the left-over work piece.
One thing I like about woodworking is the multiple solutions to any particular problem. I really like the sliding dowel method, I think I'll do that on my router jig. Keep up the good work!
Tamar, you’re like a race car driver! You have sponsors on your clothes! Sponsors on your tools. I’m so proud of your growth! You get me hype to be in my garage!
Seriously…. Every video is a master class. Love what you do and a big thank you for making these videos. You are a treasure to our woodworking/maker community. I’m always excited to see what jig you come up with next.
That was too good. The first and the last ideas I think would work best for me. As usual your presentation was extraordinarily helpful. Thank you for your time.
FYI, a scotchbrite pad that size will clamp up in a 1/4 sheet palm sander perfectly, and that makes super quick work of rust. Use a red or gray one if the rust is bad, or there’s dried on glue or something. Done. I actually found a cheap old black n decker sander at a yard sale and only use it for that. Garage shop win!
Good ideas as usual... I get into the habit of once a week of checking my all my tables... And I use WD 40 to clean and lube the machine, only downside is, if you aren't thinking, and set a piece of wood on on the table, it can pick up the oil and stain your project. Plus before using the machine, you need to wipe the table with mineral spirits, paint thinner or Acetone, so you don't have that issue. OR what I do is... Just clean it with WD 40 (works great) and then wipe it down with mineral spirits, paint thinner or Acetone and use paste wax and get into all the nooks and crannies... You missed a few spots... Table bottom, blade clearance / blade slot and miter slot... ;) lol (And... FYI... With any MDF / Wood or un-waxed steel / cast iron table you have to be careful leaving things sitting on it. I ruined my just remade, brand new, Radial Arm Saw MDF table, when I left a chunk of a 4x4 pressure treated post sitting on it overnight. It sucked all that moisture (4x4 didn't feel damp), into the MDF and bubbled it up.)
Tamar, as always you are a fantastic teacher and innovator. I like the jig using the dovetail sliding piece for ease and accuracy, but the last one with the wooden knobs and slotted end piece would probably be the best for longevity. Always a pleasure learning from you and my library of saved videos for rewatching and staying up to speed on tips and jigs is always growing thanks to your videos.
Well you just taught this old dog a new trick. I can’t say I’ve ever seen that router jig before. Definitely something I need to add to my arsenal. And I think I’ll go with that last one of the options for keeping it at 90° that you showed with the two screws in the slots that you can just slide up and down however I would keep it a closed loop so that it can’t get loose and accidentally fall off sometime. The screws would actually have to fall out in order for it to get away.
I think it comes down to how short/long term a person plans to use/keep the jig. All of these are great methods, some just have a shorter shelf life than others. Great to see all the different ideas you came up with all in one video.👍👍
Love your ideas! The last adjustable is also my favorite. The dowel was simple, a draw back would be pivoting on smaller width stock . Would make the slots closed ended. Thanks again for a Great video!
You're simply wonderful. Awesome ideas, i don't even know where you're getting them from. On top of that you've a crystal clear way of describing what you're doing and faster. That's simply incredible. I liked all the ideas the most I liked was the last one n the dovetail one. Good work ;)
I swear this channel is the best out there. So much thought goes into what videos to make. I keep finding all the useful things here. Keep up the superb work tamar! Love your channel
Thanks for another great video. The dovetail version is what I will likely build. Also liked the dowel pin version though I would definitely wax those as well. I really enjoy how you toss out several options. Everyone and every shop is different. … hmmm … tempting to make the stop a little longer and put a notch in the end that could slide into a french cleat for storage. 🤔
Hi Tamar, I made a base plate from a plastic sheet - 5 inches square. so all I need is to place the guide rail 2.5 inches from the center of the cut. I found this easier for me as I am not very good at placing a hinge in the right place. love your vids.
Wow, now I have to choose which one, and they all have tradeoffs. Decisions, decisions (!) Great video, ideas are simple but very workable. Can't ask for more than that!
Great ideas, Tamar. I like the last one best because it stands the best chance of not wearing and throwing off your cuts. One could also use a piece of aluminum (gasp - this is woodworking) for the fence. Maybe 1/8" or 3/16". It can still be cut with regular tools. Bill
I like the last design but i will use the treaded knob when i build mine. I like all the ideas 💡 and all the hard work you’ve done. You look a bit tired… i hope you well and keep healthy. Wonderful wood jigs and always an excellent ideas 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Great video Tamar, I always love your enthusiastic projects, just thought of another one, very simple, just a dado and two opposing wedges. Just tap a wedge to tighten in the dado otherwise same as yours
Great video! Got to make one of those jigs, been putting it off, will definitely add the square stop, great design for the stop (the last one is my favorite).
Thanks. Good information and lively interesting presentation. I want to make your hinged jig and start using my router more. Please keep the ideas coming.
Happy Passover (Chag Sameach) and all the best to your and your family. I'm new to your TH-cam channel and absolutely LOVE YOUR ACCENT especially the way you say drawer All the best
The creative process at it’s best - well done. Have you ever thought about doing a series for kids? Lessons in practical creativity, like this video, could be highly valuable to kids. Such a program would develop valuable creative skills, and also help kids get comfortable with “trades work”.
Thanks for sharing your ideas for the jigs, Tamar. I like the last stop with the threaded inserts best. And I think I'd like to make a modified version of your straight edge jig, with one side that can be used with the my trim router and the other side with a second flip-up piece adjusted for my circular saw.
Tamar another great video. I appreciate that you spend a lot of time and effort to share these. They are very helpful. I watch these and feel an immediate need to make one. I am not sure what I will use it for though.
Hi Tamar. Glad to see you like the portable work bench hight like I predicted! That hight is just comfortable and ergonomic! Easter Greetings from Mallorca.
I like the last design but there is one more that you can do. It's similar to the dowels but with a twist. Use threaded inserts and the knobs you made for the one. The benefit to using the knobs is that if you add additional threaded inserts to correspond to a specific angle such as 45 degrees, you can easily change the angle by screwing the second knob into the desired angle hole. When not in use, the knobs would store in the end of the guide where two additional threaded inserts are.
Gracias Tamar, saludos desde Colombia, tus videos siempre son divertidos y útiles. Soy un adulto mayor que descubrió en la carpintería un apasionante hobby en esta etapa de mi vida y tu trabajo me ha enseñado mucho. eres genial.
Hi! The votes are in ( in my family ) and you came in first over Colin ( I had to say Colin, 'cause my wife is jealous of me 'having coffee' with you daily to start my day) you give me a 'kick start with your energy, smile, and teaching method and Colin gives me a 'man-to-man' ( just kidding) approach). I guess after 80 years (birthday March 21, 1942) I often try to summon my misspent youth!😎 BTW got a "cherry" Delta 36-540-T2 for my recent birthday...guess she loves me after all!😇
Like the last idea best. I would attach it to the fixed portion of the jig, since that would not interfere with either flipping the flap or the router. Also, when the stop is raised you can set the jig at any angle. All in one jig.
Tamara, I was just thinking... If you put a long slot at the far end of your jig running parallel to the hinge you could put a block with a threaded nut in it add a knob on top to use as a sort of stop on the other end to help hold the jig on the piece you are routing. I know that is not an issue for you with a large clamping table but for viewers who may be working on a set of saw horses it would allow it to work sort of like one of those large panel clamps so that is held a little better. I was also thinking when watching you demonstrate your hinge jig for the router at the beginning of the video how useful that would have been years ago when I used to use one of those long panel clamps to cross cut sheet material. I would always have to remember to measure from the edge of the circular saw plate to the blade and then offset the clamp to my line which of course is a great area to make a mistake and have to start over. Nowadays that isn't so much an issue because of track saws which also makes me wonder why not make a plate for your router that you could put on your track saw track?
Well the last one is what ill have to add to the one I made... I actually have a scrap cutoff I was using 2" C-clamps to get my 90° if I can get my electrical wiring inspection done and completed I can get back to sawdust, can't believe this process has taken this long 3/10/2020 since I last made any... have a great weekend Tamar
Hi, long time fan but I think my first comment. I like your content and your style! The last stop is my favorit because its square if your board is square. For your flip-jig: Maybe you can get the diameter of your router base from the manual or measure it. Divided by 2 and you got the width of the flip part. But I dont know if its making a difference. Thank you for the video!

Great ideas, Tamar. I like the last one best because it stands the best chance of not wearing and throwing off your cuts. One could also use a piece of aluminum (gasp - this is woodworking) for the fence. Maybe 1/8" or 3/16". It can still be cut with regular tools.

I like the last design but i will use the treaded knob when i build mine. I like all the ideas 💡 and all the hard work you’ve done. You look a bit tired… i hope you well and keep healthy. Wonderful wood jigs and always an excellent ideas 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
👍👍
Great video Tamar, I always love your enthusiastic projects, just thought of another one, very simple, just a dado and two opposing wedges. Just tap a wedge to tighten in the dado otherwise same as yours
That would be cool
Thank you for sharing all of your expertise. My wife has lots of ideas but she doesn’t do any wood working.
Great video! Got to make one of those jigs, been putting it off, will definitely add the square stop, great design for the stop (the last one is my favorite).
The paste-waxed-sliding-dovetail method (~9:45) is not only simple, it is beautiful and will still be beautiful 100 years from now.
Yeah! I love a sliding dovetail
We should change your name to The jig lady. You have a jig for everything. Bravo standing ovation.
😂😂
Can’t beat a good dovetail. Excellent information
👍👍
Thanks. Good information and lively interesting presentation. I want to make your hinged jig and start using my router more.
Please keep the ideas coming.
Happy Passover (Chag Sameach) and all the best to your and your family. I'm new to your TH-cam channel and absolutely LOVE YOUR ACCENT especially the way you say drawer
All the best
Haha thanks! חג שמח!!
Good job Tamar! I like the last two and the WD-40 info.
The creative process at it’s best - well done. Have you ever thought about doing a series for kids? Lessons in practical creativity, like this video, could be highly valuable to kids. Such a program would develop valuable creative skills, and also help kids get comfortable with “trades work”.
Never thought about that…
Another awesome and informative video! Just beginning my woodworking journey, and your videos have inspired me. Thanks for all the great ideas!
Awesome! Thank you!
Thanks Tamar I always enjoy the content. Here's some payback. Add baking soda to the car glue to make a filler. You can even mix in dye
Thanks for sharing your ideas for the jigs, Tamar. I like the last stop with the threaded inserts best. And I think I'd like to make a modified version of your straight edge jig, with one side that can be used with the my trim router and the other side with a second flip-up piece adjusted for my circular saw.
Tamar another great video.
I appreciate that you spend a lot of time and effort to share these.
They are very helpful.
I watch these and feel an immediate need to make one.
I am not sure what I will use it for though.
Awesome
Great ideas, but the last one is my favourite one.Keep safe.
Thanks! Me too!
I loved your router jig. I built the jig so I can use either my trim router or large router by using two hinges and both sides of the jig.
Awesome
I love the way your mind works. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you so much!
It was good to see all those options and your creativity is a pleasure to watch.
Awesome to hear!
Hi Tamar. Glad to see you like the portable work bench hight like I predicted! That hight is just comfortable and ergonomic! Easter Greetings from Mallorca.
Yeah!
I like the last design but there is one more that you can do.
It's similar to the dowels but with a twist.
Use threaded inserts and the knobs you made for the one.
The benefit to using the knobs is that if you add additional threaded inserts to correspond to a specific angle such as 45 degrees, you can easily change the angle by screwing the second knob into the desired angle hole.
When not in use, the knobs would store in the end of the guide where two additional threaded inserts are.
Sounds cool
Thanks- nice quick delivery. Not sure about cutting a steel hinge on the bandsaw 'tho...
Gracias Tamar, saludos desde Colombia, tus videos siempre son divertidos y útiles. Soy un adulto mayor que descubrió en la carpintería un apasionante hobby en esta etapa de mi vida y tu trabajo me ha enseñado mucho. eres genial.
Brilliant, Tamar! Fantastic work! 😃
The last one is definitely the best idea!
Anyway, stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Thanks! Yeah! Going to add that one!
Love the final version! I learn something every time I watch one of your videos.
Awesome. I learn something every time I make them. Ha
Hi! The votes are in ( in my family ) and you came in first over Colin ( I had to say Colin, 'cause my wife is jealous of me 'having coffee' with you daily to start my day) you give me a 'kick start with your energy, smile, and teaching method and Colin gives me a 'man-to-man' ( just kidding) approach). I guess after 80 years (birthday March 21, 1942) I often try to summon my misspent youth!😎 BTW got a "cherry" Delta 36-540-T2 for my recent birthday...guess she loves me after all!😇
We have the same birthday!!
Loved all your designs, but #6 wins! Reminds me of the mini bench stops
Yeah! Think that’s what I’m going with!
Thank you for the most importend safety, you stop your table saw every time. Great thank you for that.
👍👍
Like the last idea best. I would attach it to the fixed portion of the jig, since that would not interfere with either flipping the flap or the router. Also, when the stop is raised you can set the jig at any angle. All in one jig.
Tamara, I was just thinking... If you put a long slot at the far end of your jig running parallel to the hinge you could put a block with a threaded nut in it add a knob on top to use as a sort of stop on the other end to help hold the jig on the piece you are routing. I know that is not an issue for you with a large clamping table but for viewers who may be working on a set of saw horses it would allow it to work sort of like one of those large panel clamps so that is held a little better. I was also thinking when watching you demonstrate your hinge jig for the router at the beginning of the video how useful that would have been years ago when I used to use one of those long panel clamps to cross cut sheet material. I would always have to remember to measure from the edge of the circular saw plate to the blade and then offset the clamp to my line which of course is a great area to make a mistake and have to start over. Nowadays that isn't so much an issue because of track saws which also makes me wonder why not make a plate for your router that you could put on your track saw track?
It could totally be done with a circ saw too!
Well the last one is what ill have to add to the one I made... I actually have a scrap cutoff I was using 2" C-clamps to get my 90° if I can get my electrical wiring inspection done and completed I can get back to sawdust, can't believe this process has taken this long 3/10/2020 since I last made any... have a great weekend Tamar
Glad you liked it! Good luck with all that
WD-40 has some great rust remover liquid and also has a dry lube that I always use on my cast iron table tops.
cut a dado parallel with the edge and taper one side make a insert to fit and as it loosens u can tap it in
How much I love your videos!! They're so helpful and useful! Thanks for taking the time to do them!! Happy Spring!
So awesome to hear! Spring!!! Yes!!!
Hi, long time fan but I think my first comment.
I like your content and your style!
The last stop is my favorit because its square if your board is square.
For your flip-jig: Maybe you can get the diameter of your router base from the manual or measure it. Divided by 2 and you got the width of the flip part. But I dont know if its making a difference.
Thank you for the video!
This is one of those great videos where I'm like I wish I'd thought of that. Thanks Tamar I'll defo be making one of my own
Haha nice
2:15 Uhm, maybe just flip the board? 😄 Love the way you keep exploring all different ways to make this same jig!
