Young lady, I have been working in wood for over 60 years, this is one of the very best videos I have seen. Great camera work, great explanation and commentary, you certainly know what you are doing! Thank you for continuing my education, I wish you and your loved ones all the best in woodwork and in life. Thank you for taking the time to post, you have yet another subscriber!

Tamar... I started watching youtube a few years ago because I had an interest in woodworking, but ZERO experience or knowledge. I had retired and wanted a hobby. I watched a couple of people who showed how to videos, but they have become addictive to the money they are making and now it's more about them and their new workshops, buildings, etc. I want you to know you are a breathe of fresh air. I do not blame anyone for making money, or as much money as they can, but you are teaching your viewers what you know or don't know and make it interesting. Thank you for being here and sharing your woodworking life with us, the viewers. Please don't change.

JK Moses sings your praises in regards to your ingenuity, and I couldn't agree more. I'm on a jig-building mission, and every time I roam around the ol' KZfaqs for ideas I always end up back at Tamar's crib LOL! You are so badass!

Oh, one other thing I forgot to mention......it is so awesome that you respond to many "if not all" comments on your videos. That really means a lot ❤️. I get disappointed when I comment on other creators videos and they never respond, especially when I ask a legitimate question and they just ignore it.

I see a lot of videos with fancy, complicated jigs using expensive components and I'm pleasantly surprised at how simple and affordable your design is! Definitely making one! (cutting dados with my router is the not one of my fortes) Love how you leave in your mistakes-all of us learn. I made a beautiful 3-wood Tri-force design for my son after seeing another of your videos- Thanks for all the great ideas!

I love your show, and I'm just making this jig now. I realised one can make the jig so the two sides can be flipped, with the second set trimmed for a larger bit size. That doubles the capability of the jig for little extra work/materials.

I’ve been a furniture designer and builder for 30 years, and this is a fantastic idea! Thank you!

‘Tamar’ the multi tasking woodworking wizard! Another brilliant jig, thank you for sharing it with us!

The “Just a Cool Thing” is exactly that. Also, I loved the teaching moment you had where you explained how and why you cut the fences the way you did. I could hear the mental process of your kid getting it. When I was a kid, my mother did a lot of crafts on a scroll saw and took the time to show me what was going on from start to finish. To this day, 35+ years later, I blame her for my love of woodworking :-D

I came to the comments to say "well done and such a great idea Tamar!" But stayed to read half the comments haha You're a well loved and admired woman... for so so many reasons it seems 😊 Keep up the great work and ideas. Always great fun atm watch and learn from your experience

Great video and dado jig! I built one this morning. I made mine dual sided. I cut the boards for a 1/4" bit and marked boards on the same side of the t-track. I rotated the boards and trimmed them using a 1/2" bit and marked as 1/2" bit. I will use the 1/4" side for 1/4" - 1/2" undersized material. The other side for 1/2" - 3/4" and larger. Keep the great videos coming our way.

Still just as enthralling! I am a mechanic and nothing I do Involves using wood, but, my word.. brilliantly engineered and still watching it AND sharing it to friends! 🙌🏼

I love these videos, I learn so much! These are AMAZING because it allows hobbiests and beginners like me make more advanced cuts without owning expensive equipment.

I love this design so much. Solves so many of the problems I’ve been having. Thank you!

You know, youtube has a ton of female diyers but many of them are only focusing on 'novice' level tutorials or kind of clickbait...You are truly a pro woodworker and I learn so much from you. Thank you!

The Very Best Dado and mortise jig i've Ever seen made, and BELIEVE me I've seen a lot. Thank You very much Tamar for sharing this video. PS Bought the plans.x

I don't remember subscribing to this channel but I'm glad I did. I like how you avoid measuring things.

Brilliant! Even though this would be quite easy to build from the detailed description and video, I ordered the plans just to support you. I love your creativity and the fact that you make without crazy expensive tools. Great job!

I’ve read with interest other comments but have a different view. Whilst I’ve been woodworking for over 45 years (not yet 60) routers weren’t that common in the UK until the ELU in the 1970’s. I want to cut different widths grooves, stop dados and mortices and use different width bits. Even so, my jig is much simpler as it is the 2 side (across the width of the board) panels which are adjustable in the width between them and they are connected by end pieces (along the edge of the board) with T track and star knobs. I make my groove or whatever a perfect fit by putting a scrap of the timber to go into the groove between the 2 side boards and snug those 2 boards up against the scrap. All I then need is a template bit and my set up is complete and guaranteed to produce exactly the width that I want. An additional small advantage is that my jig is much more compact to store and have ready to hand.

I just finished building this jig. I downloaded the plans from your website and followed them to the letter except for the width of my router base of course. The block that you place on the front edge to ensure square dados has yet to be installed but I will have that done within the hour. The thing about that squaring block is that it depends 100% on the squareness of your workpiece obviously. Dang! I was hoping this magical jig would take care of that too! Oh well, back to reality! 😅😆🤩

Thank you very much for you generosity on teaching. I love the way you develop the ideas and the basic methods used to build wonderful tools. On top of being an enthusiast professional you’re a very nice person.

Absolutely amazing jig!!!! Love how seemingly inexpensive it would be to make yet highly useable for professional cuts.

I am not one to comment on what others do or say but, your mind is to me is amazing. My mind began to open up to where you were and to where you were going. You appear to be in another zone. I'm in my 70's and I was laughing to myself because I knew for some reason what your next thought would be. May your mind never stop creating.

Thanks Tamar, another winner. I love this jig and you always explain things in terms that us newbies can understand. I will be using this sometime in the future as I attempt to make cabinets for my garage.

Ooh, ooh! First new upload since I subbed! Good thing too... I went through all the backlog of your videos and didn't know what I'd do next.

Tamar, I have the same table saw and I use a Diablo Dado stack on my table saw up 3/8 without any problems

I have watched a dozen Dado Jig Videos, and this you made is easy to make and use, as the song says Simply the best

I love watching your videos. I have been a woodworker for about 35 years and I learn something every time I watch one of your videos.

So I've been subscribed to your channel for a while now but I've but never been tempted to comment (in fact this is my first ever KZfaq comment, genuinely!). Frankly this is inspiring. You are not just a woodworker (of the highest calibre) but you are also an amazing engineer ... "there's something I want to do better next time, so how do I solve that" [sic.]. It's awesome to literally see you think that way. It really concerns me that problem solving & having the skills to create a solution are becoming rarer & rarer in this day and age. So I'm hugely pleased to see your skills, ability, and capabilities in action. I've always thought that inspiration leads to action, so perhaps your inspiration will ensure I take action now ... whether it's as simple as leaving this comment to encourage others & support your channel in the smallest way possible, or whether it's actually creating this jig for myself (and really, I soooooo hope I'm in a position one day when I don't have to do the "day job", when can follow my passion like you, and actually need a jig like this!). You've inspired me to do something I wouldn't otherwise have done. If ever you have even the smallest moment of doubt about what you do, or whether it matters, or whether anybody cares, then bluntly ...don't. I'll share this with my kids even if they don't end up fully appreciating it right now, or until one day they understand for themselves how important these skills are. Just like I'm beginning to understand as a Dad & like mine would've hoped. Great stuff, can't thank you enough!

Hey Tamar! Great video! I'm in England. We're not allowed to have dado blades in our table saws here, so your jig will come in incredibly useful. I'm currently in the process of planning and setting up my workshop and this is defo on my build list. Thanks!

Tamar yet again you’ve made an excellent jig, and shown the production process in a very simple way. Thanks for sharing your ideas.

I looked at a lot of these jigs on you tube. I think you have the best one.

Did you forget you had made a "kerf maker" when you made the dado for the T-track? :P Youre so awesome!

Who else besides me finds themselves in love with this woman? I'm so jealous of her husband.

I made your more basic version of this jig that doesn’t use T-track. Works great! Perfect fit every time! Thanks

Better Design, better functionality than any of the other "expert carpenters" on youtube. And perfect explanation on "how" the smaller router bit is used to create larger dado's. thank you very much.

Tamar, I love watching your woodworking videos. Other youtubers are great to see the amazing projects they work on, the four eyes guys are great. But many others are too intimidating to tackle and serve more as aspirational. Every video of yours is so much more encouraging and makes me feel like I can tackle these projects.

I was looking everywhere to figure out how to cut a perfect dado easily in the middle of a piece of plywood, and of course the answer was here! Thanks, this is exactly the idea I needed. Awesome!

Just ordered the track rails, jig kit, and Whiteside bit to make this. Awesome stuff, subscribed!

That is the best version of that jig I have seen. I think I may finally be confident enough of gaining enough ability back to make dados from the top to get rid of my old radial arm saw. Once I've built this of course.

Thank you for continuing to show all the great ways we can use routers. We're starting out in woodworking and don't even have a table saw yet, but we've been able to do a lot of fun stuff with our router thanks to your instruction.

Thank you for taking some time from your life and share your knowledge

I enjoyed they ending with your kid showing his project. After my little granddaughters leave, i am always cleaning out similar projects of scraps of wood glued together. Made me laugh.

Ótimo gabarito!!!! Parabéns e obrigado por compartilhar seu conhecimento e experiência com todos nós!!!!!!!

I made this yesterday. Kept it to 20" for plowing dados into boards for sides of bookcases. Loved how easy and accurate this made the process. Thank you.

Hi Tamar, This is fantastic, no one can be wrong about the length or width of a Dado. Also installing is super easy. Hat off to you because you said you came up with this idea yourself. Keep it safe, it is not over yet. Willy from Belgium. 😷😷😷

Love hearing you teach your kids in the videos. My kids love hanging out in my garage/shop and of course asking questions

Brilliant Tamar You make this novice woodworker 🔨🔨 feel like she can do anything - you are an inspiration. Accounting is my day job and Woodworking is my hobby (quite recent) which continues the precision across the two. The plunge router is not my favourite tool - I like yours though - so having a specific Jig makes using it so much easier. Tyfs 🌸🌸🌸

I love how happy you are, a true craftswoman doing rewarding work, and teaching others in a wonderful way. You should be proud. Thank you.

Saw your vid. A year ago but finally needed one for my present project. So now I have one too. Glad I remembered your jig. It works superbly. 👍👍👍

Wow! Tamar, I've been following you for a few months already and I am totally amazed by your creativity and the love and joy you show in everything you do. And you shine over others by your clear and precise explanations for what you do. I really appreciate your work and I have learned a lot from you. Thank you, Tamar!

You are an absolute joy to watch. You definitely know what you're doing and how to present it in a clear and concise manner. Also, your plan prices are very reasonable. Thanks for an educational and enjoyable lesson.

I like that you showed us how to make a dado on a table with WITHOUT a dado stack. People who own a dado stack are probably more advanced, and it's easier for them to make the adjustments needed. I also love that you show us all the measuring you do.

Thank you so much, i've been thinking of doing a jig like this for a while now. This video eliminates all the testing and thinking how to do it so it works for me.. Thank you

I built this jig today. It was a lot of fun to make and I am excited to use it on several projects. I have a bookcase that I'm working on, and this jig is exactly what I needed. Thanks for sharing Tamar!

This is an awesome & cool jig! I've seen a bunch of straight forward jigs like this. But none with the versatility as this jig. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 And that teaching moment with your son was special 🤗

you have some of the best looking projects that come out of what is really a very attainable shop for those of us who just like this as a hobby and not a business. This is in no small part due to your ability to realize what you need to do and then finding the simplest way of doing exactly that, and super well. I've not seen anyone else use a jig like this before, and i watch SO many woodworking youtubers. no individual part of it is particularly mind blowing, but your ability to put all those simple things together into something so totally functional, easy to use, and accurate is just so damn impressive. thanks so much for sharing with all of us!

Brilliant jig. Very beautifully conceived and built. You're a genius. Thank you.

Your jig videos are hands down the best on KZfaq. Not just well explained, but also the most ingenious and intuitive. Thank you for your hard work Tamar!

He he Tamar, great to have you back. Hope you enjoyed your vacations. Awesome work. Always happy with your crystal clear narration. And the bonus part "just a cool thing" 😁😊👍🏻

Love how much your excitement comes through in this video! Super cool jig.

I really like the two additional fences and the feature of all of them being adjustable. All those measurements are beyond me - I had to watch the video a second time and pause it to understand the off-sets and the way you calculated those off-sets. Definitely helps me when you talk in your videos, and it makes the videos more entertaining. It’s only a matter of time that you will get picked up by a television network and have your own show. It was nice to see your son interact with you and ask questions and show his wood-work. Have a good weekend. Kick ass!

Return of the Queen of Jigs! Love it, and so simple to make!

Hands down one of the most useful jigs. I’ve not seen anything like this before and had I had this when I made a larder I coulda saved 1/2 a day or more. Genuinely unique and impressive and I’m not ashamed to say I will be copying you. Also ima buy that T track kit box, looks handy. I could see coming up with a way to permanently fix clamps to it so that it’s 100% self contained but then I’m not sure how to do that practically and gracefully. Great job

Love it. Live how real your videos are, that we get to see your thought process as it evolves, mistakes made, etc.

Great video and great jig. Subscribed and ordered the jig plans from your website. Thanks!

Totally going to make one of these. My jig collection is growing quite a bit. You’re probably 50% to blame lol. Crazy enough I am a jig fanatic so it all works out! Awesome job and thanks for the inspiration!!!

Thanks Tamar this was super timely!! I am working on a toddler tower right now and just bought my first router to cut some stop dados to hold the steps. I will be building one of these right away!

I really enjoyed this video, I'm about 0.00005% of the way to having a decent table saw etc but when I do, I've bookmarked this video.

Best and most versatile dado jig I've seen so far!

Hi Tamar - I really like designs like this! They are simple, expandable, and versatile. As an engineer, we are required to meet the requirements and expand use cases to get the most out of the design - you did exactly that. There is a pretty strong likelihood that I will be building one of these at least I will be leveraging off of this design. Thank you for taking the time to design this jig and the massive effort to shoot, edit, and post this video.

I love it! I made a similar jig for ends of planks just this week, but I need a surface version also! Being able to route a channel in the end of a long plank in the middle or off centre is super handy, and different width channels (using adjustable t track too!)

Brilliant! Thank you. Just what i was looking for. I’ve watched your videos plenty of times. Only realised today that i was not subscribed. I am now!

Very nice. Great thought process Tamar. Keep on smiling.

Good morning with the time difference I am from Libya really you are creative and I have learned from you a lot thank you for all the progress you have provided

You seriously come up with some of the most unique and useful jigs/ideas in general for woodworking out there on KZfaq. Thank you so much for sharing 🙂

I can envision a number of uses of this jig in the near future. Learning so much watching your videos, and they are so easy to watch and learn from. Thanks Tamar, for everything.

As always, great tips. I especially liked the ending. Together we are stronger than we are as individuals; information is knowledge, and all that stuff. Keep passing it on.

I think you've done well there Tamar. There's so many different ways of going about achieving the desired outcome but at the end of the day it's simply whatever works at the time. That's the thing about woodworking, we might change/make new jigs etc when we discover a better way. Loved the way you shared what you were doing with your young son. That's gold, I learnt so much from my father and mother and I'm very grateful to have been blessed with great parents.

Yes, that’s really useful, thanks. I will be definitely making one of these. I love the hacks too using the combo square. Very quick solutions for transferring measurements. Brilliantly simple and practical. Thanks for these videos, they are excellent tuition. Please keep them coming.

I’m amazed how well it came out 👍

What a fantastic jig this is...! I built it to plan and just used it to fit some mitre track to my router table. The dado was perfect and so accurate. Thanks Tamar - great stuff

The creativity and problem solving skills on display here are so impressive.

This is exactly the jig I need right now for routing shelf dados on tall and wide cabinet sides! Brilliant! Thanks!

Hi Tamar. I’m so glad that I subscribed to your channel. Otherwise, I might have missed this terrific video. It’s so great to be learning woodworking from someone as capable and professional as you.

very awesome. you should be very proud of yourself. love how you think outside the box to create what you needed.

I downloaded the plans, thanks for the details, which will help. Love your woodworking videos, has rekindled my interest.

Awesome jig!! This is one of the BEST DIY dado jigs I've seen! Very versatile and looks really accurate. Glad I found this, I'm getting ready to do a cabinet build for two houses! 👍

Tamar, Very well done, my friend. This project shows the thought processes you used when making the jig. Then you add another twist at the end, and you have a mortising jig. \Thanks for taking us along with you on this journey. Felix

Genius!!!a very useful jigs for me.excellent job Tamar.keep on creating jigs like this

Thanks Tamar, your talent shows in how you manage to make complicated things simple, and you don't overlook any detail that a normal person would find as an obstacle. We realize that being a good craftsman does not lie in what you have but what imagination or intelligence you use. I'm italian and I find easy to follow all your steps

Hey Tamar! I’ve been a subscriber for awhile but tonight bought these plans from you. I’m very impressed with the quality of these plans and at such a fair price! Many thanks!

you're so awesome Tamar 🤩 i love the way your kids are interested and how you simply explain the process 👍🏽

Great idea. Just what i need for making grooves for the the t-tracks in my workbench. Thx.

This was one of the most complete and clearly explained video for router dados and mortises jig that I have seen.Compliment to the host!

I have watched several videos regarding router dado jigs and this is the one I will make. You are an excellent teacher. THANK YOU.

I made one of these years ago inspired by Norm of the New Yankee Workshop, but Yours is a real step up! updated and much more versatile. You have interesting thought processes! Really good, thanks for sharing and I think I'll update mine now👍🏼👍🏼

Tamar, I likes the way you explain and show your work. I started building my hobby woodworking shop and you are in great help for people like me. Thank you very much for sharing your knowledge!

You have really great tips and tricks and this is another one that is useful. I’ve been doing woodworking professionally for 30 years and I still love learning new tricks. Your really can teach an old dog new tricks. I appreciate your channel. Thank you.

Awesome work I just found your channel a week ago, and I can't stop watching it. Most of your videos I watch over and over. You really have a talent. Great job
