Great little jig, Tamara, er... Tammy, er.... Taymar, er.... TAMAR!

Oh my gosh! I was struggling on how to use dowels in angled joints. Your solution is PERFECT! Thanks for sharing.

[adriannatale]

I come back to your videos all the time. And this one is exactly the tip I needed for my current project. Thanks Tamar!

When using wood clamps on the drill press to hold I found it helped a lot when i glued sand paper onto the wood clamps. Cuts way down on pieces slipping.

Great video Tamar! One of my 2019 "resolutions" is to incorporate angles and curves in my builds and this will definitely help with that!

[gpdoyon]

Thank you very much for this video! I had just cut out all of my angled joints and thought that my dowelmax tool would work perfectly. Nope. Your simple jig saved me. I’d spent quit a bit of time trying to figure out the solution to this problem. You’re the best!

Hi Tamar, I love making jigs and I add copper tubing to my wooden dowel jigs to maximise their use.

Love your channel; great tips.

[andrewlynch]

Tamar I admire how fearless you are. I must work on this for myself.

[goducks]

Thank you! You’re a life saver. I’ve spent way too much time trying to figure this out myself and your solution is brilliantly simple.

to wood working, but wood workers truly astound me in their ability to innovate. Thank you

[nosleepdelirium]

Thank you! I just did my first angled stool using dowel joints and I just drew a line on the side of the wood as a guide while I drilled angled holes by eye haha it worked but obviously not very precisely. This is very helpful!! <3

Have an outdoor rocking bench with a broken rocker. I need to put an angled dowel in it and have been trying to figure out how to do it and now I know. Thank you so much this has bugged me for a long time. Great videos.

I Didn't Even Want to Make This Jig, But Just Had to Watch. Good Job!

I would not want to make the holes 90° like some have suggested, as the holes in the end grain would be cross grain, and bits would wander and the joint is not as strong as 100% face grain. That's why we were taught to make angled tenons when doing hand work. I don't know of an angled dowel jig, except for a 45° Dowel Max attachment, so this is a perfect one time jig. Good Job. I do do like seeing your mistakes, as we only learn from mistakes.

Oh, and by the way to keep bits from wandering in end grain, follow up the awl hole with a small pilot hole, about a 16th, then you can even follow up with a slightly larger bit, like 1/4 to get you started, which is what I was taught by Paul Sellers in Waco, Texas many years ago.

Ms Tamar, thx for sharing the video, it was short, sweet, and to the point, that is an idea that I'll put in practice.

[MicahFunk]

I like that you used creativity to come up with a tool to accomplish your specific needs. Nice job!

[grammadrm]

You are my new woodworking idol. I love that you talk during vids.

[atlas]

Great video again am currently making a floating shelf and wont be needing angles but was nice to watch how you figured things smart !!

[v.d.]

Well done! I was racking my brain on this kind of issue.
What you did is smart, simple et efficient. It looks to be an easy trick to design, therefore it means it's a brilliant idea.

[LiloUkulele]

Another great video!!!! Yes, it’s a one time jig...the bit bores out and enlarges the hole in the jig with repeated uses. If it’s a permanent jig I will install drill guide bushings. Thank you!

[DianeM.Schneider]

I have been beating my head against a wall trying to figure this out. You have saved me so much time. Thank you thank you!
