I am a woodworker and woodworking teacher. Most of my students suffer from autism spectrum disorder. Your approach demonstrates the beauty of woodworking as a way to learn problem-solving, geometry, and arithmetic in fun and natural ways. Your clarity, enthusiasm, simple techniques, and smile are wonderful guideposts in my teaching. Thank you, Tamara.

I hope you realize how many projects you have saved across the globe with your problem solving. Lots of amazing woodworkers out there, but you have a unique ability to explain a problem and how to solve it that makes sense to normal people. Thank you for your content.

I'm new to woodworking having bought a 115-year old home in the rural PacNW and there is literally NO ONE within 150 miles that is skilled in finish carpentry let alone someone who understands the fine ART of woodworking. Anyway, so I've had to learn the craft and bought $$$$ worth of equipment and tools. I've watched a LOT of YouTube videos on a variety of subjects, how-to's and operational tutorials.

This is the 5th time I've received your video feed and every time—I get everything I need to know in the most concise, plain and direct manner over the hundreds of others I've slogged through. Some YouTubers are either long-winded, goofy/silly (for "entertainment" purposes), have obnoxious music in the background, or just don't/can't explain things as well.

Good job! I'm Subscribed!

A week or so ago I was trying to cut some 60 degree miters on my table saw (ok, actually 30 degrees, but you know what I mean). I have the Incra V27 miter gauge and I can swing it that far, but since I'm making the cut at the end of the fence, and not through it, it places the workpiece in a very precarious position on the edge of the table before making the cut. That night I was browsing YouTube and saw your video in my feed. Bam! The thumbnail was all I needed to see to know how to solve my problem.

My first idea was to cut a 30 degree wedge and then set my miter gauge to 30 degrees and I'd have my 60 degree cut. That proved to be difficult to handle safely. That's when I discovered that if I hold the workpiece perpendicular to the face of the miter gauge (set at 30 degrees), I'd get my desired 60 degree cut. I clamped a piece of 2x2 to the fence then clamped the workpiece to the 2x2 and I could safely push the workpiece through the blade and get my cut. With all the clamps, there was no shortage of handles to hold on to, to keep my hands away from the blade.

This is a great trick to have in your "bag of tricks". Just add an angle to your angle to get the unreachable angle.

I'm building gates for around our ranch. Many of the angels for the cross supports are not standard. This is exactly what I needed. Thank you.

It's nice seeing a woman wood working and offering instructional videos. Great job and thanks for sharing.

[ilivelivemusic]

I love the creative way you solve problems.

Ich mag diese Frau als Tischlerin, sie ist so gut und zugänglich, danke, auf jeden Fall wie

I could listen to you all day long, your jigs and explanations are so precise and detailed,
I have made a few of your jigs and learned so much from you. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and expertise with us! 👍💕

You are quickly becoming one of my favorite channels to watch. I set my alarm to let me know when you put out a new one so I don't miss anything. Thanks for sharing. I learn something new every time I watch you.

I haven't had too many occasions where I needed to cut such a drastic angle but I can see this is a great idea. Obviously more accurate than just holding the workpiece and trying to cut on a marked line. And a lot safer too.

[jeremyjjbrown]

Thanks for the simple, not over engineered solution.

[spicydragon]

That was SO SO simple and just brilliant! Your tips and information has really helped in improving my (sometimes sad, sometimes funny but always safe) woodworking skills. Thanks so much, keep up the great work !

[AB-nuwe]

I like the way you started, with the simple jig providing rationale for a more flexible jig. Nice educational moment. Nifty result.

[j.d.]

Awesome video. Always a pleasure. Your instruction delivery relates to us amateurs who what to make stuff and never had a skill set. 👍

[artvndly]

You really have a lot of practical advice and information on this channel, and I bet it helps a lot of people. Most of the people watching these videos don't have tons of experience, and you are able to explain what you're doing and why in very simple terms. Wow 656K subscribers this channel must be very successful, well deserved keep up the great content.

Thank you Tamar, for this terrific video! It's clear, simple, and easy to follow. I have been making picture frame molding for the inside of wainscotting, and I needed a number of pieces with one end at 66 1/2 degrees (and the other 23 1/2). I tried free handing it the quick & dirty way, with a 45 deg block like most videos show. Things were going fine, and then on the last cut I must have moved a tiny drop and the end of the molding just fragmented like an explosion. It really scared me although my hand was no where near it. I immediately stopped and made your jig, and it feels MUCH safer. I had also cut the vertical parts too tall for my clamps so I just cut off a bit off the top and corner once it was fully assembled. One thought on the clamping, I found that clamping to the fence tends to pull the molding upward. I might to clamp to the base, maybe using Milescraft 4009 Fence clamps to make it more secure. Again, advice to the reader: If you are trying to cut extreme angles without the jig, its really dangerous! It may be because of the extreme angle, but the blade teeth seem to be more likely to grab the piece and fling around, and its VERY hard to keep it flat and tight with your fingers so close to the blade. Make this jig and you'll be good. Thanks for maker my project safer!!
