Are you a teacher? Because your ability to break things down and explain them in a way anyone can understand is uncanny. Thanks for creating your content!

[petergross]

Finally a channel that cares to teach you what things are and makes it easy. Not shows off epoxy slabs and more about showmanship and making entertainment. Thank you very much for your work.

[freddiedoyle]

There are hundreds of skilled woodworkers on you tube, and this young woman is certainly among the best. But what really sets her apart is how well she presents the information . Clear, concise and with zero errogants ! This is one favorite channels thanks for all you do !!

[montauked]

I was a finish carpenter for 25 years building very high end houses in the Hamptons. I appreciate your teaching skills as well as your woodworking expertise. You are very good at what you do.

[ptousig]

I've watched a lot of joinery tutorials on YouTube in the last couple years, this is probably the best one I've seen.
It was clear and concise.

Bonus points for having a sponsored product that actually looks interesting. I didn't even skip over it.

The three-way bridal joint snapping together was chefs-kiss.

[joberthalib]

I’ve been woodworking for 37 years, from green woodworking to full machine cabinet shop, and yet I always learn something from you. You are the best!

[mikery]

It is remarkable how much quality information you were able to share with us in just 26 minutes. You not only educate, but you also entertain. This video was just superb.

[paulcurtis]

Sometimes we all need a refresher on the basics. This was really good, thank you.

[ThereIsNoRoot]

I've seen over a hundred woodworking videos over the years but I've learned more from this one than most of those combined. Phenomenal!

[fitzwilliamdarsey]

I'm a self taught woodworker with a lousy teacher. Therefore, I'm constantly searching for informative videos. Yours are some of the best. I always learn something. Thanks, and keep up the great work

[TimEpperson]

This is probably the most comprehensive description of joinery. It should be included in all woodworking classes ever. It is obvious that you committed a lot of time to this video. Thank you so much!

[mmoncur]

I've done casual woodworking for 20 years and have watched many videos about various kinds of joinery. I seriously understand the whole thing MUCH BETTER after watching this single video. Thanks so much!

[celticcraps]

Remarkable. Great summary of many different joinery techniques in one place. Thanks for putting this out there and all the time and effort behind the scenes. Jim

[shakoorcornelius]

Timeless advice. Absolutely the best joinery tutorial I've watched. I've watched dozens and yet I've learnt and understood more from you. Thorough and well presented. Had me hooked the whole 25 minutes. Keep em coming!

[robertapreston]

Again, after the hundreds oh hours of woodworking videos I've seen, this explains the joinery uses, physics, and procedure beautifully. Thanks 💯

[oldporkchops]

I've watched a ton of other videos on joinery and joinery strength tests, but the straw analogy I've only seen on Tamar's channel. Thank you for making this so crystal (visually) clear for us. The visual analogy + actually adding screws and glue to the straws really cemented my understanding of why other joinery techniques might be better. Thanks, Tamar.

[mgurbulak]

Amazing content. Most other woodworkers are trying to be funny while they are totally boring and cheesy. Your videos are so full of information and they are still fun to watch. Thank you for producing high quality content. I'm usually into leathercraft and there are so many high quality content available. But for woodworking most of the content is cheesy and full of promotion, clown-like acts etc. You are amazing.

[letitiakiu]

I really appreciate such a thorough breakdown, and you make woodworking so approachable! Thank you

[jrosner]

My favorite aspect of your tutorials is that you get straight to the point, and emphasize all of the right info. Perfect teaching style, helps a bunch!
