Excellent video Matt. Nothing like minimizing the amount of measuring required for a project. I'm all for that.

I’ve watched several videos on the JessEm dowel jig and got next to nothing out of them. Your video/tutorial was excellent! So calm and informative. I kept thinking I didn’t want the JessEm because of all the clamping where other ones were self centering. I am convinced this is the one that I’m going to get. Thanks you. Excellent excellent video!!

I have been using this jig for few years, never thought of using this way, thank you.

excellent Matt, first time I have understood doweling jigs

[samla]

I don't have a doweling jig yet and I'm thinking about getting one sometimes soon. This video really convinced me to go with the Jessem as now I can see how this jig is very well engineered especially if used correctly. Ty sir

Them Jessem tools are beatiful and very well made. Canadians make some excellent tools

i've used a dowelmax for years, now i'm building a new router table with jessem stuff. the quality is excellent and they are all made here in canada. dowelmax used to be made in canada, not anymore.
i visited the jessem factory in new brunswick canada in august and was sold on their router table stuff. amazing people and facility

Hi Matt, I really appreciated the Jessem stainless steel metric jig video and purchased a jig and have now received it. I was intrigued with the follow up video where someone criticized the strength of the s/s jig compared to the cast aluminium jig. OMG the s/s jig is of thick s/s and even if abused would not go out of shape and th3 fine adjustment is brilliant. Thanks!

I was watching a video with a bunch of marking and started to reconsider the jig… However you have confirmed the effective procedure and I will proceed with my purchase. On behalf of Jessem and all Canadians we thank you for your service.

Great video, I love the instruction based upon the physical dimensions of the jig and the lumber rather than a lecture on measuring and marking to match.

Thanks so much. You did an excellent job of explaining the process simply and clearly.

I’ve been on the fence about this jig. After watching your demonstration, I’m sold! Your tutorial is the simplest yet most understandable and easiest to follow. Great job and thank you. Btw, JessEm should sponsor you 👊🏽

[mikeellis]

I have had the jig for a bit but was not using it properly. Thank you very much for this great video!

[tommc]

Very well explained. I bought the jig on sale a while back and only used it once. This was a great refresher. Thanks for posting.

[gatordontplay]

Matt, thank you for this instructional video. Much easier to understand than the other videos out there. JessEm needs to reach out to you for their instructional videos.

[garyjillson]

Would like to see you do a face frame.
Your demo is by far the most effective and simplest use of the jig I’ve seen.

[ChrisHornberger]

Nice! The alignment pin/slot makes 100% of the difference with literally EVERY other doweling jig.

[charlesgriffin]

Thanks for showing the vertical T-joint setup. Lots of videos showing the JessEm jig doing other types of joints but this is the only one that I found with what I wanted to see. I'm surprised the JessEm marketing videos didn't include it. You got a subscribe and thumbs up on this video from me.

[ToddHudsonAtl]

Very very very useful video. I bought this jig and have been very confused by its proper use. Thank you for taking the time to make and post.
