How to Make Perfect Grooves, Dados and Half Laps with a Kerfmaker Jig
Vložit

- Making Dados, Grooves and Half Laps can be tricky in the table saw when you are trying to get a tight fitting joint. This Kerfmaker jig takes all the guesswork out so you don't have to do any measuring and you get perfect results every time.
More details about this jig - www.3x3custom....
Thanks for watching!
I noticed that you have a band aid on your finger. What happened?
I sliced my finger with a bread knife while I was trying to cut open a bagel.... ha!
stay away from the kitchen 😄
Andy ha! I guess some women don’t belong in the kitchen 😉
You'd be safer cutting bagels on your table saw. Go on, I challenge you to make a jig for that :)
The Gentleman Maker hahah! You’re probably right. 🤔🤔🤔😂
I love how you own your mistakes in your videos. It's super easy to edit them out in post but I appreciate that you don't do that. I find it really helpful when you explain what went wrong. Thank you and great video!
I'd bet if Norm Abrams had a nickel for every mistake left on the cutting room floor he'd have a couple extra mil in the bank. LOL!
That is great and adds a great personal connection
Also makes me feel better for all the mistakes I make, knowing I am not the only one.
Been a fan of your video for a long time. Just got my dado set and I said to self... I know Tamar has to have something useful on dados ... and lo and behold. Ty for everything you're videos had alot to do with being inspired to take up woodworking a few years back. It's become a small passion outside my 9-5. Id be so happy to be half as good as yourself one day.
I admire this woman's genius and talent, but I just destroyed a lot of good lumber trying to make a set of drawers. Woodworking is a very humbling hobby.
😂😂
Thank you woodworking teacher Ms Tamar. Our children need more teachers like you in our schools. God bless you.
☺️☺️
These are a must have jig with plywood because they can be of different thickness from manufacture to manufacture. Awesome build/tutorial on making and how to use the jig. Looking forward to seeing the next video. Take Care.
Thanks so much Thom! So true. It’s frustrating dealing with plywood sometimes!
I do admire your skills and your ability to share knowledge because you are never considered a journeyman one if you have not traveled after your endangerment or if you can not share your knowledge . I tell my apprentices all the time knowledge is wasted if only one person has it.
I finally made one of these for myself! I’ve wanting to make one ever since I first watched your vid. It works great! What a time saver!! Thanks for the tutorial 🤟
Awesome! This makes me so happy!!!
I took your advice and I went and purchased the 10 inch Dewalt tablesaw today only because somebody came and bought my region which always gave me trouble and I must thank you for that
Awesome
i like that ya dont add music.. but i do enjoy the "white noise" . always good work , thanks. !
Thanks for the feedback! I used to add music. But it was just an extra hassle for me. Glad the videos don’t need them!
YES! Can’t take the music. No matter how good the video, if there’s music I move on.

Please No Music in the background,,,,, I'm a musician and artist,, also I like building/fixing things,, I want all of my attention on what your doing/building..
Please no music, I need some music free time when watching you doing your job.
@@hughappleton6480 Yes i agree. i would dearly appreciate the good sounds of wood buring, or wood shavings rather than the background music.
much respect!
I was so confused at the beginning wondering “what the heck is that”. Finally caught on during when you started remaking parts and assembling. You’ve sold me not only on this jig (which I’m going to make) but on the crosscut sled, I wasn’t convinced that I really needed a crosscut sled until seeing this. #sold.
Awesome. Glad it was useful!
I've seen other efforts at this, but yours is the one I'll make. Thank you
Awesome! Let me know how it goes!
Appreciate you doing this.
It would be helpful if the description of the jig at the end of the vid was moved to the beginning. Then I would have an idea of what and why you are doing stuff.
I have the Bridge City models, but to do a project, I'll be happier with several that I can set and not disturb. So thanks for an easy build.
DRaaauws . Love it. Always appreciate it.
😂😂
I couldn't quite understand what she's trying to make. Drawers, I'm assuming?
Been a woodwork all my life and watching you I"ve got to learn a lot of great ideas
Awesome to hear!
I have no prob makin lines in the center, its "cutting" on the line that trows me off.
' build some drooaz.' Lol
;)
Tamar, I can't thank you for this video. I first subscribed because I misogynistically thought, "Hey it might be nice to see someone whose hot on my feed. Turns out, you're in the top 3 of my goto most talented CZcamsrs! So, thank you for your untiring work. Its hard, its tedious, I know, so thanks!
Another cool project that can be a true time saver when doing multiple cuts for the same or similar items.There are a few safety issues with this video,though.The shot of the piece being shown to the camera directly after running through the table saw,while informative,it speaks to the issue of doing multiple tasks simultaneously.The risk for injury greatly increase when one attempts to do so,you are using very dangerous equipment with the ability to cause extreme injury and needs to be given your total concentration and respect.When you have the least bit of distraction (such as camera placement or how to present a just cut piece for the camera) is when things can go wrong in the blink of an eye.The table saw needs your complete attention if it is running,turn it off when you are doing anything else.Same for circular saws and routers.I want you to be safe so many more of your videos can be seen by the CZcams audience.Please think first of the audience that truly matters,your family, and make it a point to make safety the primary concern.Best wishes for the new year.
I love all of your stuff. So much more simple in most cases than other makers, especially for jigs. Men make "man jigs" that are way heavier than they need to be, so I'm glad to find a woman making really cool stuff that is much lighter.
Also, thank you for owning your mistakes and posting it. You have no idea how much more comfortable newbies feel when "pros" make mistakes, show how they tried to fix them, and then admitting to having to scrap something and start over. Everyone makes mistakes and I can't tell you HOW many times I've had to talk with folks (I volunteer as a supervisor in a 50+ woodshop, which means I have to teach a lot) about not being discouraged because their whatever didn't turn out exactly like the video or instructions. Matter of fact, so many instructions are lacking (or are completely wrong) in books and magazines that I've had to help patrons reverse-engineer the "instructions" going off of pictures. Yikes!
I have to explain over and over that folks who make videos for TV (and sometimes YT) have to do them over and over until whatever it is comes across as "perfect". Even have to explain that TV shows have a LOT of folks behind the scenes, doing the work, finding mistakes, dealing with suppliers and delays, and having to do 20+ takes to make sure it comes out perfectly on camera.
Thanks for reiterating that mistakes happen, especially in the prototype process. I encourage everyone who wants to follow any directions to make a cheap/scrap wood prototype to find flaws. Nothing is perfect. It means a lot that you pointed out your mistake and the attempt to correct before scrapping. Everyone needs to see that.
I see you switched from painters tape to bandaids.
Kerfmaker’s are pretty neat little tools. Really hard to explain how they work in just words.
Hahah! Well. Those were kitchen injuries, where bandaids are readily available 😂😂. It was really hard to describe how it works. I still think some ppl won’t really get it
@@3x3CustomTamar yep.... I'm one of those people. I'm totally confused on how it helped you. I'm watching this video while trying to understand what's going on. I'm a newbie. 😁
KO SESHIE sorry! I tried by best. Basically. You set it to the thickness of your material. And the screw is set to the thickness of your blade. So you can use to make perfect fitting joints. If you just used your Material as a spacer it would be too wide bc it doesn’t take the thickness of the blade into account. You can also just use a spacer that’s the thickness of your blade without this jig. But it’s fun to make and useful to have around
I just built this. Your videos are awesome and having the blueprints to print out were super helpful. My joints came out so perfectly I wish I could snap a picture. Thank you again!
Awesome! Glad it worked out for you!
Draaaws,,,,, hasta be Long Island draaws??? jk Tamar 😁😅. I LOVE IT!!! Ya oughta hear my southern draaaw.... LMBO!!!😂😂😂😂. GREAT Jig Miss Tamar!!! Ain't no stoppin ya now!!! ☆Jay☆. 👍👍
Hahaha! I can’t help myself from saying it like that 😂😂😂 thanks!
I don’t know if anyone saw it, but when my grandkids came to visit this last weekend , they also decided my workbench needed their personal touch. Gosh, looks very similar to yours now. Hugs 💕
What is a Dra one asked? Bean town speak for Drawer everywhere else 😁.
Researchers for the Massachusetts Turnpike Authority found over 200 dead crows near greater Boston recently, and there was concern that they may have died from Avian Flu. A Bird Pathologist examined the remains of all the crows, and, to everyone's relief, confirmed the problem was definitely NOT Avian Flu. The cause of death appeared to be vehicular impacts.
However, during the detailed analysis it was noted that varying colors of paints appeared on the bird's beaks and claws. By analyzing these paint residues it was determined that 98% of the crows had been killed by impact with trucks, while only 2% were killed by an impact with a car.
MTA then hired an Ornithological Behaviorist to determine if there was a cause for the disproportionate percentages of truck kills versus car kills.
The Ornithological Behaviorist very quickly concluded the cause: when crows eat road kill, they always have a look-out crow in a nearby tree to warn of impending danger.
The scientific conclusion was that while all the lookout crows could say "Cah", none could say "Truck."
Ha! That was definitely worth the read. 😂
TheFalconJetDriver USE GUYS are funny -Wanna go Too da pub ?
Worked in Louisiana !- South w/Cajuns !!
The one dat got me “ HEY ! Catch da doooer !”

TheFalconJetDriver a
ROFL 🤣
What are you, some sort of an idiot?
I'm so glad to see that this hobby has attracted more women to participate. I really love it when my wife jumps in and helps me with projects. You are an inspiration. Thank you for sharing.
I hope More women join the fun! Ha!
Hmm. What is a dra? I hav been woodworking for over 30 years and have not learned this new concept. 😄
😂😂😂 you know. The thing where you keep your car keys. But then you open it and the keys are missing.....
Hmm, what does 'hav' mean? I've been using English for over 30 years and have not learned this new word. 😁
I think you mean cah keys ;)
Hi Tamar. I really enjoy your channel watching you grow in experience and coming into your own in woodworking. You rock. Please keep them coming and bring on the sponsors. Take care.
dale jones thanks so much dale. I really appreciate that!!
I really love that center line jig!
Draws? Just kidding lol. Great video as usual
Haha! You should hear me say “coffee” 😂
LOL, yeah I'm sure. Mine is just as bad with a deep southern twang in my videos haha....
How do you say Angela ??
WannaBeWood Smith I just had to say it out loud. I think it’s normal..... ha!
@@3x3CustomTamar well I'll give you a pass if it doesn't sound like Tony Danza in Who's The Boss Ang-A-Ler
Thanks for sharing. Nice design and build. Appreciate the fact that you kept your "mistake" in as we can learn from that too!
Thanks! That’s the hope!
I have been away for awhile. Now that I have returned home, I am catching up. I honestly needed to revisited this last video and I'm glad I did. One word, "Brilliant." Many thanks!
Glad you liked it!
This is going to be the next jig I make. I have a project that needs dados and I have no patience for using shims. SO time-consuming. I've always used a set up block to account for the kerf of my blade when cutting dados without measuring. This has the set up block (in the way of a screw) integrated. Awesome!
Hi im a total newb just waiting for my workshop to be installed. I have most of the larger tools needed but most are still boxed till i get my workshop. Thank you for your no nonsense videos love your attitude towards making anything you do especially if you make a mistake ...... look forward to following your other ideas on her.
Glad you like it! Thanks!
Hard work and diligence here. Inspiring!
Thank you for highlighting this useful jig and showing your build of it, and especially for making a mistake and showing it! So many of these channels never show the mistakes you know have to happen; no one does it right the first time 100% of the time! And it is useful to see how people recover from mistakes, and refreshing to see that even the pros make them :-)
I have yet to build something without making a mistake..:
I have seen lots of kerf makers, yours is another very good build, like it very much, Thanks for not adding music. Well done.
Thanks! Glad you like it
You are a freaking genius! I know this was a few years ago, but I just found it when I searched for ideas on making drawers. I'm about to make my first one. I'm making this, first.
Clever girl. I LIKE Your videos a lot. Some time I have to See Them several times to get All the points. Thanks to beeing honest, when You miss Your goal, but still keeps moving on.
Its VERY refreshing. Well done!
👍🏾🌹🌹🌹
Glad you like them
Nice work. Like your no-nonsense video style (thanks for not wasting our time). I’m from the South and I love your accent.
Ha! Never realized I had an accent till I started posting to CZcams. Glad you liked the video!
That little neat device with a pencil @ 1:00 just made my day! Exactly what I need.
Haha nice
I was about to buy one of these and decided to look for plans instead. I’ve watched many of your videos and so yours was the first recommended. I’m looking forward to this build and using this tool.
Awesome
Nice. your video speaks more explanations than words. Thank you
Glad you like it. Thanks
You are so inventive. I like the two demonstrations you offered. I would have liked to see the jig in action making a half-lap.
Thanks! It’s basically the same thing as a dado. You just make 2 of them that are the same size as the pieces you want to connect
You showed a technique that I had not thought about on cutting the dado for a dra 🤪 bottom, pretty clever. Thanks.
Haha! Thanks!
Thanks for the rip cut setup. All other videos only show dado cuts with the miter gauge.
Such a handy jig, thank you for your honest style presentation. making an error and not trying to hide it is refreshing. Cheers from OZ.
Glad you liked it!
Nice! I am here after seeing you use your kerf maker on your 6 experimental 90 degree jigs video you just posted!
👍👍
Faster and simpler than how I have done it for longer than you have been alive. Great job.
Ha! Thanks
Draw drawer (“drore”)...I known New Yorkers who, despite exhibiting few traces of “Brooklynese,” pronounce “drawer” as if it were “draw.”* These are folks, mind you, who pronounce each and every other r, yet still maintain this r-less exception. So what’s with “draw?”*”Drawers,” meaning undergarments and/or pants, almost certainly has the same etymology. As always, love love love your videos..Sunday morning coffee with Tamar!
😂
I am so glad I found your channel. I've been wanting to make the "Kerfmaker" for a while now. The ones I've seen are either too kludgie or incomplete and the commercial ones are way too expensive. The only mod I'm making to yours is to use a round brass knob instead of a wingnut, but your design is awesome! Thank you!
So glad you found it too! Ha! I would have loved to use a brass knob in this. Def would have set it off.
Just made this jig today! It's been on my list for a while. I've seen other kerfmaker designs but they did not appeal to me as much as this one. Anyway, it took probably a lot longer to make it than it ought to have but I had fun anyway. Another great design from 3X3 Custom. Thanks.
Awesome! I love this little thing.
This was the first of your videos where I was nervous watching your hands (and arms) around the saw and router table. Please take care!
You are a very interesting lady, so open and honest about your work and how you get there! Love it, keep going.........please
That's a really nifty tool. Especially for those who have table saws which cant fit a dado stack (such as myself). Thanks Tamar!
Awesome! Glad it was helpful
Tamar, I enjoy your videos very much. I like your style. I like how you admit your mistakes. I make them all the time-it's nice to know you pros make them, too. THANK YOU, GOOD JOB!!
Thanks so much! Glad you like my flaws. Ha
great work lady glad to see all of you taking up a great hobby
Very nice! I bought one of these from Bridge City Tools about 10 years ago when they first made them, and it was quite spendy. I enjoyed you presentation on how this jig works, thanks for posting.
Thanks for watching! Their jig looks really sweet. Do you still use it?
I have created my own Kerf Maker using a piece of 2x4, creating a slot on the top board and a hole on the bottom. I have used it and it works like a champ. I made mine about 7 " Long, 1" Wide and 1" Tall for both boards. I used a a long bolt and some washers with a knob on the end and it's a done deal.
Cool
I wish I had found this channel sooner. But I’m glad I found it.
Ha. Glad you found it too
Some great tips there, like the idea of using a brad point drill bit to mark the centre between a slot. So simple but it had never occurred to me before. Thanks for sharing.
Awesome. So glad it was informative.
That's really cool. That would make it so easy with something simple you can make.
Glad you like it! This one one of my favorite little jigs
@@3x3CustomTamar I'm looking forward to trying it out
Very cool. I like that it's smaller than other jigs I've seen. I'm glad i watched.
I just put it to good use yesterday. I’m happy I made it!
This is fantastic! I don’t yet have a table saw or skills required to make this but as those things change in the future I will certainly be coming back to this video!
Awesome! You’ll get there!
As always another great video. Love your accent helps make you who you are. Pretty neat jig too.
Thanks so much! I never realized I had an accent.... ha
LOVIT ! I’ll be making mine today as my Table Saw worked just fine without a Dado stack tyvm, Well Done !
Thx’s
Awesome. Have fun with it!
Love your videos, just made the kerfmaker and it works great. Will be making the cross-cut sled next month for my new table saw. Thank you.
Thanks! Awesome
Hi from the UK Super vid great jig sure there are simpler ways but who cares, love watching you always have a giggle! thanks, and keep out of the kitchen!
Haha! Will do. Thanks!
Such a great idea! I really want to start using dados in my future cabinets more and this would be the perfect solution!
Awesome. Glad it was helpful!
You are BOSS Tamar! I love how talented you are, but also super admire your workbench art! Tell your little one I said “Bellissimo”!
Haha! Thanks! I’ll relay the message ☺️
so cute the way you say drawerrrrr , I love watching your videos , clear and easy to follow ,I'm going to watch them all . Good job.
Hahah thanks so much!
Just stumbled on your channel. Nice to see a woman kicking ass in the shop. You got a new sub :-)
Awesome! Thanks!
Love this. Certainly are easier designs but your demo is excellent
Hi Tamara, thanx for all the inspiring videos you put on the channel. Though I live in Sweden and some of the products you use are hard to find, your ideas are inspiring and helpful.
Toda and Shalom
Glad you like them! And sorry to hear. I’m sure there are some alternatives available there... bevakasha and shalom!
i was already impressed with your crosscut sled but a kerfmaker i never even heard of. genious! gotta build one of those too. thanks for the tip. love your channel btw ☺️👍
Thanks so much! Awesome! I love this little jig
I ❤ this woman and her skilles.
Сначало ставлю лайк,потом просмотр. Твои видео всегда смотрю с удовольствием. Тамара,ты молодец,умница,красавица. Ты прелесть.👍
thank you Tamar . now i understand how it works .
Brilliant video with my coffee this morning!!!
👍👍
Your videos are awesome. Keep them coming! Praying you do some more collab with Jonathan and get some more of these really useful jigs out there for sale. The value of getting a finished jig that is dead on accurate is so useful. I have used your router jig countless times and while I could make one I just don't want to invest the time and I'm not sure it would be as accurate.
We needed this Tamar! Thank you!
Awesome
You're a router table ninja master. Love this jig, too.
Finding out you say a word weird is kind of funny. When I was in Vermont, I learned that us Midwest folks say "root" differently (we rhyme it with foot instead of boot).
Ha! I’ve never heard anyone say it like that! It was very strange when I realized I say a word funny. I’ve gone my whole life not knowing this about myself 😂
Never a mistake, but a way of knowing how it will not work. Thank you.
Yup!
Lady this is up with the best from everywhere! Nice explanations to follow and I will be looking for a Kerfmaker or follow your good clear instructions. Very good Teacher, You got the gift!
Thanks!
Awesome idea and realization, as always😁. But shivers ran down my spine seeing you reaching with your hand over the spinning bare saw blade, as I made it a habit, never to reach in this direction, unless the blade is at a standstill 😉
What a great little jig!
Thanks!
That's such a great little jig!
Glad you like it!
Once again, I love it! I like the majority of your safety practice - way better than all the videos on here 💕🤓
Thanks! I appreciate that
So even professionals make mistakes! Well done for showing us 👍! Nice jig!
Yup! Thanks!
Great design and presentation! We really do learn best from our mistakes! Regarding that: It makes me nervous when someone drills into a hand held piece with a small diameter drill bit. If the bit snaps, the broken end still in the drill is not only spinning, but also aimed straight at your hand. I still keep clean towel and a box of bandaids ready since there are so many ways to slice into skin! Also, don’t buy a belt sander with a front handle shaped too much like the front end of the exposed belt. Yes, I grabbed mine there. The lady at Urgent Care asked me if I had an appointment. I told her I wasn’t planning to injure myself, so no. I didn’t.
Thanks for the tips!
Love your videos. Perfect detail level and speed. I also enjoy the parts where you mess up things, makes me feel a bit better about my own mistakes :-)
Thanks for the feedback! I worry about being rushed. But also about being boring.... it’s a hard medium to get to! I learn from all my mistakes. Hope you guys will to!
I love seeing young people developing their skills. Two tips learned the hard way. #1 no such thing as too sharp. #2 if your angel quietly asks, ‘are you sure you want to do that?’ Listen then rethink.
Ha! Good tips.
That jig is genious! Awesome work.
Thanks! The original idea is not my own. So can’t take credit for its genius. This is just my take on it.
Good evening, it was great, this is creativity, it makes work easier, it's practical and accurate. I'm from Brazil, it's in Portuguese.
Thanks so much!
You never failed to amaze me!
Keep the videos coming.
Thanks!
*You are amazing, my dear. I also love wood and I work in the woodworking business*
What a great idea for accurate groove cutting
As always, your instructional video is spot on, and very interesting. Thank you so much for taking the time to share your woodworking prowess with us.
So glad you like it! Thanks!
I just found this video and it is a great jig! I am going to try and make it and I will report back on how it goes. Keep up the great work! I am always looking forward to seeing the next video.
Awesome! Have fun with it!
Nice addition of the runner, well done! I'll be making one of these soon. Thanks for a great video.
Thanks 👍Glad you liked it! Have fun with the build!
I love your work..congratulations.
Thanks!
Hello, it is a very good video, it seems complicated because of the good and perfect that the tool is, but it is worth it, also to say that I have seen almost all your videos and I am very happy with the good quality of the projects, thank you very much and greetings.
Awesome to hear! Thanks!
