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!
Haha. Nope. Maybe being a mom helps 🤷🏻♀️😂
My thoughts exactly. I love how her style is completely ego free and never condescending. Tamar is great. And as an Oregonian, I love the way she says “drawers”! Awesome accent, so fun to listen to.
@@3x3CustomTamar
Indeed. Being a "mom" certainly helps. The fact you haven't been obliged to put out a contract on your offspring, aka "oxygen thieves" is a testament to your resilience and equanimity in the face of adversity.
Mind you when your issue start bringing their boy/girlfriends home that's another matter altogether.
After surviving parenthood anything else is but a walk in the park.
I am absolutely convinced you will cobble up plenty of "glulams" or "engineered lumber" items and cobble up a timber skyscraper in your back garden ... just because you can.
In fact I've set my heart on it.
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Yes, she teaches woodworking on CZcams.
@@joberthalib9951, hers is a Lawn Gyland inflection.
The three-way bridal joint snapping together was chefs-kiss.
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.
☺️☺️
I've watched a lot of joinery tutorials on CZcams 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.
Haha nice. Glad you liked it!
Buy a chisel, a tenon saw and try some actual joinery.
@@paulbabione4060 Otherwise known as "joinery" ;)
@@3x3CustomTamar sure, even me, I like it and want it to do.
Neither did I 😂 I want one
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 !!
☺️☺️ so awesome to hear
Wholeheartedly agree.
No superfluous information, which indicates a rare intellect and dedication - it's very difficult!
No bs, which the trades desperately need.
And then there's just straight up her skills.
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!
That is so awesome to hear. Wow!
Funny, I've been woodworking for over 50 years and am getting a little tired of people showing their limitations on video, then going on to lecture about how it should be done properly...
@@silknfeathers snoodlepetch gerchaferton.
@@silknfeathers you might know a lot about woodworking but maybe you could brush up on your being nice
@@silknfeathers , it's hard for me to believe it you were as good when you were her age. Just a hunch...
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!
Awesome to hear! Thanks so much!
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!
So glad you think so!
Another great video. You are very talented in your presentation. I am math teacher at vocational school who also happens to be a woodworker. I passed this along to the building trades teacher. He does a little cabinet making at the end of the year.
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.
Sometimes we all need a refresher on the basics. This was really good, thank you.
Awesome to hear!
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
Thanks awesome to hear!
Love the video, you got everything right. No "ums", no annoying music, just the info that is needed, i.e. no blabbering, great explanations, great videography and editing. imo making a quality, enjoyable video is a lot harder than the wooding and you did both very well
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!
Tamar you do such a great job of explaining things in a way that makes it easy for anyone to understand!
Always enjoy watching your videos - You are so creative!
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.
Great information Tamar and as always you explain everything so well. Thanks for taking the time to do this!
Thanks so much for this fantastic video. Such a good primer on the topic. I passed it on to a young woodworker who is just getting started. This is going to be my recommended go-to guide for anyone starting out.
Thank you for your videos, it has been a really big help in jump starting my woodworking creativity. I really like how you make your own jigs for just about everything. It helps to simplify things, Huge thanks for how you explain your process, with precision and detailed information.
I absolutely love your channel. This video brilliantly explains joinery, in a way I have never seen anyone else do it before. Thank you so much.
Outstanding video ! You’ve just reignited my passion for woodworking! Thank you !
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!
I really appreciate such a thorough breakdown, and you make woodworking so approachable! Thank you
Awesome to hear!
I love the visual aids with the straw analogy. Really brings your point home.👍🏻
You have no idea how much you help us by sharing your knowledge and experiences about Woodworking. Thank you very much! You are so amazing!
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
I now manage and run a non-profit woodworking makerspace and this video is perfect for a lot of my members, many of whom have basic woodworking skills. This is a great video that helps them understand joinery better and sets them on the path to trying new things out. Thank you so much for this and all your amazing content.
You're such an amazing person Tamar, even I as a non woodworker fully understand how to make things easy with woodworking. Keep upm the good work! Have a great day!
Really enjoy your tutorials. I also love that you show pieces that didn't work over time. Your personality is also perfect for a long video!
This is one of my favorite videos now - thank you!! The scope and easy-to-grasp explanations with examples are perfect!
Awesome to hear
Amazing! Just enough detail, packed with information, but also quick. Love it and I’ll save this as a reference for a long time.
Nice.
Thank you for compiling all of this in one place! Very helpful!
Wow I watch a lot of woodworking videos and you explain things so much better than most. Thank you!
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.
Yes that made it so clear.
15:36 You could also remove the blade thickness from your first shim, in some cases it might be easier! Great video with lots of good info
Thank you ma'am I'm 22 yrs old from Philippines It is actually tropical island and I love woodworking because of my Curiosity and my new hobby
Sincere thank you for the clarity and excellent editing of this video!
This is the best joinery reference I've seen. You actually taught me the "why" behind different joinery methods, which no one has so far. If you put out a shop reference, I'd buy it!
Awesome. Once you understand the why, it all clicks!
And another solid video. Thanks Tamar, just starting my journey, and absolutely been loving your content. I was just thinking to myself, how much I needed a better way, other than pencil-and-book-in-my-back-pocket, style. That thing looks awesome! I'll for sure snag one!
How well does it do with drawing? My oldest daughter is huge into drawing.
So glad you liked it! So it’s not really meant for drawing as much as it is note taking. Like it’s for quick sketches and keeping yourself organized. That being said, my daughter who loves to draw has been playing with it too… ha
My daughter draws on her 2-in-1 PC, an Acer Spin 3, that has an active stylus. It's similar to what a lot of digital artists have been using for years. Whatever you get for someone doing drawing, you want a pressure-sensitive pen, as that lets them draw more like with traditional media. A lot of artists love using the Apple iPads and Samsung Galaxy S tablets for that, as they're high-quality and the "pens" for them are very good.
@@bloodgain wow !! Thanks for this !! An amazing bonus to this fantastic video ! Very needed for the next birthday gift I was about to have to research !
@@shanonearls6945 I'm glad my random comment helped somebody!
Simply one of the best woodworking videos I've seen. Really looking forward to exploring all of your videos. Thank you!!!!
You are amazing. What a teacher. What a presenter Thank you
Really great video and survey of different types of joints. The straw thing was really illustrative, great job!
One thing I would add is (at least my view) dowels are also a type of loose tenon, so should be included in that group.
As to the doweling jig, never a fan of self centering versions (thought can be very useful in other situations)because I found out that wood from the home center (in my early experience), even plywood, was not quite the same thickness so both sides of the piece needed to be sanded (or whatever) being very frustrating early on. Only once I got myself a Dowelmax (not advocating for a specific brand, just suggesting a "precision" doweling jig) did I get the results I was looking for minimizing work.
Additionally, one thing to note regarding applying some type of loose tenon as compared to more conventional mortise/tenon is the wood cost can be quite a bit less (no need to buy more wood to accommodate the joint) that today can be significant cost saving making using more expensive woods a bit more accessible.
Lastly, a Domino is not the only option for automation of the loose tenon process, something like a Mafell ddf 40 has much the same function as a Domino (except using Dowels) at almost the same price. Not going to get into pros/cons as each has their strengths. Just saying other options exist.
Great job!
I found there's a little learning curve to self centering dowel jig. I build live edge table tops, which usually involves putting 2-3 pieces of wood together. I lay my pieces together and put a piece of tape on the top to identify it's the top and if its front, middle or back. Then measure/mark each dowel placement, always measuring off the same side (usually from the right side for me). Next I clamp the board in so the top side (with the tape on it) always faces me. So if there's any inaccuracies in the jig, your dowel pins will still line up.. Does this make sense? Nothing more frustrating than when your seams don't line up right.😡
@@lumberjill6598 Thanks for the tip! However, what I'm talking about is not so much inaccuracy in the jig (your suggestions factoring the variability out), but the slight inconsistency in thickness of the pieces being put together.
What I am saying is that in my experience two pieces even having very slight differences in thicknesses (like taking a longer board that has been jointed and planed being cut down to form a wider board, the planning process not being perfect) create a very slight ridge on both sides of the glued piece based on the centering nature of the jig, just causing more sanding and flattening. Depending on the degree of "ridge", the resulting work can be quite extensive.
What I'm suggesting is a precision jig mostly eliminates the issue (or at least moves the issue to one side of the glue up) by measuring/offsetting from one face allowing the face not having the exact offset to be treated more aggressively, often with less work.
For example, if gluing up a cutting board (this is just an example, as you may not need to use dowels at all) one face will be almost perfectly aligned, only needing light sanding. The other side can be planed then sanded.
In the above example I'm just dealing with boards that are edge glued for illustration, but where I find a precision jig most important is when butting up two board (face frame, table top skirt, whatever) end grain to long grain, where you want the joint to be exact. This is where a precision jig (and an exact offset) really shines because the differences in board thickness are not really at issue (and can be factored out!) making life much, much easier.
All I am saying is in my experience precision jigs can be worth the money ($200-300) having their values in confidence, precision, time, less wasted material, and less time (and things like sanding) that can greatly reduce frustration.
@@quargr Agreed. Speaking of precision, I always wondered why people spend so much money on straight edges and squares, like from Woodpecker. Until I found my square (off the shelf from local hardware store) wasn't square anymore. Talk about frustrating! As my skill level increases, so does the price and quality of my tools! 😁 Thanks for the conversation Robert, have a great day!
@@lumberjill6598 Hi, Ya, the measuring and layout tools can be very expensive when you move into the likes of Woodpecker, often as expensive as some equipment (perhaps more) so see why beginning people skip the expense, at least initially. Some less expensive options exist but are generally not considered as "robust" as Woodpecker, though may be good for those beginning. The blemished/cosmetic seconds of PEC combo squares over at Taytools is a good example.
Also, when it comes to Woodpecker, depending on the tool(watch out), you can get a lifetime guarantee, so I assume the cost of the tool includes the possibility of replacements/adjustments over the tools lifetime.
To any "new" woodworker, in my view, I would suggest one or two of the more expensive marking/measuring tools as it is more than just marking and measuring your layout, it is as much or more about tool alignment, even needing to do so for power tools right out of the box! Nothing worse than from day one wondering why boards won't quite come together, being off that little bit. Even trimming that little bit still finding the cut is just not quite square. Wow, frustration! The first thought (and wasted time) is you are doing something wrong relying on the reference tool to be straight or square, the reference tools not quite being straight or square over its length.
Basically, a few good reference tools can go a long way toward avoiding the frustration of other tools being out that little bit, often making some of the less expensive power tools just a joy to use...as long as they last, or indicating that the purchased tool should be returned pronto.
I appreciate the dialog.
@bourbonmothwoodworking also made a joinery video and made load tests. He found out that the simple mighter joint was the 2nd best in performance. Seems like cutting a 45° angle at the butt end significantly strengthened the joint.
He also determined that the mitre joint with the spline was far stronger than a lot of other ones.
And also second most likely one to get loose without any force applied (after a longraing-to-endgrain butjoint).
Use better joints.
So much to absorb here, I’ll watch this many times to reap the benefits of your advice. Many thanks and lots of respect!
This is such a fantastic video. It's lifetime of experience and learning expressed concisely in an easy to understand fashion and you don't oversimplify anything.
First of all, I love your channel. I've learned a lot, like how to make a portable mft table. Now, about the gluing science. I would highly recommend the host and the viewers alike review what Patrick Sullivan has to say about glue myths in his scientific research into the matter. I dare say that he is THE woodworkers professor that we owe ourselves to learn from. Also, his above par designs are usually available for free download. If you've made it this far in the comment, and you'd like the TLDR: he says that perfection in miter joinery (not more than 0.25 of a degree) is key for glue strength.
Yeah, or just using a stronger joint to begin with.
@@ABaumstumpf What joint do you suggest, a tenon joint? Btw, have you checked out the Patrick Sullivan video? As for me, I'm a total noob, so I value the options of those more experienced than I. Everything I do is challenging and time-consuming - it's hilarious. But there some improvement. Lol
@@nickburak7518 "What joint do you suggest, a tenon joint?"
None - cause there is no "best" joint as each has their own pros and cons.
But one thing can be said: Avoid buttjoints - they are the weakest joints by far.
I would like to say is you have given me the desire to get back into my home workshop, you take real time to explain and the entire process. I truly like you're teaching style and the time you take to compare and explain the different types of ways to connect would together. Please continue to deliver such a beautiful messages and teaching styles I love your channel.

Another great video!! Your videos are an incredible contribution to our craft and the woodworking community!
Outstanding teacher, I always learn something when I watch. Thanks.
I just wanted to say thank you for this video. This video is excellent and your explanations are incredibly easy to follow. I learned a ton from this. Excited for more!
Thankyou so much for sharing all you know about working with wood. You are awesome!
I like your film style. Walking into frame, it's unique and part of your brand. I love it.
been watching woodworking videos for over a year and there were some jaw dropping "ooooooh" moments here. thank you!
Love your jointing presentation. Very comprehensive. Thanks very useful.
Thank you. Educators like you teach us by encouraging us to try, and we only learn by doing, even when we fail.
Many of us like woodworking as a hobby, like myself have only a job site Saw stop table saw, but we can adapt by learning to make a small cross cut sled. Hope you can continue to teach so we can continue to learn.
There is so much value in this video. Wow. Thanks for taking the time to go through each joint like that.
I find it so easy to binge watch your videos. Thank you for this video!
Love your vids. You're a natural at imparting knowledge. Thank you.
Love your channel so much glad I found it. As a beginner I’ve been learning a lot and enjoying every minute of it. Thank you.
I love your videos, Tamar!! Discovered you during the pandemic and you’re a lifesaver!!! Love the way you teach! Many thanks!!
Thanks for this video. I love the slow patient way you break down the topics into bite sized pieces my brain can understand. Perfect pacing.
I need to put this video on rotation. Lots of great info here. Thank you.
Informative with a relatable feel. I swear you always answer the question you inspire in me.
Thanks for the captivating videos
I'm not only going to save this video on favourites, I'm also going to play it in my workshop, on a loop, 24/7. Really this is superb content. I can't stress enough how helpful your videos are, to me they're the living proof that ingenuity beats everything else. The jigs you make are fantastic and I really like that you always cover different ways and tools to get the job done. You're truely an inspiration. Thanks for the amazing work you do.
Absolutely spectacular woodworking education
I'm just getting into building stuff like this and your vid is pure gold for a novice, thanks!
Great lesson, Tamar. Thanks for posting, and thumbs up!
Thanks for sharing your expertise and breaking it down to being able to understand easily, it's greatly appreciated 🙏
I am so new starting out and this was the best video ever in this topic. Just wow. You have a fantastic way of teaching! Thank you so much
This was the best explainer on joints I've heard. Thank you!
My new go to channel! Thanks!!
Massive thanks for this video. You explain simple concepts in a simple way which really hooks in a beginner like me to learn the fundamentals.
I have not watched many joinery videos but I am glad I found yours so early on. Bookmarked this video !!
Great video, it was a comprehensive and easy to understand explanation of the various jointing methods used in woodworking. I look forward to watching and learning from more of your videos.
Master class on joinery. Bravissimo!
Excellent intro to joinery. Explained simply while keeping my attention throughout the video … thanks … that’s usually hard to do! I loved your comment at the end about joinery snobs. And like computers, it all depends on the application to determine what you need! I’m certainly going to tackle some of these with my simple collection of tools. 😁
Love your channel. Make everything easy to understand.
Great job! You made all joints look easy and fun! Bravo!
Best information, complete and clear. None better.
This was an excellent joinery video. Learning the why is very important. I’ve seen many other videos but you’ve broken it down big time. Great work!!!
Just found your channel and absolutely love it!!! Absolutely love the educational nature of it. I’m just getting into woodworking and it’s been so helpful!! Thank you!! Please keep the educational/explanatory videos like this coming!! 😊👍
I love all the home made tools. They make everything so much easier.
Hey thanks for giving so many options for how to make each single joint type, much appreciated having a somewhat limited tool set! Best video that woodworkers don't really want to watch (but should).
Thank you for making the distinction between where a groove & a dado go in relationship to the direction of the wood grain. IT’S A HUGE HELP!!!!!. Did I mention it’s a Huge help!? There are many videos that don’t accounts for this important factor. Thanks again for the important info.
as a ReMarkable 2 owner, I love the ReMarkable portion of the video!
thank you very much for your wise and helpful teachings!
Wow! Super helpful. I need to make a load of boxes for storage so I am going to work through these joints starting from butt joints and building up.
For about 6 months I’ve been diving deeper into woodworking. I discovered you along the way and all of your videos are so helpful and inspiring! It’s also really cool to see the progression of your shop! A little envious if I’m being honest! Also inspiring! Nice work!
I've just found out about your channel and I am a massive fan. Will keep binge-watching your videos but your work will help me so much with mine. Thanks a lot for creating your channel
Wow this was wonderfully useful; you did an amazing job of walking the edge of accessibility and complexity. Thank you! I feel I'll need to watch this a few times, and sample some of these techniques, to really allow all of this info sink in.
An excellent tutorial and reminder to use some of these joints in my woodwork...
More of these wood working basics please!!
Great overview video, so much information with supporting clips in under thirty minutes!
What an amazing video, i'm sure there are even experienced woodworkers that have still learned something from this. You have a really great way of explaining everything. great job!
Thanks - wish you were around thirty years ago when I started! Still learned such a lot from you. Really excellent tutorial.
Wow didn’t know all that about grain direction and expansion. Most instructional woodworking video on CZcams. Thank you!
So much great information. I'm hoping to start learning woodworking in a few months and this video has helped demystify so much about joinery! Thank you!
I am very interested in this field. Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart for sharing your knowledge
Your content is outstanding. Thank you for taking the time to share your knowledge.
Wow, this video is so clear and informative. Many thanks for sharing your knowledge!
That was Awesome! I'll be back for a refresher.
Great video. One of the best I have seen about joinery. Will come back to it often for sure
