[@garychadwick1240]

I have watched all of your videos and learned so much. Not a second of my time was ever wasted. A genuine thank you!

[@10MinuteWorkshop]

Thank you! 🙌👍

[@geromemezo1277]

Haven't watched all of them, still working my way through, but couldn't agree with you more when you say '' Not a second of my time was ever wasted '' A great bit of luck finding this channel for me. Cheers

[@romalanmoodley8504]

i couldn't agree anymore to your message

[@Viken43]

Finally Mr M shows us weekend woodworkers how to produce domino style accurate joints at beer money prices 😀 ... This is why I subscribed to the channel

[@10MinuteWorkshop]

Thanks Kevin! 👍

[@bighands69]

Unless you can reference of the edge of your panel or bit of wood it is impossible to use those little jigs accurately.

[@iankearns]

With years of using dowels in the past I never knew that about using the notch on the dowel guide when doing a T joint. Every day is a learning day. Nice work Peter!

[@10MinuteWorkshop]

Thanks Ian! 👍👍

[@RobertLuciani]

I had the exact same "ahhhhhhhhhh ok" moment.

[@paulwaite6777]

Same, fantastic!

[@williamjrcartwright]

Me too! Feeling very stupid now!!

[@billmckillip1561]

I bought one of those about 20 years ago at a flea market for a dollar. I never did figure out how to use it properly - now I know. Thanks!

[@10MinuteWorkshop]

Thanks! 🙌👍

[@deanowright359]

I have been meaning to buy a dowel jig , just a hobbyist, this is a great alternative to the festool .

[@productiontouring9884]

A link for this video should come with every dowel jig, great job PM.

[@10MinuteWorkshop]

Now *that* would get the viewing numbers up! Thanks! 👍👍

[@markkoons7488]

At the moment you have a 99.7% approval rate of this video. You've earned it. Thank you.

[@10MinuteWorkshop]

Thank you! 👍👍

[@823Steve]

The "quick tip" at the end was super excellent!

[@10MinuteWorkshop]

Glad it helped! 👍

[@williamfotiou7577]

Great video, some new ideas and techniques. Thank you.

[@dannycampbell6223]

Brilliant videos, love your channel Peter.

[@10MinuteWorkshop]

Cheers Danny! 🙌👍

[@patricksmith4424]

Thanks so much for this video, I think I now know how to use a dowel jig! The using the point of the drill bit to mark is especially useful.

[@ChickenDinnerz]

I can't believe how useful that jig is. Especially the t junction method.

[@10MinuteWorkshop]

Yes, very! Mighty impressive for a pocket-money jig. 👍

[@drewcar1958]

Might I suggest you use a centre punch to make an initial guide for the drill. They help when the dowel jig' 'blinds' locating the holes to be drilled. Works fine on smooth mdf surface but not very good on unfaced chip/particle board. But I have to say I have recently discovered your channel and I find its no nonsense approach refreshing and a good ten minutes time well spent.

[@10MinuteWorkshop]

Thanks, and welcome! 👍👍

[@mrhdurban-jackson5716]

Just bought the jig. Presumed I'd be able to work it out as I am a D&T teacher but having just watched the video I would have missed half the benefits and such clever simple tips that will make it so much more useful. Thanks very much, I'll pass them on to my pupils.

[@10MinuteWorkshop]

Thank you! 👍

[@jarvex]

Thank you sir, direct to the point as I like.

[@TheEcorristine]

Another excellent video -as always

[@garypautard1069]

Thanks Peter . I bought the Wolfcraft jig and was having no luck with its use, despite a CZcams demo video. Now I can see why. Thanks.

[@ilanfono]

Excellent explanations, loud and clear! Great photography and editing. Thanks!

[@thejames666]

Enjoyed this. I have one in a drawer… it’s just reinforced that I do actually really want a Domino! 🤭

[@peterbradley3613]

Thanks just bought one with no instructions this video is brilliant.

[@timgoodliffe]

droping the drill bit is such an easy tip i cant believe i never thought of it. Thanks!

[@duncanmaddox6688]

Exactly what I was looking for today! Thank you for putting this video together two years ago Peter, it's still providing value!!!

[@lennytheleopard]

Excellent as always Peter.

[@eggsngritstn]

That brad-point bit trick to align the jig to your mark is fantastic. Worth the view.

[@10MinuteWorkshop]

Thanks! 👍

[@tonymatthews1]

It’s the first of your videos I’ve watched and really enjoyed it. Cheers

Peter, thank you. The clamping tips addressed my concern with trying to handhold the jig and drill the hole at the same time.

Just the instructional video I needed. Thanks again for adding to your library of how to videos. Brilliant

[@10MinuteWorkshop]

Thank you! 👍

[@ralphrowlands3902]

Peter, I live in the north west of England. I watch all your videos and find them inspirational and inspiring. But this is a first. The other night I was in bed watching one of your videos on an iPad. My wife was trying to get to sleep at my side. At the end of the video she asked “who was that?” I told her and she said the description and information and the way it was presented was excellent! That’s something she never says to me, so thought I’d pass it on. She is right of course. Please keep it up.

[@10MinuteWorkshop]

Thanks Ralph! And Mrs Ralph! 🙌👍

[@glennryzebol4472]

Good stuff Peter. Thanks

[@10MinuteWorkshop]

Thanks Glenn!

[@billk8780]

Peter,
Thank you so much for your videos. I used panel joints quite often this winter whilst constructing nesting boxes from rough-sawn cedar planks. Did so to give me the wide dimension which is hard to find with cedar lumber. Cheers from Michigan, USA.

[@shedmanx3640]

Loved the video Peter. Gave me a lot of pointers.

[@10MinuteWorkshop]

Thanks! 👍👍
