    I think you do a fine job explaining the process. You make things very clear. I remember you being a guest sometimes with Tommy Mac. Thanks for your videos.
  • @OregonDARRYL
    Adding a little T-track to the sleds for clamping and end-stops make these perfect. Thanks.
  • @MKimble515
    There are a lot of videos out there explaining jigs. This is the first video I've seen of yours though. I must say, AWESOME JOB!. Your explanations and demonstrations are so useful, and I do love how your enthusiasm and personality shine through! I'll be watching many more of your videos, sir.
  • @Fusterclucked00
    Thanks for explaining how to use a spacer block effectively. Now really I'm looking forward to getting home and getting started on some projects!

    Just revisiting this excellent video. These along with the course mtls are priceless for any level of woodworkers. I tend to watch something more than once to learn something new or that I missed.
  • @petewollman550
    Great video, really like all your jigs, i feel like I'm watching a pro woodworker , your the type of guy i would want to spend a Saturday in the shop with. Thanks 😊
  • @nelsoncollar1814
    Tommy, I have watched you for years and am still watching. You are one of the best. I wish you and yours the very best of a New Year. I'll be looking for your next great experience.

    Great jigs, and very well explained. I will be making one or two of these for myself; esp. the "spacer/s" for the Tenon Jig. Will improve my joinery quite a bit! Thanks. 🤠

    Great presentation of essential shop jigs.
  • @jimfromri
    I just built a donkey’s ear miter shooting board. It’s awesome for fitting the wooden insert linings of small wooden boxes. Great video. Very informative and I really enjoy your sense of humor. Now that I’ve found your channel I plan to watch the rest of your videos. I’m signed up for your FWW veneering class and am excited for that to start. Happy holidays to you and your wife. —Jim

    As soon as you announced the "Spacer Block Technology" I immediately subscribed. LOL

    My shop is small and mostly bereft of power tools, so my jigs are small as well - shooting board, donkeys ear for shooting misters, bench hook for both push & pull saws (pull has to sit in the vise obey) and a crosscut sled for my one power tool, the bandsaw. Thanks again for all the great videos!
