Matt, what do you think about the idea of cutting knife walls to establish the starts of your dovetails?

That looks awesome.

My God, Matt! You’ve done it again! Every time I watch, I learn something new. The explanation of starting at the end for no other reason that giving the skate a lane is brilliantly based!

Best woodworking tutorials on the internet! Thank you!

Thank you, have not seen the method of cutting a groove first.

It's a great idea to have deliberately left those gaps to show us how to fix our inevitable mistakes.

By far the best channel on woodworking. Even though I mostly use power tools, there is a trove of useful knowledge for anyone working with wood. I wish you success.

Looking for a video that shows how durable Stabilized wood is vs normal wood. How much can it hold before it breaks kind of thing and hammer it with a hammer show how strong bs normal wood is. That's what I'm looking for.

Thanks for sharing.

That is so smart using a ploughplane to separate the lid. Learning loads, thanks Matt

That’s good information love the video series

Absolutely superb series of videos - incredibly helpful

Matt - when I use shooting board I either get a clunk that stops immediately. Or I take nothing off - I’ve sharpened chisel. I just can’t find that happy medium. Do you have any advice. Literally never got a single shaving! Definite sloth!

Sweet

Great series

My weekend project! *BTW none off the ei.lnk links are working ...

The thing I especially like about Matt's videos is that he doesn’t just show “sunny day” scenarios. He’s keen on discussing the type of things that can go wrong and how to address them. His comment in regard to compressed air beneath the coin is the type of thing I really appreciate.

Hi from South Africa! New to your channel and really enjoying it. Love your attention to detail and teaching. Are the plans still available? I am really keen to build the project. I followed the link but it is offline...?

After watching several KZbin woodworkers, you are the most thorough in your instructions. You leave no detail out. Amazing. Keep up the great work.

I'm wondering why you put veneer over the walnut top. Why not veneer the plywood and use the walnut for the base?

Quick question - a rebate plane isn’t on your list ……. Not sure that fancy buying one of these as wouldn’t use that often….. what else would you recommend?…… using a palm router?….. if so, what bit would you recommend? Many thanks!….. just waiting for the kit to arrive!

Your links don’t seem to work. You’re missing sales.

My husband used these plans from WoodPrix and he's very satisfied.

I used the wood softening veneer you suggested with blue paper towel on mappa burr, the softener absorbed the blue from the paper on the burr and now is all blue and destroyed...

Amazing you are doing this for free. Thanks.

Super! Thank you!

Thanks for all your time and effort making these very entertaining videos. Why don't you use something to protect that expensive bench? Lol!

What they said.

Excellent and informative. Thank you Matt

Stay safe Matt and Rob. Love the new series! Hopefully you have some time off to enjoy Christmas with family

Super glad to see a new project! Thanks brother! Ordered my plane screwdriver (in Cherry to match all my other tools), so I’m excited to get it and will gift my Veritas one I’ve been using for years to someone else who needs one.

Just a side note; if you glue some 220 sandpaper to the bottom of the miter guide it is easer to clamp and less likely to move in use

👏👏👏 Thank you 🎉

Second watch through. This series should have way more views.

Nice video. However you should take instructions from WoodPrix if you want to learn how to make it easily.

I prefer to make with WoodPrix plans.

Nice project and beautiful work as always Matt, thanks for sharing. I find that this time the camera is just superb in showing all important details of the work.

Great video. Thank you!

Excellent. I’m enjoying this.

I'm sort of glad you made a couple of mistakes, it makes me feel better about my carpentry.

Nice vid. Axminster link doesn't work for me. Edit: most, but not all, of the product links also dead-end.

Thank you for this educational video!

I have frequent problems with tear out when making dovetails in softwoods. I’ve seen great improvement by first wetting the wood with alcohol or a little water.

Best tutorials on internet!!! Thank you!

Great to have another project to have a crack at! Mitred dovetails are something I need practice at and the method demonstrated for the paring block will definitely make it easier

Thanks for doing these. They are really great to do in my retirement.

Wonderful Video! I learned SO much:). I've never tried a mitered dovetail, thinking it is WAY beyond my skillset, but now...I'll give it a shot. Your teaching method is methodical, detailed and first class. You not only showed us, but also told us "why". I love the way you show the good along with the "whoops" and the how to fix it. The real world application such as the occasional double scribe lines, or sawing slightly away from the line adds credibility and reality to your video. Please don't change that! I never thought of slicing the base of the extra material first before removing excess material from the side of a pin, thank you. Your tip of leaving a small peak of material and then paring it back slowly where needed is also excellent. I'm one of those who ends up with tear out in the middle all the time when coming from both sides. Your photography in this video was great, you spent a lot of time setting that up for us, thank you. However... I'm still a little lost on the sequence of sawing the miter portion of the pin, and how to avoid breaking out the tiny sliver of material at the tip of the miter, or the side of the pin. I can see myself getting all the way thru the pins and tails and messing up the miter part that shows on top. I'm not sure I can match your chisel control when it comes to trimming the material back on the side of that final pin. Is there another option, or do I just need practice.

Very helpful video. Liked the 45 degree guide for chiseling the miter. Camera work is excellent. Can’t wait for the rest of the series.

i liked your cardboard trick . Im pretty Wabi - Sabi so theres no way mine can come perfect . good video i enjoyed it . Thanks

As a woodworker that went to architecture school, I have a ton of basswood modeling stock in convenient 1/8", 3/16", and 1/4" sizes that fit perfectly in grooves made by the plough plane. I just stick a half inch or so of scrap in that groove so that when I shoot the end I don’t get blowout inside the groove.
