excelente

Excellent presentation, articulate and with pedagogical skill.

You must have been a teacher in a previous life. You superbly explain every step clearly and slowly, not like many who spin through their project toa slim time limit. Thank you for all the effort you have put into your videos, it means a lot to a person like me who needs some ideas...especially with my birds mouth bits who haven't been used for many years! I am only reiterating what others have said, but an extra appreciation never goes astray.

Is it possible to make such a bowl on a circle saw?

Thank you so much. I've learned a lot.

grazie e RIP

Great work

Great video! Thank you. You sound just like Dallin H. Oaks. It’s worth listening to him on KZbin.

Great to watch master at work. Thank you - truly inspirational.

Thank you for showing us how to set up bird mouth router bits. And for showing this what it looks like if you don't set them up correctly. Which as you say, can lead to interesting looking results. I also appreciate that you showed some of your finished work. I'm curious as to how you got the inlay in the joints on the lamp. I have some ideas but I'm wondering if you have a video that shows that? Or some simple explanation. Thank you!

I just realized his videos are years old. I assume Mr Henry isn't able to make videos now. I am enjoying all of his videos and plan to try the BMJ router bits soon. Thank you Mr Henry.

Hi David - I only recently came across your videos but after being inspired by your beautiful craftwork I purchased a set of birdsmouth router bits and after following your instructions I made my first 8 sided jewelry box and am really pleased with the result. Critical to producing accurate routed pieces, especially smallish corner ones, I made a new portable router table for my Triton 3HP router along with a coping sled to securely hold the pieces whilst cutting. I've been making traditional 4 sided boxes with a variety of joining techniques for a good while but am really excited to make more boxes and trays using these bits. Not only did I find my box easy and quick to produce the novelty aspect of making multiple sided articles rather than regular 4 sided ones makes them very appealing as gift items. Thanks for your very instructional and clear cut videos on this subject.

The detailed explanation of every step is so refreshing. Most YT videos are just flash and trying to sell things. Thank you Mr Henry!

I made my first project using “BMJ” I made a lamp using the 8 sided bmj it went together ok but one of the joints does not fit together tight . I haven’t figured out what went wrong. Hope you can shed some light on what might have happened. BTW I enjoy you videos I watch them over and over and seam to learn something new each time.

It is so sad that you do not do these anymore. I really enjoy your videos Julien

Thanks a bunch for that awesome demonstration on Bird Mouth joinery Dave. I watched it over and over to get as much information as possible! Thanks, AmosP

Hello Sir. This was an awesome excellent elaborated presentation. I wish you would show the finishing part. Would you please explain how you did it ? I would really appreciate it. Thanks

I will give it a try Thank you

From your demonstration I can see that BMJ works very well on lumber thicknesses of 3/4" and 1/2" but do you have experience in using BMJ with 3/8" or 5/16" thickness material and would you recommend it for such material?

Awesome job. Thank you for sharing.

David if you start with pre-finished flooring pieces you can get beautiful products without all the sanding and finishing.

I bought a set of bird mouth bits, from Amazon,3bits without any markings. How do I tell which is witch? I measured the top cutter on each. 3/4” ,7/8” and 1”. Thank you. Patrick Manning, Gibraltar Mich.

i have watched all your videos and i just cant get it,,,close but not good enough,,,lol,,everytime i make a cut it changes,,no set way of doing it i can find,,,

It would have been nice if you explained the router bits that were used!

Again I must thank you for the instructions, I really love all of the techniques you have shown.

Hi, I know you made this video long ago, but I hope you still get my message of thanks, I have watched two of your videos now, about Birdsmouth router bit use, and have learnt a lot. Now at 73 years old, I will play around to see what I can do. So many thanks friend and may God bless you.

David, you've sold me! I love your videos but I am a little overwhelmed with all the options. I would like to find a book or e-book on bmj that I could study at my own slow rate of comprehension. My imagination and artistic ideas have faded with the years and i'm skeptical about my being able to do justice to the process. Thanks for all your videos any thing I'm missing is on my end.

Wow. Your wood working skills are amazing. Thank you for this detailed video. As a beginner, your instructions are so very helpful. Thanks

Excellent work as usual

You’re never too old to learn new techniques. Your explanation is articulate and precise. Thank you

Very good video

Nicely detailed video thanks

Very nice work young man, keep it up. Thank you for your time.

Quite well done and explained, thank you, /romain

Please explain again why you're doing the tapered staves in the first place?

That’s really nice and great explanation ❤❤

thank you

Nice bowl

Cool set up on ur router table with that box set up as part of the dust collection, THANX for the video

Excelente trabajo y una explicación perfecta

Is that glue in a copper pipe cap?

Does anyone know of any additional information on this type of joinery? Books or videos thanks for any info

The same BMJ bit can be used for any size of box?

Putting a strip of 1/2” MDF along the top attached with double sided tape is how you overcome the problem when the piece is nearing completion will aid in running the piece along the fence and prevent it from feathering.

After seeing video talking about Bird Mouth Joinery, after seeing this one, l can appreciate the information about the router bits, l may try one, it will not break the bank, who knows l may enjoy

It's a first for me, seen many ideas on making bowls but never a BMJ, thought provoking, must find out more about the specialist routing bits, thanks for sharing

I prefer to build with Woodglut plans.

Dave, your videos are great! Even though I am an old pro cabinetmaker/finish carpenter, I have never used bird mouth joinery. And this particular video was of interest to me since the 'problem' here to be solved is tapered staves to create a tapered 3D bowl/structure. Now, as you know, if I were to simply butt-join tapered stays to particular radii (top and bottom), I would have to do the trigonometry (or look up on a table) to ascertain the compound angle needed on the edges. . . But this method doesn't seem to need any compound angle edges, am I correct? I see that only half of the staves in this video are 'bird-mouthed,' but what if all were? Thanks in advance!

Great project very good workmanship. How do you determine the angle on the tapered staves?

David, love your videos. Where do you get the holly? I really like the contrast there. I bought a 3 piece set of bmj to try some of the projects you show.
