I love the no nonsense approach to the video. He doesn't spend ten minutes talking about nothing, he just gets to it!

[@elliottdmann]

As a total beginner, this is incredibly helpful. Answered a number of questions I have about joining two pieces of wood together.

[@donb6474]

we used #10 on our coffee tables we made back in 68 but we had to measure the cut out and use a hand saw and a chisel. worked great. I have not seen that joint made since then. Thank You. #9 is my new favorite.

[@williamellis8993]

Thanks, David. I never stopped to count the different types of joints and variations. Using Miller dowels is another great method.

[@davebauerart]

I love that you just name them and go for it, no long explanations or strength comparisons, they all work.

[@remynisce33]

Wow love the hidden and visible mitered spline!

[@DelenedeWetLientjie]

I'm so glad I found you. You're making it simple for this stupid. I need to make a somewhat padded headboard from offcuts, using just basic tools, a jigsaw and a drill. Arriving here gave me hope. Thank you

[@bunberrier]

You really get it, how to present information well, and quickly. Thank you!

[@JkCanvas]

Love that all the joints you showcased were made out of maple and the last one had the red maple leaf for the fall.

[@stephenforde7140]

Love the channel man, straight to the point in quick detail, no time to waste talking about the history of this and that.👍👍

[@BDL090754]

I agree, exactly as the below comment, - No B.S. - No vanity "look at me" self filming. Wish there were more like you. Thank you

[@jamesclarke3248]

Great video. Thanks! Agree with the others, you should strength test them and then rank accordingly.

[@FodderMoosie]

I've been putting a little shelf together with a combination of dowels, hidden dowels, and mitered splines. Only thing is, only two of my 15 joints are at 90 degrees! So it has been a real adventure, figuring all of this stuff out. This has been a helpful video, thank you.

[@thetoughones]

Dude looks like he's gonna be late for a meeting but still nails it.

[@jeffmackdesigns]

Great little video! Love how quick you jumped in to it and started sharing your knowledge!

[@Violetsteel_]

I literally had no need to watch this video but I loved the quick, snappy demonstration and now I know a bit more about wood joints. :)

[@nemo227]

I like a true dovetail, glued or without glue. Everyone has their own favorites. It's one of the things that make working with wood so interesting and beautiful. Oh, yeah, USEFUL too.

[@tekviper9]

Glad your bringing back some mild humor in your videos, I know you have mentioned in your podcast that you want to be taken more seriously , Just dont be too serious ! :) thank you for sharing your skills.

[@Julian-ib8xn]

Watching this video was like speed dating for wood joints! Quick, informative, and left me wanting more! 😄

[@wagnerluis764]

Hi, man...very nice this video...
