While I miss your voice overs I do like this style. My only suggestion would be to add close captions explaining what you are doing in each step.

[@LupoFatto]

Beautiful video! I'm making a dovetail jewelry box too .... your video will help me not make mistakes!

Can you tell me what is the wood and the finish used?

Love how you filmed this , no music, just the relaxing sounds of some fine woodworking

[@dkbuilds]

Awesome thanks Kadeer! I'll definitely be trying to stick to this format for future videos.

Any serious woodworker becomes a master through mistakes. Perfection is reached by overcoming obstacles. Very nice of you to share moments like these. Joy comes through the journey. Thanks.

I totally agree. I'm not sure I'll ever reach perfection but each obstacle overcome represents a lesson learned that gets me closer. Thanks for sharing Rick.

[@gurshaanbasra3639]

There is no perfection just strive to be perfect in your own way ✨️

[@nebeljc1]

I absolutely LOVE the fact that you didn't hide the splitting of that board. Who knows how bad you actually lost your sh*t though lol. I've been teaching myself dovetails for the past few weeks, and I've gotta tell you, I would have had to start the whole thing over before seeing this video. You see all the big wig woodworkers, and their projects always seem to work out perfectly on the first try. I feel that's never the case, and gives a false sense of how it should be done. Mistakes should be shown. How they are looked at and corrected is a huge part of learning the art of woodworking. Hella nice box btw. The dovetails... Superb. 👏 Bravo!

[@laurencelance586]

I noticed the hockey tape on your clamps, which confirms that we know the same person who teaches these excellent methods, and more importantly the ways of thinking about the work. In the end, this way of looking at the work migrates into how we look at so much beyond just woodworking. At some point we come to understanding that there is very little we can't fix or can't make, and that realization allows us to approach both the work and life with a much healthier attitude. Or at least that's what it's done for me. Merry Christmas!

[@dkbuilds]

I couldn't agree more with your comment Laurence. Learning that there is little I can't fix or can't make has totally changed my world view in the past 10 years or so. I appreciate you taking the time to type out your thoughts. Hope you had a happy holidays!

Thanks Duke! Yeah I actually did lots of mockups, practice runs, even wrote down the order in which I should glue things up. Then, I uncapped the glue bottle and my IQ immediately dropped by 50. Hopefully I'll get it right on the first try next time!

[@specialagento486]

Nice build, and great video. Loved that look at the camera at 13:20 - when you’ve done all you can do to patch up your own mistakes, and the only thing left is to hope, and wait for the glue to dry. Been there.

Lol thanks Kevin, I'm glad you can relate! That was tough hour for me waiting for the glue to dry to inspect the results!
