Case Dovetails with Mike Pekovich-Hanging Tool Cabinet 2

[@benjamincrossman5937]

Mike doesn't always express joy as such, but his smile is infectious when he nails the height of the blade right away!

I REALLY like this way of cutting dovetailsI have arthritis of the hands now and this will make it easier for me, Thank you very much ..

[@jaguen123]

NICE CRAFTSMANSHIP AND FINE RESULTS. MY HAT IS OFF TO YOU.

My cabinet is similar. BUT I made mine with years of off fall plywood. Used box joint because of the ply. Started with a plan but adapting parts and PCs. Made it a a challenge , made many adjustments. Wish I had seen your design first.Result most of my hand tools are in one place and I have more room in my shop!

Hello Mike. You decided to show a very good film ... I am going to make a tool cabinet and did not know where to start, so very on time you came to the rescue ... Thanks a lot. Waiting for the next series. Good luck and take care of yourself.

A legend to me.... very nice work man!

[@anthonymontagino9681]

Great video, I use the almost exact same process on my pin board except for I use a coping saw and a templating collet on my router. Try it out!

[@anthonydtobias]

I have not seen this trick with the beveled angle on the table saw blade before... I have seen the waste cleanup with the router trick though. I'm not sure why people hate on this...to me, you must be able to get much more consistent and cleaner cuts this way...and a lot faster. But, If they like things done the old fashion way, well I understand that completely with nothing but respect for this method.

Great vise tips.

Beautiful cabinet. What species of wood?

[@charliechoiniere8755]

How did you arrive at 7.5 degrees and not 7 or 8 degrees for your custom ground blade? I'm just curious. Ridge carbide only sells dovetail blades in whole increments unless you want to pay $10 extra, but I'm really curious why 7.5 degrees.

[@Ham68229]

Wished there were more video's that show the use of a "coping saw". In my opinion, would be a far superior tool to use to remove waste instead of a bandsaw but, each their own on that. This is a great video series. Cheers :)

[@phillcom3]

if you need a vidio on how to use a coping saw.. theres bigger issues afoot i think

[@phillcom3]

coping saw.. put in cut angle, cut, follow line, stop. dosnt really need a video

[@carlosJimenez-sw2eo]

Mike you the best

[@carlosJimenez-sw2eo]

How deep is the cabinet

[@aldocoin]

I am going to build this. I need to build up my skills first though.

[@phillcom3]

use it to build your skills

[@brianp1993]

Where did you have your blade ground down to 7 1/2 ° ?

[@russmassery1880]

Ridge carbide, Forrest both make them

[@brianp1993]

@@russmassery1880 thanks!

[@FineWoodworking]

Any blade sharpening service can do it too. Take an old blade there and have them grind it. It'd be much cheaper than buying a new blade.

[@andrewvanoverbeke5164]

Build a hand tool cabinet and then cut all your joinery by machines... lol

[@yml33t]

And cut your dovetails with a specially ground table saw blade.. Clearly, everyone has one lying around...

[@bighands69]

@@yml33t I suppose they to try and get the machine woodworkers into hand tool woodworking some way. Why not get them to use their machinery to make a hand tool cabinet so that they then might actually use some hand tools.

[@solidsnake9332]

All that jumping between machines and adjusting blah blah blah get that down lickity split with hand tools. . . Comes on dude, work smart not difficult

[@bighands69]

It is actually extremely difficult to make a series about using handrolls. Far more complex than people realize. There could be a thousand questions about just one hand tool.

[@phillcom3]

exactly, get some hand skills in youd be done i half the time

[@davidatlas40]

@@phillcom3 Mike does definitely have the hand tool skills to hand cut everything in this project, I've seen him demonstrate it. But I agree, why fuss with all those machines, jigs & extra steps when all you need is the layout tools & a dovetail saw.

[@tom1234658]

Hate it when videos like this say hand cut dovetails but does most of it with power tools

[@anthonydtobias]

It doesn't say hand cut
