I needed to dovetail some drawers. But I wanted to try something new. So instead of breaking out the handsaw, I broke out the bandsaw.

When chiseling out end grain, a trick I learned from some Japanese master video I watched, get the end grain wet, then pare it off. I use a pipe cleaner folded over 4 times. I was/am attempting to do this with some very dry American Chestnut, and was getting horrible tear out, well maybe chunk out. The water trick fixed that. No need to have 17 degree bevel chisels....

Semi-old carpenter here... I can "construct" almost anything and always thought I could make furniture. However, I never had the proper tools to make it happen and therefore never attempted to do so. I then retired early and built a wood shop in my garage... all and all I am proud of what I have built so far, but I have not yet ventured into dovetails because it's intimidating and had/have so many other things to learn (i.e.: proper material prep, consistency, precise accuracy, etc). Going from a carpenter's pencil and circular saw to a marking knife and table saw was a step within itself. This method (power tools) makes the task of dovetails less intimidating. Because of this video, I will soon try dovetails with power tools to learn the functional basics without the intimidation of using all hand tools... and then one rainy day I will attempt "old school" and try 100% hand cut. Thanks for the instructional content. Please keep it up!

Your approach to jigs is so refreshing! I recently spent hours making a crosscut sled after watching who knows how many videos on how to make “the ultimate crosscut sled.” Then I saw a Norm Abram jig to do the same job. 🤪 It was a runner, a base, and a “fence” aka a strip of wood. And it worked. P.S. I did learn from a plethora of mistakes on my sled so it wasn’t time wasted.

The guy at 72 and with over 50 years of woodworking beats me by 2 years - but I would guess our experiences and views don’t diverge too much. There are several extremely acceptable ways of cutting dovetails (as with just about everything) plus a load of bad ways. Sometimes, it’s down to what tools you have available and sometimes, it depends on how I (my body) feels. I do use the bandsaw plus router plane plus router - if you have them and can use them (two different things), then why not? If you enjoy doing everything by hand, that’s great. Personally, I like to use power tools for the heavy work and then hand tools for finishing. Sharpening? You’re absolutely right in what you say. My usual answer is “more than you are currently doing”. In cutting those dovetails, I might sharpen and hone the secondary bevel more than your 3 times but that’s just me. Your way of fixing the drawer bottoms is fine but it seems to be a particularly American method. I was taught in the UK, and every high quality UK antique that I’ve studied seems to be the same, to do it differently. Before better glues came around, it was usual to dovetail front and back. After better glues, it was more usual to dovetail the front and rebate (not a dado) the back. More and more cutting edge pieces forego dovetails altogether particularly if they have false overlay fronts. Truthfully, who cares so long as you don’t think that it has to be one way or another.

@theofarmmanager267
@theofarmmanager267 10 ай бұрын
@@ENCurtis I have heard the view that hide glue is a very good adhesive witnessed by the longevity of the pieces constructed with it. I would only partially agree. Firstly, the animal bone and hide glues made 2, 3 or 4 centuries ago was of very variable quality; secondly I have enough antique pieces of furniture to know that hide glue fails when it is not mechanically assisted. Today, it seems to me that the only unique point about today’s hide glue is that they are using by products which otherwise might be wasted. However, I don’t think there is any adhesive quality of hide glue that cannot be replicated better by a chemical glue. Unfortunately, I’m old enough to remember the choice of glues available to a small shop nearly 50 years ago. Now, I would suggest we have gone the other way in having so many choices that, frankly, are there to sell glues and not solutions.

Very nice video, Eric. I have tried the bandsaw method and it works great but I had to recently dovetail twelve drawers for a Highboy I am building and I used the table saw method to cut the dovetails. It was quick and very accurate. I had to do minimal chisel work after. In my case, I had a table saw blade ground to a 10 degree angle. You then set the blade to 10 degrees on your table saw and with a simple sled you can cut very accurate, adjustable and repeatable dovetails. Just a thought. Of course there are a myriad of ways to cut a dovetail! Cheers, Brian

Efficiency is an often overlooked tool in the shop. Hand tool work is cathartic and a wonderful meditative process (Most of the time lol) but if there are faster more efficient ways to get the same results, then why not employ them if you have the tools available? It is almost physically painful to watch some videos that are on youtube just because of the methods and tools the maker is using are so woefully inefficient for the job they are doing. I try to remind myself that not everyone has all the same tools I have access to though so I usually just skip through the process and get to the end product and figure out my own process to reach the final result. Good video and I didn't know the different ratio for hardwood and softwood for dovetails always just thought that was a design element of the makers choice. It's a good day when I learn new things. 👍

Another great teaching moment. Do you cut through the jig when you are cutting the tails on the band saw?
@ENCurtis
@ENCurtis 10 ай бұрын
You certainly can. Or you can cut the top of the sled to the same angle (~10 deg) so that the shoulder of the dovetail is always square to the jig. That way you avoid damaging the sled.

You got the bandsaw, you got the thick cherry, Would it be Sacrilege or an Idea to make a 1/8 thick flitch of veneers, make all the dovetails thru, then glue on the veneer converting to blind dovetails, hiding the groove, and get some grain matching..

Love your content, I’m glad I stumbled across it about a month ago. Was wondering where you acquired your fence for your table saw?

Looks like a Rockler sled if you’re taking about the light white with blue stops. If you mean the aluminum extrusion that can be turned, that is a Harvey that comes with the Harvey table saw.

Thank you! And yes, @fearsomewarrior has it right. The fence is from Harvey. The crosscut sled is from Rockler.

How did you allow for wood movement in the bottom in the long drawer? Looks like the grain runs parallel to the grain in the sides. Good video.

I had to come back and look at that dove tail lay out jig thing you have. Since I do my layout with a knife, I would need a metal one. Do you have a source for that jig?
