How to cut a DOVETAIL JOINT by HAND

Get the Katz-Moses Dovetail Guide HERE: 👇 🔸1:8 Dovetails: lddy.no/stpg 🔸1:6 Dovetails: lddy.no/stpe (Recommended) This jig is best paired with a Japanese saw. But can also be used with a Western push saw if required! 👍

[@gerryedwards523]

Lovely, I remember trying to do this in wood shop about 45 years ago and ending up with something I was not willing to show anyone. Now I an going to try it again , wish me luck.

[@CanuckWild]

The technique is flawless, even if a person doesn't need all gadgets he uses. One glaring omission is wood. I've been cutting dovetails for the better part of 15 years now. I can still remember struggling endlessly with this technique by hand. What I eventually found was that working on dovetails with a hardwood is easier than a softwood for getting technique down. However, working with really dense wood like oak was problematic for me. Using woods like Mahogany, Walnut, Teak, or Beech will help the novice understand how the grain behaves while having a small margin of error. Using softwoods like Pine, Cedar, Spruce, or Fir have a high probability of denting, over cutting with a chisel, overall have a high margin for aesthetic error. The softwoods aren't bad for practice but know that most novice users will end up with a finished product they aren't completely happy with. The reason I didn't put oak in as a good category is because of it's high probability for chipping. When learning these techniques, the probability of chipping is already high. Adding in a wood that has a high likelihood of chipping just raises that chance of disappointment. Another great thing about dovetails that will undoubtedly teach the novice is recognizing grain patterns and cleanliness of wood in it's rough shape. The last thing a woodworker, even a mastercraft woodworker, wants to have is a big 'ol knot landing right in the middle of a dovetail joint. I have seen some gorgeous dovetail work done incorporating knots into the joint but holy hell is it a painstaking process. Great video Matt. Love the tutorial series.

Up til now I just felt stressed at the thought of trying again. Your tutorial just brought it all together and now I seem to understand the process better. Hard to explain but you’ve rocked this tutorial. Thank you so much.

[@senselocke]

You were very thorough in how and why using the chisels, so much so that a total beginner like myself learned a bunch, and spoke quickly and smoothly enough that a seasoned person wouldn't be saying "get on with it". That's a very delicate balance, but you did it. Thank you very much!

Box 1 is cut and fits together like a dream. I've watched a few guides but this one by far helped me the most. Thanks!

[@markstanden202]

As a fellow Brit, I love Matt's no nonsense presentation; there are a lot of pointers & tips not given by other, more lengthy videos of this type. I do find, however, that the Rob Cosman approach works incredibly well and has enabled me to make 2 "rustic" 2 drawer ladder style nightstands, with dovetails in the drawers. Cut all 4 drawers' dovetails in a single day - which for me is unheard of. Great work Matt!

[@whyzen2081]

I was watching this on my TV, and I had to grab my phone to leave this comment. This is one of the best tutorials I've ever seen for anything on KZbin. The explanations, the camera angles, the techniques.. Perfect. Nice one.

[@moorem99]

Here's a tip. When cutting the tails instead of angling the saw sideways and cutting at an angle (12:33) kick the wood over at an angle in the vice so that you are cutting vertically down and able to see both sides of the cut. Most people are more able to cut accurately vertically than at an angle sideways. Years teaching kids how to cut dovetails many years ago... Apart from that... I enjoyed your video and explanation. Very clear.

[@vancestephens14]

As a up-and-coming woodworker, I have watched so many videos on how to cut dovetails. But, none have come close to explaining the process--especially the measuring!!!--with as much detail as you. Thank you!!

[@trebledog]

I love this presentation. No drama, no attempt at comedy, no superfluous sophistry, just very clear, straightforward, precise instructions on methodology of the exacting demands of the dovetail joint, possibly the king of joints in the world of woodworking, with exception to the Japanese styles of wood joinery that are more complex, however the same basic approach is required of both if one expects to create the beauty inherent in creating the interface between two of the forest's more elegant species.

Hey Matt, Can you do a video on how you clean your shop by snapping your fingers, I've been practicing, but I believe I must be using the wrong technique, I've experimented with both hands using each finger independently, I can't even get the tools to shutter, is it in the elbow motion? maybe the shoulder? I would really appreciate your help with this. Thanks

I would try and think up a witty response to this. But when you said clicking each finger independently I’m imagining you clicking with your thumb and little finger 😂 Now I’m trying to do it myself...

In a previous life, Matt must have spent decades with gurus and shaman learning the old ways of wizarding. Luckily those skills passed on into a future life and he is now a master of the art.

+nathan graham To get the snapping of your fingers to work you need to enter a higher Plane of consciousness.

Just make sure you Gauge how much energy to release or you may Splinter your table and complete Route everything up.

[@aaronmadritsch]

Hey bruz, here's a little tip I picked up. Once you've marked your pins/tails on the end grain, use a pencil with your try square/bevel to project the lines of where you'll be cutting down the length of the piece, then use the marking gauge only inbetween the lines, that way you won't have a mark leftover on the tails/pins once the joint is finished. I know you can plane it away, but if the mark is 1mm deep, you're losing quite a bit of material that could be avoided. Keep up the good work mate, props from Australia!

[@Skinflaps_Meatslapper]

Of course there are, because there are people of all types in this world. There's a thriving market for it, but those who would commission something with this level of handmade precision aren't what you'd consider the average consumer, they've got plenty of money to throw around. I'm not onboard with the idea of casting those would want speed and cheap builds in a negative light, though. The thing with wanting a cheap build is that some can only afford a cheap build, they can't justify spending hundreds or thousands on a piece of expertly dovetailed furniture that could be made with a basic butt joint, and perhaps they can't wait weeks for it to be done because it's replacing something that broke. One could even say that spending thousands on a handcrafted piece is wholly unnecessary and fiscally irresponsible, especially when they're having to make ends meet. For those people, "Made in China" means "I can make rent next month and replace my broken dresser". Anyone can see this type of work and appreciate it, not everyone can justify the purchase, however. There's another segment of people who can't afford it, but can afford the basic tools and supplies to make it. Some of them look for videos like this to get a little help with their projects because they're completely lost otherwise LOL

Thanks Matt. This gave me Everything I needed to cut dovetails by hand for the first time. Except I took one trick from Rob Cosman about marking pins. 1) cut the tails but don’t remove the waste. 2) set your tail board over the pin board for marking. 3) offset the tailboard by one saw kerf thickness using the depth marking gauge and use your saw to mark one side of the pins. 4) offset it the other direction and mark the other side of the pins. Now you can just set your saw in the groove you marked.
