How to Cut a DOVETAIL JOINT with Hand Tools (Quick Version)

[@bazfatania4053]

This was a great video for a beginner. Gives so much confidence for me to try it now. Thanks

[@marvinpues]

One of the better tutorial for hand cut dovetails I've seen. Thank you. I'm feeling ready now.

[@manuelpereira1356]

I agree. I also feel ready and I am on my way to start... THANK YOU.

[@Krzemieniewski1]

and how did it go? Tomorrow I have to make 8 pieces and they have to be done by hand - I'm not sure if it will keep the level of workmanship.

[@oldbloke5277]

Really nice tutorial. No waffling on, just clear instructions on how to make a joint that's always put me off. I've subscribed. Thanks

[@JulioRivero-t4c]

Good video. Quick and easy. The end result is what, matters.

[@douglassmith2946]

Fabulous video. I am an experienced woodworker, but at this stage of my life I want to focus more on hand work. Absolutely love the simplicity and confidence of your approach. Wood is such a forgiving medium and I really appreciate that you teach that very good results can be reached without having to purchase thousands of dollars in tools. Thank you!! I'll be watching

[@JF59122]

I have my mechanical workshop practicals tomorrow, I hope I don't screw things up 😢

[@mackenziewoodwoking8642]

Enjoy your video You took the time to explain it clearly keep up the great work😊

[@aislinglee4621]

This was a technical meditation. Relaxing and instructional simultaneously. I think I'll watch it again. 😌 Thank you.

[@shelbali]

You've made this look so easy. Beautiful workmanship. Now I want to try it. Thanks

[@EweTubio]

Exactly what I’ve been searching for. 4:55 Always wanted to do dovetails, but didn’t know how to line up to make tails. Many Thanks from Australia

[@willwyrms6965]

Very nice. Most helpful tutorial I have seen.

[@zahkilovett]

Best & most clear and helpful instructions I’ve seen so far

[@denisbelya3079]

I thought the same

[@chrisnewton7413]

Great video, thank you. The importance of cutting just up to the line without going over is particularly useful. thanks again!

[@chuerzer]

You keep steps simple. Thank you for this great video!

[@reallyratherwouldnt]

Such calming videos to watch…

[@robertking8779]

Great videos!! Love your channel and thank you so much for your instruction.

[@PaneeraqKarlsen]

That's the most helpfull demonstration of the dovetail. Other million videos I watched just make it too complecated. Thank you !

[@richardsilva-spokane3436]

Wow!! This is nicely (thoroughly) explained. You’re an inspiration!!! Thanks 👍

[@hyerinlee9177]

Really great video! Thank you!

[@robhebronv]

THANK YOU! I finally feel ready.

[@gowrinaidu_palla2886]

Really thank you so much sir...I feel like I'm a professional carpenter ...while yours Vedio seeing that time.... really very very useful for freshers ♥️

[@davidphan70]

purchased three items from your video. love it.

[@cindypulvera4040]

just started joinery training this week and our topic to draw and cut joints. appreciate very much for this lesson. got a sliding bevel square now I know how to use it. I'll look for the two saws you're using here

[@grwood15]

Where are you taking this training?

[@Restorology]

Thank you for sharing!

[@Normanek72]

Great video. A real lost art.

[@discoverlaurence]

Thank you. Nice upload.

Nicely done sir. I like this video. Very straightforward and simply put!

[@nicksiragher542]

Thanks, great presentation which clarifies the process.

[@MrGottmusik]

[@timkeagy4094]

This was excellent.

[@danpelonis158]

great tutorial. Much appreciated.

[@MCsCreations]

Beautiful work, Joshua! 😃 Thanks a lot for all the tips!!! Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

[@jasonbubb1275]

Why couldn't I have a neighbor like this

[@TJThomas116]

Thanks for an excellent upload! About to head to the workspace to finish off my Dovetail after finishing with the guided lessons and this was a great refresher for me to watch. Well-shot, nice editing, and very informative.

[@6cwl9]

Just the video I needed to see

[@hettro-cv6082]

Really good video!

[@tobyweston]

Thanks for all your work, I really appreciate the content and think you’re doing a great job. Loving your work! PS I’m working up to building the bench, have the plans and will be getting the DVD

[@garyhome7101]

Gotta love the Cosman dovetail saw! Like your process and all good advice - Thanks!

[@ap9518]

Very informative! Thank you!

[@sammeyer25]

When u remove pin waste and rotate chisel, do u try to shoulder the edge of the chisel against the pin to follow the angle better

[@caseyfox8391]

This was helpful thank you

[@harleywood9588]

Got to master this it’s so cool

[@ThatUsuallyWorks]

Great video. I feel ready to fail at making dovetails now 😂

[@eumi5581]

Love the details.

[@PauloFernandoCe]

Thanks

[@ockham81]

Great tips there! Thank you!

[@Marcenariahobbyearte]

Show de bola meu amigo parabéns pelo seu trabalho ganhou mais um inscrito e deixo aquele like valeu👍🏻👍🏻💯💯🤝

[@stevensrspcplusmc]

I like your dovetails,Joshua,everyone is so obsessed with making them perfect, the masters in the 1700s weren’t perfect.. just look at the antique road show furniture,it was far from perfect 👍😊

[@leonardvanschalkwyk2167]

Well done

[@amansami2685]

Fabulous video sir

[@kevincrawford7439]

Solid work.

[@MikeJovani]

Fantastic video!

[@SirFox27]

Just saved me a whole bunch

[@TheSaf7uk]

Great video!

[@youtukang]

Very very nice 😍😍😍😍

[@MOAB-UT]

Very nice. Would you do this on my speaker box if I had the Walnut shipped to you?

[@runstant1]

super video !

[@SHDW-sy7oz]

thanks

[@conradpaul6100]

Damn,that looks good

[@nesspatric1929]

Thank u so much

[@markalaimo1867]

Thanks for the video! Any issues with using a Japanese/pull saw to cut the dovetails?

[@octaviobumble5245]

You kinda sound sound like spacey. Great tips

[@solopalaraza]

Great video and explanation. No glue is needed?

[@giacomoo4928]

Grazie 🙏🙏🙏

[@youtukang]

☺☺

[@NagyHanna-g4i]

I have a question, for the dove tail & the dove tail grooves, do they have to be in specific proportion?

[@lawv.8424]

Classic!!👍🏻💪🏻🎩

[@youtukang]

Top

[@xisotopex]

so, I tried this, and it cam out well, but its too tight... is there a process for paring down either the tails or pins to get a better fit, or does it not matter?

[@Taylor74b]

im watching this whole video, just wishing my chisels were as sharp as yours. ha

[@abeltlhalerwa5950]

How do you cut a haunch using a tenon saw?

[@shahji0001]

I tried it the first time. I did not watch this video before I started. Didn't had a marking gauge. And now I have waisted some precious wood lol.

[@muaddib5493]

Aren't the pins too narrow and tails too wide? I would think the join would be stronger if they were similar in size.

[@musition9873]

... a fine tip pencil is just a pacer right?

[@brianbrusnahan4518]

Thanks Joshua - _very_ helpful. @everyone_else - Am I the only one wishing the 'thumbs down' peoples would at least have the courage to tell us why?

[@MikeJovani]

Right? This is possibly one of the clearest best made dovetail vids ever made.

[@Chimp_Assassin]

probably wouldn't use the marking gauge, leaves an impression at the end.

[@Krzemieniewski1]

the chisel shines like a surgical instrument, it's a pity it's not equally sharp.

[@longvu7435]

❤🎉

[@dimitriostheodorides1580]

Is it wrong to just use a coping saw the whole way through? Why the different saws ?!?

[@kirtanrasa5815]

Coping saw wants to drift into a curve, the other saws want to stay straight.

[@grwood15]

The other one is a “dovetail saw”. It has one rigid side to prevent deflection when making straight cuts. Coping saw is used when you have to make quick curves and clear waste from the joint. Two totally different functions.

[@cds957]

Everyone is cutting pine, show me on Oak.

[@studiohost]

Sharper chisel would help

[@DAVIDMILLER-nc9vo]

7:30 Crumbling wood is an indication of a dull chisel.

[@MrDintimid8or]

Poplar?

[@arimadx]

Well.... I lasted all of about 5 minutes before I through the wood in the trash. Lol maybe next time

[@danlayman2194]

🤙👍🌴

[@bluered1322]

Easy, hold my beer....

[@tireballastserviceofflorid7771]

"Quick version" Hahaha... That's a riot. Nothing about hand cut dovetails are quick. Not if they fit anyway..

[@gbwildlifeuk8269]

Obviously yours dont fit! When you can do them theyre not slow!

[@tireballastserviceofflorid7771]

@@gbwildlifeuk8269 Your right mine are junk. And yours look like God made them. Personally I use a jig to build bee boxes by the dozens. Wish I had your Godly skills though.

[@tireballastserviceofflorid7771]

@gbwildlifeuk8269 Do you have a video up of your high speed precision hand cut dovetails? We would all love to see it.

Try again my friend.
