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

[@chrisnewton7413]

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

[@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.

[@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 😢

[@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

[@aislinglee4621]

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

[@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

[@chuerzer]

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

[@hyerinlee9177]

Such calming videos to watch…

[@paulac4917]

Explained perfectly

[@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 ♥️

[@Normanek72]

Great video. A real lost art.

[@richardsilva-spokane3436]

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

[@timkeagy4094]

This was excellent.

[@MCsCreations]

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

[@PaneeraqKarlsen]

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

[@robhebronv]

THANK YOU! I finally feel ready.

[@danpelonis158]

great tutorial. Much appreciated.

[@davidphan70]

purchased three items from your video. love it.

[@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.

[@discoverlaurence]

Thank you. Nice upload.

[@eumi5581]

Love the details.

[@nicksiragher542]

Thanks, great presentation which clarifies the process.

[@youtukang]

Very very nice 😍😍😍😍

[@ap9518]

Very informative! Thank you!

[@6cwl9]

Just the video I needed to see

[@ockham81]

Great tips there! Thank you!

[@TuanBui-yp7oz]

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

[@garyhome7101]

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

[@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 👍😊

[@rashadfoux6927]

Beautiful work. Thank you

[@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

[@harleywood9588]

Got to master this it’s so cool

[@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

[@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.

[@leonardvanschalkwyk2167]

Well done

[@kevincrawford7439]

Solid work.

[@SirFox27]

Just saved me a whole bunch

[@amansami2685]

Fabulous video sir

[@TheSaf7uk]

Great video!

[@runstant1]

super video !

[@nesspatric1929]

Thank u so much

[@MikeJovani]

Fantastic video!

[@ThatUsuallyWorks]

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

[@conradpaul6100]

Damn,that looks good

[@octaviobumble5245]

You kinda sound sound like spacey. Great tips

[@Marcenariahobbyearte]

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

[@NagyHanna-g4i]

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

[@Krzemieniewski1]

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

[@lawv.8424]

Classic!!👍🏻💪🏻🎩

[@MOAB-UT]

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

[@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?

[@giacomoo4928]

Grazie 🙏🙏🙏

[@youtukang]

☺☺

[@cds957]

Everyone is cutting pine, show me on Oak.

[@Chimp_Assassin]

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

[@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.

[@solopalaraza]

Great video and explanation. No glue is needed?

[@abeltlhalerwa5950]

How do you cut a haunch using a tenon saw?

[@markalaimo1867]

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

[@musition9873]

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

[@studiohost]

Sharper chisel would help

[@longvu7435]

❤🎉

[@bluered1322]

Easy, hold my beer....

[@DAVIDMILLER-nc9vo]

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

[@judegriggs]

Try again my friend.

[@MrDintimid8or]

Poplar?

[@danlayman2194]

🤙👍🌴

[@arimadx]

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

[@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.
