[@yurekandsnakes]

This is crazy. Absolute wizardry.

[@durnik1573]

Love the contrast in the wood. Makes it look like a gold inlay. Excellent work as always! You’re an inspiration to a young(ish) aspiring woodworker.

[@katzmosestools]

😉 go get'em tiger!

[@TrevorDennis100]

Jonathan, I can't believe how quickly the dovetail jig arrived all the way to here in rural New Zealand, and it is quite simply, a thing of beauty. As desperate as I am to use it, I can't bring myself to risk damaging that glass like surface with my old saws, so I am forcing myself to await the arrival of the Japanese dovetail saw I ordered from Amazon _before_ I ordered the Dovetail jig. I think you must really care about your subscribers, and it is appreciated.

[@katzmosestools]

That means a lot bud! Thank you!

[@wwscott7595]

Hello young man. One of the things I like about you Mr Moses is you show ALL of your mistakes, but as my grand dad said to is You learn from your mistakes. While I look forward to your next take on this joint, I will be happy trying this one out on the start of a very special jewellery box. Take care BIG GUY.

[@wb_finewoodworking]

That’s a very interesting outcome. I’m looking forward to the revision. I remember the first time I watched one of your videos you were doing a version of inlaid dovetails. That’s how I found you several years ago. Things have really changed since then.

[@MultiTom1956]

Beautiful wood , beautiful joint Katz😊thank you .

[@JkCanvas]

Awesome job and video. Love how you break down the steps so that even the beginner can follow. I would love to see you write a book on how to do all these joints. I think your teaching style will benefit a lot. I keep your video's que'd up when I am cutting dove tail joints. Cannot go wrong with the master by your side.

[@katzmosestools]

Thanks bud!

[@badbernrock]

Definitely next level work! The world might not be ready for what’s next from JKM. I can only imagine how you’re gonna top this one. Amazing work, brother! You’re gonna turn the woodworking world on its head and I’m gonna enjoy watching it every step of the way.

[@katzmosestools]

That means a lot bud thank you

[@badbernrock]

Jonathan Katz-Moses You’re very welcome. Dude, you’re a superstar, you gotta know that already. I wish you weren’t on the other side of the country. I’ve been a carpenter for 30+ years and I wouldn’t think twice about being your helper. That’s saying a whole lot, man. There are only a couple others that I would be in awe of if I had the chance to work in their shop. You are now on that list, at least in my book. (FYI, Paul Sellers and Frank Klausz are on that list, so you’re in legendary company.) Thank you for doing what you do and for sharing it with us.

[@christofix]

Man you make awsome videos, They are wel explained, good quality.... It is a pleasure to watch! keep making stuff man

[@katzmosestools]

Thanks bud

[@ursusworkshop549]

Looks awesome! The contrast between the woods looks ballin'

[@jakedevillier5863]

I really like this look. The inlay itself and the color combo

[@jac_builtWoodworks]

Now the inlaid mitred dovetail joint for next week 😛😍

[@GothaRsk]

Wow, this is woodworking art! I can't believe you still have just 86K subscribers. I watch your videos out of pure curiosity and enjoy every bit of them (thanks to your great skills & great camera work). My woodworking skills are nowhere near this. I usually use dowels or kreg jig to join 2 pieces of wood :)

[@katzmosestools]

Thanks so much bud. You'll get there everyday in the shop moves you leaps and bounds towards increased skill level.

[@adamodell18]

love your videos, im a mechanic by trade but your vids have inspired me to do some woodwork at home

[@larscw74]

I think it's a cool joint. I liked the effect you created by flush trimming the zebra wood

[@lyteyearz5810]

Man thats just damn beautiful! So unique. Will I try this... with my _current_ patience probably not... would I buy a nice dresser/ nightstand head and Footboard set like this... DEFINITELY!

[@nostrabox]

Just ordered my dovetail jig. So pumped

[@katzmosestools]

I can't wait to see what you create bud!

[@nostrabox]

@@katzmosestools thanks man! I hope to create a fairly straight 90 degree cut or possibly a dovetail or two. I plan on creating a KZbin channel called Working That Wood. Maybe ill do an unboxing or something lol

[@silver-hy6mi]

Love this joint! Hey Johnathan out of the kindness of your heart could you send a dovetail cutting Jig as a sample🤫🙏🙏🙏, I think your sawdust trick is a beauty I’ve done the same but on other joints like mortise and tenon and rebates! Keep those great videos a comin! One thing that make you stand out from any other artist (and I say because your not a tradesman, definitely an artist because you absolutely love what your doing) is that you know how to fix any little mistakes very easily with out any fuss.

[@DsHardWoodCreations]

Beautiful piece

[@JohnMcGrathManInShed]

That is tasty, I'll have to give your dove tail guide a try.

[@FredMcIntyre]

Nicely done Jonathan! 😃👍🏻👊🏻

[@ryanaugustus]

Geezus... this beautiful work.

[@andrewclark8813]

Great work man ..can't wait to try it out myself ,if I can :)!

[@katzmosestools]

You definitely can. Practice makes you better but half blind is easier than through IMO

[@KmeierGaming]

That little phrase "woodworking isnt about being perfect its about knowing how to fix your mistakes saved my recent project lol. Its my first project and im using barrel hinges which are a bitch to install correctly and its a very small piece so the slightest offset was noticeable and sure enough i closed it to test the hinge and it was about a 16th of an inch off on each side and i started to panic but then remembered that little phrase. I rasped and sanded the sides till they were flush and it turned out perfect.

[@katzmosestools]

My guy!

[@kovamaps9379]

nice job! that join looks great

[@AutotechWoodworking]

My new motto: "Good woodworking, it's not about being perfect, it's about knowing how to fix your mistakes". I'm getting better at fixing my mistakes, so I'm steadily becoming a good woodworker! The thing is, you can't tell anyone that you made a mistake, or show them how it was fixed.

[@MarkSchamel]

Amazing video. Wonderful instruction. Great video editing. Incredible end result. I'm subscribed and will be coming back for more.

[@katzmosestools]

Nice work brother, looked great!

[@ian-duh]

I live to see you cut joints I can only think about cutting. 😂

[@billqqq]

Crazy!! This video is 14 minutes. It would be great to know the actual time that went into this joint. Realizing that joints like this are geared more toward decorative pieces, say a box or something, rather than something that requires a dozen drawers, but still... Beautiful results, man... Very nice work!

[@katzmosestools]

Honestly, not including glue time you could knock out 4 drawers in about an hour.

[@Whatthensayyou]

@@katzmosestools I would caveat.. 4 drawers in an Hour if your Katz Moses... 4 Drawers in 8 hours if your me :D ...

[@VORONM]

Cool!!

[@orville58]

That is sweet

[@rodpalm6398]

Joint of the week 'redemption' LOL.

[@HugTheLoveBear]

Loving your stuff man, could I ask that when you say your measurements that you please put the metric distance on the screen. I have an ok grasp of the imperial system inches, feet etc. But I can't possibly do the math for the fractions in my head and I'm sure other international fans feel the same way. Cheers

[@katzmosestools]

That would be a tremendous amount of extra work (on top of an insane upload schedule) on my end but a very easy way of converting is multiplying by 25.4. Cheers bud and thanks for watching.

[@gnarthdarkanen7464]

Most of us (that I know anyway) in the States go by "wrenches" from Metric to SAE sizes... SO we're not always "doing math in our heads" either... A "Short short version" : 13mm = 1/2 inch 6.5mm = 1/4 inch 3.25mm= 1/8 inch 1.7 ish mm = 1/16 inch 12.7mm (technically) = 1/2 inch... but wrenches don't come in .7mm increments... (so this will get you "in the neighborhood" and shorten the math rather than perfectly eliminate it) BUT it's a good place to land approximately where you're going to want to be, even mixing and adding the increments together, so you can still (mostly) eliminate the calculator... AND at some point in all this, YOU are going to have to put down the rulers and start "eyeballing" your precision for fittings, even with the occasional session of "trial and adjustment". It's worth note that Katz-Moses (and a lot of us around YT) have been doing things like this for years, so we've also gone through those motions a LOT in our lives... AND some of us are still doing it that way. Give yourself some chance to breathe and practice. You'll get there with a few sacrificial pieces of scrap and some note-taking from the experience. ANYWAYS... hope this helps out. Please do scratch the numbers down... so then you have them. ;o)

[@LegoMan-cz4mn]

What about black ash and bubinga? Awsome joint btw!

[@lukewhite9237]

Here a combination you should try, Angled half blind inlaid dovetails

[@wagbjorn]

Wow man, this looks fucking great. I can't describe how wowed I am and can't wait to try this out myself. Thanks for everything you are sharing. I ve learned so much already but I always ask myself, how does a J.Katz-Moses get to this level? How can I get at least to half your level? Deepest respect man!

[@katzmosestools]

Just a little bit of practice and you'll be right there bud. Cheers

[@patz2k4]

It hurts to see you pressing the marking gauge into those wood fibers that later will be visible on the side of the board, sanding or not. At 10:23. But the overall outcome is beautiful.

[@chuchicamony]

which one wood are you using?

[@mcgeeneypr]

6:01: Are you just freehanding this, or is there some sort of safety barrier that I'm not able to see - something to keep the router from cutting beyond your chosen boundary? Maybe the boundary was more obvious to you as you were doing this work, but pencil lines on dark wood seem like something I could blow past pretty easily in that scenario. Just curious.

[@katzmosestools]

Yeah freehand. That's why I say I got a little cocky on one of them hahaha
