I got 7 days before mine gets here. I caint wait to get started. Gonna have to watch videos all over again

[@J.A.Smith2397]

Bro every time I seen one of your videos up like the past 2 months I've been like I I want to see something a bit more complex or skilled than that but I stop and end up watching them every time cuz I've come to know how good of a teacher you are and that you bring out a lot of different points, how's, and why's that make it make sense so well that I find myself learning something every time and I appreciate it and thank you for your effort!

[@ernestoalonso9932]

Really, really great series, Shawn. 👍👍👍 More “beef” than just short videos on tips and tricks, or just showing high end brand tools (unreachable for many of us) as in many other channels, although I must admit that many of these are also very good channels. Here you really explain in great detail whole projects, with your expertise as both teacher and woodworker, how to build real useful objects, and at the same time teaching techniques that will enable us to expand our woodworking abilities. Since young in love with wood and woodworking, I’ve been following you for some time now from Barcelona, Spain, enjoying your vids, and your attractive teaching style. Admirable indeed! I always recommend you to my friends and colleagues. My best wishes to you and your projects!

I've tried to make it during the video 😆 I got 2 corners done that fit tight, no glue. Just using scrap wood. I'm sokoto happy 😊. 🤣

[@AaronSprague1]

I was really impressed with your video. There where a ton of tips and techniques I have never even thought of well done on this one.

[@wortheffort]

Thanks

[@dpbjlee83]

at 20:55 you point out in great detail to keep them aligned - Today was my first dovetail and guess what ? 1 of the 4 corners were BACKWARDS. - YOU told me not to but I did it ANYWAY. GRRR - great video - not so good of a student. Thanks for the awesome content

[@tedpuckett2779]

Yup! Pencil lines vrs knife lines. I’ll be buying a marking knife today. Thanks as always for a great vid and explaining and tips.

GluBot tip of the day! The GluBot has a built in holder for the red cap, it is the protrusion in the center of the large yellow cap. Just slip the red cap on to the protrusion and bingo bango it is out of the way. Happy gluing!

[@wortheffort]

Thanks

You are a star 🌟

[@tiantianwang1417]

When transfer the line to pin boards with a saw, what I see from rob cosman's vedio, use a a marking gauge setted to the saw kerf , use the gauge to offset the pin board , mark the lines with the saw, then we can saw right on the marked lines.

[@eggster71]

Love that marking the baseline trick!!! I do actually have a few gauges but that is class!!! Great video as ever!

[@wortheffort]

Not my original idea but it works efficiently.

[@johanneswerner1140]

The knife lines in the end grain of softwoods tend to disappear. That's why I prefer a sharp (!) pencil, actually flat on one side, asymmetric sharpened. The flat side registers on the tails, and you leave the pencil line plus a miniscule amount. (but that's me, it works, mostly...)

[@johnnyj2k8]

As soon as the pandemic is over I will support your channel as much as I can. Your videos are the best

[@wortheffort]

Thanks

Greetins from Finland ! Great video Shawn ! Love ur videos ! im a carpenter in a powerplant and i have a lots and lots of expensive powertools to use in company i work and big space to use them, but woodworking has been my hobby over 15 years and as it is my hobby, i like to do projects mostly by hand tools just for the fun of it ! its like " Why to go to fishing when u can buy nicely cut slices from the store ?" question... :D And my question for u is that all this "High gloss pure shiny white" shit that u see in ikea ?!?!? when this "trend" is gonna stop ? when ever ive made something special for my dearest friends with carefully thought joinary and all .... they go like "Great work,but can u paint it pure white ?" Im not saying that my work is in any level of a MASTER WOODWORKER at all, but sometimes i feel like giving pearls to the pigs..

[@ianpearse4480]

Really enjoying your shares mate. Thanks again.

[@wortheffort]

Thanks

[@dpbjlee83]

I always learn something new - Great video THANKS.

[@brianlasch144]

Rob Cosman uses the marking gage to offset the saw plate prior to marking the pins. This works really well

[@wortheffort]

Rob is great and all but that one product in his "Shtick" always feels like a money grab. Why is sawing next to a line different in a dovetail than every other time you saw to a line?

[@rjamsbury1]

@@wortheffort I don't think he saws next to the line in that method. Having offset the boards by the width of the saw kerf, he then actually starts the saw cut in the pins using the cuts in the tails as a guide.

[@wortheffort]

Robert Amsbury that’s my point. Why must you treat the dovetail skill different. It’s still sawing.

[@AaronSprague1]

So many fantastic tips. I really learned something today.

[@wortheffort]

Thanks

[@jimcooney9019]

Great video. you are an excellent teacher

[@overmanonfire]

Thanks for sharing your expertise

[@wortheffort]

My pleasure!

[@erkeltree]

Excellent instruction, great project choice, but, I believe that new woodworkers do not understand the difference between sharp and scary sharp. tp work with pine scary sharp is the right choice to prevent tearout with chisels. Tulip or red maple or elm would be kinder to use. softwood tarot is very frustrating for any of us. work on and smile.

[@wortheffort]

It's readily available at big box stores to this target audience. Part of prerequisite course was sharpening. This is perfect as a training tool because it demands such a sharp edge. It's a learning course.

[@js8039]

Could you flip the tail boards and use it as a template to saw the other tails?

[@wortheffort]

There is one way for you to figure that out....

[@1deerndingo]

Are they sweets in the glass jar back there?

[@wortheffort]

Tops, before COVID that’s how I earned a living.

[@Degovernator]

Where are you from if you dont mind

[@wortheffort]

Country of Texas.

[@Degovernator]

@@wortheffort HAHA I knew you were close to me from the accent. I'm your neighbor to the East. Love the videos. Thanks for keeping me entertained during the 9-5.... (or 6-6 in my case I guess).
