SQUARERULE FURNITURE - Making a Dovetail Joint bench

[@markmcintire3401]

Congratulations to your well deserved award! Watching you humbly work on these has made me a better woodworker. As an American I take a lot of time laying out and marking each piece as close as I can. But the we just make out cuts much quicker. Watching you take the extra time to make your cuts as precise as the layout has slowed me down and my joints fit much better! Thank you from abroad!

[@squarerulefurniture]

Thank you for your congratulations! It's a little difficult to interpret. I'm sure I can communicate well with you haha. My son is studying English hard. He dreams of one day being able to freely discuss woodworking! Always remember safe woodworking! Have a great weekend!

[@evankooiman1988]

Looks great. Thank you for showing fixing a gap in your dovetails. It’s good to know I’m not the only one making those fixes. And a professional who makes beautiful pieces needs to make repairs too.

[@squarerulefurniture]

Repairs are always happening. Hahaha thank you for your sympathy. have a good day!

Thanks for the video! In sketchup instead of multiplying your copies like you did at 2:11 you can just drag the dovetail geometry to the other end of the board and then DIVIDE by the number you want. So to get the result you have here, drag geometry to where you want the last one to be and then type “/4” and press enter. You will end up with 4 equal divisions or 5 equally spaced geometries. I hope this helps

[@squarerulefurniture]

As soon as I saw this post, I got goosebumps. I opened SketchUp, made a pin at the end like you said, and did /4, and something amazing happened.

[@KurtVSJ]

@@squarerulefurniture i am so happy this helps! :) you have nothing to be embarrassed about with the quality of work you do. I love your videos. Thank you

[@squarerulefurniture]

It seems like there is no end to learning! thank you. Have a great weekend!

[@nickyork8901]

Or use a ruler and angle it until you get the number of divisions you want, a simple trick and it works!

[@audioman99]

If you would please post a picture of the finished product at the beginning of the video. And definitely more pictures of the finished product at the end of the video. I don’t get to see enough of your finished furniture. Otherwise, really awesome work!

[@tjerkheringa937]

Great video. First congrats with the award. I love this bench, especcially the stretcher with the vertical braces. Very original. I also have a question about the dovetails. You have always been a very clean and practical man. Simplicity and elegance. I am a graphic designer, not a wood worker and i always followed the design principle that 'Form Follows Function'. Those super skinny dovetails, do you honestly believe that the form follows the function? They are so thin, that they look like they weaken the joint instead of strengthening them. Is this purely about esthetics and your own vanity? Or do they actually 'work'? Lovely kids by the way and i can't wait to find out what a mortise plane is.

[@squarerulefurniture]

hello. It's a bit difficult to interpret, but it seems to be about the joint and the size of the pin. It seems natural that as one side becomes relatively larger, the other side becomes thinner. Usually, the work is divided equally between the tenon and the mortise, but a lot of the aesthetic aspects were reflected. It's a bit difficult, but when discussing joint strength and durability, we consider the area of ​​the two joints. If the area is the same but the sizes are different, the durability is bound to be relatively low, but we tend to work as long as it meets the durability required for our use. (Here, it is mainly important to know in which direction the force will act and whether there are additional reinforcements. .) I don't know if it's a sufficient answer, but the conclusion is that although it focuses on the balance between design and durability, the aesthetic aspect is also reflected. If you have any questions, please comment anytime. thank you!

[@billbris]

I do enjoy watching you work to make such beautiful furniture. Congratulations on your KZbin plaque! I do have one question. I would like to know the name of the T-shaped tool you use to measure a distance from an edge. I've seen them before, but it looks like a better tool than my combination square. Thank you.
