Truly Phil was a selfless fine master woodworker. His expertise sharing with all was a blessing. I've learned much from him. The woodworking world loss a great man.

[@williamobrien2107]

He made it look so easy. That is what decades of experience does for you.

[@chrisstone9254]

Phil is a master. A fine craftsman and an excellent teacher. Well done sir.

[@kevinreilly7262]

It's a joy to watch a _real_ craftsman at work, and when he is articulate and able to explain everything he is doing and even thinking as he works, well, it just doesn't get any better than that! Thanks Phil.

[@bhoola123]

I took a class from Phil in 2006. A true master. A true gentleman.

[@Finewoodworkingofsc]

I have followed Phil Lowe for many years through Fine Woodworking. Phil is a Master Craftsman with exceptional skills, and I'm loving The Art of Woodworking videos. Thanks Phil for taking the time to produce these videos. I would be an honor and privilege to have the opportunity to meet you in real life one day. It's been a goal on my bucket list for many years. Thanks Phil for such exceptional instruction.

Such a great content. Thank you so much Phil for making and sharing this.

[@soffronitsky]

The most beautiful thing about this wonderful man are his hands: hands of someone who has cut a few million dovetails in his life.

[@lalhmachhuanarenthlei481]

Very interesting, I will learn surely from you. May you live long and God bless you 🙏🙏👏

[@leandersmith6184]

I loved every detail of your video, the explaining and your not demanding voice. The only thing I would recommend is get another camera who is doing your overall and your face and tell your cameraman/women to record from over your right shoulder this way we can see what you are doing and what the results will be. But I subscribed looking forward to more, thanks for sharing from Mexico.

Really struggling with my hand cut pins...the tails are straight but the gaps with my pins are awful. Hopeless?

[@green_building]

[@Grunt49]

Thanks for mentioning moving your belly!Lol

[@allankellar1896]

I was taught to not cut all the way thru because the chisel could possibly run

[@1pcfred]

Next week the art of the pocket screw.

[@Ch4looby]

Unfortunately I disavow, gotta be tails first

[@alfresua2772]

wao! I think I have the wrong tools.

[@jlinkels]

It always strikes me that mostly American woodworkers are so eager to show off that their dovetails are hand cut that the pins are much thinner than actually esthetic. Instead of having the pins and tails of almost equal size at the base, they choose to make the pins as thin as possible to the extent that they are almost closed at the end. This really looks terrible to the eye... and that just to demonstrate that they were not cut using the dreaded router.

[@j5892000]

Hi I'm fill low..

[@SD-yb5fx]

I have been a cabinet maker most of my life and I am a 63-year-old man and I seen more dovetailed drawers fall apart but to the homemaker they automatically think it is a better product. Yes I sell lots of dovetailed drawers still but I don't make them myself but have the Amish make them for me. Anyway, in this day in age this younger generation don't even have the mindset capabilities to do any hands-on work let alone the skillful practice of dovetail joinery.

[@mattwilson2953]

Very informative and Phil Lowe is amazing but the camera work was just terrible. Not enough to cause me not to watch but man.

[@flyingsawdustjemtz9226]

Camera should have zoomed in to enable the viewer to see what he was doing. Totally useless video. Fire the videographers and reshoot the video, please. Phil Lowe is a fantastic woodworker, but he should have insisted for retake.

[@SD-yb5fx]

Why not make sure that you are truly saved by Jesus Christ and practice this way. Remorsefully confess with your heart your sins to Jesus Christ who is God and tell Him that you right now are repenting of your sins and you want to be born again of the Spirit from above. Tell Jesus that you are remorsefully sorry for breaking His commandments and that you are begging for forgiveness from Him. Allow His blood from the cross to wash away your sins. After this is done with your heart successfully the Holy Spirit will come to live within you and He will rebuild you from the inside out. Look for signs that you are saved. Things like spreading the good news from Jesus, getting other people saved, a craving for the word of God, reading the Bible, etc… These things are known as a calling and fruit bearing. If you're not bearing fruit then keep doing it. Sometimes it takes time to get saved. Read Matthew chapter 13 from the King James Bible. God bless!!!!!!!
