How to Cut a DOVETAIL JOINT with Hand Tools | 8 Simple Steps

[@outbackgeek]

I really liked the tip, where you used the plane to set the hight of the board in the vice then used to sit the second board on top. simple but really good idea.

[@PPHalpert]

This is one of the absolute best dovetail quick lessons on the whole KZbin! I love that phone flashlight trick!!!

[@stefanbiorserud3343]

This is by far the best video on how to cut dove tails!

Great Video. Thank you for taking the time to make this video. It was done slowly, step by step, and one of the best videos on the subject, without being too fussy.

Thank you so much for making this helpful video for dovetail joints!!!

[@tradiespaul]

This video is the best anyway actually I am going to be doing an woodworking joints and thank you for the advices and good tips.

[@matthewclemente420]

Great Video . Very well narrated and explained. Thank you

[@cirrusdesigngroup]

Thanks for such a clear and considerate tutorial. Appreciate you!

[@mikeandlucky]

Thanks for the great tips. You recommended to me your "How to Use a Dovetail Saw Like a Pro" video and that was a tremendous help. "Slow down". Made a huge difference. I have been cutting a lot of dovetails and having a lot of fun. Thanks again,

[@WoodAndShop]

That makes me happy to hear that it helped so much Mike!

[@MrAtfenn]

havent watched through yet but i had to comment when i saw the cosman saws. have those myself and they are the best i have ever used

[@jporterfield]

Well done, Joshua. I can see how, with a little PRACTICE, some steps can be removed and make this a quicker method. Thanks.

[@tonyeverett5724]

Joshua, I enjoyed the video and will follow it. Dovetails are something I did at school in the 60’s but not since…and I have wanted to again for some time so thank you. A question please: what is the clamp which shows up near the end of the Step 7 and how does it work?

[@bluegill2030]

Awesome video!! Probably the best one out in my opinion. Everything is slowly explained in detail and showing how to do it. I just bought all the tools to start doing this

[@HWCism]

Nice demonstration, thanks

[@petervandermolen9835]

Super clear explanation. Thank you so much!

[@MJ-nb1qn]

Thanks. I found out recently that real quality saws made a huge difference in my dovetails. I thought I had a good saws, but great saws made the difference. On soft woods sometimes I wet the waste to be chiseled with denatured alcohol. Thanks. I look forward to coming to your school some day! Love your channel!

[@WoodAndShop]

You're most welcome! Yes, properly sharpened saws make a world of difference.

[@brettjones9943]

Great video easy to understand thank you.

[@MichaelSchiesserMD]

This is a great video. I was just researching different kinds of joints and then wondered how these are cut and this was an extremely satisfying and thorough demonstration. I am very inspired to acquire more tools! Hope to watch more.

[@ikust007]

always a pleasure to see you !

[@WoodAndShop]

You too! :)

[@lawv.8424]

Good stuff right here, had my son even watch this one* 👍🏻🎩

[@WoodAndShop]

Thanks Law!

[@TITTIEDADDY]

I like the use of the light underneath the tail board when laying out the pins. I’ve not seen it done like this, and I’ll have to give it a try!

[@esamuelburleigh9273]

Yes! The light trick was a revelation. I will certainly use it.

[@WoodAndShop]

Glad you liked it Phil!

[@craigmouldey2339]

Very thorough. I need a lot of practice sawing.

[@WoodAndShop]

Thanks Craig! We all need a lot more saw practice!

[@TheSMEAC]

Thanks a bunch brother. I believe I learn something that becomes part of my skill set with every different person I observe. I’m grateful for your addition to that cadre of experience I can draw upon. I keep playlists of skill, projects, shop furniture, etc to go back and review. These also often just are played in the shop on my television in the background; and I still get something out of them. Many of yours are in those lists and this one has just been added to my ‘joinery skills’ list. Again, thank you!

[@WoodAndShop]

You're most welcome Shannon!

[@dennishanes2165]

Great video as usual. Thank you, young man. And I always wondered the technical term of that excess wood. Gunk. Got it. 😊👍🏻

[@2008nursey]

So nice to watch, how do you keep the chisel’s so sharp?

[@youtukang]

Good 👍👍👍👍👍

[@MCsCreations]

Fantastic, Joshua! Thanks a LOT for all the tips! 😃 I know back saws are better, but for now I only have a Ryoba... Would it be enough to start practicing? Anyway, stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

[@WoodAndShop]

If it cuts well, then give it a try!

[@MCsCreations]

@@WoodAndShop Fantastic, thanks! 😃

[@faheemmajeed6848]

Wow. You incorporate some innovative technique. I thought there would be no more learning need to dovetail joints but I was wrong. Regards from Karachi after so long. I'm not sure if you remember me. Faheem.

[@WoodAndShop]

Thanks Faheem! Yes, I recall chatting before. Best of luck!

[@tsjedi1]

Looks fun, can't wait to get through some house projects so I can work my garage into a hobby woodworking shop.

[@WoodAndShop]

Hurry up on those house projects then!

[@arthurmccutchan7000]

[@dpmeyer4867]

[@DrAndreataNevitt]

[@BodhiTheBohoHobo]

Awesome!

[@Ivo_Serra]

Very nice vídeo!

[@nobuckle40]

Very enjoyable!

[@andrewooddotcom]

Nice! Thank you for video :)

[@WoodAndShop]

You're most welcome!

[@Zeigled]

Why do you cut the pins and tails different size - what happens if they are similar size?

[@ataleciosena4131]

Good!

[@glennnobiss3406]

I’m sorry this happened to you, and I would be extremely pissed off after the work you put into these helpful videos you provide us. Good luck to you, and I hope they do the right thing

[@newtybot]

Ok so Im doing it right I just gotta practice

[@bigmarv333]

Maybe it’s a personal bias but I find the coping saw for cutting out the waste for dovetails to be “distasteful.”

[@somasabul3883]

This is what passes for good dovetails? Goodness.

[@Grumpycat0405]

It's hard 😦

[@hbert06]

what is different in your method? I can't see you doing anything significant different than all the other woodworkers out there.
