This video demonstrates, that it's far easier to work if you have proper work holdings. People tend to invest in all sorts of tools, but good ways to fix and hold your work pieces put are more important.
While work holding is critical I wouldn't way it is more important than any other tools. Someone could argue that you can get away without work holding. I wouldn't recommend it but as you point out it is relatively common practice.
Took me way too long to figure this out myself.
I just moved to a new place and for some foolish reason I decided to make the workbench my second project... The first one could be going better...
Awesome book that gives you step-by-step photos kzhead.infoUgkxTNB_zFBSnTo_O1PqfVUwgi7ityw0JlKt and directions to make every day project. I can see myself making a few of these projects and giving them as housewarming and holiday gifts!
В очередной раз восхищаюсь не только самой сутью ролика, но и манерой подачи, никаких дурацких многословных вступлений, никаких просьб ставить лайки и подписываться на канал, никакой ненужной болтовни в процессе, и , что совершенно замечательно - никакой музыки! Отлично! Благодарю.
Тоже, сколько смотрю этого человека, столько и офигеваю над его образным и пространственным мышлением.
редкое зрелище в мире монеток !!!
Agreed. The no music is a winner for me.
Восхищение? Чем? С такой оснасткой можно "Искандер" слепить, а тут🤥
I'm honestly kind of dense. I will have to rewatch this several times to retain this valuable information. Thank you. Beautiful work. Woodworkers are the best when they also teach.
OMG! That is the simplest, most exact way to create Beautiful Dovetail joints with 100% power tools. Absolutely Genius. Thank you for sharing.
Hey bro, from a fellow woodworker for 30+ years now, it's rare to see something make you go wow. Wow, that's very nice work 👌
I thought I had seen every dovetail jig out there until now. Wow! Very impressive!!!!
Most smartest and accurate method of jig utilization ever. Thank you for your experience in wood working and not keeping it a secret
You should insert more of the shank of the cutter into the collet, leaving around 5mm above the cutter itself, this is far safer and the shank is more stronger. Be safe! Great dovetailing jig!
One step more and blind dovetails - extend the markers by 3/4 the width of the board, offset, and do a whole corner at a time (both boards that form the joint. Nice work!!!
Show me.
Straight up watched this whole thing on the thumb nail preview because I couldn't figure out what the eff you were up to... nice work, guy. Love it.
Ось такої шпаргалки по ластівочому хвостику я давно шукав, щоб самостійно шаблон зробити. Вельми корисно.
Very clean. I'm gonna use this. One note, you don't need to make the dovetail tenon jigs the same width as the bit. the dovetails could be any width you like as long as the tenon is _at least_ as wide as the bit. The only requirement is that width of the pin and tail jigs must match. Again, all around excellent technique, camera work, editing, idea and video.
Damned ingenious. I'd never come up with ideas like this - but very pleased to learn from them.
so you =have never seen a dove tail jig which in the UK have been available for thirty years ?
@@firsteerr This system doesn't look or work anything like a standard dovetail jig. Don't be so damn rude.
Lots of work to prep it, but once that's ready, you could pretty easily whip out a TON of these
Or....just go buy a dovetail template for 50 bucks and save yourself hours upon hours lol
@@scrotymcboogerballs6452 some dovetail jigs are considerably more expensive than $50. They would be the adjustable variety. The Leigh jig for instance costs $849 That only makes sense to invest in if you're a commercial cabinetry shop that's cutting joinery every day.
Wow... I have been an engineer in the aircraft industry for more than forty years. Your dove-tail ideas for my home projects are an absolute inspiration...! The decorative aspects are almost limitless, and the solid methodology is innovitive. Thank you ,Sir... I didn't know that there was a new trick left in this old dog...You really have made my day. Stand clear of my blue touch-paper...You've lit it up like a brazier..! Thank you SO much.
Seriously, this was good... I saw a guy make beautiful dovetails by hand using a saw and chisel. Did I mention how fast and quietly he did it? Now that was skill... I've been seeing a movement where woodworkers are downsizing their shops to use fewer electronic tools.
Bro, downsizing is supposed to be a secret! Don't share all that info over the Internet. Besides, how else will a good plane cost few hundred dollars.
I’ve been building and making since I was a teen. I’ve never met anyone with a table that nice. I know a Japanese carpenter who literally makes the most amazing things including shrines! And he doesn’t have a table like that!!
Thank you! They sell metal jigs to do both steps in 1 go with just 1 router bit. But they aren't exactly cheap, unless you're repeatedly making the same sort of routing every day, so this method makes a lot of sense.
Jigs that use one bit can usually only make half blind dovetails. There are jigs that make through dovetails, but they require a straight bit and a dovetail bit just as this one does.
@@ioscaleb usually eh?
@@ioscalebThis shop made jig looks easier to use, IMO. 👍🏻
Wow! What an outstanding idea. This system can replace a commercial jig, or supplement one to produce non conforming layouts unavailable using a commercial jig; if you don't want to go the hand cut route. This earned a sub from me.
Beautiful dovetails!I especially like the on -the spot jigs.Happy Happy.
Superb attention to detail both in the woodwork and the production quality of the video. Great stuff! Subbed.
Watching those two pieces fit together soo perfectly was a thing of beauty!
This a great project. Perfect and repeatable dovetails every time.
Nice? Nice,indeed, bloody brilliant!!!
My first reaction was "what the hell is he doing?" After watching the process in full, its a pretty ingenious way of producing exactly sized, exactly spaced dovetails with basic tools and not much experience. I think that's lost on the negative comments.
Very good. I’m not sure it’s better than many commercial dovetail jigs but it obviously cost you nothing but time. All jigs rely upon pinpoint accuracy to make them work well - and this one does that. I agree with another comment about the amount of money that newbies, in particular, spend on tools. Buy fewer but buy better. The only poster I have in my shop is one taken from an old, old shop - Patience; Precision; Perfection. A word of caution for others. In my experience (45 plus years of woodworking) I would not use a dovetail router bit as shown here if I were cutting through hardwood. The amount of material being removed puts a big strain on the bit itself; I take most away with a straight cutting bit and then switch to a DT bit for the angles.
I agree...the hogging out of the entire depth in one pass would probably be too much with hardwoods. I would just run them vertically over my table saw with a miter gauge first and leave only the angled profiles to the dovetail bit.
You don't get "pinpoint accuracy" by marking out your spacing of the dovetails with a pencil... not even with my favorite 0.5mm mechanical pencil can do that. This jig can make dovetail joints that can only be jointed in one orientation. (If not joints that only fit with the "parent" board). With a little more thought, this could have been made to make interchangeable joints that'd fit between any two boards (much like the professional metal jigs).
@@jasono2139 as you took the time to reply to my comment. Obviously, thousands of woodworkers have been and are making inaccurate dovetails because they are using a mechanical pencil or a marking knife (both making a mark 0.5mm wide as I have just measured). I’ve only been woodworking for 45 plus years and always willing to learn. But, maybe, not from you. I think I will stick with my method and keep on making, apparently, inaccurate dovetails.
@theofarmmanager267 oh sorry... I forgot that ignorant woodworkers aren't mechanical engineers who understand that "pinpoint" accuracy can't be achieved by doodling on metal blocks with a pencil or willy-nilly fixturing work pieces in jigs upside-down and backwards. Perhaps, the machinists I've dealt with in the past should have called you to eyeball those dowel pin holes centers with a pencil and then drill them freehand! 🤣 Granted... I've never seen anyone assembling my parts with hammers and files. 🤦
@@jasono2139 an apology is a start but I have a feeling that once you start apologising, you will not stop for a very long time. It is very sad that your ego-deficit syndrome is so prevalent. I’m sure a psychiatrist would revel in analysing your views that machinists in general, but you in particular, are a superior breed of human being whose work is the pinnacle of achievement; but I doubt a cure is possible in your case. Most or all woodworkers are ignorant? That alone is worthy of prolonged laughs. For a brief moment (soon gone in your case), I was interested in thinking why does this apparent supreme paragon of skill stoop so low as to watch the output of ignorant woodworkers. I quickly realised that it must solely be the opportunity to feed your ego-deficit again. I’m very happy within myself and do not feel the need to denigrate others in order to boost inadequacies. So, rather than reply to another further comment from you, I will do something more important. Like clip my toe nails.
Пытливый ум, рукам покоя не даёт :-)) Потрясающая идея!!! 👍
Absolutely stunning outcome. Well done!
We made this already 30 years ago exactly like this. But I love your stuff
Looks really nice! The way you produce these holders: nice and precise work!
This is brilliant.
People lost the message from this video, one just needs imagination to get things done in a different and cheap way… thank you for sharing this video!
Когда всё понятно без слов...Лучший канал на KZhead!!!
That is the best dove tail jig I have seen. Absolutely fabulous darling 😂Even I will have a go at that.
Thanks for sharing. I find your method to be straightforward and easy.
I love the way you simplified the complicated joint. ❤ from Pakistan
Clever design. And a lot cheaper than Festool
I am in awe.
The final matching is so satisfying!!!
I love the dovetail joints out of all joints That’s certainly another way of making them 👍👍
Very good method & workmanship, it makes for versatility as well. I love your shop setups!!
This is pure genious, thanks for sharing, thanks for the teaching. Clean, elegant. Thank you 👍
Рука сама тянется лайк поставить! Есть за что! Ваш способ удивительно прост чтобы делать ласточкин хвост.
Nice jig. Kinda reminds me of my Leigh Dovetail jig with its variable spacing capability.
Uh, perfect. Perfect joint.
Good job! It seems like the "refuse to use hand tools challenge" and you made a clever jig there.
Brilliant. Your approach to dovetails, in particular, and to woodworking, in general, is logical and fresh. Adherence to pre-existing methods, while sound and safe, reduces some practitioners to an unknowing status of obedient, albeit highly skilled, slaves to tradition. Your approach and shop are the work of a mind that remains free. Thank you for inspiration.
Nicely done. Yes, you can get jigs for through dovetails like this, but you do a very nice job. Now if you could make a jig as simple for half blind dovetails, THEN we'd all take our hats off!
I wish I could register the Like button 100x! What a clever idea. Love it and not having to use an expensive commercial jig as well as taking much less space to store when not using it. I'm loving your channel!
The method is interesting, but very long. I find it quicker and more rewarding to cut them by hand traditionally with the Rob Cosman's method. Btw: very nice bench! 👍🏻
For a single piece OK. But if your plan is making 20 drawers?
This is brilliant. It's simple to make, accurate, and this jig does not take much space to store. 👍
The very best I’ve seen. You are a quality wood worker!
Супер. Мовчки і все зрозуміло, без всяких закручування пальців. Респект.
Very neat, but cutting by hand is so much more fun, and you get very good at it with practice.
I really admire your approach to solving common problems. It’s so true that all the fancy store bought jigs and tools are not necessary… ingenuity usually trumps them all. Your videos are really easy to follow and very well done. This is the first time I have commented one of them. Thanks for all the hard work you put into your videos to make them clear and easy to understand. Cheers Greg
Very interesting. Well done. Not often a truly novel method that works comes up on KZhead...
That was one impressive dovetail .. thanks for sharing
Wahou ! J’adore tes montages super pratiques et simples a réaliser
Tricky, clever, smart and well done! 👍👍👍
Das Lernen geht immer weiter! Dieses Video ist ein sehr gutes Beispiel dafür! Diese Methode ist absolut perfekt! Danke für das tolle Video! 👍😎🇦🇹
Beautifully done
Nice. THANK YOU for no muzak during the vid.
Здорово! Ничего подобного раньше не видел! Восхищен, лайк!
Amazing results. Thanks for sharing.
Este é o verdadeiro mago da tupia... Excelente dica, como sempre
Este Señor es un genio. Excelente idea 👍 Saludos desde Caracas, Venezuela.
WOW!! You make it look so easy.
Thanks for the video. I'll have to remember your method for my next project with irregular dovetails!
In one word AWSOME!
Да!....., стиль подачи сюжета Хороший! За труд Лайк
This jig is fantastic for production dovetailing. Repeatable, fast, interchangeable. I think this can make quite tight pins too. I'm going to make one too for myself
That fact that he didn't make the jig to cut the right two dovetails at the same time AND flip it over (or ensure the end spacing was symmetric) to then cut the left two dovetails... means it's probably not interchangeable... unless you're planning on noting the left/right side of every board.
thats a nice neat job, can see you put some thought into that
Had already decided to subscribe for the editing and common gray woodgrain theme on your equipment, then finished watching for the excellent jigs, templates, and techniques. Thank you. BTW i've been window shopping commercial jigs, but they don't give you variable spacing like yours until the deluxe price. I guess that makes yours deluxe :)
Genius. I have a feeling that this takes a bit of trial and error to get things right though.
Very nice, brilliant bench too.
Nicely done. I do not have a dovetailing jig and have hesitated to buy a cheap one because of the inflexibility. I think I will give this a try.
Will definitely use this idea, thanks 😊
Beautiful!
Shockingly excellent, thanks for sharing and demonstrating such a great talent.
Wow! That's very clever - I love your work 👌👌👌
Diablement efficace ! Bravo et merci pour l'astuce !
Estas dándole maravillosamente la vuelta a los Peines de Cola de Milano intercambiables. Te felicito por compartir tu Talento. Todo lo mejor en la vida para ti y los tuyos. Fuerte abrazo desde México.
So clever ! Thanx a lot for sharing.
Unique way to do dovetails! Very interesting, my friend.
This technique should work well for repetitive projects. For a single project, hand cutting the dovetails would be faster. Your system is pretty sweet and a great alternative.
Amazing, master of jigs!
Brilliant, well done!
What an ingenious - but very elaborous - job. I would advise to buy a Shaper Origin!
I'm impressed! It takes a lot for that....
That’s very well thought out!👍
Brillant et très ingénieux !
Very useful if you’re doing a lot of drawers or dovetail features etc.
Very nice! I have/use the Keller dovetail templates which are somewhat similar in approach. This method is very, very good!
Огонь 🔥. Нравятся Ваши видео, все четко аккуратно.
This ist the coolest Dovetail Jig i ever Seen. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Keep doing what your doing and ima keep watchin
Its called tooling, doesnt make sense to some but does to others. Results look excellent. I don't like " hanging" the cutter at the end but that's my preference.
Wonderful method.
СУПЕР! Больше нечего сказать. С нетерпением жду ваших видео.
