Wow. What a joy to watch a master do this work with such skill, passion, and smiles. Absolutely Inspiring and a Thrill.
I loved the pencil trick checking the tight spots. Very satisfying seeing a persons enjoying themselves using their talents.
Agree, I had one of those, "why didn't I think of that" moments seeing that.
The pencil trick was AMAZING!!!!
By "pencil trick" do you mean scribing the dovetail cuts?
3:52
AKA "chasing the smudge"...
Its great to see someone keeping the old skills alive. As an apprentice I met an old time proffessional dovetailer. He told me he could produce 8 drawers a day which is 32 sets of dovetails. He said that if you over ran with the saw you'd get fined..
Its always worth remembering that this kind of skill changes dramatically when you have to add speed. You get paid on production in the trade.
When you do it a thousands times you get very proficient and mistakes rarely happen.
The 131 people that thumbs downed this video better have done that solely for the music. The guy is fantastic to watch and I’d love to study under him for years to learn I will never be as good as he is.
I still gave this video a thumb up but god the music is so loud
Fantastic work (I'm a pins first guy though, doing them like Tage Frid), thumbs up from me, although I wish there was a way to turn the music off. It'd be nice to hear what the tools are doing more clearly.
The best thing about this video, to me, is the appearance of the Skil 449 locomotive to flush the pins with the tails. Such a cool looking tool!
I've watched quite a few dovetail videos and this is the first time I've seen some chisel out the waste like that. Looks much easier than the other methods I've seen, but I'm 100% sure that's because he's done a million of these.
This is a great video and Christian's smile at 3.05 just makes it for me. The guy is having a ball doing his thing and kicking ass while doing it.
Wow. The level that a skill can be taken to. Bravo to the owner who takes it there.
Having just spent a couple of hours in the shop practicing dovetails this video is both inspiring and depressing.
Bad Boy Becksvoort strikes again. That is a man who has cut a lot of dovetails. Love watching a master of their craft work, so effortless from so much hard work
I can watch this video over and over, every few months, without knowing really I'm doing it; like great songs from the 70's...cheers...rr Normandy, France
Why are we watching other dovetailers? This one makes the most sense, easily. He had me at the layout.
Watch, practice,repeat. Oh yes, and sharpen my chisels
Larry David is so multitalented!!
He knows the wood and how it'll behave without any visible effort. The experience he shows with his hands is amazing to see. Total badass.
Tons of tips and tricks to see just by watching Chris. Gosh hes so good. Love his furniture and personality.
Brilliant! I've watched dozens of dovetail videos by experienced craftsmen. This is far and a away the most efficient, elegant and inspirational method I have seen. Thank you so much for sharing your expertise.
I feel very fortunate that I was able to attend two separate weekend workshops that Chris conducted at the Lie-Nielsen Toolworks. I learned more about hand tool dovetails during those two weekends than I could have learned in two weeks from most any other instructor.
Christian does more hand cut dovetails in a month than most of us ever will...
Love his work...
Had to google this name after seeing Ron giggling on parks and rec lols.
That was way more than just another dovetail video! Seven minutes of gems!
Beautiful shop, beautiful dog, beautiful home, magnificent dovetails... Quality and professionalism at it's finest. Great video.. Great smile as well.. i really enjoyed this video. Thanks for sharing
I like everything about this video including the music. I have read his articles too. True talent and craftsmanship.
I'm blown away. The man really is a master
The best dovetail video from an amazing craftsman I've ever seen. That is a drawer anyone would be proud to have. Wow.
Excellent! Thanks Ben for capturing and sharing these amazing craftsman at work.
I could watch him do this for hours. Extremely satisfying to watch.
This is the most efficient guy i have seen. Every movement has a purpose.
This is my favorite dovetail video! Thank you!
What an awesome video. I'm just starting carpentry. It's so nice to see someone so comfortable doing what they love. I hope I'm this effortless one day
Chris, you're the Master! Thanks for all the knowledge and inspiration over the years.
Amazing! I couldn't stop smiling all the way through the video.
This is my favorite dovetail video! So simple, so easy. Well done! Thank you!
Brilliant video. It's so nice to see a talented, production-level hand craftsman at work. I'd love to be a fly on the wall in Christian's shop for a few weeks. Every time I watch this, I notice something new.
Very beautiful and clean work. It's a pleasure to watch. Thank you.
Amazing artist! one day i might be able to make a dovetail joint so easily. Thank you for sharing your talents and skills!
Great video. Excellent ingenious tricks. No BS, what a pleasure. Thank you Maestro.
Well that was an utter pleasure to watch. Thank you.
Love it. I love all his little jigs for sanding and little tricks on tapping the chisel to the side when its stuck in the board. Reminds me of myself and all my devices to make work easier. I wish i could come talk with christian and learn more from him.
Beautiful video Ben. Thanks so much. Such amazaing skill.
Yes - Christian has done this once or twice. I love to hand cut my dovetails but take my time as I build things for home. My wife got so fed up with my glacial pace that she bought me a Leigh Dovetail jig. I then worked very slowly on some mortise and tenons and out of frustration she bought me a Festool Domino tool. I'm currently working slowly on my sanding (need a helical thicknesser), sawing (need a bandsaw) etc. Any suggestions welcome. Great vid btw - can never get enough of watching such masterly craftmanship. Cheers and thanks from Sydney, Aust - Dave
Loved the video , music and all . Thanks for sharing
Great work flow there and some classy tricks of the trade. Thank you for sharing.
His work has soul. My hats off to you sir.
A true master at work ... music or no music, it was a treat to view!!
A real artist at work . Thank you for the video
Thanks for the inspirational video, Christian. It was interesting seeing you pick up that belt sander instead of the hand plane to finish everything up!
Something to aspire to ..... And wonderful to watch! Thanks for sharing.
That was beautful!! We all need to find someone like that guy to learn from! There are so many skills that may get lost down the line if we don't!
Using pencil mark to highlight the tight spots on first fitting is really smart. Never seen that before.
I have learned so much from you and finewood working over the years thank you.
Joy to watch !
Watching a master at work is mesmerizing. He didn't have to say anything
Love the way he made looks so easy
That pencil trick on bruising the pin board is awesome. Using that for sure!
More videos like this from FWW would be amazing, just short bite size content from masters i've watched this video so many times and everytime i pick up on something new. I tried dovetailing the other day for the first time, and immediately thought of this video.
Total respect watching a master craftsman work.
I was so amazed watching him make those dove tails, I didn't even realize 7 minutes went by. You make it look so effortless and create such beautiful work. Thank you for sharing.
Well done, loved everything,
An icon in his element. Outstanding.
What an honor to watch thank you.
Chris, enjoyed your lecture last Saturday at the Hancock Shaker Village and I'm especially enjoying your Shaker Legacy book, see you at the LN open house in July.
Ok, Probly the best dovetail video i've seen yet
He made that look so easy. That is a true professional!
I’d like to spend a month with this guy he’s probably forgot more than I know
Brilliant. Wish you could send me your knowledge and skill!!! Plus those chisels!!! Wow!! Talk about clean
simply beautiful
Oh jeez, if i knew dovetails were so easy and simple I’d have done these a long time ago. Being sarcastic. That was quite a demonstration of some seriously honed skills. Nice video.
The pencil trick new for me. Amazing.
you can tell he's done thousands of dovetails during his career
Wow! So many techniques in one short video!
I like the way FWW produced this video, meat & potatoes, no fluff.
Great video ! Thank you from Spain.
Top notch work here . Thanks !
great video. i really liked his layout approach and gang cutting. i really loved the Cowboy Junkies poster on the wall at 2:45 and 4:38.
That trick with the pencil while fitting and paring the pins blew my mind!
Well done! Nice vídeo
Lafayette - NIterói Brasil - Thanks for your great lesson - formidable!
Very good work. Clearly professional. I like the labour saving method of doing the two dovetails together. As a ‘purist’ I would have used a scraper plane or a hand scraper instead of sandpaper, but people won’t pay for that sort of detail. But wow, that looked like a 1950s sander. Lovely machine!
made it look soo easy !! nice work
What a pro. I especially love the use of the belt sander. It seems to make really quick work of the marking lines. I'm guessing this was about Christian's 2,000,001st drawer
by far the best dovetail video I've seen
This is a piece of art.
Awesome very unique piece
Awesome work!
Very nice, I especially like your pencil trick! Thanks.
I'd FAR rather hear him work, and possibly some comments, than have any music whatsoever.
graymouser. Agreed. The music doesn't fit the video at all and would be far better without it.
All a matter of taste. I liked the music.
couldnt agree more, would have been a better video without the music and better camera work
Ahh, complain too much. Video was great. A master at work my friends.
@@krabenaldt7605 Exactly. Schön richtig.
Great work and awesome dog!
This is my favorite video you’ve ever put out, Ben. For anyone criticizing the music, I completely agree, but the editor said that he had to put the music in to cover his own “wows” and little audible sounds of wonderment. 😂
What a pleasure to watch. Man I'd hate to know how many dove tails he has made.
Not seen them done like that before, also the finger board for sanding the sides a great idea that sames on clamping it to a bench.
Mad skills. I've learned a lot!
Every other vid I watch, they say to take off as little as possible at a time with the chisel. Here, the master chisels off big chunks so cleanly and efficiently.
Loved the Video!
All respect, a truly master. i bet he can dovetail faster than anyone trying to set a dovetailing jig and router.
You cant teach an old dog new trick. You already know them! Best chizel work I've seen to date.
That locomotive sander at 5:40 is AWESOME! It even has the smoking effect with the bag. Very nice!
🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤
The ART of woodworking !!! In french I would say '' chapeau bas l'artiste '' ! What a pleasure to see someone who knows how to work with his... hands !?!!! Whaow !!!!!! 😱😱😱😱 A hudge BIGGG BLUE THUMB from France !!!
nice to see the old skill sander...I still have mine since 1967, going strong when I need some quick removal.
I've still got my Porter Cable 3 x 24 locomotive from 1947 and use it regularly. Have the receipt too for $97.00. That's $97.00 in 1947 money.
Fine choreography w/ the beautiful chisel & other hand-tools. As ancient as his anachronistic belt-sander is = it still threw me for a loop.
Truly a master craftsman
