Nice looking cabinet, great first project.
Thank you!
Dude! Such a great piece. Great work and I really like your way of thinking!
My favorite wood is quarter sawn white oak and you did it justice! Lovely little cabinet, you should be very proud of the skills you've acquired. Just a note, part of being a good woodworker is being able to hide your mistakes!
Thank you! And I agree, quarter sawn white oak is maybe my favorite. I don't particular like working it with hand tools but the final product makes it worth it.
Great work! Very inspiring. I have a list of tools to get but I think your approach will be better. That cabinet looks like an antique, heirloom piece already. Very good!
Your reflections gave me a lot to think about in my own work-from speed versus meticulous precision to the importance of thinking about how to do more of what you enjoy and less of what you don’t. Thanks, and wow that’s a beautiful cabinet!
Thanks! And glad my musing got you thinking as well!
Really enjoyed your story ty
Having recently retired and hoping to do some woodworking using inherited hand tools which have been languishing (rusting) in the garage for years, I've been watching a lot of Paul Seller's videos and now I've started watching yours. I particularly liked your tour of your small workshop - I'm in the middle of doing exactly the same as you were at that stage, building a bench out of scrap wood. It is great to see how far you've progressed and I hope I might be able to do the same. Very inspiring.
I'm a beginner hand tools as well , and u absolutely right the right tool for the job is easier and more enjoyable too .☺️
Glad to meet a fellow hand tool woodworker! Thanks for watching!
I'm a bit late to the party, but I enjoyed the build and listening the journey you are on. I'll be watching more of your content and subscribing to see what is next.
Thanks Mike! Glad to have you following along!
Glad you're back and great job on the cabinet. This whole series is a lesson in persistence. Cheers
Thanks Matthew!
I liked a lot. I am starting with this experience with wood. Learning to use some tools. It is a lot of fun. Best regards and thank you for sharing yourexperience and knowledge.
Thanks! Welcome to the hand tool club! Hope it is still going well for you!
@@DaughtersWoodCo so so I have a bad plain and having hard time trying to use. Next saturdar I willattende a basic coursehere inBrasilia. Regards and be in touch.
Awesome video! I totally understand what you are saying. I find myself feeling the same exact way when I'm woodworking. Thank you for sharing your experience.
Thanks! And I'm glad you could relate!
Great video. Keep cutting dovetails. Practice every day, and I promise, the skill to achieve flawless work will come in a few years.
Great job on this cabinet and the video. I enjoyed seeing how you fixed the resaw cut with the inlay. Excellent fit on the drawer too. I'm sure your channel will really grow as your video and work style is something that most hobbyists will easily relate to. I know I do as just a home hobbyist.
Thanks Dave!
Absolutely beautiful, love your work and self reflection.
Thanks!
well done
Thanks!
Hi my friend - this is the first video of yours I've watched and I just wanted to say how much I loved it. I know very little about woodwork, and have very few tools, but have similar aspirations to you. I think with the patience you're willing to put into creating your shop you'll have a density of knowledge that most can only aspire to. Really gorgeous end product and I feel inspired to make my tools as versatile yet specific as you!
Great work, it's a really beautiful piece. Thanks for sharing your work - handtool woodworking is such a wonderful way to build.
I enjoyed discussion about the piece you were making.
Beautiful cabinet and useful series - I've been following your progress since the beginning of the channel. Keep at it with the traditional backsaw and eventually, when sharpening and setting is right, you'll love it. I have a similar S&J saw and must say I struggled a few months with it before things turned around. Great job once again and looking forward to seeing more of your creative builds!
Thank you! And thanks for the encouragement to keep at it with the backsaw. Gotta just keep trying to sharpen it.
3:30 it's called a Dutchman and it is used to hide knots and other defects.
Супер 😮
Профессиональная работа 👍
Enjoyable build. Thanks for sharing.
Beautiful!! Thank you for sharing your journey and thoughts!!
Really beautiful cabinet. Thank you for sharing your woodworking journey. Please keep up your great work. Your Persistence is going to pay off sooner or later.
Thanks! I hope to keep it going!
Great job on the cabinet! Loved seeing how previous projects came together to make this.
Thank you! Me too!
1. Great project. You’ve done some excellent work on this cabinet. Sliding dovetails by hand is an advanced skill and yours turned out great. 2. Just go ahead and get yourself a better dovetail saw. I received my first legitimate dovetail saw as a gift about a year ago and it instantly made my work more precise. I understand your desire to do the most possible with the fewest tools, but there comes a time when poor quality tools start to hold you back.
Thanks for the kind words! And you're right, I've recently been saving some money and think I'm going to invest in a nice dovetail saw. Do you have any recommendations for ones you like?
This is so good!!! It matches my experience a lot but your results are great!! Well done.
Thanks Kevin!
Very well done.
I have power tools which I use for home renovation projects only. The hand took I use to make things. I enjoy making things with hand tools. I have found myself making excuses not to use the power tools even for the home renovations and when I do I don't enjoy it. Good video.
Thanks Douglas! There is definitely something peaceful about hand tool work!
Very nice cabinet, and great video. I started woodworking in a very similar way, very limited tools and no power tools. As I built more things I found out what I like to build (turns out it’s guitars and occasionally small furniture), and then started to get more tools to help me build what I wanted. I think you did a great job at explaining your philosophy and I’ll definitely be going back to watch the beginning of this series!
Thanks Alex!
Beautiful work!!
This was a great video. I have a similar project but with soft wood that is taking forever for similar reasons. I love the story. Awesome.
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it and hope you're able to finish up your project soon!
@@DaughtersWoodCo I imagine I will be using many of the ideas you have already implemented in anything I do going forward. Thank you.
Rex Krueger made a video of that exact saw and its great. I tuned mine and i like it more than the japonese saw. Great video, cheers
Thanks! That's the one I actually tried to follow. Didn't follow it exactly though so that was probably my problem...
Great stuff, I can recommend making a magnetic dovetail guide.
Thanks! I actually have some magnets and have been considering that!
good job
8:25 Spyderco! What kind? I sometimes use a stainless Dragonfly as my marking knife.
It takes a lot more work/craftsmanship working with hand tools, compared to using power tools
Really nice cabinet. Its such a relief to hear someone point out that dovetails dont have to be perfect. How did you go on about to hanging it on the wall? Im making a similar allthough bigger cabinet of my own. A french cleat seems safest but that means a much wider rabbet. Any ideas on how to do a cleat without using screws?
Keep up the excellent work!
Thanks! And I just used a french cleat. Somewhat afraid it'll break but I think if you make the rabbet big enough it'll be fine. Good luck with your cabinet!
I like your philosophy 12:58
You're better at this than I am.
Hi, great work! You got a very nice cabinet. I just wonder why you didnt make a mortise&tenon joint in the door, any speciall reason? thank you
Thanks! And it was simply easier to do a groove and tenon rather than a mortise and tenon.
Great job on the cabinet!! It looks like your western saw just needs a good sharpen; the teeth look fairly round in the video.
Thanks! And yeah, the saw really needs a better sharpening...
What material would be good for rail and styles if it is going to be painted 🎨 🤔. Any alternatives to expensive oak🤔
Popular is usually a great cheaper option for solid wood that will be painted! Or pine as well. The woodworking world usually refers to these woods as "secondary woods" because they're cheaper, more readily available and therefore less expensive than hardwoods such as oak, cherry, and walnut. (Also, sorry it took awhile to get back to you, somehow I didn't get notified of your comment!)
Dovetails were not designed to be perfect. They were deigned for their holding strength. I've been cutting dovetails on reproductions for 50 years, never concerned myself for perfect dovetails, nor did my clients want them perfect. You're doing just fine..stay focused and have fun, don't be so concerned about power tools. Keep adding to your hand tools. You'll be the one with self rewards, not the power tool manufacturers.
Thanks for the encouragement!
The very first frame showed you marking a square from a non-reference edge. It was quite clearly bowed. If you are going to do "how to" videos, at least start with the basics: get your stock properly prepared.
