Do you have a link to your stubby brass head chisel mallet?
Just to let ya know I LOVE your dovetail jig n think its the best out there!
Hey Jonathan. Thank you for taking the time to make these videos. They are educational and entertaining for the beginning woodworker and enthusiast. Keep up the good work.
Love your videos and the passion you obviously have for woodworking! It inspires me to become better myself. Thank you!
Loving your joint of the week series! There are so many beautiful ways to join wood, and it's nice to see them done in real time.
These videos are so good and very helpful.. thank you so much for teaching us all..
Very cool thanks for sharing Katz
I have to say between your Katz-Moses dovetail jig I purchased a few weeks ago and learning how to properly sharpen chisels by Rob Cosman, my hand cut dovetail success has improved dramatically. You da man!!!
Great video for this technique. I haven't tried doing half-blinds yet but this may have given me enough courage to try! The hint about clamping a backer board at assembly is something I've not seen before and makes a great deal of sense.
SUPER lesson! Thank YOU! Bill
Just purchased your dovetail alignment CNC jig! Can’t wait!!
JKM is one of the best! He’s approachable and a master of the craft. What makes him the best is his willingness to share his secrets and thoroughly explains them. That’s super cool! I bought a few of his jigs and sent him pics of first work pieces I built using them. He responded within a few hours. A true craftsman!
Truly means a lot bud. Thank you!
Thank you for taking the mystery out of cutting half blind dovetails. Guess it is time to start cutting some dovetails.
Wow! Enjoy watching you make dove tails. You make it sound and looks simple. Now I want to learn how to do dove tails.
3:15 We don´t make mistakes, that are just happy accidents! Great tutorial! This will come in handy.
Katz Rules!
Probably should hashtag that on twitter
Great content like always and fun to watch, thank you for sharing your techniques!
Great stuff again Johathan.
BRUHHHHHH. THAT CHISEL TIP. FELT IT. LITERALLY.
Redunculous! Nice job. Nice teaching.
You totally read my mind as I was questioning that rabbet changing dimensions..... Totally answered it though. 👌
Perfecto! Nice work as always Jonathan and I like the thinner smaller tales too. Gives it more class and just looks better.🍻💥
That little brass joinery mallet is cool
Awesome joint this week. Always look forward to your posts. Been putting off getting your dovetail jig but I think it's finally time to pull the trigger after seeing this video. Keep up the good work
I can't wait to see what you create bud!
My entire family (me, wife, 5 year old son and 2 year old daughter) love these videos. We're all amazed by the craftsmanship. Nice haircut BTW
That means a lot bud!
Great work mate that turned out beaut, sometimes that light/dark contrast on the timber just leaps out and it certainly did on today's joint 👍👍👍
Never attempted a proper half blind, I've just cheated and glued a board on the front of the drawer. As always, you make me want to give this a try! Great work, not just this one... all of them!
Thanks bud!
I ordered one of your template guides to help myself out. Really appreciate your well done videos.
Thank you my friend! I can't wait to see what you create!
Great tutorial. Cheers, Huw
This videos inspired me to do a lot of nice projects with this joints
Yea buddy!
your chisel sharpening videos was so interesting had to check out your other videos! great content
Thanks my guy!
Watching again, again
Wish I would have watched this video before I cut my finger down to the bone with a 1/2” chisel lol oh well, life lessons learned the hard way are life lessons learned well! Thank you for the awesome content and I just ordered your 1:8 dovetail guide!
Thanks!
Jonathan, I really appreciate your channel. I'm not a woodworker, but would like to do some things and you do a great job of teaching. Between you and MC, I have learned so much and have come up with so many ideas.
One thing I have been thinking of is a table and have wondered about a good way to attach the legs and I saw the joint with the four square pins and thought that might be a good way. Cut the four pins, then transfer them to the table, drill and chisel to fit.
Anyway, thanks for the schooling and now I need to watch and rewatch the video on essential skills for accuracy.
Go get'em bud!
I really like that lie nielsen rabbet block plane. I have a few lie nielsen tools. Most of my stuff is super old. I've got some chisels and a low angle jack plane some saws and scrapers and that block plane. I've got a few block planes I really like. One is an old craftsman block plane with an adjustable throat. My girlfriend of 2 years, her dad gave me that craftsman block plane. Its like 1960s 1970s lime green haha. That plane is awsome tho. Her dad said they built a canoe with it when he was a kid. Has great history.
Subbed, very well done video and very well done joint.
Welcome my friend
Hey Johnathan.. I'd like to know where to find a brass mallet like the one you use? Love your video's
I used to use UHM tape, (ultra high molecular, a fancy way of saying really thick), to repair a squawk noise coming from the interface between the front anti-roll bar and the mounting bushings of N body GM vehicles. They eventually came out with a bushing made of a different compound that eliminated the noise. I found other uses for UHM tape, not necessarily on cars, so I was glad it was still a good part number.
I know it's not, but I still say that tune sounds like Stevie Ray Vaughan. RIP Stevie
Request for you. Could we get a wedged mortise and tenon joint for a joint of the week segment. My daughter has requested a blanket ladder. Figure it would look cool and be a challenge to attach the rungs with a through mortise and contrasting wedges
I had planned on using this method on seven drawers for my wife’s makeup vanity I’m building but the thought of doing this on all those drawers seems like a daunting task.
You get faster and faster. You can gang cut all the tails to cut a lot of time
Love that joint of the week
But I am missing an Episode of a angled dovetail
Love it! Effortless. So you make it seem at least. Where can one get the slick single sided sticky protective tape?
Thanks!
-Ben
Amazon. Uhmw or uhmv tape
What types of woods are those? Do you have a favorite combo?
What brand was the shoulder plane you used. The one with the little nick adjustable Knick knife incorporated on it. Your right the slim pins look better. Nice job.
It's a Lie Nielsen 60-1/2 rabbeting block plane
Who manufactures the block plane you’re using to clean rabbet ?
Yes their is math, that you can use. German carpenters solved this problem some time ago. Thickness of the board divided by 2 gives you how far you go in on your sides for your half pins. Now to calculate dovetails, length of the board divided by ( 3/2 times the thickness of the board ) . Keep in mind that this does not always give a round number, so you may have to round up or down.
ex. 20mm /2 = 10mm half pin.
160mm /(3/2 *20mm) 5,3 dovetails which I round to 5
if I got five dovetails, and I want the number of pins ADD 1 to your 5 dovetails
so we got 6 pines and 5 dovetails.
This also works in Inches.
Hah, that's great! Using those tiny chisels looks like you're flossing teeth. :) Thanks for another great video.
What was the wood species of the darker wood?
On one of my firsthand cut dovetails, I nearly lost my life because I tried holding the board and scooping it. The board gave way, and my chisel went into my wrist, missing my vein by MMs, i got lucky. Needed stiches and it wasn't the "attention getting way " as they say
What brand and where could I purchase those calipers?
Do you have a link to the carving chisels you mentioned?
Added to description and pinned comment
Wood is so ex, where do you purchase your materials from?
Where did you get that small brass mallet with short handle? Great video
Its linked in the apron video
Thanks, got it! @@katzmosestools
Ok, so I'm a newer wood worker. Not a total beginner, but nowhere near expert. I've seen tons of videos and articles showing how to build a benchtop moxon vice that say it makes cutting dovetails much faster and easier. In contrast, I see very few guys actually using them when making dovetails. Is it worth making one or will I probably just go to my bench vice most likely? Your thoughts?
Moxon vise is amazing! Gets things up where you can see them
Very smick
Nice. How long until the Full Blind? xD
I can’t say I have seen too many videos about adjusting my knickers. Lol. Sorry, I just had to 😏 All seriousness though, I have some questions about wood glue if you don’t mind. Less about brand and more about material. Are there certain active ingredients that make on stronger than others? Also I noticed that a lot of glue says “not recommended for structural use.” Is this in reference to this type of joint use, or more in respect to gluelam timber type bonding?
Probably more the timber framing end of things. Typical wood glue in furniture is stronger than the wood it holds
I know you're a big Stanley Sweetheart fan, but if you just get chisels with properly beveled sides then you don't have all of that clean up and need for additional chisels to get into the corners...
“Hey bro, can you make some really beautiful joints?”
“Yeah, of course.”
“Cool, but can you make sure it doesn’t show on the front?”
“.... yeah 😑”
I find half-blinds with major contrasting woods to be much more visually appealing for drawers, personally. for a coffee table or a box, through dovetails are just fine if not preferred, but in the cases where you only see the front the majority of the time, half-blinds are better. I made a half-moon table a few months ago and used half-blinds across the back. Never will see them as long as the table is up against a wall but seeing sections of the back from the side would ruin the look.
It's like a humble secret weapon or something.
Jonathan you need to give your dovetail jig a formal name. and refer to it in the same fashion, like Shaun does with Greg.
It would be a way more creative name than Greg hahahah Like Ted
🧡💯😎👍🍺
Only bad part about using a dovetail saw guide is cutting into that middle finger 😉
Hahaha yep
Good idea about the tape on the jig to avoid damage. Just a shame that I already screwed my Katz jig after watching miscellanous vids as a novice.. with no such advice in advance
sad
half blind, through, what about double blind??
16:16 I was prepared for blood
I specifically say to use your hand as a break. Its not scary if there's no chance your chisel can reach your finger. I did however saw my finger hahaha which is why I wasn't wearing a bandaid at the beginning but was at the end.
Hullo big guy. Now I have to admit that although you executed this joint in a perfectly professional manner, I really don't like them. Now the bull sh*t is over on my next subject when you said woodworker's make mistakes. I WAS SHOCKED AND TAKEN ABACK. We woodworkers make deviation's from the brain to the tool via the wobbly hand.
English call this a “half lap” dove tail
