    I think showing how to fix mistakes is probably about as important as any other skill in woodworking. If everyone edited out their mistakes, the learning curve for us watching these would be significantly increased. Thank you for sharing and how to remedy.

    I like the way you admit when an error has been made (it happens to all of us) and then proceed to find a workable solution. Real life is like that and it's part of our education as aspiring woodworkers to see the way a professional operates.

  • @JamesWilliams-en3os
    @JamesWilliams-en3os 3 года назад +1

    Outstanding! I like the way you don’t hide your error on the drawer front. Real life woodworking has to include adjusting for problems. This mini-series is a great recap of the marathon 37-episode series on drawer making you did last spring, Rob. Thanks again, looking forward to the next installment.

I will continue my own work with 4 dovetailed boxes, my wife asked me to build. To make them more personal I will try to carve some words on each of them. Since I have never tried to carve before, this would also be very interesting to me. Kind regards from Beckum, Germany.

    When making dovetail joints I also use your offset method which always gives almost perfect results. As an aid for this I made a simple rectangular block that is half about 1.5cm thick and the other half 1.5cm + the thickness of my saw blade. With this I always have the correct offset and I do not have to use my marking gauge for this. Every time I watch a video of you I learn something new. greetings from Flanders (Belgium)

    Thanks for the videos. I recently had to remake my drawer sides because I didn’t absorb your method for laying out the bottom tail on the back end of the drawer side. I pulled up this video and watched it again - standing in front of my workbench - and you got me through.
    I did have a quick question, what blades do you use on your feet saw? I’ve got #7 and #3 spiral blades that I don’t care for. I use your dovetail saw and the spiral blades score the sides of the tails and pins if I try to fit them through the kerf. I want to get standard style blades, but want to make sure they slide right down the kerf.

    I know I am coming late to the party with a question, but here goes. Since everything is referenced off the bottoms of the drawer pieces, how do you lay out the pins on the drawer front if it is wider than the drawer sides? I want the drawer front to cover the carcass shelf.

      Think “process”. If the “doing it” is not your thing vs the “getting it done”, use the router!
