Thanks Don! There is a link to the exact one I use in the description. If you get it, and try, but get stuck, you email me, and I’ll walk you through it. ~James
I am 83 years old ,and just took up woodworking a year ago ,have purchased most all the tools I need ,and watched many ,many videos on woodworking ,but I have to say you are the greatest ,I love the way you take the time to explain as you go.I just subscribed to your site ,and will be a constant watcher from this day forward ,I have the same dovetail jig as you and am going to watch your tutorial on through dovetails right now ,thank you for what you do ,and keep up the good work, Dave Thomas
Hey, I'm from Brazil, but I'm staying in the US till the end of the year, and I really wanted this keepsake to give to my great grandmother for her birthday, she turns 92 on October 3rd, so it would be a very nice gift for her to put her antique jewlery. Thanks very much for your work, I love your channel and woodworking, I started woodworking a couple of years ago when I was 15.
Thank You very much indeed. My dovetail jig has lain unused for 50 years. Ain't divorce grand. Your explanation is so clear compared to others and explains what to use when one has lost the cutting blade assemblies which fitted an electric drill.
Good, clear instructions. I bought "A matched pair, side by each" of 4212's separately in the mid/late '90's then added the 4215 miniature template a couple of years later at the old shop and they all work extremely well. They're great for cookie-cutter cabinets, boxes, etc., projects for the shop and so forth. Now, with a smaller shop, yet, with many additional chisels, hand saws, bench planes, "And more!", they're still useful on occasion. (As you may have surmised, I'm a firm believer in the philosophy, "Its impossible to have too many tools", etc.) As the former "Guitar Doctor" for Stars Guitars in San Francisco, CA., Paduk is one of my favorite woods. In fact, I even have the totes and knobs on my Jack, Fore and Jointer planes made from it.
I’m just getting into wood working. You are the most extraordinary woodworking person I have ever seen. All your work I have seen had a Lotta detail and look very very nice. I wish I would be able to work with you for about a week doing project. My grand daughter wants me to make her a rocking chair. This is one of my goals. Oh I love your work.
I just got my Porter Cable dovetail jig the other day and yesterday was a very unsuccessful day with it, this morning I seen this video and let me tell you I was so happy that you're explaining step by step has your building the Box, what a great video so I subscribed to your Channel thank you.
I’ve been interested in wood working for a long time. I have never immersed myself since work and family matters have always been priority. Now that I have lost my parents and my job, I have much too much time on my hands. I started watching theses videos on youtube, not just woodworking, to past time. Manly P. Hall, lecturer, and Paul Sellers have captivated me. I mentioned Manly P. Hall because of his content, of course, but mainly for his cadence and tone. You and Paul Sellers are the best woodworking instructors i’ve seen. You show and tell the important and necessary and don’t fill with too much fluff. I get so inspired that I am going to start collecting the essentials so I can start working on wood myself. Still out of a job it will take a while but i’ll get there. I love the way your daughters help you. They are learning valuable skills that can be applied to life... Man, you must spend a lot of money on glue! Just my frail attempt at humor. Looking forward to more of your videos.
Just have to stay thank you. Bought a dovetail jig today and was having a major hard time. All others videos are not as informative as your step by step. I think tomorrow I'll have it nailed. No pun intended, thanks again.
It all came together nicely. Once this test up is good its on to making another one with nicer wood. In so happy with your channel i bought the plans for it. Thanks again, you're the best.
Great video on the keep-safe box. There's so much clarity when you explain how its built, rather on all your wood working project that i have seen. I have been looking at your videos for near two years. I am not a full-time wood worker and more often engaged in the production of local mill lumber. However there's an unwavering interest in starring my own wood working. I would really appreciate winning some thing made by you.
I was given a Craftsman dovetail jig several years ago for Christmas but I have been intimidated by its complexity I may give it a try now. Thanks for the great lesson.
Hi Charlie. Definitely give it a try. The Craftsman Jigs all work exactly the same way as this Porter Cable. I have used those for years. Thank you for watching.
Hi James, Thank you for helping me better understand how to develop needed skills for working wood! I love how your daughters are included in your projects - you go girls! James, brother you’re the best! Thanks again
Great looking box, but I am truly impressed with the time that you take to explain your process and set up of the jig, you make it seem easy, I have read so many peoples comments about how difficult the dovetail jigs are to set up that I was afraid to spend the money for one. Now I will get me one. Thanks, and keep up the good work.
Just got the 2416 Porter Cable and found your link. Watched a number of different ones on dovetails and didn't understand every thing about it. Then I watched yours and now know I have a good handle on the process. Thanks Ken
I pushed the send by mistake before I was finished. What I wanted to say was that you taught me more with this video on this jig than any other RUclipsr. Thank you so much. I don't feel like I wasted my money on buying this jig, "So Thanks!"
Very good video. You have a good voice for making these, clear easy to understand and not tiring to listen to. I have been listening to several of these trying to decide dhich brand to buy. You have helped make up my mind. You have made the PC jig appear to be very user friendly plus the cost is appreciated when looking at the other major brands. Thank you.
- Thanx for the clear, concise set up for dovetails. I've always gotten totally frustrated & given up on them but feel much more confident after your video. Effective teaching is being able to convey information in a meaningful way & you "kicked it up a notch." Thanx again.
You are a very fortunate man to have the interest and involvement of your family in your passion . I say passion because it is evident in the skill and commitment to detail . Also you are a teacher of wood craft evidenced by the great work by the girls . May you have success in your new venture . By the way you have convinced me to purchase a box joint jig , I only hope I can produce as quality as you have . Once again hope you have much success with the You Tube John Winn
I have watched a few of these instructional videos and yours is by far the easiest to follow. I have had this jig since xmas 2020 and am just getting the chance to try it out. I like how clear and easy to follow your videos are. You also explain the "Why" where a lot of people don't. Thank you.
Nice work James. I"m a fan of the level of detail you always provide. As a father of two daughters, I'm especially fond of how you've managed to get and keep your daughters interested in woodworking with their dad.
Not being funny, but I'm quite new to woodworking, picked up from my dad who made grandfather clocks for his friends, (JUST FOR THE FUN OF IT), and sitting here watching your video, I was sat with my mouth almost wide open in awe of what you can do. I am very impressed with this video, not only in terms of what you can do, but also in terms of the clarity of your tutorial. Thank you James. Think your name is James (hope it is James!!!). It's like watching my (sadly deceased) dad, and just as educational.
Hi Gary! It is James. I bet your Dad was an amazing woodworker to be able to build grandfather clocks. Thank you so much for the kind complement. ~James
I got one of these jigs with all three templates for 150. At the orange store watched several videos on how to use. Your was the first that explained it very easily and took the intimidation factor out of it. Thanks for sharing Joe
Awesome I just started watching. I enjoy learning woodworking with you and your family. At 62 I barely remember woodshop classes in High School but I know it was something I enjoyed. Watching your channel has rekindled a Passion I had growing up. Thank You very much
Besides being a tremendously skilled woodworker you are obviously a great father. My goodness, I think I counted five daughters! You are a gentle soul and have gained my admiration. I have learned a lot from you and enjoy your teaching manner. I am a retired Idaho teacher and know good teaching when I see it - you have it! God Bless.
Thanks for the video. I could not remember which way to turn the piece of wood when milling the second set of tails - whether you flip it end for end or rotate the pice of wood. Watching your video clarified that for me. Thanks, Jim.
I think this was the best explanation of how to use a jig to make dove tails. Clear and very well explained. I also like that you use all of your family in your work and videos. Good luck with your new venture.
Dear James, I seriously doubt that I am partially responsible for the decision you took in doing full time video clips, but I would like to thank you for crediting me with some responsibility. As with all your woodworking projects, just watching a master at his work is sheer pleasure & brings joy & happiness. Just like listening to a musician playing a piece from Mozart & / an artist painting a Vermeer, a chef cooking a fine meal. Raw materials just like fish & vegetables are just part of the recipe, one needs a person of some considerable experience to combine all these elements into something that will give rise to awe. You dear Sir never fail to rise up to the occasion. Kind regards.
Dear James, Thank you very much for your hearted reply. People on RUclips are two a penny ( or in your case a Dime a dozen), I am sure there many folks out there that do similar things to your good self, however they must be very few & far between. Your approach is original, well presented & dictated. You as a parent get your family involved to share your passion & infuse certain values they will cherish as the years go by. There aren't that many that can boast that, I can assure you. You combine all these to make a rather unique video clip that is both enjoyable & educational. I trust I've fully justified my sentiments?. Kind regards to all.
This was an outstanding tutorial!! I bought the Porter Cable Dovetail Jig about two years ago and never used it. I was intimidated by it and needed a tutorial like yours to help me feel like I could tackle a project like this. I’ll have plenty of time to practice as, unfortunately, I lost my left leg about a year ago. I feel that I’m close to being ready to get back out in my shop. I plan on watching more of your videos as well for more inspiration. Thanks for all you do!
I just bought The Jig, but I worried if I'll be able to use it correctly. It's hard to find anybody who willingly would like to share knowledge about carpentry with others in Japan. Luckily I found your tutorial. I doubt if anybody could explain how it works better than you did. Many thanks for your time and effort you put into creating this tutorial.
It’s really nice to see that you are including your children in your work. I wish that practice was more widespread in this country. Awesome woodwork!❤
Very nice. I enjoy your style. And I think is cute that you have a photo-bomber in your shop. I also really enjoy the fact that your girls join you in the shop. Good luck with your endeavor.
I loved watching this video and listening to your narration. So cool that your daughters are involved. This has to be so rewarding and mentally heathy. Thanks again for sharing!! 👍😉
Great video! Best tutorial of the PortaCable Dovetail system out there, seen a lot of them. Love that you always have your daughters working with you in the shop.
I think others have pointed it out in different ways but, you have a talent at making an informative video entertaining enough that time flies by. 37 min is a long RUclips video but I never once tapped the screen to see how much longer before it was over. Perfect pace and awesome production.
I love the long format videos - thank you for taking the time to make them! The longer videos and your very clear instruction make me feel like I get to have some of the apprenticeship experience that I have never had the chance to have in person :D
James, I love your videos and I love that you take the time to include your daughters. I also love spending time in the shop with my daughter. Thank you for all that you do.
Your video was just what I needed to get my jig set up for through dovetails. Followed your instructions and my first test piece was just right. And your keepsake box is just beautiful! Thanks for the tutorial!

@@thomasenriquez6840 hi hi
I watched no fewer than a dozen videos on how to use dovetail jigs before I stumbled upon this one. By far the best. Thanks!

"Starting" ...correction
I’ve been making a lot of boxes lately and you made me get out my dove tail jig and make a few boxes with this type of joint.
You have a very lovely family , God bless you all.
Beautiful box you are a teacher of craftsmanship and art
Nice project. Your instruction using the dovetail jig is great. Thank you.
I was given a Craftsman dovetail jig several years ago for Christmas but I have been intimidated by its complexity I may give it a try now. Thanks for the great lesson.
Hi Charlie. Definitely give it a try. The Craftsman Jigs all work exactly the same way as this Porter Cable. I have used those for years. Thank you for watching.
What a wonderful and calm video. Thank you very much for your posts.
Thanks, James. Beautiful family.
Hi James,
Thank you for helping me better understand how to develop needed skills for working wood!
I love how your daughters are included in your projects - you go girls!
James, brother you’re the best!
Thanks again
i enjoy your videos and commentary; i especially like how your family is involved
Glad you took the time to show how you set up the Dovetail Jig.
Thanks for watching!
Great job my friends. Nice you have the girls learning wood working too. My 11 yr old daughter and 14 yr old son are learning too.
Great looking box, but I am truly impressed with the time that you take to explain your process and set up of the jig, you make it seem easy, I have read so many peoples comments about how difficult the dovetail jigs are to set up that I was afraid to spend the money for one.

Hi Richard! That's awesome. And thank you!
Enjoyed your tutorial very much. The box also turned out beautiful.

This will be a great Xmas gift for my granddaughter. Thank you.
Just bought a P&C Jig. watched a few video's, this was excellent and will help me with my first item. Thanks.
Sunday morning coffee with the King family....Nice treat. I enjoyed it. Thanks
Good morning Jimbo! Thank you very much!
Your girls do this like a pro. Very nice work
Your humidors are quite beautiful. Puts any cigar aficionado in a class of their own. Keep up the great work!
Very clear instruction and easy to follow, Thankyou!
Probably the most complete and clearest woodworking video I've ever viewed.
Very nice video. Also, a greater project for my grandkids to help work on .
Thanks and good to you in your full time job!
Thanks so much for the tutorial on how to use the Porter Cable jig. It was so helpful.
Great Video James and just beautiful. Thanks for sharing.

I finally decided to get back in to wood working, I really enjoyed watching this, ...Thanks really nice video.👍

I liked the thoroughness of the tutorial
First time observing your class, loved it very informative.
By far, the best dovetail tutorial I've ever seen. Thanks.
Hi Tom! Thank you very much! I hope you will come back later and check out some of my other Online Class videos. ~James
Just like watching you it is so nice showing your children how to work with you they will keep up all your good knowledge in your Workshop me
Thank you!
another great video James thanks a lot from the UK
Thank you!
Thanks a lot for this video, it is very clear and enjoying to watch. All the best
Nice work James. I"m a fan of the level of detail you always provide. As a father of two daughters, I'm especially fond of how you've managed to get and keep your daughters interested in woodworking with their dad.

Beautiful and simple. Clean design.

Simplistic and yet very detailed. Excellent for those of us learning the trade. Thank you.
Thank you!

Watching you more each day. Thanks

Cool video! Making a box for dad's ashes and this was helpful. Great looking family. Thanks for all the videos.
Sorry for your loss. And thank you for the kind comments. ❤️
Very good explained the best video so far I’ve watched really good explanation , i give you 100 points
I like it... nice slow and steady instructions
I think you do awesome work I like seeing your videos of all the projects you do.
A. Very talented family and very cool box
Thank you!
Thanks for the video. I could not remember which way to turn the piece of wood when milling the second set of tails - whether you flip it end for end or rotate the pice of wood. Watching your video clarified that for me. Thanks, Jim.

Hi Tom! Thank you very much.
good effort. Nice to see how other woodworkers work through their projects!
A beautiful piece of work. Hugely instructional. A box fit for a King.
@35:29, very cute photo bomber. What a lucky dad to have such a beautiful family. Thanks for all those cool videos.
Your style is great. Always enjoyable
Dear James,
I seriously doubt that I am partially responsible for the decision you took in doing full time video clips, but I would like to thank you for crediting me with some responsibility. As with all your woodworking projects, just watching a master at his work is sheer pleasure & brings joy & happiness. Just like listening to a musician playing a piece from Mozart & / an artist painting a Vermeer, a chef cooking a fine meal. Raw materials just like fish & vegetables are just part of the recipe, one needs a person of some considerable experience to combine all these elements into something that will give rise to awe. You dear Sir never fail to rise up to the occasion. Kind regards.
You are far too kind. Thank you again.
Dear James,
Thank you very much for your hearted reply. People on RUclips are two a penny ( or in your case a Dime a dozen), I am sure there many folks out there that do similar things to your good self, however they must be very few & far between. Your approach is original, well presented & dictated. You as a parent get your family involved to share your passion & infuse certain values they will cherish as the years go by. There aren't that many that can boast that, I can assure you. You combine all these to make a rather unique video clip that is both enjoyable & educational. I trust I've fully justified my sentiments?. Kind regards to all.
Fully justified I am sure!!!
You're far too kind Sir, but thank you nonetheless.
Merely stating the obvious. I guess there must be a lot of blinds folks out there???
This was an outstanding tutorial!! I bought the Porter Cable Dovetail Jig about two years ago and never used it. I was intimidated by it and needed a tutorial like yours to help me feel like I could tackle a project like this. I’ll have plenty of time to practice as, unfortunately, I lost my left leg about a year ago. I feel that I’m close to being ready to get back out in my shop. I plan on watching more of your videos as well for more inspiration. Thanks for all you do!
Very nice box. Very good job on your box and love you do your presentation
Fantastic job. I love the colour of that wood
I am new to wood working and was impressed with the outcome of the Keepsake box.
wish I could thumbs up again. a great refresher on dovetails!
Thank you my friend!!
Beautiful box and great narrative of your process
Thank you!
I just bought The Jig, but I worried if I'll be able to use it correctly. It's hard to find anybody who willingly would like to share knowledge about carpentry with others in Japan. Luckily I found your tutorial. I doubt if anybody could explain how it works better than you did. Many thanks for your time and effort you put into creating this tutorial.
You always make it look so easy your attention to detail is why I watch your videos.
It’s really nice to see that you are including your children in your work. I wish that practice was more widespread in this country. Awesome woodwork!❤
Thank you.
Very nice. I enjoy your style. And I think is cute that you have a photo-bomber in your shop. I also really enjoy the fact that your girls join you in the shop. Good luck with your endeavor.
i enjoy your video very much and very informative and well illustrated .
Thanks James and family for all your videos. Just purchased the miter station plans and excited to get started.
superb box james well done my friend
I loved watching this video and listening to your narration. So cool that your daughters are involved. This has to be so rewarding and mentally heathy. Thanks again for sharing!!
👍😉
Very clear demo. I’m looking forward to seeing more, as I’m newly retired and anxious to add your techniques and tricks to my tool belt.
Great video! Best tutorial of the PortaCable Dovetail system out there, seen a lot of them. Love that you always have your daughters working with you in the shop.
I think others have pointed it out in different ways but, you have a talent at making an informative video entertaining enough that time flies by. 37 min is a long RUclips video but I never once tapped the screen to see how much longer before it was over. Perfect pace and awesome production.
Thank you very much!
I love spoonerisms. Great video, awesome project!
I love the long format videos - thank you for taking the time to make them! The longer videos and your very clear instruction make me feel like I get to have some of the apprenticeship experience that I have never had the chance to have in person :D
Hi Nick. Thank you very much!
That truly is a beautiful box! Whoever ends up with it, will be the luckiest person ever! Beautiful project!
James, I love your videos and I love that you take the time to include your daughters. I also love spending time in the shop with my daughter. Thank you for all that you do.
Thank you! We really enjoy working together.
Very helpful video. I’ve always avoided dovetails, now I’m encouraged to try them. Thanks!
I appreciate this video. Nice job explaining this.
Very beautiful box
Thank you!
Your video was just what I needed to get my jig set up for through dovetails. Followed your instructions and my first test piece was just right. And your keepsake box is just beautiful! Thanks for the tutorial!
Don’t know if I’m in time...but doggon! That box is fine!
Beautiful work and excellent video!
Ha haa...ahhh...yes, the Glue Gods will be pleased!!!! Your videos are great sir!...thanks for your work and sharing the knowledge..
Great teaching video on dovetails and assembly methods. Great looking boxes.
Thanks Sam. I'm glad you like it.
