The drawers are made of solid quarter sawn poplar with solid one piece figured poplar drawer bottoms. The drawers are joined with hand cut dovetails. The finish is an aniline dye followed by a beautiful protective shellac based Royal Lac finish. www.shellacfini...

    What's cool about the dovetail joinery being done by hand is that each dovetail is unique from the next, if even slightly.

    every time im speechless and dont ever want the videos to end.thank you so much for extending the length of the vids and adding more methods.i can safely say you are the best out there that openly shows there methods.
    just a side note, have you ever thought of doing an online teaching class.kind of like pauls sellers.
    i have huge respect for paul hes helped me alot.but and its a big but i can see from your work your joinery is above his.
    a class of its own.id pay good money to watch you teach.
    the one thing that all these so called gurus hold back is the core basic knowledge of when where and why you use certain joints and the basics of design.im not stupid i no why,if they did teach us that then we wouldn't have to watch them anymore.
    this info is so hard to come by ive been searching for years and cant find it.ive asked paul why he teaches how to build drawers tables and chairs and how to make the joints but not tell what the joint is best used for,but i get a long answer basically avoinding answering me.
    i no your really busy and probably dont have the time to teach how to build projects but maybe you could do an in depth series on the joint application and basic desgn and how to tackle projects from start to finish
    thanks for all you do all the best

    It seems that you typically use a LN 4 1/2 high angle smoother (or something close to it), but every once in a while I notice that you pick up what looks like a Veritas LA smoother. Is one more comfortable than the other? Or is there a functional difference?

    question : what kind of hand plane was that you were using at 4:10 ?
    this whole project and video is amazing! I love the shot when you are planing the top or might have been the case side and it looked like it was night. ( you could see your shadow) little details like that make it such an awesome video. I can honestly say I can't wait for your next video :-) take care, and have a good one!!
