Every school needs a woodwork teacher like you man. You put just as much effort into describing your work as your do with the practical side. Cheers for the videos mate!! 👌🏻
Phenomenal. I get this joint as a request for Joint of the Week all the time. No chance I'm trying it now. You just wrote the book, manual and bible. Great work my friend.
I have always had great admiration for people who know how to use tools well. You are the next level creating your own bits and jigs like that. Absolutely awesome sir! Beautiful joint too!
You are the Master of Invention.... You always find a way to accomplish what you want to achieve even if you do not have the exact tools. True inspiration. Aussie Aussie Aussie

one of the most beautiful joints i have ever seen. i think it must be obvious when used in furniture, not hidden. every piece of furniture would become the true piece of art with this joint exposed. thank you for sharing this with us.
Excellent video... a blend of old woodwork and modern machinery. The first joint you made that was very tight, reminded me of when I was stationed overseas years ago. I watched a Dutchman make a cabinet. He used this joint as well as various other tight fitting joints. That man never used a single nail or a drop of glue. He created the drawer pulls by recessing “hidden” finger holds behind the drawer face. It was beautiful, with a various mix of hardwoods. He hand rubbed it with linseed oil. Then I remembered reading books on furniture making in the traditional way, when craftsman didn’t use nails or glue. Your Knapp joint was simply beautiful.
I like how you say "I'll need to put my thinking cap on" to find an upcoming project to use this joint method after having designed and solved a method by which to create the joint in the first place.
That is a very beautiful joint. You remind me of my grandpa. He very very rarely bought any wood working tools. He would make them. He was a wood working genius. He would do stuff just like this all the time. My hats off to you sir. Beautiful work.
was just having that conversation with my dad, neither of us had heard of it and as many of the woodworking shows he watches on saturday morning PBS they hadn't ever shown it. Thinking someone needs to write This Old House and see if they can get Tommy to explain it...
I am SO glad I took wood & metal shop all thru high school. 40 years later and I still use those skills everyday! Even though I have a desk job. I do not have the most expensive tools but I have a full shop and love to repair stuff that others would just throw away. It is also great fun to make one of a kind toys for the family children at Christmas. For those just starting out. The first tools I would buy 1: small band saw 2: power drill 3: router. With these three tools you could make a lot of furniture, etc. Later you can buy power sanders to save you time, and a bench top table saw can help with repeatable, accurate cuts. Be safe and have fun forever.
I looked at the main thumbnail picture, thought that looks way to complicated for me and ignored the video for a while. I watched it eventually and so glad I did, you make the complex and scary seem quite possible (even for me). Thanks your an inspiration!
Well done! I have a friend and former broworker at Shopsmith, Jim McCann, who produced a beautiful version of the Knapp joint that was featured on a lingerie cabinet that was featured in one of the Fine Woodworking design books. His scallops were almost full circles, so he renamed it the Beaver Tail Joint. He hand cuts his tails on a scroll saw, which as you can imagine takes a ton of skill and lots of time. I’ve passed the link to this vid on to him and I’m sure he will appreciate your approach and will relate to your journey! Thanks for sharing, Scott
I am really impressed with your problem solving abilities. I can see myself building some of those jigs to solve other problems I am having at the moment.
Despite this comment coming from a man who sometimes struggle to figure out which end of the nail to wallop into the -metal- wood, this video was watched in it's entirety, and I thoroughly enjoyed it.
I love and hate watching your videos Pask. Love it because they are amazing and hate them because adds one more thing I want to try to an ever growing list. Your sometimes simple, yet overly effective, approach to any problem inspires me to try them all. Keep making vids and inspiring all of us. Thanks.
Hey, just wanted to say what an inspiration you are to me. After watching your videos I've been inspired to try woodworking myself. Sadly, I live in an apartment in UAE (i am from India) and have no access to wood or woodworking space and am just a 15 year old. Hopefully i will remember your channel try to make something myself when i will be older. P.S your videos are great especially the scrapwood challenge
I know what you mean by living in an apartment, especially with a family. I was in an apartment for 8 years until I had enough and left town with my family and we found a house (much cheaper) with a single car garage, which I'm now converting into a shop. Now I'm buying tools again. I am excited to get started! I am 60. (Dang, that is weird writing down that large number!)
Imaduddin Zanjani all you really need to start woodworking is a saw, a plane, and a couple of chisels. You could start with some small projects in your apartment. Look into some resources like Japanese style woodworking or western style woodworkers like Paul Sellers where most everything is done by hand to get you started. It’s also a good way to get a good foundation in basic skills.
Very nicely done indeed. I’ve been building furniture and boats for over fifty years and always wanted to try this type of joint. Thanks so much for the information and expertise. C.D. Springstead, boat builder, and board member, Finger Lakes Boating Museum, Hammondsport, New York, USA
love the joint have seen this in many pieces of furniture, but never had the time to figure out a simple method to make them. This is very clear. thanks!
@@774471jr ha! nice. once you have the jigs made though, it really isn't too complicated. even those are not difficult for a carpenter who is worth his salt.
Awesome. We just don't see this kind of thing anymore. Time is money which drives today's world but it's great to see that you took the time to be a real craftsman. Well done.
I had tried this style decades ago... never any luck....gave up.... Now, I no longer make drawers... and here you are... now I can go to sleep with my fathers a happy man. Thank you. You've done a bang-up job of it!
I'm a carpenter and my grandfather was a furniture maker. But this is the first time I have seen it. Looks fun, so I am going to try and maybe use it in a project myself.
Your video's are what motivates me to go out into the old barn in my summer house to clear it of all the heavy junk and tear down the walls. Just to make a wood working space for me and my old man.
Inspiring work! I’ve never been fond of dovetail joints. I can make them, but I just don’t think they’re all that great looking. I know it’s sacrilege amongst woodworkers but I think box joints and splined miters are much nicer looking. This joint, though, is beautiful! And the level of craftsmanship required should be obvious to anyone. You make it look so easy, too. It’s said you can do anything if you have the right tools; I guess that’s even more true when you know how to MAKE the right tools! If I can manage to make myself a good template and plug cutter, I’ll be using this joint a LOT! Thanks so much for this excellent video!
I've been wanting to make a tool box out of wood and this joint looks like it would be perfect. Both strong and decorative. Maybe a good idea for a scrap wood challenge
@@dansmolen1618 You must be from Northern California...(wink,wink) It's a joke - NorKali grows a large amount of dope. Strangely enough, there's also a lot of dopes there. Go figure. (and no, I'm not making fun of you at all - that was just a great setup line and my warped mind just could not pass it up!!!)
@@thomream1888 you're a funny guy Thom. I really am going to make something with this Knapp joint,can't believe I'd never saw this earlier In life!a real light colored,and a real dark colored wood together,would just really set it off! GO PACK! I'm from Northern Cheesehead country!
@@dansmolen1618 It really is a cool-looking joint. And I'd never seen it until this video. Are you a woodworker? This looks like a difficult joint to make and it's way beyond my skill level.But give me a Skillsaw and I can chop fingers off with the best of them!
What a neat solution to make this cool looking joint! I'm definitely going to try this. I also love the idea of scribing a line to reduce chip out. I'll be stealing that idea for all sorts of jobs. Thank you!
Never seen this type of joint before and like the look of it. I like the indexed method for the first part, cutting one detail per cut. Would be nice to use the same or similar with the other part maybe with some sort of broaching tool with a vertical reciprocating movement. Anyway thanks for this super thought provoking project.
Yeah, something like an arbor press and a half-circle gouge. The trick is constructing the gouge, as I can't think of an easy source for quench-hardenable pipe.
Nicolle I have several pieces with these joints in my possession right now... I restore antiques and vintage furniture and turn old washstands into functional pieces of art Www.facebook.com/wildeyedeagle.design
This is a superb wood working book I`ve ever read, t.co/z6o0f8z2H4 . Both novice and some skilled woodworker can gain a lot of general info using this reading material. I`ve been very amazed how frequently I use this to look up woods at places like to restore and salvage spots.?
Fantastic build and tutorial! Spot on mate the Explanation again in this video is second to none! (That in itself is a gift mate) What sets your videos apart from other YT videos is, we're NEVER left thinking "I don't get it" - which is what makes it a great video tutorial (rather than just ok or good).. Great British backyard engineering and problem solving at its finest! 👍🏴🇬🇧
Because they feel they're not talented enough to do something like this, so they have to shit on those that are. I don't think I could ever do what he did, but rather than be jealous, I'm impressed... in awe...I aspire to even be half the carpenter he is.
Bots. There are bots that generate likes for certain videos to push them higher up in the algorithm, so that they start getting shown to actual people. Those bots need to behave similar to humans, so they can't just like one video, and they like & dislike random other videos to fool the bot detectors. 345 out of 15K is such a low number that it seems to me like it must be bots and maybe misclicks.
Late to the game but thanks for this. And kudos for keeping the slight missteps or imperfections in the process. I love that you didn’t have a spare bit to hand, so you worked out something else. And figured out easier ways AFTER doing it. Real life … and that’s how innovation works anyway.
Not sure if someone has already said this, but you didn't need to anneal the drill at the start. If you had tried to machine it, you would have had to anneal it (unless you used carbide tooling). When grinding, so long as you quench frequently to preserve the temper, you can re-shape steel in its hardened state. Heating and quench hardening introduces a lot of distortion which you could avoid by just re-shaping the drill in its factory hardened, tempered and ground state. Great video though! A really interesting joint.
You did well on this and I give you absolutely major points for going about it in the frontier perspective. I am impressed with your problem solving technique. Thanks for sharing this gem! All the best to you and yours!
Such a beautiful joint, wonderfully executed. I love seeing your thinking process and how you make your jigs and templates. You've got yourself a new subscriber.
Heckuva fine result, and the instructional was impeccable! I remember that years ago, Fine Woodworking magazine had an article by a Bermudan man, who showed how these were done, half by hand, on that island.
Great video sir! I had heard of the joint type but never seen a demonstration of a non factory manufacture process. Really impressed, and nice to see it faults and all, no bull, one of the best woodworking instructions I've seen for years.
There are a lot of folks making cool stuff out there. But none , in my opinion, are as good as your are. Your explanations and the awesome ideas you have (like the improved and easier way to cut out the tight corners) are really unique and outstanding. Thanks for putting so much effort into the video and this awesome channel of yours. Take care!!
My daughter has two antique washstands that have this joint. I have already repainted one and am working on the second one now. This one is Walnut with Walnut burn inlays on the front of the door and drawers. Any value these washstands had as antiques had long been lost by other people trying to repair and strip them with paint scrapers.
You’re a bloody artisan mate. There’s no other way of saying it. Drawers would be an obvious choice for your upcoming project but a box style coffee table would be nice too.
Thanks for sharing! My Grandfather's marble-top dresser has these joints on the drawer sides. I first noticed them years ago and thought, "...Well, look at that!"!
LOVE the joint - don't see me doing it though. Just a bit too ... fiddly. Might try knitting with my toes ..or braiding nose hairs into corn rows or something a little less challenging. 🤣🤣🤣
TOT would make a knuckle duster and beat it into submission. But in reality a form tool with sharp edges could be used with a press. Basically like a cookie cutter idea.
Not sure if anyone has suggested this already, I dont want to read all the comments. You could easily design these specialty templates as 3D models on the computer and print them with a 3D printer! If you are not too computer oriented, seeing as you have the skills its not that hard to learn. Anyways this was a great video and very entertaining/educational to watch!
Well done for producing a fantastic explanation for what at first glance looks like a complicated joint to cut. To many things on my plate at the moment but I'm looking forward to a quiet Sunday afternoon with no children about!
I don’t know how I got here?! But this was fascinating. I’d never do this, have the talent, skills, patience or tools but I still watched the whole thing 😂
Every school needs a woodwork teacher like you man. You put just as much effort into describing your work as your do with the practical side.
Cheers for the videos mate!! 👌🏻
Do they still do woodwork in schools these days?
Thanks very much Alan! :)
@@CelticSaint yes! I am a wood shop teacher. I don't teach this joint though😬 But I do teach dove tails. Hanover PA. USA.
@@CelticSaint My school still has all the equipment but its not its own thing, its used sometimes by the FFA.
I just got an antique dresser with this style of joint. I think it’s my favorite. It looks nice and it’s a very strong joint.

I was watching till the end always thinkig it is about Joints. Hoping they would say it at the end what it has to do about Joints😂
a nice mull of acorns...eh?

A simple and usually free resource for wood is old pallets. Many places are always looking to get rid of them.
Good luck with your woodworking journey! As mentioned earlier, you can get started with a few hand tools or try out wood carving! :)

Heckuva fine result, and the instructional was impeccable! I remember that years ago, Fine Woodworking magazine had an article by a Bermudan man, who showed how these were done, half by hand, on that island.
I'm so glad Matthias sent me here 😍
What the hell matthias is my friggen brother.
Great video sir! I had heard of the joint type but never seen a demonstration of a non factory manufacture process. Really impressed, and nice to see it faults and all, no bull, one of the best woodworking instructions I've seen for years.
Admirado por tu gran inteligencia . Increíble capacidad de resolver problemas . Felicitaciones amigo.
There are a lot of folks making cool stuff out there. But none , in my opinion, are as good as your are. Your explanations and the awesome ideas you have (like the improved and easier way to cut out the tight corners) are really unique and outstanding. Thanks for putting so much effort into the video and this awesome channel of yours. Take care!!
Паск как всегда ходит по грани: из пары сверел, фанеры и пары досок делает вещи, недоступные даже очень рукастым мастерам. Классика😉
Спасибо! :)
Yes ha ha ha ha lol
Why does RUclips show me these videos at bedtime? I should be sleeping, but I can't stop watching. Beautiful workmanship.
That's a beautiful joint. I'll definitely have to mark this for future reference. Thank you for sharing with us.
Makes a dovetail joint look like childs play. Well done!
When you see THIS on a piece of antique furniture you know it's the real thing. BUY IT!
I have only seen it once in hundreds of antique shops.
@@thomasarussellsr I've seen a few (and bought one!) on mostly Eastlake pieces.
Your "thinking cap" and problem solving skills are brilliant! Also, your video was easy to follow and well-produced. Thank you!
Just for fun, I'd like to see you test the joint for strength. It's obviously strong, a ton of glue area. Unique look as well.
My daughter has two antique washstands that have this joint. I have already repainted one and am working on the second one now. This one is Walnut with Walnut burn inlays on the front of the door and drawers. Any value these washstands had as antiques had long been lost by other people trying to repair and strip them with paint scrapers.
You’re a bloody artisan mate. There’s no other way of saying it.
Drawers would be an obvious choice for your upcoming project but a box style coffee table would be nice too.
Thanks for sharing! My Grandfather's marble-top dresser has these joints on the drawer sides. I first noticed them years ago and thought, "...Well, look at that!"!
LOVE the joint - don't see me doing it though. Just a bit too ... fiddly. Might try knitting with my toes ..or braiding nose hairs into corn rows or something a little less challenging. 🤣🤣🤣
I couldn't see the smileys so i don't know if you are joking. Knitting using toes is tough sir! That's some crazy level out there.
braiding nose hairs into corn rows is nothing to sneeze at...
I got here through a suggested video, sometimes youtube gets it right. A very cool joint and a well made video.
I never knew I wanted to do this until I saw this video.
This is the exact definition of working with what you have
This Old Tony would be a good collaboration on this.
Matthias Wandel's Pantorouter would make it a snap.
Yes but he would probably make aluminum drawers... That actually sounds pretty cool
@@mrjp2149 yes ! with his new/old cnc machine (MAHO). Wooden drawers with alluminium or stainless steel fronts.
@@caliguladeuxThat's true he did get it running!
TOT would make a knuckle duster and beat it into submission. But in reality a form tool with sharp edges could be used with a press. Basically like a cookie cutter idea.
The joint is beyond beautiful!
You. Are. A. Genius.
Nothing more to say, other than pointing out how much I enjoy your videos.
I wouldn’t mind if you made one per day ;-)
Not sure if anyone has suggested this already, I dont want to read all the comments. You could easily design these specialty templates as 3D models on the computer and print them with a 3D printer! If you are not too computer oriented, seeing as you have the skills its not that hard to learn. Anyways this was a great video and very entertaining/educational to watch!
Neve seen these joints before but I really like them.
Well done for producing a fantastic explanation for what at first glance looks like a complicated joint to cut.
To many things on my plate at the moment but I'm looking forward to a quiet Sunday afternoon with no children about!
I don’t know how I got here?! But this was fascinating.
I’d never do this, have the talent, skills, patience or tools but I still watched the whole thing 😂
Glad you enjoyed it! :)
same
I'm a novice woodworker but damn, I'm keen to give this a crack
