Jonathan, I was a producer for Fox sports and later ESPN. Weekly I had to reassure the talent that trolls will be trolls. It’s easy to hide behind a keyboard. It much harder to put yourself out there like you do. Keep up the great work, don’t sweat the small stuff. You are doing a great job.
Hello young man. Over my life time (of which is long) I have never seen such clever and beautiful piece of woodwork done mainly by hand. This is why trees are cut down, it allows people like yourselves to use your skills and show joints that people can really push the boat out and take on a challenge. you should take this up full time you are quite good at it. Take care BIG GUY.
I wish I had your skills with the hand tools but its not some thing that comes over night. Im new to wood working and have learned enough to be extremely impressed with the skills involved using hand tools. Guys like you leave me amazed. Keep up the beautiful work and the great videos.
I have to say I loved last weeks joint, not sure just how strong a decorative box needs to be I would have thought last weeks joint was strong enough. Of course you then had to go further and my what a beaut of a joint this weeks turned out to be, I still think that lacewood is the star of the piece. 👍👍👍
I kinda wanna see that corner carved out of a solid piece of wood. For something that has legs, having a full square beam with the dovetails carved out would be a cool look.
I like that you used lacewood as the backing board at about 9:30. I haven't made a dovetail yet, I just made my first box joint about 3 months ago. When I showed it to a friend, he showed me a box his father had made that had box joints with a different colored dowel pin running vertically. I'll keep working at these. Thanks much. I subscribed and hit thumbs up to crush a troll.
I have to agree with Willy T. Unreinforced miter joints aren't really that weak. I have made many boxes that way over the last 22 years, some that I kept and use frequently in my shop and none have come apart so far. Although I haven't dropped any on a hard floor yet, which might do the trick!
I’m new here. I appreciate how you explain the math ect and what exactly you are doing then speed through the process. Don’t need to see another dovetail cut. Well done and thank you
Being a total noob to woodworking, this video is waaay more work and planning than it looks like. He makes it look pretty easy. Awesome looking joint. Thumbs up and definitely sub’d.
Thank you, Jonathan, for your sharing and teaching through these well thought out and professional videos. This one, in particular, hits home with me, as I am building some shadow box picture frames. I wish you were my next-door neighbor so I could visit you often and learn your secrets of fine joinery. These videos make that possible as if I was living next door. Thank you again.
I've had problems with purpleheart not gluing well because it's an oily wood. Try wiping it down with mineral spirits before gluing next time and see if it stays together better, it's worked for me in the past.
I love how the sacrificial boards with all these RUclipsrs is one of those most expensive pieces of wood in. The shop. Lol cant wait til I’m at that level.
Parabéns meu amigo..., aprendi mais uma, adorei a sua ideia, também, você é muito caprichoso, suas habilidades são de espantar! Abraço aqui do Brasil 🇧🇷
It's beautiful. One day I hope to have the skill to put this together. It occurred to me if you really wanted to make a strong joint, though severely lengthen your work time, full blind dovetails in the lacewood would do it.
JKM, your dovetailing is amazing, splined or otherwise~! I have a project coming up to finally use the dovetail guides I bought from you. Can't wait to get started~!
I find that plenty of glue is essential, as you mentioned (on both sides) and also, using clamps with plenty of pressure to fully bond the inlay. Without the clamps, I have had issues-even with a,lot of glue, but never with the clamps plus plenty of glue.
Awesome man! I was one of those that commented about it being a weak joint,The fact you give it another go just got me to subscribe. And didn’t go on some rant about trolls in the comment section. You just did a stronger more beautiful joint with the Purple Heart inlay and a spline.
Bloody beautiful, joints 1 and 2. So nice to see hand cut joint, it's a dieing art with all the router jigs out there. Once again nice work, you definitely gained another sub here. 👍
that looks really nice! Could cut 1/8 in slots in the middle of each dovetail, parallel with the tail direction, and put ebony flats in it. Instead of the vertical ebony piece drill it when done and insert brass rod down the side tails and one down the front tails.... That would make a really strong joint and probably look amazing.
I'm not sure that those saying you needed a spline were necessarily "right". You said that very thing in your last video! So I was just watching a talented craftsman have fun with a joint and share that with all of us (for free...ahem)! Thanks for doing what you do! You inspire other craftsmen and craftswomen to go out and try new things, and that's all that matters. The other "experts" in the comments can, well, just keep doing their thing.
Hey, when the big earthquake hits, I want to know that I can seek shelter in my sock drawer when my house comes collapsing down... And not to mention the ease at which I can sleep at night just knowing that my remote control caddy could, if needed, double as a small bomb shelter 😀
Yo Jonathan ... really good episode, it looks amazing (and strong). BTW ... just received my 6:1 today from you and am already having a blast with it. It is so easy to use, even I make good cuts with it. Thanks for the quick turnaround time on the order, needless to say, I was extremely anxious to receive it.
I feel like next week you should do the same thing again, but then use a hidden dovetail miter joint with a butterfly key going lengthwise, and top it off with dovetail splines. After that no one would question it's strength. Very nice joint, good source of inspiration.
@@katzmosestools I got bored and modeled it, because I can't make it out to my shop. It would be a very interesting order of operations to get this done. dl.dropbox.com/s/lrxs7enwt5leirj/Strange%20Dovetail.jpg *edit Crap I forgot the dovetail splines, dangit *edit 2 There we go, looked better with the inlay on the spline as well. dl.dropbox.com/s/d32w0bseau57d1g/Strange%20Dovetail%20Inlay%20Spline.jpg
Wow, that's beautiful. It's funny because depending on the application the joint before if just for say a keepsake box is going to be plenty strong. The whole " it's a weak joint" is all relative. Keep doing cool joints! Push the limits!
This is a very artistic type of joint, and like you say very precise. I like it. You did a great job. I also love the different wood colors and contrasts. first time viewer so I subscribed.
I love this look! Question for you.... how well do you think this type of reinforced joint will hold up as a stair tread/rise (structural). I want to do a set of stairs with this same dovetail miter at the nose - would be beautiful. let me know.
I really liked the look of the mitered dovetail corner from last week, and I actually prefer it if you don't want all the focus of the project to be on the joint. Whatever project this joint gets used on would have to be better than the joint so it wouldn't be overshadowed by it, unless that's what you're going for. If you wanted to add hidden strength to the mitered dovetail corner, couldn't you use dowels or biscuits, or even a spline that's buried in the joint? That's what I was thinking last week when I saw the comments on the weakness of this joint.

As a very new wood worker, watching videos like these are truly inspiring.
It was this specific joint that made me go buy my first tools.
Brother can u tell what is use this half triangle
there's tons of beautiful things in the world that aren't practical. Doesn't mean that they aren't cool. You first joint was cool and i liked it!
Thanks bud! I really appreciate it!
Agreed!
I like people who love what thay do. And you show the pride you put in to it. Beautiful joint.!!!!
What a beautiful joint, I can't believe people are so callous. Thank you for sharing both joints with us, I enjoyed the videos!
You make it look so easy. God bless you my brother!!

God gave you the gift of woodworking , glad to see you are using it for teaching others ! Really like the look of this joint ! You outdid yourself !
I really appreciate it bud!
Taking critique, learning from it and going above and beyond is why I subscribed to you.
Amazing work !
really nice! your joint of the week series is probably my favorite of your video. thanks for the upload.
You are great at teaching and have a good heart for sharing knowledge. Thanks. Beautiful craftsmanship.

I was questioning all of my decisions over the last couple months after your video last week, but you have redeemed yourself.
Shaun, I was worried about you. Glad you're ok.
@Bryan Hunter #makermate has a ring to it...
This looks amazing. It would be cool if you did a video on how to make a whole box with this technique.
Such a nice touch with the ebony it just really "pops" !!!!
I wish I had your skills with the hand tools but its not some thing that comes over night. Im new to wood working and have learned enough to be extremely impressed with the skills involved using hand tools. Guys like you leave me amazed. Keep up the beautiful work and the great videos.
That means a lot bud. Thank you for your kind words

Of course you then had to go further and my what a beaut of a joint this weeks turned out to be, I still think that lacewood is the star of the piece. 👍👍👍

Your photography is amazing. And so is the joint.
Wow wow wow. Awesome Katz!! Should have used your stop block!! Love the simplicity in how you explain tough stuff. Very helpful and encouraging
Absolutely awesome, thank you for making it simple to follow, with good lighting, from the other "Dr. "Phil" !
Hats off for honesty and integrity
I kinda wanna see that corner carved out of a solid piece of wood.
For something that has legs, having a full square beam with the dovetails carved out would be a cool look.
I totally agree I though that's what it was in the first place.
You could, but grain orientation matters a LOT in dovetail joinery and you would have a hard time finding stock that would mate properly.
The joint design in this link may be better for that. I can envision a square beam being used in it:
ruclips.net/video/yn6HUdJMAYs/видео.html
Nice joint. I think even a spline across the 90 degree corner centered in each dovetail would look awesome with the right color of woods.
Thanks for your humility . Makes me fell like your honest enough to keep watching.
Glad I earned your trust on the internet hahaha
Beautiful job, a lot of manual work and you are very skilled and patient. Awesome!
I think that’s the most beautiful joint I’ve ever seen.
I'm new to this, and most of the stuff I watch is overwhelming, but you do a good job of explaining simply by showing. Looks beautiful by the way!
wow wow wow. That inlay dovetails looks outstanding! I'm waiting for your 1:6 & 1:8 ratio guides to arrive! Can't wait.
Mind blown with this joint. Thank you for sharing.
Yep, totally going to use this joint in my next box! Very cool Johnathan!
It's incredibly rewarding to finish. the middle takes a while hahahaha
I'm client of you and I follow your fantastic master pieces an learn from you. Congratulations my friend
That is incredible. Beautiful joint, and so much detail!
Just to mess with everyone, you should have made the same joint as last time... Then used a pocket holes for strength. 😂
And then dub that the Epic Middle Finger Joint.
Yeah and put a 2x2 in the corner to catch the screws...
Just to keep things from coming apart lol 😃
That would be epic. Lol
I like that you used lacewood as the backing board at about 9:30. I haven't made a dovetail yet, I just made my first box joint about 3 months ago.

i just found *TopFineWoodworking. Com* and the plans on there are so amazingly laid out and well thought i don’t know what I would do without them now
Really nice job bro!!!👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
You are amazing!!! I subscribed I'm pretty new to wood working. and I'm glad I found your channel I hope to learn a lot from your vids!!!!

@@desertmulehunter, take your own advice.
You wouldn't have to back pedal your earlier comment if you weren't a hater.
I couldn’t have imagined such a thing. Wonderful.
Bloody beautiful, joints 1 and 2. So nice to see hand cut joint, it's a dieing art with all the router jigs out there. Once again nice work, you definitely gained another sub here. 👍
Just when I thought you couldn't get any joint-ier, you go and do something like this... and totally redeem yourself!

Wow, you know what you doing, huh? Michael Scott's "what she said" and end with 360 view of a peice did it for me. Thanks!
Love the Joint! I appreciate your energy and will to transmit your skills. Keep it up.
Thank you Dan I really appreciate it!
I just got one of your dovetail guides. Looking forward to trying it out!

What a nice work.
It is so great to have space, and tools to do things.
Things are hell of expensive, specially to rent a space
That looks beautiful, I have to try it.
People talk about joints being weak like glue hasn't improved for 100 years. Are these people making structural jewelry boxes?
That a load bearing spice rack?
no there making pritty wooden safes
Lol, ikr, like a joint like that is going to be holding as ton of weight. Lotza newbees here trying to seem smart lmao
Hey, when the big earthquake hits, I want to know that I can seek shelter in my sock drawer when my house comes collapsing down...

Maybe climbing?
Nice joint broski! You should see if snoop dogg will come do a joint of the week episode with you 😁
bahahahaha in California that might actually be a possibility!
That is f**king gorgeous man. Love that Inlay work. And the species contrast beautifully. Awesome job man.
You could make him a joint box...
He would naturally have to use box joints.
I'm not a fan of weed, but that's an awesome idea!
Way to not act all butt-hurt when addressing fans' issues-- Beautiful joint, I especially like the square-stock spline-- kudos
Thank you my friend hahaha I really appreciate it!
Congratulatio my friend !!! Very very cool your job !
These are beautiful joints. Can't wait to try out my new jigs!
Beautiful Joint and perfectly executed!
Cheers !
they are both beautiful looking joints. thanks. now lets strength test them to see which is stronger :D
that is really slick looking
Yo Jonathan ... really good episode, it looks amazing (and strong).
BTW ... just received my 6:1 today from you and am already having a blast with it. It is so easy to use, even I make good cuts with it. Thanks for the quick turnaround time on the order, needless to say, I was extremely anxious to receive it.

That looks amazing
Really beautiful!
really nice project

Absolutely beautiful.
That was fricken beautiful work man. Absolutely beautiful.
Perfect! congratulations!
Beautiful joint
Thank you!
Wow, now that is super cool.
This video makes me happy.
great toolpark. specially the handtools. and everything so clean
Well I was impressed with last weeks and I am well impressed with weeks
Thank you T-Money!
