I have to say, after having attempted my first finger joints by hand today (just chisels and a hack saw) never having tried dovetails of finger joints before by hand - I take my hat off to you for your incredible skill!!! Incredible workmanship fella!!! Yeah I've ordered a proper dovetail saw to keep practicing. I would love to see you make a vid of a finger joint with just a saw and chisel no coping saw, I can't find such a vid on youtube :/

ben celiz hey Ben! Thank you and congrats on taking the hand cut plunge. Removing the waste with the chisel is common but I find it slower. If you watch any dovetailing videos where they chop the waste out, the process for finger joints would be exactly the same.

I saw a TV program about antiques and the host explained that the place of manufacture can be determined or narrowed somewhat by the style in which the drawer dovetails are made. One area makes them like you do in this video and another area makes the pins & tails about the same size. And then there were variations inbetween.

I think you understate some of the advantages of rabbet the inside of the tailboard. Specifically on the inside corners of a drawer, the line of the inside tailboard drops below the depth of the sockets on the pinboard. This creates a conjuncture of two straight lines that hide any variation along the inside of the pinboard.

Hi Matt, Love your videos on fine woodworking as well as your "adventures" wrestling with logs the size of the State of Iowa! Since your video on cutting dovetails was particularly useful to me, I wondered whether you could consider taking us all with you to the next level: cutting dovetails on curved drawer fronts? (Mostly I find videos on ways to "cheat"..ie: cutting the dovetails on straight stock and then bandsawing the curve out, etc...but not much on cutting dovetails on stock with a smooth curve that meets the drawer front)..Thanks!

It looks so easy. If the back draw is smaller that the front drawer, how do you check the "squareness" of your draw when you glue all together? If the front angles are lower than 90 it's OK but if one front angle is greater than 90, your drawer won't fit. Thanks for the sharing.
@mcremona

***** When I glue it up, I don't check it for square. I apply the glue, put the drawer into the opening and adjust it so it's perfectly fit for the case. The case itself might not be square so this allow me to match the squareness of the drawer to the squareness of the case. Thanks!

+Gregory Yiokkas Attempting to dovetail soft wood is an exercise in extreme patience. Especially if the stock is thin. Pallet wood is probably not suitable, unless it's hardwood. I can complete a handwork only dovetailed box in about two hours (not counting milling). Recently tried some small boxes, in 3/8" pine. I was working on them for two days. The one that I actually finished looked not so good. But, it taught me a number of things.

@mcremona
9 жыл бұрын
***** Hey Jorge! I orient the drawer bottom so it expands and contracts front to back. The drawer bottom is allowed to float out the back. There are two ways to attach the bottom. You can either apply glue just to the front or you can put a screw or nail through and elongated hole in the bottom into the back. In both cases, the movement is sent to the back of the drawer.

Nice Work Matt! I will have to try that. I usually make these with a dove tail jig. I have a Porter Cable half blind one and a Leigh DR4 that I have used for making large boxes. But it seems like the time spent to set up a jig on a small drawer like the one you made in this video you could have it done by hand. I tried my hand at compound dovetails where you are forced to do them by hand. They are very tricky but I wish I had seen this video first before I attempted those. It would have helped. What tools both marking gages and marking aids did you use there?

1crazynordlander I have the big PC omijig that I haven't used in a few years. I just enjoy the process of cutting them by hands. I's rather be doing that than setting up a jig and running a router. I did a video on the marking tools here: kzitem.info/news/bejne/xnqnzXxtk5WepKg Probably more info in that video than I could give you in a comment :)

Great video Matt I learned a lot from this one. You are a good teacher. Do you always use such a large hammer on your dovetails? There is a guy named Dema who has some "stubby" hammers and he might SELL you one. lol I always enjoy your videos. God Bless my friend.

What is the black angle iron that you traced onto your work piece? and where do I find one? Great video!
Go look at Veritas . They offer some of the best tools. They will have different types of dovetail markers . They have a huge amount of woodworking tools.

Matt I have been looking for some good paring chisels.. Do you find that the round back chisels fit the bill for most all paring jobs ?

Ross Hastings Yes I love them. Any operation where you don't need to use a mallet, they are the best. (In my opinion)
