Anne, you are the happiest wood worker on KZread. Excellent job!

Really enjoyed watching someone work with their left hand. I rarely see that on any training videos. Thanks!

Thanks Anne. Woodcraft is an awesome place to visit. It's a one stop shop for all my woodworking needs.

Me too!! Also a great place to go to get questions answered!

Concise, clear, and thorough. You are a natural teacher.

I bought a claw footed antique dresser and cut about 1/3 of the width away to make a bathroom vanity with an antique looking vessel sink. I kept the original drawer joints on one side and copied the hand drawn and cut dovetails for the others using similar techniques you presented only the pins were very skinny with an odd angle. The result was great and looks like it was made like that 120 years ago better and cheaper than anything I could buy new. I made accessories out of the excess wood for the bathroom.

I don't understand why anyone would give you a thumbs down. Great to see another woman woodworking. I find when I cut my tail board, I set the angle of the board to my dovetail angle. That keeps my saw plumb when sawing, rather than at an angle.

You have some great methods there. I'm 64 and my eyes struggle with these jobs . When I was and engineer I had super 20/20 eyesight, and i miss it, glasses never seem to make up for it for these tasks in my case at least. These methods look helpful especially your use of a phone light. I bought furniture for our dining room some 40 years ago and we still have it. It was made by an old company in London and silly money. The dovetails are awful but it's still solid. I wonder at times given modern adhesives how much stronger a dovetail is compared to a box/finger joint. I like that marking gauge and plan to make one just like it. Thank you.

Excellent video. I never thought of a cell phone as a woodworking tool. You don't have to use dovetails for these joints. Any matching design would work. I've been thinking about using a Forstner bit and coping saw to make some oval & odd shapes. Stars or card suits would be spectacular for a small box.

Such a good tutorial

Wow. You are a real master. My handsaws never obey me. If I have to cut straight the saw goes everywhere but straight. If I have to cut to the left the saw goes right or too much left. I need more practice. Or time to practise. Or the patience to make time to practise. Thanks for sharing. You show it is possible to do. Saying that: I've seen many times running athletes 100 m in less than 10 seconds. So I know it is possible. But I can't :-) Btw: this video is much too short: I could watch hours to this fine technique of yours.

Size your chisel to the cut if you have dovetail chisels. Regular or beveled edge chisels can/will bruise the sidewalls of the tails and pins. Rigby seems to be looking around for a chew toy. Cute shirt Rigby.

I think I may have shown it in my handsaw secrets video.

You started with the interior face toward you in the vice (2:34). Later the interior face is away from you. Why the change? Start with the exterior face toward you so the position of the board does not change during all marking and cutting. I like the use of phone light to view spacing and double check of squareness before assembly.

That's an Aww-inspiring demonstration... 🙂 ... ...get it? ...cos the puppy is Aww 😍 .... ...imma go home now... 😬

I actually have both, one in the tiny house and one in the shop and I prefer the larger model because you don’t have to cut the wood down as much or stoke it as often. The shop isn’t super well insulated so it’s tough to get it too hot but the stoves are very efficient.
