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.

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.

Sir - you are by far one of the best and most ingenious woodworker on yt. hat off yours. Greetings from germany.

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.

Great work, and I like your video technique; no unnecessary explaining when we can see what you are doing, and no annoying music. Good job!
