    I think he agreed dovetails are really nice, but said you shouldn't focus on them as a beginner. For me I love the look of nice hand cut dovetails so I DID start with that. It is very frustrating at first but when you get it. It feels like I can cut any joint by hand now. On the other side I could've gotten to frustrated and just quit altogether. As he said other joints are used more frequently or are just better to first do. Then go onto dovetails.

    Learning all available joints and eventually using them in projects. Gaining confidence and skill. Using dovetails when appropriate. Projects that you want to build to look a certain way or have specific requirements. The point being, when dovetails are the preferred option, do not be afraid of cutting them.

    i comment above that I use them also, but pretty much only hand cut now. MOST of the time I use dowels. Yes, hand cut dovetails are a beautiful sign of craftsmanship. Back 100 years ago, folks could cut the quickly. Rob Crossman, can cut them quickly and others too, but most of us can't. I've cut a fair amount but I'm not anywhere near as good as Rob. So what. I still can make some beautiful pieces. Making art is wonderful for the soul.

    Having been trained as a cabinetmaker and educated as an industrial arts teacher with over 40 years in the field, I would have to disagree with some of your advice. Mechanical fasteners have their place in woodworking, primarily attaching hardware and holding things together while glue dries - not in face frames doors and drawers. In these situations, particularly if objects move (i.e. doors and drawers) mechanical fasteners eventually work loose. Even on face frames, I have gone back on jobs done by others where cabinet face frames have failed because the fasteners in the pocket joints have worked loose AND the glue has failed with the butt to edge joint.

    I've been an amateur woodworker all my life and I completely agree with you. There can be a fine line between nice joinery and crappy carpentry but what's shown here is on the side of crappy carpentry. Dovetails and mortise and tenon joints have been around for millennia for a reason. They work! You're better off if you learn how to do them and if you prefer the machine approach, acquire the equipment you need. For me, I'll stick with my assortment of antique bench planes and chisels to get the job done, but each to his own.

    From an old boat carpenter's point of view you did a good job at explaining the basics. When structure is the most important thing we use glued and screwed corner posts. Gluing and screwing compliment each other. Screws have clamping power, but shear can make them wobble loose. Glue doesn't shear easily but have a limit in tension. Together they form a very good joint. BTW, "water resistant" glues shouldn't be used on a boat, Epoxies and Resorcinol are the only acceptable choices as far as I know. Corner posts give far greater glue area and screws don't have to be held by end grain. Other joints can be used in places not subject to joint movement. Mitres have a problem in a marine environment where changes in moisture make the outside of the joint open up, leaving a birdsmouth.

    I find that a major consideration when choosing what type of joint to use is what is easiest to glue, clamp and assemble. Especially when you have many pieces that need to be glued at the same time. Some types of joints will by themselves help to align and pull the pieces together. Also, the glue, screw, unscrew then plug method can work well for pieces that are difficult to clamp.

    Thank you for an excellent teaching video. In Australia, where I have been teaching high school Industrial Arts (your comparison would be wood shop, metal shop, etc…) I taught Year 10 woodwork students how to hand cut Dovetail joints that they must include at least once in a project. Not to have them become master craftsmen, but to show them what is possible. Most never want to do them again, but some loved the challenge and the ensuing sense of accomplishment. If a 16 yr old kid can do it many of your viewers would be able to. May be another video idea for those that wish to try. FYI, dado and rabbit joints don’t exist outside the USA that I know of. As you said a dado is a trench so everyone else calls it a …… trench! Which is across the grain, rebate on an edge and a groove along the grain. One point you could emphasise is extra support from shoulders - not just glue area in dovetails, M&T, even housing joints. It’s not just greater glue area. Finally, are you likely to consider a marking knife? They go a long way to showing off perfect joinery. Once more thanks for the great teaching video. Even after 40 years in the classroom/workshop, I’m still learning. Lloyd

    One point to keep in mind when using a table saw to cut joints such as dados and lap joints is that most blades have teeth that leave a U or V shape perpendicular to the direction of the cut. To prevent this use a blade with a flat top grind (FTG) tooth profile.

    I've noticed this when I've cut dados, it leaves material I had to chisel out. I think dado stacks solve for it, but a pain to set up. Where do you get FTG blades? I don't think I've seen them in HD or Lowe's since they seem more specific to woodworking, but maybe I missed them.

    Nice information for the new woodworker. Your lack of master shows in your conclusions that are based on some else’s tests and not your own experience over time. It’s true modern glues are stronger than old ones, however a mechanical joint will always be stronger long term than a glued one. I use to believe what you do but age and experience has shown me otherwise. I do wish videos such as this were around when I was starting out decades ago as it would have shortened my learning curve. It’s refreshing to see a younger generation taking up woodworking. Best of luck with the channel!

    I made a box recently. I wanted to do mitre joins but on the first attempt I had exactly the problem in the video, despite measuring and stacking opposite sides before cutting. So I gave up on that and did butt joins using dowels. I didn't think of making a jig until after I had finished it, but it worked anyway.

    My great grandfather made a set of drawers to fit in a narrow space. The drawer fronts (mahogany) were set in rabbets. And then glued and 3 slim brass nails secured the sides to the front, I'd guess to clamp them as the glue set. One drawer was missing, and I was able to replicate it pretty well re the wood and found some brass nails that looked similar. The drawers he made, well over 100 years ago, were still solid. I also have some drawers he made in oak drawer fronts with dovetails. They did not hold up as well, despite that the drawer cabinet likely got more use. I also repaired the oak piece, though not the dovetails.

    I prefer the stopped cut on the table saw for miter splines because the groove it leaves is concave/hollow along its length rather than flat like with a sled jig. Since I don't own a flat tooth table saw blade, the groove ends up with a slight 'V' that is unsightly and needs to be cleaned up with a chisel. The flat grooves need to be cleaned up along the entire length to seat the spline and achieve a seamless look, but the hollow groove only needs to be cleaned up on the ends--much quicker and almost foolproof. Small detail, but I haven't heard it mentioned before.

    This was a great video with a great explanation of wood structure along with the possible joints for any project. My first rule about making is there really aren't any rules except what you want to follow in your own shop. Getting everyone to agree on the same standard practice would keep us arguing for a century. Tips are just experienced advice that you can take or leave.

    Patrick Sullivan made a video showing that end grain to end grain is stronger than edge grain to edge grain, but the point of the cellulose fibers being stronger than the glue still stands. If you're gluing two pieces of endgrain together, I would definitely still reinforce it. Edge grain to edge grain glue-ups are still pretty strong, stronger than the natural lignin, so I will definitely continue using edge grain to edge grain and edge grain to end grain glue-ups in my work.

    Yeah I think the big issue people missed in that video is that the wood failed in the edge to edge. So it’s not an apples to apples that one joint is “stronger” it somewhat confirmed what we already know, glue is stronger than lignin. But people still lost their minds over it

Glad to hear that dovetails are weaker than other joints lol, Wasn’t keen on buying extra jigs etc to make them. $$$. Difference of dado and groove was new and adding the round spline was cool. Have not tried laps yet, and setting the blade height is great to know. Kerf tool? Okay, I need one. I hate figuring kerf for cuts. Yes, I am following u now!
