I've got all of the Lie Nielson saws, and the Veritas saws, and I've got 12 Japanese saws including the one you're using to cut those dovetails with. That is my go to saw to cut half blind dovetails with. I've also cut many through dovetails with that saw. If you're having problems with the Katz-Moses dovetail jig slipping with you, cut some 350 grit sand paper to fit the legs on it and use some contact glue to hold the paper to the legs. I have to use the jig now because of a permanent injury to my right hand. Thanks for sharing your video.

Nice joint! When you're removing wood from the front piece (creating the negative space for the tails to sit), it's easier to remove the bulk of wood by using your chisel parallel to the grain of the wood (the tip of the chisel goes between fibers and the wood is weaker in this dimension) after using the chisel to cut through the fibers along the knife line. The way you did it required you to cut across the wood fibers numerous times which takes more physical effort and also dulls your chisel faster.

Its not bad with a router and a dovetail jig. Once you have that setup it's pretty cut and dried to do then. Just takes a lot of test cuts to set it up.

I agree, doing it by hand at least, really drags out your project. I only do it for the fancy stuff. Also, they’re kinda fun to do too 😄

Great job! I enjoyed that. What chisels are you using?

I watched entire video. But I’d still rather do this with jigs and power tools, even though I’ve never made a dovetail joint.

It wasn’t a “lesson”. Not one word was spoken the whole time, he just did the work and it fit together perfectly. How is he an amateur and how does this make people ignorant? You should pull that stick out of your rectum.

Nice work Josh. The Latin root of the word "amateur" is amor, someone who pursues a pastime out of their love of it. I'm curious Estudio Hayabusa, do you troll professionally or practice because you're passionate about it?
