Anyone who says they can't fit a square peg in a round hole isn't trying hard enough.

a masterpiece .. you are the best carpenter who works with hand tools that I have never seen in my life .. your work is amazing

Wood is to you what marble was to Michelangelo!!!! You don’t make things of wood, you sculpt them! Just magnificent! The cat approves...love it!

Wow! Working red oak with only hand tools! A manly wood worker! The new generation needs to take notice.

Too funny how your cat just sat there and watched you pound that peg in😂Great stuff Mr. C

Mr. Chickadee, there are only a couple of channels that I subscribe to that I get excited about when I see they have a new video out and yours is on top of that list! Ive actually been wondering when the heck you'd put out a new video and I see now that you've been putting in a LOT of work with this project. Bravo friend. I absolutely love your work and videos, you are definitely an inspiration to me. PLEASE keep the videos coming and if you ever want to bounce ideas or "youtube" questions off another like minded youtuber please hit me up! Till next time...

You do the species proud my friend. Please, whatever else you do; don't stop building!

Hey Mr.C! A big G'day from Australia mate! Your videos are like water during a drought! Very much needed and appreciated. Big happy's to you and yours.

LOL Charles the awesome cat has to inspect the work. He wants to make sure the work is nice and square and the joinery is tight. The sideboard meets Kitty approval. Charles has high standards. Very nice as usual, Mr. Chickadee. It's much nicer than mine from Ikea and I like the sliding doors on the bottom where mine is wide open. Someday I'll make some curtains to close off the bottom shelves.

That wedged dovetail! Never seen that before,! Best videos on KZread!

yeah, that was very interesting.

That has to be the most chilled out cat on the planet 😄 🐈

The live edge is very cool, your cat is the calmest cat in existence, if I tried hammering next to my cat he would totally freak out. Thanks

The most exciting part is no glue and no nails, that is true art of wood

Everytime I watch one of your videos I feel like I've done a workout! It's like holding your breath when someone's singing. Thanks for sharing these wonderful videos! It's inspiring!

The kitty sure likes to be involved, I like that.

A good start of the day by watching this peaceful video

A delightful piece indeed. I particularly enjoyed seeing at 16 minutes how that weathered oak was planed so clean and beautiful.

I guess someone likes Festools and jabber more than craftsmanship. They should go watch AvE's channel.

Damn, just like everyone in "your" crowd, I'm in awe! Mad conglomerate of all world's woodworking/cabinetmaking traditions over here. I need to make a dough board (with "bench hooks" & breadboards on 2 sides) for my wife & myself. I'll try to mimic at least few joints used here. Need only to choose which ones to use (serviceability in mind) :P Josh, it's a freaking masterpiece!! With Sir Charles seal of approval of course 😉.

That little cabinet is beautiful, and that is the calmest cat I think I have ever seen!

This is how a rugged simplicity looks like! You're happy man, you have I guess three cats around ))))

This is the best woodworking video I have scene this year. Just incredible.

Great demonstration of using a draw bore pin. Not sure I've ever seen it done on a spline joint but it makes perfect sense. Very well shown detail from a beautiful work.

Your products are amazing. I have never seen better carpenter.

Wow, thank you!

Love how your nosey cats watch everything you're doing! Enjoy your channel greatly. Keep'em coming.

Not sure who all is thumbing down your video, but it looks to me as though you’ve got yourself a case of what I like to call haters. Flawless work sir, cheers!

Very nice, good to see the apprentice helping.

I know of no other source for viewing such craftsmanship. As always, a real pleasure to see how rough lumber becomes a piece of furniture using only vintage and antique hand tools, no nails, screws or glue! Roy Underhill would be proud! No distracting verbiage and excellent editing!

I am new to your channel. Blown away! And at such a young age. The real deal!

The best craftsman I have ever seen,thanks

THIS is woodworking. Now that I've seen the light, you, Sir, have barely condemned me to rethink all my future projects without glue, nails and screws.

Nice..I appreciate your videos and look forward to them..I kept you on my subscribe list,,,Thought you were done with them..This has made my day...I'm well into my seventies and grew up in a time when tools were tools and the maker actually did the work. Thank you for sharing the experience.....

Notguilty Yourhonor American people have huge amount of talent and faith and courage. We are not bankrupt despite what hollywood and cnn and the dregs of the media portray. It is people that try to move onto positions of power without a clue how actually do anything that make a country look bad. Craftsmen like Mr &Mrs Chick have always been the backbone of the good things in life.

These videos inspire me, and resonate on a foundational level. Genuinely -- thank you so much for taking the time to produce them, and share your work.

You are an inspiration. If the major TV networks carried a show like yours, I would not be cancelling my Cox account next week. God blessed you with great skills.... thanks for sharing

Quit doing so good on this stuff, my wife thinks I’m lame! Ha!!

I see it but I still can't believe it. Incredible! The precision in measuring, cutting and trimming to get such a perfect fit in all the joints takes unbelievable skill and patience. Sir, that is a totally impressive job!

Гениальный мастер на все руки👍👍👍👍

That is one Beautiful piece of work! Superb job once again.

Of all I watch, and there are many, YOU are the true hand crafting master. I admire every second of every video you make and miss you when you're not there. Please make more - if not for money or fame do it for the pure joy you give to all of us..

Red oak is such a pain to work with- props for using it in the majority of this piece! And I'm also impressed by the glue free method of jointing boards. That's a new technique for me.

Wow.... beautiful craftsmanship. Very inspiring. Thanks for sharing your knowledge. Cheers, Rob from Tasmania.

Excellent.............Very soothing Thanks for posting

Love the splines in the dovetails. Great idea!

Breathtakingly beautiful. Everything. Thank you and thank you to whoever is filming your work. God has bestowed upon you multiple gifts. Thank you for expressing them so eloquently.

I didn't think quarter sawn red oak had as much character. Good to know! You left out a ton of time consuming steps. NICE JOB.

Wonderful! Love the dovetails. Thank you.

My favorite hand tool woodworking on KZread. Feels like looking in on another time. Beautiful work.

Mr. Chickadee, watching you make such a beautiful things made out of wood with manual tools is amazing! My grandfather used them too and I am pretty sure he loved his work just like you! You really know how to used those tools and the knowledge of wood and iron. I loved your video.

There are many excellent woodworking videos and channels on KZread, but I feel that this is one of the few that merits the description “outstanding” in every aspect. Thank you for sharing - I’m sure your videos are an inspiration to many.

You are such an amazing craftsman it's almost ridiculous. Love your vids!

Fantastically done.

Looks really nice, glad to see you back.

Beautiful white oak, and a beautiful build. Congratulations on your craftsmanship.Your wife is doing a great job with the camera too. About midway thru, a light showed up with it's many colors.

Great to see a new video after so long time. Excellent work, love using such old hand tools.

Wow, the grain on that red oak is luscious!!!

Thank you for sharing this work. Nicely done.

Ahhh, Ohmmm, I now have my Zen on. That is very beautiful, certainly worth the wait.

Awesome beyond words mr C. You inspire me sir. Thank you for showing these videos.

WOW! Truly an amazing piece of work. You made it look pretty effortless to put together. Only way that happens is with fine craftsmanship. Well done, sir. God, if i can only get my saw to keep on any line let alone beside one...Dreams!

The way that top was fitted ,and the joints will never be seen again perfection

Very impressed with the through wedged dovetails. Nice work.

Talented, for sure. This piece is gorgeous!

Amazing job...as always! It's a great pleasure when I see you have another video up and watching you work. Keep it up!!!

this is a true artwork and craftsmanship, mimicking the built of the Arc of Covenant.. NO NAILS NO NOISE...AWESOME!!!

Wow Beautiful, leaving the live edge on the top in front was a nice touch

None of us will ever know, but this piece seems so well made that it could last a thousand years!!

Most people who see this will not appreciate what it takes to develop the skills and to execute this project. You did a lovely thing. Kudos

Thank you Mr. Chikadee.

Very nice. Love the wafer splines to the dovetails. No glue needed there at all!!

Absolutely stunning craftsmanship!

I'm truly inspired by your craftsmanship. You're a beast!

Your work is beautiful and watching it is therapeutic.

listen to those planes sing!

Beautiful and soothing. Thank you.

Very nice! I just love how you build stuff! Thank you.

Absolutely beautiful old school work. I guess someone does make things that nowadays. You are a true artist Mr. Chickadee. GOD Bless.

Beautiful work, that piece will last many generations, such quality joinery!

Amazing craftmanship, an inspiration! I always look out for your latest videos, they are a treat, thanks!!

I loved every moment of this video! The flecks in the quarter sawn lumber look killer. It got me all pumped to go our into the shop and make something cool. Thanks for the inspiration and the awesome video!

I can just imagine seeing you in Ikea, inspecting the furniture...."that's poorly built, that's crap, that's rubbish...sod it, I'll build one myself!"

Would love to see a tour of the shop and cabin now that you guys have settled in. Also your hand tool collection! Thanks for the inspiration.

sweet...sweet,sweet.thanks Mr. C.

ABSOLUTELY AWESOME!!! GREAT JOB!!!

I really like that it is joined with no glue or anything metal. Again very nicely done.

Useable art work very well done and beautifull. Thank you for the new video.

Stunning.

The build put me in a trance, and the brushing on of the finish nearly put me to sleep This is food for the soul

Just maybe your most beautiful piece yet. I love it. It's like Christmas all over again, got a new Mr. Chickadee video this morning, and it is a full piece of furniture with no glue or metal fasteners, brilliant.

Beautiful work and an awesome soundtrack. Thank you.

Great work mr Chikade.

Amazing work as always. Watching you since 2016 from Brazil and applying your lessons to my craftsmanship since then, which is inspired most by you and Proenneke... The 93-year-old grandfather of my wife, in one of his visits to my home, being well acquainted to carpentry in his youth, was really amazed to see the joints and the way I was dealing with wood (someday I'll show you and he'll jump of his chair). People only believe in machines and I really get a heavy conscience when I go to buy wood and see the machines processing them for me somehow... My opinion is straight that a machine is the opposite of progress. Best regards and once more your work is really mind-changing.

Im both flatered and overjoyed to hear your comment! It reminds me of a famous quote by the Patreon Saint of woodworking, Mr Roy Underhill, "these are not the tools and techniques of the past, no, they are the tools and techniques of the FUTURE!" Roy has 5 books on traditional hand tool woodworking and over 30 years of his TV program "the woodwrights shop" all dedicated to traditional woodworking, if you can find them I would highly recommend. The last 10 seasons of his show are available to watch free online here www.pbs.org/woodwrightsshop/watch-on-line/watch-season-episodes/

You are having too much fun!! It kind of comes with doing things that you love to do. Beautiful work a joy to watch, thank you for Sharing.

Very beautiful, I love the joinery.

I only discovered your channel within the past week. It's amazing! Everything from the beautiful joinery work to hewing timbers, your methodical approach and attention to detail combined with the simple but high quality video production makes for a very enjoyable experience. I grew up with a father who started out in a cabinet shop but went on to frame beautiful houses in the northeast. He taught me so much, and while I moved on to an entirely different industry, woodworking (whether box making, furniture making, cabinetry, or framing and construction) always pulls me back in. It's very relaxing, and wood is such a beautiful and unique material to work with. Thank you for all your videos and everything you do to bring the craft back to life!

The best I've seen out there.

Very nice Josh!

Getting pretty festive with those suspenders Mr. Chickadee!!

Very nice build! I was looking forward to seeing another video from you. I love your original joinery, very interesting. I just built a table and was thinking of joining the two parts of the tabletop like you did. But I went a different route in the end. But I'm glad to see the concept works! Thanks for making cool videos :)

Thanks! I ended up joining it with a tongue and grove glued with 2k epoxy. I made it out of Bubinga, which is pretty oily and extremely heavy. Wood glue didn`t hold properly. That seemed the best way to go for this particular table.

I find if I do use a glue joint, I prefer to use it in concert with joinery as you described with your T&G table top. If time is no conscraint, of course as you know, joinery trumps glue, espcecially when serviceablility is in play, what joy to be able to take apart and move, or fix a piece at any time!
