Finally!!!!!!!!!!!!! After about 30 videos from Mr. Chickadee I've watched, at 14:05, he slips and makes a mistake. He leaves his error in the video.......... shows how humble and down-to-earth he is!!! Thanks for another GREAT video. Your chisels and planes are so sharp, can't believe how well they shape wood.

In my opinion, this is the most useful KZread channel.

Mr. Chickadee and a Primitive technology to start my weekend off on, gotta love it !

GREAT comment!

I'd give my left foot for your tool collection and my right one to make furniture with you for a year or two. I'm in a wheelchair now so I don't really need them anyway...lol.

Dale, you just moved to the top of my hero list! :-) well played, Squire! Well played!

I almost had a heart attack when you tapped the wedge into the dovetail joint but as always it turned out wonderfully and your skill is always apparent. One of the best channels on KZread in my opinion.

Me too, holy cow.

Nice piece. I really appreciate your videos. While watching this nightstand being made I was looking at a Woodworkers Supply catalog in the section showing all the glues they sell. During my woodworking career gluing and screwing was the preferred technique in our "quick and dirty" scheme of making cabinets. Sometimes we got to use dados or Lamello biscuits on the higher grades of cabinets. Today I mainly use epoxy on the knife handles I make. I did use your pinning technique using an offset hole and a stainless steel pin to attach a stabilized mango handle on a Japanese gyuto blade. It really cammed the blade into the handle and makes for a monolithic knife after the epoxy sets. I like your use of the nail stained oak top.

I've grown a very strong appreciation for your aesthetic.

This is really a great woodwork with hand and hand/manual tools... No machine or modern technology 👍

Thank you very much!

Gotta love a craftsman who lets his hands & tools do all the talking! Thing of beauty

Just throw that old board in the garbage. What? hold my beer. Love the Idea of using the old barn boards with this Piece looks like it was build years ago instead of recently. plus it gives it character. One of my favorite pieces Josh. Looks great. The dove tails locking the piece together with the light pine wedges causes the contrast to look amazing.

The day will come when people look at your furniture like that of Robert Thompson in England. Look him up - the UK's Mr Chickadee. You are a very clever, quiet and patient man.

I've never seen that done with dovetails before, that's a very cool idea to make the joint without glue. Nice touch with leaving the scrub plane marks on the outside of the nightstand.

The patched trousers reminded me of a craftsman I worked with in a New England shop, who had three kids --- all got college scholarships. Came to work same time every day, walked home for lunch, boiled potatoes, wore patched clothes. He and his wife were Mormons from South Korea, and anytime anyone did anything right, he'd say, "Verry Goood ______________!" And it was a good group of people for 4 years. Verry Gooood, Mr. & Ms. Chickadee!

Those wedged dovetails on the drawer look amazing. Really nice job!

Absolutely LOVE IT!!! You are the man Mr. Chickadee. I love the devotion to hand tools, I love the simplicity, the simplicity and leaving a lot of the tool marks is what gives it so much charm and beauty! Most of us wood workers get too caught up in getting perfect surfaces, but the tool marks give it way more character. Let people who see it know it was worked by someones hands rather than just machines. But I was perplexed to see you leave those pencil marks and finished over top of them. I would have at least sanded those away!!! haha.

Beautiful work. Oak is my favorite wood.

I am partial to hedge, but oak would probably be in my top 3 favorite woods.

You must be a master of sharpening your tools they cut beautifully

Lol this dude makes a raised panel drawer bottom. I am in awe of his craftsmanship!

Love the use of wedges. I expected the end tail of your drawer sides to split with the wedges but they seemed to hold. Nice details too. Cat supervision is always important.

@MrChickadee

Thanks, its very important the joints are very tight at the bottom of both the dovetail and the wedged tenons on the top, this squeezes the wood together and prevents splitting

Personally, I think that little grey cat reads the blueprints and tells Mr. Chickadee each step.....great help! I have a bookcase that is very similar in it's construction to this.

stunning work as always

The texture from the hand plane is a nice touch. Thanks for sharing.

Watching you doing woodworking is what it must have been like watching Rembrandt paint.

Nice furniture and an amazing cat!

Mr Chic, you work is excellent of course. Your drawer pulls have the same profile on the inside as 'trunnels' used in planking a wooden ship. Look for a 19th century schooner recently extracted from a remote beach in New Zealand named Daring. She went aground in 1866 and hull and framing is remarkably well preserved. As they were just starting to get her into a preservation area where she can be kept under spray one of the crew took a picture of a particular plank. The joint is solid after all those years.

The wedged dovetails did it for me! They look so beautiful and still provide strength and longevity. By far my favorite video because it's cabinetmaking

Wow,what a beautiful piece ; your skill,patience and craftsmanship never cease to entertain and impress :)

Nice shop cat, reminds me of one of my grandmother's barn cats.

A pleasure to see Your work. My mothers father was a furniture carpenter and I grew up in his working hut!

As time goes, the wood gets nicer, very pleased with the way you reuse old wood

I love the lack of fasteners and glue. The finished product seems so clean, so pure. Beautiful piece of furniture, thanks for another great video!

I'm still stoked about those wedged dovetails. Look great and structural as well. Very good work! Looking forward to more.

And that bit of furniture right there will outlast all of us...

Man i just love these videos, just because everything is made by hand it looks really great. Thank you for the great content and keep up the great work Mr. Chickadee.

You are the Norm Abrams of hand tools! Great work!

Have just started preparing wood for two bedroom night stands/tables. Will be GLUED to this...cheers...rr

Great, great video, good sir! A definite change from what I'm used to. No annoying background music to distract from the sounds of a woodshop and a woodworker doing his thing. It was very enjoyable and not ashamed to say, very calming. Keep up the great work. I look forward to more and will go through your video library. Oh...and I subscribed. Thank you for the videos.

Mr. Chickadee, Good bravo, bravo 10+ Ciao.

Charming piece of furniture.

Thanks Josh, this design never gets old 👍👍. So simple and will withstand a couple lifetimes and maybe more. 👍👍👏🏻👏🏻

Wedged dovetails, so cool!

Excellent, as always.

AWESOME....FREAKING INCREDIBLE!! To say the least...best woodworking craftsman I've seen!

Absolutely beautiful! I love the "no nails" joinery!

Stickley would be proud of you!

I like the wedged dovetail with the light colored wedge.

First thing I did was skip almost to the end. I always like to see whats being made , and then watch how someone did it. Very nice work.

Crazy good with a coping saw

Beautiful. Not everything has to be precise to have beauty. Love that top out of recycled timber.

Your craftsmanship gets better and better every video!!! WOW!! Thank you for the inspiration to get my butt out in the shop.

Wedge all the things.

No amount of noise will stop Charles from lounging.

Another great video thanks for sharing

This is incredible! Best craftsmanship I’ve seen on KZread ! Especially those joints without glue! I really enjoyed this, thank you!

The master carpenter at work again, great build.

You, sir, have yourself a new subscriber! The workmanship you put into all these pieces you make is absolutely astounding; I think God himself might be a tad jealous.

Simply amazing!

The first and only dovetail I have attempted split and chipped out and turned into a pile of boards. This video makes me cry.

Mr. Chickadee, I only recently discovered your channel and I'm thoroughly hooked! Your timber framing series is outstanding and I've watched them all several times. Thank you for sharing your enormous talent!

Such an artist you are👍❣️

That piece is not only impressive but beautiful too. Awesome job !

I really like the wedged dovetails! I've never seen that before, but I'm going to have to try that myself. Great video as always.

Absolutely beautiful, as always. Thank you for leaving in the "saw slip". It makes me feel a little better that if a master like you can have a boo-boo in his woodworking, I am not so bad when it happens to me too. I absolutely love the wedged dovetails, no need for glue with any of your joinery on this magnificent piece of furniture. Oh, and I love that the ends match the style of your bookcase a few videos back.

Beautiful, love the joinery work.

I feel like I'm at the Williamsburg woodworking shop---I can almost smell the wood fragments as they are planed out! Your work is so exceptionally meticulous and completed with such care. Alright now, with that wonderful nightstand that you now have made, I shall wait for the birth of a complementary wishing well table lamp. Best wishes and thoroughly enjoy watching your videos.

Once again....stunning!

I am watching this again and it is 2020 already !

14:03 I flinched and audibly moaned.

Always a pleasure to watch you at work

Another great piece of wonderful craftsmanship and beautiful furniture that will last a century! Put a little saw cut in the other three corners of the drawer face and it will look like part of the design (that's what I do - haha). I also put my finish on heavy and wipe with a cloth to smooth out the drips. Might you have the time, in a future video, to slip in how you sharpen your chisels and planes? They are amazingly sharp as seen when you cut crossgrain so smoothly! The cat seems to like seeing itself in the camera viewer - haha.

That's the first time I've ever seen a wedged dovetail. Looks really nice.

The definition of rustic. It's amazing.

Bravo. Superb skill and honesty in the finish of this piece. I felt the pure joy of 'making' in this video

It is tremendous! I give a standing ovation!

A pleasure to watch! Thank you.

Randy Henson Nothing wrong with mixing wood. The contrast looks great and the reclaimed old growth oak is better saved for parts of projects that are more visible than the shelves. On this one the shelves match all of the wedges.
