I think that's the first time I've ever seen wedged dovetail........pretty cool

Josh sometime I would like to see the furniture and cabinets that you have made in their places inside the house, if this is not a violation of your privacy. Would love to see the finished house. Maybe I just haven't seen the right video yet. Enjoyed every one that I have seen. Thanks Some people have asked where you learned to do this, where did your easygoing and calm disposition come from. Well in your Q and A video I think you said you were in the Marines for 5 years. What a great way to start off. Thank you for your service, Sir.

The art of Zen woodworking. You never disappoint, Mr. Chickadee.

Dude, I could write poetry about the way you handle these tools. You just split a quarter inch plank perfectly in half with a HANDSAW. How are you so amazing at this?

Thanks buddy, lots and lots of practice and mistakes!

Just fantastic. The number of joinery techniques, planes and other tools used is amazing - real hand tool work. I've never seen the wedge dovetail before. It's a beautiful piece in it's simplicity. Thanks for posting this. Scott

thats beautiful, i also like how your cat sits there and mentally says, "YA THATS RIGHT, WORK AROUND ME.."

I really admire the patience and commitment to old world ways. I don’t know that I would be able to do things that way. Nice job👍🏼

Nice work Chickadee, you have mastered the rip saw, not many can do that! Watching a talented man using old plough and molding planes is a joy, and you do it very well! You must have had very good instruction, these skills are not learnt in “shop class” !

His ability to split those boards in half thickness is impressive. I can NOT saw that straight.

I have watched all your videos more than once. You are a terrific craftsman and I like to watch someone who is good at what they do. I think I heard you say something once.

6:38 Wood shavings rasp...great idea. I feel like a green apprentice, wide-eyed and watching in awe, as the master shares the secrets of his craft. Your demeanour makes it seem like you served a long and attentive apprenticeship. If not, your self-taught skills are superlative and you possess a fine focus and great attention to planning and detail. Great video as usual!

Your old ways never get old. Great stuff!!!

This is the first time I've watched a 15 minute KZread video and been disappointed that it was over. Also, that wedged dovetail thing is brand new information to me. Genius!

I'm rather envious of your collection of hand planes. From one woodworker to another, thank you for helping keep the traditional tools of our trade working and for others to see.

As always it's enthralling to watch you work. You have such a beautiful skill and I'm thankful that you share it with us!

Always good to see you work. Thanks for the upload.

Very nicely done and a good kitty supervisor too.

Wow! Yet another example of your considerable talent Mr.C!! Elegant simplicity.

Well done!!! I to enjoy working with the old traditional tools!

Another great project. Thanks for sharing.

Gorgeous. And therapeutic to watch the creation, as usual.

Another awesome project shared by an awesome woodworking perfectionists!

Excellent work !!!! Worthy of a master carpenter. Thank you very much.

Hi! I am German, but saw these wedged dovetails in your video for the first time. Have tried this technique on a door-frame - it worked perfectly. Thanks for showing! Georg

Cool, thanks!

Amazing and beautiful as always!

Nice! .. Having lived in Appalachia for all of my life (64 yrs.) and chasing down, and buying and selling, old antique hand made Appalachian primitive items, your skill set and crafting is up there with the very best. P.S. I hope you are able to pass on your techniques to the next generation. How sometimes I yearn for the old ways of doing things.

This video makes me feel good about life. Always a joy watching your content, thanks

Love how this turned out. Great job!

Respect, I see some people suggesting the use of power tools, they don´t get it. fine craftsmanship and talent, congrats.

Ive gotten similar comments about the cabin Im building. People telling me I should use tractors, chainsaws, etc. Im using axes, saws, chisels by choice, not because i have no other means. The hand tools I and this guy are 10x harder to get than any power tool and 100x harder to get good at.

That is awesome. Really enjoyed watching you build that

Another absolutely beautiful video, thank you for sharing Mr. Chickadee!

This is my favorite project of yours. Keep up the great work.

Beautiful work... pure and simple.

Absolutely lovely. And it was very nice of the cat to allow you to use her space to work in.....

There is just so much innovation in this build.....learned a lot. So beautiful and peaceful.

Those tools! Those skills! One of the only KZread channels I can just play and know I will not be disappointed.

Amazing job as usual. I am always on the lookout for the hand tools I see you using in your videos

What exquisite workmanship, and all of without power tools. Awesome!

Your skills are amazing!! Thanks for sharing your videos

Liked how you went with a sliding door vs hinges; keeps it simple, functional and elegant.

Wow that is beautiful, thanks for sharing.

Very nice Mr. C ! Thank you.

You truly are a master craftsmen!!!

Excellent work and technique, thank you for sharing. Love the wedge dovetail style.

Just outstanding...love your work and videography!

I’m always impressed to see the tools Mr. C has acquired. These tools all appear to be from the golden age of tool making. 1820-1920. Even some tools as late as the mid 1940’s retained the quality EXPECTED when manufactured and sold at market. The expectation was these tools ,properly used and maintained ,would perform their respective function an entire lifetime. Additionally , these tools could be maintained by the user. Only the highest quality materials and manufacturing processes where used. These practices , having been refined in the old world for perhaps a 1000 years in some cases and streamlined in the new, culminated in only the finest tools. Friends I wish we could return to these standards. Let’s leave the era of disposable goods behind and return to an era where we only purchase the highest quality goods. But only have to purchase these goods once. Granted a little more is spent up front. But ultimately it will be a better investment have realized it’s purpose for long enough to out compete it’s disposable counterpart 10, 20, even 100 times over. Can you cite an example of an item that would befit this criteria today? I would sight a great straight razor. Initial purchase for the lifetime quality level razor and maintenance kit average’s $400. Disposables refills can vary greatly. But I posit that even the cheapest would run better than $400 over a lifetime. Not to mention what did a load of bread cost 30 years ago vs today? What will $400 buy you 30 years from now?

you SIR are a CRAFTSMAN, beautiful piece and extraordinary work !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You do some beautiful work!

Perfect work. This is so much satisfying to watch... The cat is cute.

Beautiful authentic piece! Congratulations, talented Josh! 👍

A fine collection of wooden bodied planes you have Sir and as always you do excellent work with them.👍👍

Very impressive, I appreciate how well you take care of your tools. Michael

Just discovered this channel and i have to say the atmosphere transported through your videos is truly amazing. watching, or rather listening to your videos is liek asmr for me.
