That's a first for me. Never saw anyone mark their dovetails w/a saw like that. Pretty slick.

Another simple and elegant solution. Job Job Ryan. Thanks for posting the build.

Thanks man!!!

What I always appreciate about this channel is you leave the mistakes in. Thanks. Looks great. This would also work for organizing kitchen drawers obviously.

Another cool video Ryan. Thanks!

I'm glad to see your videos are doing so well. Thanks for taking the time to put them on youtube. Rick

Really like this project. The idea of purpose driven tool trays is something I might incorporate into my flow. Thanks for the inspiration

Very nicely done, bud!

Nice job Ryan,wow a rob cosman saw...must be nice! ha ha. Keep up the good work! Like the vids.

Just happened onto your youtube channel. It is great to see you do the same mistakes we all do. It is very real.

I haven't seen anything from you yet that I did not like. I have learned a lot from you so far. As you noted, your dovetails were not perfect....it's the perfect imperfections that make it handmade. I live in Texas and we have a saying at my house..."If someone gets close enough to notice a mistake AND they say something bad about it...it's okay to punch 'em between the runnin' lights". Keep up the good work and please keep showing the mistakes, it allows folks like me to learn more.

With some initial thinking you can avoid cutting holes in the dovetails for the tray slot. If you make small pins on the ends of the joint so that the tray slot is not too high up and if you make a large enough rebate on the back side of the tails, when you cut the slot it doesn't cut into the tails and goes between the pins.

It's a noble, humanizing thing to 'fess up to your goofs.

Very Cool!!

Please read till the end... "Just a shop project"? Always strive to do your best work, it will help to keep your skills sharp. Great idea, decent execution, questionable attitude toward your mistakes. You definitely show you have some skills. However, words to live by, at least they work for me, are "Good Enough is Neither." Let me explain... Good is a personal standard, Enough depicts where you are personally satisfied to stop trying to make it better. For me, Good Enough is Neither means it is neither good, nor enough. That you are happy with your end product is all that really matters. That you stated, in a round about way, that you were satisfied regardless of your mistakes tells me that you will be bothered by those imperfections and will notice them every time you look at this project. Thank you for acknowledging those "uh-oh's" as this will help others to watch out for making those same mistakes. A thinking man will take a lesson away from this project. A poor craftsman will think there is a limit to his skills and not reach for the best he can do. Even shop projects can inspire our future work. If we do our best on shop projects they can help hold us to a standard of workmanship, and make us feel inspired to do better work in the future. I know that if you didn't really care you would have just gone down to the dollar store or WalMart and bought some plastic silverware divider system. Don't sell yourself short by accepting less than you are capable of. Good luck on future projects.

+Thomas Russell Thomas, I actually do take great pride in all my projects and when I said "good enough for a shop project" that is not really what I meant. What I was trying to say is that I'm still learning hand cut dovetails and a shop project is a great place to practice and still put forth my best effort. I do really love the try and I think it looks awesome:) Thank you for your insight as it's great advice! Ryan

Thank you for not taking it harshly, it was not intended that way. And yes, despite the "brain fart" on the dado through the tails, it is still a very nice looking project.

Awesome job, Ryan. I was going to suggest adding feet in the back or route in some finger grooves on the sides but you thought of it already. Great work, sir!

From experience, 2:14 is very dangerous. Always put the piece you are paring in a vise. Even if it's inconvenient. *And this is the first time in several years of watching WW video's on KZread that I have made a safety comment... FYI. Great channel, keep it up.

Nice idea and neat tails! Btw beautiful saw handle. What kind of wood is it?

Nice video. What stood out to me were some interesting steps you took in cutting the dovetails. First after marking your tails you used your square as a guide to keep your saw perpendicular to your tail board while sawing. Then before you removed the waste from the tail board you placed it over the pin board and pulled your dovetail saw thru each kerf to mark the pin board. While marking the pins you offset to compensate for the saws kerf. Where and how did you learn your technique? Rob Cosman?

Ryan, interested in your thickness planer chip/dust stand. Don't see an old video on it (unless I missed when I looked through them). Is it standalone? Looks like the chips feed in one side and there is a filtered discharge on the opposite.

Thanks for your very quick reply! Would be a little contrast. greetings from Switzerland😄👍👊

I absolutely need one of these, I'm going to make one and make it into a drawer, so it can be stored away when I'm not using it. I want to do that for my different essential tools for different operations. thank you so much for the inspiration! also, not to be a pain, but when you were ripping the pieces on the tablesaw, you were standing to the right of the fence, in my experience there isn't as much control standing there. I'm just concerned you're sacrificing safety for a good camera angle.

What's a good way to not expose the dados? Plunge cut with a router? Any other solutions?

Yes, plunge on the router would have worked well.
