Unplugged! A Hand Tools Only Project. Milling, Joinery, Dovetailed Drawers. With Tips for Beginners.
I wanted to give some of the tools in the cabinet a chance to earn their rent so I made this small shelving unit with two dovetailed drawers. A lot of work for a tiny project but a lot of fun and satisfaction along the way!

    Well done, sir. I like the extended rabbet to hold the lid. One potential opportunity I noted was that there isn't room for the bottom to expand. It's a small box, so the expansion and contraction of the bottom will be slight, but the natural wood movement may need to be accounted for. I greatly appreciate the time and energy invested in the video aspect also. That can be such a time suck. Top notch work all around, sir!

      Thanks for the nice words! With the bottom panel being nice straight grained material and also less than 2” wide, I wasn’t concerned with movement. But like you said, on a larger piece it would certainly need to be accounted for. I appreciate you watching!

      Hi. I also use them to clean any slight surface rust on hand planes. Look up “Sandflex Hand Block” on Amazon. “Medium” cleans things very well. Then I follow up with the “fine” to match the factory finish. Thanks for watching. They also sell a “coarse” but I’ve never needed that one.

      Thanks John. I’m always trying to find that delicate balance between playing some music in the background to keep things a little lively without it being a distraction! I appreciate your input. The edge plane, I believe is only 3/4” wide, so anything wider would go to the shooting board. And it’s really great on parts longer than 16 or 18” when they can get unwieldy on the shooting board. Thanks again for tuning in!

    Thank you for this tool tour. I would guess that there are many who have gone the same route as you and me, buying hand tools then migrating to more power tools. I wouldn't want to change this progression though, learning to sharpen plane blades when doing all your processing of rough wood has been essential, now we can get a razor edge on our smoothing plane to use after weve used a power jointer and planer. I can also sharpen a hand saw as needed. But I too find that a few power tools replace MANY hand tools. Great channel, very low pressure, love of the craft on display!

      We seem to be on the same page. I recently put out a hands-tool only video and while the small project was fun to make, I couldn’t help thinking how tedious making a dresser would be using only hand-tools. The mix of both power and hand tools really maximizes my enjoyment of the hobby.
