That seems like a really useful thing to make. My dad and me are not real big woodworkers. We had to build a bed once and even though a bed has only 4 corners it was a big trial and error situation making those joints by hand. We had to make another trip to the lumber yard =) But 5 years later the bed is still upright so I guess we didn't do such a bad job.
A genius at work. never fail to amaze me. I have watched many of your videos and notice that some are criticised re wood movement. Do these people not realise that you are trying to help people who can't justify expenditure for hobby purposes and maybe don't need the precise finish to make fine furniture.These people are pro's and maybe can justify the money layout. Well they should just do that and let us mere mortals follow your ideas. Keep it up
Arek Kosinski I get so annoyed when these people criticise. I think they are enveouus of people like Mathias ,Izzy, Jay and many others. I wish these people would make videos to show what they can do, I am a wheelchair woodworker and since I retired have learned so much from these videos. Had to modify some things because it is different from a wheelchair but I get things done. Built my own table saw and put a lifting router in one of the wings. But I really enjoy it. Sorry to waffle on.
Barry Norman I agree with what you are saying. And props for woodworking regardless of your situation. Woodworking is fun and as such should be treated and not with stupid envious comments. Enjoy your day sir!
Arek Kosinski Brothers in arms. Apreciating those with skills sharing with us to help us get more enjoyment from one of the oldest trades in history. I only wish |i had half the ability and these guys have. Love the content. I had to retire early from work. I am a wheelchair user so have to do things a little differently than able bodied woodworkers but I get there and love it. Thanks Arek for your kind wishes,\
you make good points, especially on the larger sized joints. simple router jigs are pretty easy to make, so that was where i was coming from. sorry for all lower case, i messed up one shoulder.
Definitely more complex and more jigs to it, but it's more precise, and onece it's set up, faster too. Cutting the pins on the bandsaw is a real bother.
Instead of using the drill press with a drill and a chisel to make the slots, have you tried putting a router bit in the drill press and using it with a guide fence as a "poor man's" slot maker? How much play does a typical drill chuck have if you try to put sideways pressure on it?
Love your videos, quick question. When you put one screw in and use the rest of the holes for marking where holes need to be (8:38), why not put once screw in and use a drill bit and driver to finish the rest without needing to take it apart again? Thanks.
You will need to adjust the screw stops for each of the three holes that space the backing board out from the base. Do you find there is enough variance to justify making different removable stops for each hole, or is it faster to simply reset the screws?
I mean, your Jig allows you to cut two of the sides of your dovetail joint. But there is a Third to cut as well. Are you just using a bandsaw for that?
K-mart. You can get them on sale for only $9.99 when they have their Spring sales. They're hard to install though. Your local car mechanic should have the tools to do it right though.
Do you find that ideas for a design evolve much faster when you are actually making a device (or object) than they did during the thinking time that proceeds it? It's almost as if the materials are trying to tell you - "No man! that is not a good approach. Try this instead."
Have you condsidered using an indexing device with your wooden gears to space the pins and tails? (I was thinking of something like your box joint jig)
Hi I love all the videos you have and are doing. This sounds really funny of me to asked but I really like that wooden mallet. How did you make it because I have metal hammers and would rather make and use something wood friendly lol.
You can get one as good as Matthias is using for less than $300 any day on Craigslist. I got one for $150. And, if I want to build a jig, I can use my $150 table saw to save a fortune on router bits and jigs to use a router. Try using a router without a jig or make a router jig without a table saw.
This system seems a bit more complicated than your method of creating dovetails on the bandsaw. I prefer using that method, however, I do appreciate the engineering that you put into all of your creations.

You never have to use your brain if you're always willing to buy a new router bit and jig. Matthias shows you how you can use your brain instead of your wallet. Even if you have a big wallet, sometimes it’s nice to see someone using his brain.
I love your jigs and everything but they seem a bit overcomplicated for a newbie woodworker. Maybe a newbie shouldn't be attempting such complicated things?

Very well said Barry and thanks Matthians for sharing your great ideas with us.

Barry Norman has always happened
Exactly what I was just thinking. I have been looking at the fancy jigs and they are EXPENSIVE! This is just the thing for me. thanks again Matthias.
you make good points, especially on the larger sized joints. simple router jigs are pretty easy to make, so that was where i was coming from. sorry for all lower case, i messed up one shoulder.
A lot more flexibility, and you can make bigger joints. And not everybody has a router dovetail jig. The fancy adjustable jigs are quite expensive.
depends on the joint. Usually at least 40 minutes. But sometimes if it's a parallel grain joint, and I'm impatient, just five minutes.
If there would be ever an oscar of youtube you would get my vote, great stuff mats.
Definitely more complex and more jigs to it, but it's more precise, and onece it's set up, faster too. Cutting the pins on the bandsaw is a real bother.
because not all dovetails can be cut with a router. More in the linked articles.
I show all the cuts in the video. I'm not sure what cut you are referring to.
es muy bueno tu proyecto, lo realice y me a ahorrado mucho trabajo en lo que respecta ensambles , gracias ingeniero Matthias
It's a block of wood, with another piece of wood going through it. Really very little to it.
Instead of using the drill press with a drill and a chisel to make the slots, have you tried putting a router bit in the drill press and using it with a guide fence as a "poor man's" slot maker? How much play does a typical drill chuck have if you try to put sideways pressure on it?

I like your systematic demonstrations. Are the plans available at your web site
I tip my hat to you sir. Very well thought out!
Excelente Matthias!, gracias por compartir tanto conocimiento. Es un privilegio aprender al lado suyo. Saludo cordial.
Nice demonstration.
How do you make the third cut at the back of the dovetails?
I mean, your Jig allows you to cut two of the sides of your dovetail joint. But there is a Third to cut as well. Are you just using a bandsaw for that?
GRACIAS POR SUS VIDEOS. SON MUY INSTRUCTIVOS Y LOS HEMOS SABIDO APROVECHAR LLEVANDO ACABO SUS PROYECTOS.
Fantastic job.
K-mart. You can get them on sale for only $9.99 when they have their Spring sales. They're hard to install though. Your local car mechanic should have the tools to do it right though.
J' aime beaucoup et j'ai hâte au produit final.
hey Matthias, great work.
One question can you tell me what's the size (square footage) of your shop?
Thanks
Do you find that ideas for a design evolve much faster when you are actually making a device (or object) than they did during the thinking time that proceeds it?

Hi I love all the videos you have and are doing. This sounds really funny of me to asked but I really like that wooden mallet. How did you make it because I have metal hammers and would rather make and use something wood friendly lol.
Looks like the Back-Plate could be an mirror image, rotated around 180'.
Matthias, you come up w/ great ideas but I don't see why anyone would want to make dovetails on a tablesaw when a router works so well.
love the miniture saw
btw do you wear saftey glasses? if so what brand do you use and any tips on getting the best ones?
Watch the video.
How long do you usually wait for the glued parts to dry?
Brilliant young man
You can get one as good as Matthias is using for less than $300 any day on Craigslist. I got one for $150. And, if I want to build a jig, I can use my $150 table saw to save a fortune on router bits and jigs to use a router. Try using a router without a jig or make a router jig without a table saw.
That would work better just using a drill bit to clean the areas between the holes. Router bits are designed for much faster speed than a drill press.
They have Dovetail Router Bits.
Some great information in your video.
Thanks
wow just amazing!!!is there any other way to make joints?and no not the ones you smoke lol
I am a professional woodworker. Great Clip! What drawing program do you use to create your drawn plans?
This system seems a bit more complicated than your method of creating dovetails on the bandsaw. I prefer using that method, however, I do appreciate the engineering that you put into all of your creations.

Yes.
Impressive!
what kind of plywood do you use for your builds? :)
Hello, I Might facilitate the plans?
What designing software do your use?
It's crooked?
you are a genius !!!!
Totally agree!
Do you really make enough dovetails to justify building the jigs?
I could do that , but then I will have a bunch of sawdust wedged in there.
How do you do the templates?
Electric overhead garage door problems
i need to buy some tools,i already have a mitre saw ,now i need a table saw and band saw but like i sdaid my wife freaks out cause of all the wood dust so i need to come up with a system that elemenates that problem
You never have to use your brain if you're always willing to buy a new router bit and jig. Matthias shows you how you can use your brain instead of your wallet.
Even if you have a big wallet, sometimes it’s nice to see someone using his brain.
muito bom ! 10

Молодец!!!
Yes i like
I love your jigs and everything but they seem a bit overcomplicated for a newbie woodworker. Maybe a newbie shouldn't be attempting such complicated things?
Love your videos why not just cut the dovetails with a router? Wouldn't they be a simpler jig.
can anyone help me before she kills me lol about the wood dust
Nice use of brain. Where can I get a good brain?
