*UPDATE* I have been relieved of my title... A man by the name of Timothy Greenfield has only gone and beat it, thus claiming the prizes that were up for grabs. Watch his video here: ua-cam.com/video/cvI7d23N5Qs/v-deo.html
You did fantastic there..fast as F! Still, the jigs and clamp used makes the Frank K WIA 2010 footage look incredible..from hands holding nothing, to finished and hands in pocket, a 2:36 time. ua-cam.com/video/aN9l4hQ19HE/v-deo.html
I don't think that record is valid, there is too much obstruction from showing what he is doing, with this much cheating is very, very much possible. And shouldn't be accepted.
Great job, not to take anything at all away from Matt but it shows how good Rob really is that he didn’t look frantic at all while doing his and calmly talked through the process.
Yup. I don't think Matt would even disagree that Rob is a master woodworker and has been since Matt was in diapers - a lot of Rob's expertise comes with experience. Matt will get it with time as he sticks with the trade. Meanwhile, I will never be 1/10th as fast or as good as either.
Matt is kind of high energy and that is normal for him. Rob, being Canadian, is pretty laid back. I suspect if he were to try, he may be able to beat Matt’s new record.
@@davidgagnon2849 Btw, officially Canada uses Metric. I suspect that due to the abundance of tools coming from the southerly neighbour that is just more convenient to use imperial.
For anyone interested in human performance, this is a masterclass in ergonomics and ‘marginal gains’. F1 pit-stop meets dovetailing. Would’ve thought? Great job, Matt!
Yeah, okay, I'm sold. How badass would that be? "Okay guys, so next we're going to be assembling drawers!" *holds up a drawer pull. From offscreen 4 guys wearing windbreakers emblazoned with logos - Rockler, Total Boat Epoxy, Woodcraft, SkillShare... you know who you are - dash into view, converging on the hand holding the hardware like piranha. There's a cartoon-style flurry of indistinct activity, underscored by a cacophony of wood shop sounds ("Bzwhrrr! Bang! Boomboomboom!). Three seconds later a muffled "clear!" Can be heard and the quartet scatter back out of sight, once again revealing our host, drawer pull still in hand, only now a full-sized, dovetail construction drawer dangles from the handle, swinging gently from his grip. That... would... be... AWESOME! 🤣
it's because going quick is not the important point in wood working but the accuracy of your work and the fact that making stencil is cheating because it is not count inside the time
I've always felt Rob Cosman's was much more impressive than Frank's. His came out a lot cleaner and Frank's isn't a one take video. There's a cut in the middle of it.
@@avipinsky True! I like the casualness of Frank in the video, and honestly I like how he turns that cool saw to clear out waste lol. But agreed both Rob’s and Matt’s are cleaner
That's what I call a Brilliant come back Matt... It's so good to see you in an olympic shape! And as we say in France, BRAVO for your outstanding performance.
Matt, amazing content and brilliant to see you at your peak again. So much fun taking on Rob's record and a legit game changer for you tube content creators in this niche to have a crack at your record. keep going dude.
@@MattEstlea Since you play Bass, you might have heard of Davie504. He has already started instrument wars which brough a lot of success not only to him, but rather unknown UA-camrs as well. Go ahead, we will be watching!
Mate, I’ve been watching your content for a number of years now. I have to say without a doubt, this has been my favourite video. Not regarding the actual topic, but the videography in this I found striking! It was filmed and edited brilliantly! Keep up the awesome work!
Wow! Wish we had had this ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxKkYeOoCV_w2vPX0CSyVWkhew2c4FYk0d info 3 years ago! In just the last few hours our sibling boys have lowered the intensity and length of barking episodes by at least 50%! ! ! I can't wait to see the results a month from now! !
Matt - Loved it a lot. BUT I was exhausted after watching your version, and so relaxed and inspired by Rob's. PS Already have one of Rob's saws. They are fantastic.
Being that I'm actually a pretty big fan of yours (but a bigger Cosman fan, SORRY-NOT-SORRY!), please make me "hater-of-the-month" for this. To be read with all of the sarcasm imaginable: I’m really impressed that you were able to beat Rob’s time. I didn’t think it was possible, but you’ve proven me wrong. All it took was making a dozen new jigs and tool-holders, practicing day and night for weeks on end, exerting yourself to the point of breathlessness,… Compare that with all the steps Rob had to do for his videos. Produce a saw and cut a dovetail while providing clear and understandable instruction. Kudos to you Matt!!! All kidding aside, this really is pretty impressive all on its own. But Rob is still the dovetail master as far as I'm concerned. (Now I don't yet have a proper workshop setup to even attempt to beat this time, but can I get the prize for having the best comment?)
Haha! Love this! I have learned so much from both Matt and Rob, it is awesome to see two master craftsmen in some fun competition. I am an amateur furniture maker and do this for relaxation, so I’m just happy when my dovetails don’t look like they were cut by a cross eyed beaver with a chip tooth 🤣.
Have you seen Frank Klausz and his dovetail exploits? All, until recently, his joints for box structures (drawers and such) were hand cut dovetails. I believe he is know for fast, off the cuff (at woodworking shows) dovetails. Challenges accepted.
I learned so many good techniques on how to make dovetails faster and more efficiently now! I just finished my first year of carpentry school and still have two years ahead till I am officially certified to work as a carpenter. It's my absolute dream job and passion and I'm so happy to keep learning and improving my skills. Thank you for your videos, you definitely got a new viewer now!
I have just beaten your record 2 51 12. I am a French grandpa. I didn't film myself but you can believe me. it only took two hours fifty-one minutes and twelve seconds. yey long live the papi. 😜
That was AMAZING!!! Loved the content, the music, the anticipation (even though you told us that you beat the record in the title)...top notch video!! Thanks for that Matt
I know I am a few months late but I love this because of all the efficiencies you created and learned to meet the challenge. Also I feel better because the ease at which Rob worked through the dovetailing is very intimidating. Just moving at what seems like a super casual pace, teaching through the whole process was spellbinding. Congrats on beating his time, I did see you have been bested since but to me that’s not as important taking up the challenge and show us all your process in doing so. Thanks!
Well done, Matt! I understand Rob C. is already preparing a response to this video... game on! It’s Stanley Cup playoff time in Canada, and we have a dovetail competition now as well!
Wow!! Matt! I'm completely blown away! Someone have Rob Cosman do a reaction video to this! You kicked ass matt! I'm so glad I came across your channel years ago and have watched countless of your tip videos for dovetails. Thank you for sharing.
Welcome Back Matt! After the soul searching year you've had, this is the first time I've seen that spark. Whatever you are doing for yourself behind the scenes, it seems to be working. Well done!
What a fantastic video idea Matt! Really enjoyed that one, but more importantly it’s great to see you back with a huge smile on your face 😊 would love to see some attempts from the rest of the UA-cam woodworking community!
Brilliant video and challenge! It's great to see you working through really tuning your skills and getting out of your comfort zone! More of these please
Glorious! Congratulations Matt! You made a dovetail joint in the time I would be probably just laying out the lines. :) When I first saw Rob's video I was like WTF??? Mad skills.
Seeing you go through all of that just to become more efficient at something that may seem such a small part of a craft was very humbling. I loved watching you find solutions to the small problems you ran into to really streamline the process. great content.
What a clever idea. Whether they say it or not, every woodworker on UA-cam will be trying to beat this record I just hope those who fail also post their videos. Either way this will coz a little whirlwind amoung the community. Great job Rob and great idea.
Rob Cosman now needs to send you one of his planes as the rules state. Honestly those speed dovetails are better then any I have ever taken my time to make
Hat off Matthew! Hat off! You have done in under 3 minutes what would take my half an hour, and it still looks a thousand times better! Very impressive! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I loved the video, your sense of light-hearted humour, your analysis of the sub-tasks involved and your approaches for optimizing each of the five sub-tasks. Your video shows your high level of knowledge and skill. As others have pointed out, however, unlike Rob's work, your efforts in the video are somewhat frantic. The difference in the "Cabinet Grade" dovetail joints are that, despite the speed, Rob's joints are perfect every time. Your speed joints revealed some gaps that Rob's joints never have. I have no doubt that at a less frantic pace, you are likely equally capable of producing perfect-fitting joints. Great video and great challenge. A lot of fun.
i didn't think i needed or wanted this vid but i was wrong. the video editing and acting was hilarious, i could watch it on a coffee break, and honestly the speed up demystified this process for me. the long slow videos always make dovetails seem harder than they are for some reason, cool to see one corner can be done in 12 minutes for a non-mutant like me who could maybe do this at 0.25x speed
Hey mate great video just a small suggestion if you made your saw rack into a vertical box which you "throw" into a slot that's short so the handled sticks out. It would be the exact same motion as sawing machine you'll save time. Plus it won't ever fumble out of the rack and it will be held the way you hold it.
Wonderful job, Matt. I was wondering when you were going to do this. You and Rob are literally my two go to UA-cam woodworkers for educational material and reference. The rule was almost at its breaking point though, and so were you, it seems. Hahaha! :-D
Clicked, did not expect to be sucked through the whole video. How fun can dovetails really be? Great content, truly skilled with the wood and the edits
What you need to do is create a single tool that marks all lines at once. Think of a bunch of razor blades that are all mounted on a wooden block, or a rubber stamp. Just set it on top and give it a tap and it transfers all the layout lines at once. Also have a saw depth guide setup so that you can only saw exactly as deep as you need. You can saw as fast as you want and never go too deep.
This was fun and so stressful, and I was just watching! Stupid youtube has stopped bringing up your videos in my home feed even though I'm subscribed. Will have to check my subs more carefully. All power to you Matt.
I've always said you take to long to build projects, nice to see you speeding up a little bit..... Congratulations, well done and I look forward to the cascade of competition videos. I hope DiResta, Pask Makes & the Samurai Carpenter are up for the challenge.
Fantastic work, Matt! 😃 Well, the name of the game here is efficiency. That's what you gained with the "challenge". 😊 Anyway, stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Matt that was a freaking killer video! And you still have all your fingers! My record (for a lower quality joint...) is around 9 minutes, I'm going to have to give this a red hot crack, should be fun!
You say it would crush you but putting your self under pressure to beat his record help you to beat it the record, maybe pressure makes you do amazing things????
There was a woodworking program not long ago but two episodes in it got cancelled because someone pointed out that one of the guys on the show had a racist tattoo on his face
Two things: Were you using metric time? And, Rob didn’t look at all stressed. But my hat is off, and I love the challenge. My money is on Frank Krause for the win! 👍🏼
He didn’t look as stressed or have to use any specialty jigs simply design for speed and an exact dimension of work piece. His were cut much more how one might cut them if they were just making dovetails for a project. Props to Matt, he will definitely benefit from all the practice he put into this; but Rob is obviously the pro...
@@andrewpinson1268, yes, I remember a video where he outpaced his competitor by so much, that just to rub it in he put his hands into his pockets while the feller was still struggling.
Just finished my first dovetails yesterday. Took me the best part of 2 days :-) hahaha. Great video, Matt! Hats off to you! Also in terms of editing and flow of the video. Love it!
Try this one: In the "good old days" a german cabinet maker apprentice had to build a complete drawer using dovetails in less than 1 hour using only hand tools.
*UPDATE*
I have been relieved of my title...
A man by the name of Timothy Greenfield has only gone and beat it, thus claiming the prizes that were up for grabs.

Hey mate great video just a small suggestion if you made your saw rack into a vertical box which you "throw" into a slot that's short so the handled sticks out. It would be the exact same motion as sawing machine you'll save time. Plus it won't ever fumble out of the rack and it will be held the way you hold it.

What you need to do is create a single tool that marks all lines at once. Think of a bunch of razor blades that are all mounted on a wooden block, or a rubber stamp.

@@andrewpinson1268, yes, I remember a video where he outpaced his competitor by so much, that just to rub it in he put his hands into his pockets while the feller was still struggling.
Just finished my first dovetails yesterday. Took me the best part of 2 days :-) hahaha. Great video, Matt! Hats off to you! Also in terms of editing and flow of the video. Love it!
Gotta start somewhere. 2 Minutes next? 👀👀
My first dovetail took a day and a half. You'll most likely halve the time it takes with every attempt. Now im down to roughly 45 minutes
@@autodidacticartisan Four more attempts and you'll beat Matt!!!
This gave me such a nice chuckle this morning. Thank you.
Try this one: In the "good old days" a german cabinet maker apprentice had to build a complete drawer using dovetails in less than 1 hour using only hand tools.
Nice, but from what material? Rough saw boards or something nicer?
Yes, but you only need dovetails at the front!
Game on.
What a fun video, thanks MATT!
Great job, Matt. Gratz on this achievement.
Really good job Matt, well done!!
I love how you explained speedrun methodology so simply in this video
Such a great video/ tutorial 😁👍
