Awesome video. I like these two. Talking just shop, no endorsing products, no afilliate links, no self promotion, no hours of talking, videos are short and concise. Rare and awesome. And of course, no measurements in thumbs, soles and elbows.
Hello, I had been looking for a video on how to do a dovetail on a milling table and I finally found it, wonderful job, thanks for sharing your knowledge, successes! Greetings from Guatemala
I really like the sled for your table saw, could you do a video giving some detail on it. And great video, one of the few that actually explains the measurements of the spacer pieces.
great video ! this man has great skills and a lot selfmade jigs and machines. a real good woodworker. I guess it doesn't take long time and this channel has a lot subscribers and fans
Man I wish I could work with this guy for awhile , he has the best ways to make dove tail joints , all the other videos I see you need to spend a lot of money on jigs and than you need a class on how to use it
Just like your box joint technique! Where did you learn this method of using spacer blocks on the fence? Why doesn't every one know this? I can't believe how simple and awesome this is 🧠💥! Thanks for sharing!!
The reason I don't use this method is because I don't have a planer or table saw, and getting these spacers to a very precise and consistent dimension (needs to be a multiple of the bit width) takes a lot of work with a hand plane or sanding. I basically do the same procedure, but I move the fence of my router table using calipers to measure the new distance. This method with the spacers is far more accurate though as my joints always need some extra chisel work to get a good fit. If you can get some lumber and router bits that match exactly, then you can skip the planer and still use this method for perfect results. Or you can invest the time in making good spacers out of some hardwood, mark them with the router bit they match, and just re-use them for all joinery going forwards to increase your ROI - I just haven't gotten around to doing that.
@@moti.g yeah... a tablesaw is probably a necessity... but I picked up a small hobby one up in Lidls for €120 I think it was and it does a reasonable job for the price... at least until I can afford a "real" tablesaw... His tablesaw looks homemade too, like the router table (I made one, easy peasy) so its really not THAT expensive. There are even youtube vids of people making tablesaws from ordinary circular saws... I subbed & liked when I saw his box-joint vid, never heard of his channel before, short & to-the-point videos that leave you with a little brainwork to do yourself, I like it that way instead of being spoon-fed every little detail and nuance of a project/method... 😎👍☘🍺
@@peterfitzpatrick7032 it's not the budget that's the issue... its that my workshop is a 2.6 by 3 meter bedroom in an apartment building that also functions as my office and storage for everything (wood, tools, hardware, cameras, random bits and bobs) a table saw of any size would just about leave enough space for 1 cockroach to move around, if its skinny.
@@moti.g that sounds awful... I have an 800 sq. Ft. workshop and STILL could use more space ! 🙄😂😂 I do woodworking / engineering (metal machining & fabrication/welding etc.) and I have a small spray booth set up. I live in a rural area (west coast of Ireland) & my bungalow is on 3 acres of land, the nearest neighbour is 300yards away.. 😎👍☘🍺
I like dovetail joints, however, if I was even the slightest bit handy I think box joints would be good enough for me. Maybe making the boxjoints blind like you've done with these dovetails would be an interesting joint. Newly subscribed as well .....
Thanks for sharing. It's great. Only one imperfection of the joint, there is a bit too much cut off by the router inner side of the dovetail. But anyway, this is great and easy!
Very cool. I'll be trying this one out! From your diagram on the spacer width, it wasn't clear what part of the bit you are using to get that dimension. Was it from the largest part of the dovetail bit or something else? Also, is the smaller spacer piece exactly half the size of the larger spacers?
The bit is measured form between the top and the table surface. In our case we measured from the middle. And yes the smaller spacer is exactly half the size of the larger spacer.
Thanks for video. One question..why don't you have a Stop-block? Or other way..how do you know that all "Grooves" are equal deep on the horizontal plate?
I thought the same... Is there a pencil-mark on the table perhaps ? Maybe he's just got a good eye for it, remember too... if he goes a bit deeper it wont show anyways because of the joint "overlap" ... great little vid tho... 😎👍☘🍺
When he says "We have one smaller piece to offset the position of the joint", is the width of the smaller piece the width of the bit (ie: half of the width of the guide pieces?
Thanks for demonstrating, it looks an excellent solution. I read Charlie Morss’ question and your answer and I’m not sure if I understand the answer. The dimension I am not sure about is the 22mm you calculated for the spacer width, does this come from the widest part of the dovetail bit or something else? Thanks
The measurement is not taken from the widest part of the bit, or the thinnest. But from in between. Then it is doubled to get the final width of the spacer.
I may be a 'bit thick' but I can't quite work out where all the dimensions came from for creating the joint, maybe someone can do a drawing showing where the sizes come from? Also, from what I can gather, if you attempt to take a dimension half way up the dovetail (But from in between) that exact measurement is very awkward to obtain unless you're 'spot on'. A diagram showing the dimensions and how they're obtained for different spaced dovetails would be very welcome.
I was wondering about the answer to this question too but I think that I have figured it out.... It isn't the dimensions from the bit.. it's the dimensions of the smaller part of the cut out part on the test piece... That's why he's saying that it's not the largest or smallest part of the bit... It's the smallest part that's been cut out from the work piece... Then it's doubled so that there is 11mm missing... Then a tail that is 22mm... Then 11mm missing.... Then when you add the smaller spacer that is 11mm to do the other cuts on the 2nd work piece the joints line up perfectly.... That's what I think is going on... Plus if you see the sketch that they did with the measurements on there is a line going across the bit "where the work piece would sit" and the lines going through the bit showing 11mm line up with the work piece line... I think this is how they have done it... I will try it out tomorrow and see if I'm right
Here's the part I missed. When he's doing the half blind part on the router, how did he know when to stop? I couldn't even see a mark on the table or anything?
1:03 min. in this video there is a jig in the left side with 2 bosch routers mounted. Can you show/tell me what that jeg is for. Yours cinserly Jesper Nørgaard Weng Roskilde
@3:31 the diagram shows the width of the bit measured but seems to be excluding the cutters on the dovetail bit. ie It's not the widest part of the dovetail bit. Is this correct?

Greetings from Guatemala
Excellent! No fancy tools, just great craftsmanship! I'll be using this technique!
This awesome. I’m trying this one too. I used your box joint system yesterday and it worked very well. thank you!
Nice to see metrics in use, thank you so much!
If only all of the other woodworking video hosts could talk the same amount as this gentleman.
I really like the sled for your table saw, could you do a video giving some detail on it. And great video, one of the few that actually explains the measurements of the spacer pieces.
Greetings from Arlington, Texas. Excellent demonstration. Thank you for sharing.
I stumble upon this channel and have learned many things.. Thanks for you hard work
These are awesome videos for a beginning woodworker like me. Thank you and please, keep it up!
Yet another brilliant idea for dovetail joint. Thanks for sharing
I will love to learn from this guy! I am from Switzerland but spent most of my summer in the woods in Finland.
You may have trouble plugging in the router table in the woods.
great video ! this man has great skills and a lot selfmade jigs and machines.
a real good woodworker.
I guess it doesn't take long time and this channel has a lot subscribers and fans
Man I wish I could work with this guy for awhile , he has the best ways to make dove tail joints , all the other videos I see you need to spend a lot of money on jigs and than you need a class on how to use it
Another satisfying video. That looks really neat. Thanks for making it.
Everything you did, look like very easy to do, but isn’t!!!! Congratulations!!!!
Love the way he speaks
BRILLIANT!! Way easier than a dedicated fixture...
I am from India
I want to learn woodwork
Your way of teaching is amazing
Thanks brother 🙏
Lovely no-nonsens channel. Like it. Keep on the good job.
Excellent video I've been looking for something like for ages, thank you for sharing
you know this guy would be awesome to have a beer with
Thanks for useful tips and detailed information.
Thank you!, 🐝 I needed a refresher course 😊
never thought of doing it like that! clever!
You are the real expert. Thank you
I enjoy your videos and creativity.
For me, it's a new way to do dovetail joinery . Thank you.
Appreciate you. Just got a router, and wanted to learn how to make boxes like that.
Simplicity=genius. Thanks.
Great video! Looking forward to more great content!
I love your sliding tablle on your tablesaw.i had a similar one
Dankeschön! Eine tolle Idee. So einfach, so genial!
Danke fürs zeigen.
I love your setup.
This is very tidy and clear video thank you very much for sharing
Ho appena guardato tutti i tuoi video...
👍👍👍
love this video, such a clever idea using the strips of wood,!
Quick and dirty but well done, thank you for sharing.
I like you mate. Straight to the point no fucking around. Did some box joints yesterday after watching your video worked perfect 1st go.

Nice job man!!!
Thank you for your video!Nice work!
Make more. You do good work.
I never thought like that... U are awesome mate...thanks for share this vid
Thanks for sharing. It's great. Only one imperfection of the joint, there is a bit too much cut off by the router inner side of the dovetail. But anyway, this is great and easy!
Another informative presentation.
Thanks.
perfect, thanks, I like that sander too
Again so easy! Thank you!
Awesome job, cheers from Argentina!
Tuollaiset laatikot ovat hienoja
Another great video, new sub! 👍
Nice. Never seen that method.
Fantastic! I hope to try this someday!
very nice, love your work.
how do you know how to set the fence distance from the cutter for the first cut. keep up the good work

Thank you for the video..Looks good from outside but I am pretty sure the joints inside the box has holes. ??? Nope..
Thank you! What a great video!

Maybe just so far that the bit has completely gone in to the workpiece?
Great video. Thanks for sharing.
Excellent video please make more. Thank you.
Very ingenious. Thanks for sharing.
Another brilliantly simple and effective method. Shame I don't think this will do full through dovetails, only 1/2 blind dovetails
best no jig woodworking skill
Awesome job! Thank you for the tips! Cheers.
Great work! Thanks for sharing!
- Thanx again 4 great techniques.
Lindas suas caixas.

Very nice work
refreshing to see a craftsman sliding workpiece thru a table saw without pushing it with a miter gauge. Thus avoiding injury.
That is genius!
hell of a bandsaw ya got there. who makes it? Great method too.Thanks for sharing.
brilliant! thanks for sharing it
Very cool!
Thats so clever 👍👏
When he says "We have one smaller piece to offset the position of the joint", is the width of the smaller piece the width of the bit (ie: half of the width of the guide pieces?

very good. nice. 💐
congratulations, it's very greats
Super bravo!!!
Thank you
@3:31 the diagram shows the width of the bit measured but seems to be excluding the cutters on the dovetail bit. ie It's not the widest part of the dovetail bit. Is this correct?
We didn't exclude the cutters, we simply measured from the center of the bit.
BRILLIANT!!! This is AWES0ME and simple for an idiot like myself could replicate (I think) :-) Thank you so much for sharing...
