That block with the rare earth magnets you made for cutting straight lines is absolutely genius man! I'm definitely going to make myself a few of those. Cheers!
My new weekend ritual, watch a honest craftsman build works of art, while having my morning coffee ☕️ . Love your work kid. Sending some praise from NH. Keep up the great work man !
Love watching your videos Chris. Went back to some of your originals and just watched this one. Funny at 9:10 when you reference a piece of junk mail.... fast forward a couple of dozen videos into the future and now they are a sponsor :-) Keep up the great work, really enjoy the way you teach!
Your explanations for each of your work is amazing and spot on. Makes everything seem easy, which is what a great teacher achieves when teaching a lesson. Thank you so much and keep up the phenomenal work.
That’s a great video, I love your plane. You should have mentioned when the time comes to hammer in the dowel ‘s you should line up the grain with the work piece
G'day from Australia! As a newcomer to woodwork I look for vids like this to learn from, be inspired by and prompted to try techniques and methods that are new to me. You tick all the boxes mate! Easy to listen to, easy to understand and highly informative and instructional. A big thanks for that from this old newbie! More please!! :-)
So if I am understanding this technique correctly, the board with the mortice is only drilled from ONE side? I.E.. it is NOT drilled on the opposite side which would of allowed the dowel access through all three sections of the two boards, correct?
Dude you are a boss!!!! I really need to up my game from kregg joints to something more respectable... like a lap joint...or dowel joints... hahaha I'll start there. Gotta walk before you run!
if you shimmed the tenon shoulder on the second fit to set the offset, you wouldn't need to adjust the placement of the holes when you pulled it back out. Right? I would imagine one could drop a shim in the mortise to make the offset as well
Actually if you did that you would offset the hole in the wrong direction!!! when you drove the peg it would drive the joint apart the same distance as the shim was. no bueno haha.
Pulls the joint closer together, which is the point of this method. Simply drilling through does provide additional mechanical advantage. Misalignment of the thru holes forces the dowel to pull the wood down.
To be clear here the dowel is only driven Through the first half of the mortised board and the entire tenon and it does not pass through into the back half of the mortised board correct? I’m new to all this so just trying to figure it out lol
That is a clever style of joint, but I am skeptical of the functionality. If you had a tight fitting mortise and tenon then the offset dowel would not be able to pull the tenon in because it would already be bottomed out in the mortise. I understand using a dowel to keep the tenon from sliding out over time, but I don't understand how the sliding dowel is any improvement over a tight joint with a straight dowel (other than coolness).
Joy Knollenberg wood expansion is not an issue whatsoever in this joint. This technique is also used in breadboard ends and in that case you DO need to consider wood movement because it's such large distances. But I won't get into all that.
Mostly in your Narration. leave an impression and create a personality people can attach to. Sometimes it doesn't need to be so much energy as just a unique qwerk about yourself. Also the more energy the easier it is to watch multiples of your video. Also the more likely someone is to watch again.
Thanks Bandols. I appreciate the feedback, its definitely something that I am working on. It is surprising difficult talking to camera or narrating but the more I do it, the more comfortable I get and I'm hoping to get LOTS better in time, and also finding "my voice/style." Thanks again for the comment!!
@@ThirdCoastCraftsman, I think your delivery is just right. I doubt you are looking for a showbiz contract. I just discovered your channel yesterday and this is the first video I chose to watch. Enjoyed it thoroughly because you explained, and showed, in a simple straight forward illustrative manner exactly how to create what you intended. It was so well explained and shown that I feel I could go into my shop and replicate that joint without having to refer to the video again. Excellent work!
That block with the rare earth magnets you made for cutting straight lines is absolutely genius man! I'm definitely going to make myself a few of those. Cheers!
I learn something new every time I watch your videos.
You are a great teacher, not just a craftsman.
Learning much watching your videos. Thanks for posting.

Haha that is funny! Wow

Great job explaining everything thank you
You have become one of my favorite channels. I love your work and attention to detail. Fine job sir.
Thanks Jason, I really appreciate that!
The dowel in the drill to round the ends may have just made my head explode! 👌👍
I recently found a large pencil sharpener which works even better
That is pretty genius Chris!
What an AWESOME video. Great presentation and progression of the material covered. thanks!
thank you. im glad you enjoyed it!

Warren James thanks bud! That's exactly my goal with these videos!!!
If ya taking requests mate building your first tool tote/ toolbox and work bench would be high on my list! :-) Just sayin...
Just binge watched a bunch of your videos - very nice craftsmanship and video style. Keep it up!
That was great!
Fantastic video. Great information and wonderful craftsmanship.
Thank you, I am glad you liked it!
Another enjoyable and very informative vid. Thanks heaps
This is awesome Chris. I will have to try this on my next project that has joints. Subscribed!!
Thanks so much! Keep an eye for the other cool joinery videos I will be posting from this same project!
Amazing work!
Thanks Darren, much appreciated!
Great, thanks for the instructional mate!
Some amazing craftsmanship there man💪🏻
Thanks baz
great explanations! Nice videos. Thanks for the videos! Can't wait to utilize these in my own projects.
Just came across your channel, really enjoy the content. Thanks!
Thanks Paul, Im glad you found the channel!

Dude you are a boss!!!! I really need to up my game from kregg joints to something more respectable... like a lap joint...or dowel joints... hahaha I'll start there. Gotta walk before you run!
how do you actually drawbore if you don't fully drill the hole all the way through in the mortise piece
I am thinking of pinning a stretcher-to-leg joint on a chair I am designing. Would you recommend this technique for that application?
I think I know what you are talking about and I think it would be just fine.
Thank you.

Actually if you did that you would offset the hole in the wrong direction!!! when you drove the peg it would drive the joint apart the same distance as the shim was. no bueno haha.
Doh!
is that a Homer "Doh!"?? hahaha
What is the reason for offsetting the dowel location?
Pulls the joint closer together, which is the point of this method. Simply drilling through does provide additional mechanical advantage. Misalignment of the thru holes forces the dowel to pull the wood down.
To be clear here the dowel is only driven Through the first half of the mortised board and the entire tenon and it does not pass through into the back half of the mortised board correct? I’m new to all this so just trying to figure it out lol
Having used this join myself i can say it does not pass through. But i cant see a reason for it not to if you wanted it visible from both sides
Terry Priestley thanks!
What is that metal rod you're using to hold down the wood? I've seen it in some of your other videos as well.
Thats called a holdfast. Amazing little tools
For anyone who enjoyed the intro music, it’s called ‘Midwest’ on the ‘Around the World in Music’ album by Chamonix
That is a clever style of joint, but I am skeptical of the functionality. If you had a tight fitting mortise and tenon then the offset dowel would not be able to pull the tenon in because it would already be bottomed out in the mortise. I understand using a dowel to keep the tenon from sliding out over time, but I don't understand how the sliding dowel is any improvement over a tight joint with a straight dowel (other than coolness).
Nicely done.
What about wood expansion in this joint?
Joy Knollenberg wood expansion is not an issue whatsoever in this joint. This technique is also used in breadboard ends and in that case you DO need to consider wood movement because it's such large distances. But I won't get into all that.
Very well done. Don't be afraid to get out of your comfort zone and throw some more energy into it.
Bandols C thanks for the feedback. By more energy, do you mean in my narration and talking scenes?
Mostly in your Narration. leave an impression and create a personality people can attach to. Sometimes it doesn't need to be so much energy as just a unique qwerk about yourself. Also the more energy the easier it is to watch multiples of your video. Also the more likely someone is to watch again.

It's good to see Woodprix have new instructions to save my money and energy to build it.
