Thanks Karl, love the new hand tool focused stuff. I have most machines but havent switched them on in months as hand tool woodworking is where its at for me. Its not easy being self taught but you UA-cam fellas really help!
Excellent video with clear concise explanation, although pretty much a novice woodworker I think after watching this I would be inclined to try it Many Thanks for such a clear tutorial
Hi Karl, amazing work absolutely brilliant dove tail , I could watch this all day great video a 12 out of 10 from me, can't wait for the next project, Take care Mate👍
Thank you so much Shaun, this was actually my worst one since using this method 🤣 as soon as I start recording I can't do things correctly haha thank goodness for editing software 😅
Karl I absolutely loved this video. The level of detail is incredible. It makes we want to rush out to my garage, even though it’s 6°c in there, and try out your technique. A couple of questions if I may: why use two types of saw? What are the differences? TPI! And what exactly is an ‘under cut’ when using the chisel. Is that a KM router? I really can’t wait for your next video. These are online course level quality. Do you do online courses? Ken, Southport UK
Thank you Ken, firstly thank you. I use a tenon saw which has 12 tpi and is good for cutting down the grain then I like to switch to the Dovetail saw for the cross cuts because I don't own a cross cut saw and the fine 20 tpi Dovetail saw overs a lovely fine cut. Yes this us the KM router plane and I love using it. A under cut is where I cut slightly backwards beyond the knife line so that there is no material impending the joint coming together. Few hope I covered everything there for you OK lol
Oh missed one lol we don't have online courses at the moment but this is something we are working on. Hopefully by the end of 2024 we will have them set up.
Great video Karl. Your timing is impeccable as I’m starting a big build in the next few weeks and wanted to put some proper joinery into it. I’m not sure what type but this has certainly got me thinking a bit harder Great video and really well explained. Keep up the good work.
Nice video there m8 well explained although not sommit that's in my skilset 1 don't have everything to do it and 2 you explained it really well but still 🤯🤯🤯 🏴👍 have u seen the Katz Moses jig that can be used. Annoying u can't buy it here. Ps we need wood turning am dying on that video.
Hi Karl, thatnks for a great video. Just a thought...you say to cut the dovetail before cutting/removing the actual half lap so that you have the full width of the board to help give a straight cut. Couldn't you also cut the shoulder before the half lap removal for the same reason?
@@karlpopewoodcraft not sure if these screenshots will help to visualise what I'm saying. drive.google.com/file/d/1PG2vueEmFGxd9DYsAb9cxUy7g3ztzrT_/view?usp=sharing, drive.google.com/file/d/1r-SlncKtKLaTlmosptWAK-7N8esc0Fav/view?usp=sharing 07.28 in your video shows the half lap waste intact as you cut the dovetail and 10.01 shows you cutting the shoulder with the half lap waste removed. You comment that yoiur students struggle with that point and there can be a step on the shoulder hence you making the chiselled out groove on the knife cut. If the half lap waste was still intact you could make the cut and avoid any stepping. Hope this makes sense.
Lost count of the times I have demonstrated this and the other basic joints to my level one students. I do tell them it is important that they know how to mark out the ratio of the tails as this is part of the marking criteria and where they can get pass, merit or distinction as determined by City & Guilds. They all are always taught to use a knife for marking after first using a sharp 2h pencil, if they make a mistake on initially marking out it can be rubbed out. T- bridle and through mortice and tenon next?
Hi Gary what college do you work at? I should of started with the corner halving really and worked my way through, just I've been working on perfecting the minimal chisel method as much as possible on this one. I'm now trying to perfect the same with through Dovetails.
Thanks Karl, love the new hand tool focused stuff. I have most machines but havent switched them on in months as hand tool woodworking is where its at for me. Its not easy being self taught but you UA-cam fellas really help!
Thank you Paul, I'm going to release the Dovetail box video soon. Probably be in a couple of episodes to follow along to.
Did enjoy Karlos. Nice to chill and listen 🎉
Thank you Mark 😊
A clean & crisp joint Karl 👍
Thank you Phill. 😊
It's this level of detail customers don't appreciate, the amount of time it takes is worth the money
Thank you Steve 😊
Hey UA-cam, this is bang on. Take care Karl, we got this.

Is that a KM router?

Thank you Cindy, I wasn't sure if it was a little confusing.

Great video and really well explained. Keep up the good work.
Thanks mate, any questions please ask. I'm going to DM you as well.
@@karlpopewoodcraft cheers Karl.

Cheers mate, keep practicing. I'm building a unit for my lathe now.

I think that sounds plausible mate, I find it hard to visualise it, I'd need to do it to try. 🙂
