@@pierrerousseau8770 Hey Pierre, I recently finished filming the last part and I'm currently editing it. It will be uploaded in the next few days. I'm thrilled you like my videos!
@@atteljas Hey! Thanks a lot! Yes I do have a patreon, it should be linked in the description. I upload exclusive patreon only videos every other week! plus other perks!
Great videos! Meticulous craftsmanship and talent. I have begun a woodwork evening course. I thought I was relatively good with tools, as I studied sculpture at Uni, but apparently my sawing was woeful! Watching your sawing technique I can see where I am going wrong! Totally agree with the marking gauge comment, the veritas looks superior to the community college variety!, thank you keep up the great work!
Sean, when putting the board in the vice to cut the tails, you can use the dovetail marker/guide against the vice to set the saw lines vertical. Although this is easier to see on video than write down!
I need a video on how to get/keep my chisels as sharp as yours! I want mine to cut through wood like butter too haha. The dovetail remover is pretty handy! Good idea!
5:41 I saw what you did there :-) Excellent video as always some great ideas and tips. Just finished designing my very first piece of furniture on paper, so this is a very will timed video, I'm going to need all the tips & tricks I can find in cutting the dovetails when I start building it.
Very nicely done Sean 😁. You do make it look so easy.... and I know from first hand experience I would make it look difficult..... and a bit of a mess. Great video and great reference to pop back to... if I ever attempt a dovetail again 😁. Thanks for the video Sean. Stay safe 😁👍
Sean, great tips from start to finish. I think you are using an adjustable saw frame from Cooksongold. Are you using saw blades from them? I’ve bought some but they seem smaller than the blades I see in the video. Please could you say where you source your blades. Andrew
Sean, when you cut your tails after removing the tape, are you cutting right to the edge of the tape and are you chiseling them clean afterward? I ask because your joints are super tight.
Hi Scott, I aim to get the joint straight from the saw so yes I cut right on the edge. Sometimes the cut might not be perfect and you have to tweak the wall with a chisel. But its good practice and faster if you can get the joint direct from the saw.
Cool! Love the pin board remover, didn’t know that one. Wondering... if you saw on both sides, isn’t it contradictory with sawing from the show face ? Another dilemma for me: I tried to make the invisible baseline by marking it after the tail transfer, BUT when using masking tape, I basically roll off the tape while gauging, which ruins my marking. Any tip on this besides skipping invisible baseline after transfer gauging ?
Hi mate, glad you liked the video. Yes I do agree, I just wanted to show alex's method for people that just want to focus on one angle. I always keep the show face toward me and saw both angles. So yes you cannot do both method together. With the invisible baseline, I should cover that in my next video, I going to walk through my whole dovetail cutting process.
Hi Sean....great video! We been watching you for a long time now. I want to master making dovetails so bad. This has been so helpful. Can't wait to try out your way. Silly question...how often do you change the blade on your fret saw?
Hey mate, thanks a lot! I'm thrilled the videos are helpful! To be honest I think I have only ever changed the blade once. I only use that fret saw for removing dovetail waste, so it doesn't get alot of abuse.

I have watched a lot of hand cut dovetail videos, but this one is by far the best one
Wow thank you so much Pierre!
@@SeanEvelegh hi Sean, when will you post your next video ? I really look forward to it
@@pierrerousseau8770 Hey Pierre, I recently finished filming the last part and I'm currently editing it. It will be uploaded in the next few days. I'm thrilled you like my videos!
Best tip. The dovetail removal
Your channel is youtubes best kept secret. These are some stunning videos!
Thanks so much! That means a lot!
@@SeanEvelegh These are silly good! You got yourself a patreon

You're an artist and a creator.
Mate ur dovetail is f**king beautiful, I can only hope to one day be as good as this
Thank you so much George! You definitely can, just takes a lot of practice.
I've never been confident enough to do dovetails, these videos are a great help :)
Hey Mike! I'm glad. My next video I am walking through the whole process, so I hope that will help!

Definitely the pin board remover
Glad it was helpful mate!

Hey Neil, thanks for watching. I can't quite picture what your saying. Are you talking about the magnet dovetail guides that help you cut to the line?
You're way too talented and have been here way too long to have only gained 24k subscribers, my dear sir! I love your work!
Thank you Evan! That's very kind, I do it for the people who enjoy my videos, like you!
So helpful mate thank you.
No problem! Glad you liked it!
You know, you are really creative. I can't wait to see more of your awesome videos ... Take care of yourself
Thanks mate! That means a lot! I'm looking forward to showing you more!
@@SeanEvelegh I look so❤️
Great video. I guess I'm making a dovetail dry-fit removal pin tool today!
I need a video on how to get/keep my chisels as sharp as yours! I want mine to cut through wood like butter too haha.
The dovetail remover is pretty handy! Good idea!
I use the Rob Cosman sharpening method. There is a really good video on his channel on his sharpening process. Hope that helps mate!
You are amazing 🤩
Excellent instructional video...👍🏻
Thank you Stuart! Means a lot!
Very nice work Sean great tips and tricks mate thanks
Thanks mate! Glad you liked it!
Hello Sean,
How is the saw called you use at minute 4:25?
I didn’t unterstand it when you were saying it, sorry 😄
Greetings from Germany
Hey, It's called a fret saw, it's a bit like a coping saw but smaller.
5:41 I saw what you did there :-)
Excellent video as always some great ideas and tips. Just finished designing my very first piece of furniture on paper, so this is a very will timed video, I'm going to need all the tips & tricks I can find in cutting the dovetails when I start building it.
Hey Jason! Thanks so much! That's good, hopefully my next video will be helpful as well!
Great vid! I defo need to start making fine joinery sometime! thanks for the vid!
No problem! Thanks for watching mate!
the best tip is the remove trick
Very nicely done Sean 😁. You do make it look so easy.... and I know from first hand experience I would make it look difficult..... and a bit of a mess. Great video and great reference to pop back to... if I ever attempt a dovetail again 😁. Thanks for the video Sean. Stay safe 😁👍
Thanks Frank! That's very kind, I just practiced a lot ahah! You too mate!

Thanks Andrew, I’m glad you liked the video. I actually brought my fret saw and blades from Rob Cosman

@@SeanEvelegh welcome - keep the health...
Best tip…. Tape on the end grain of the pin board. I’ve not seen that one before. Second best tip …. Dovetail removal tool. Also never seen before
Glad you liked the video!

You are devil! Dovetails cannot be so perfect :)
Perfect job, Sean
Thank you Pedro!
