Hand Tool Woodworking | Faux Dovetail Spline
Feel free to enable closed captioning for step by step build details, or leave them off to enjoy an ASMR building experience!
This frame was built almost entirely with hand tools, using hand saws and planes to mill the walnut, a plow plane for the groove for the glass and the rabbet for the back panel, a custom 45 degree shooting board for the mitered joints, and a hand saw to cut the dovetail angled splines. The splines are poplar and are planed to thickness by hand, as the width must be precise to within a few thousands of an inch to get a good glue joint. The front is glass 3/32" thick, the back is plexiglass. The back panel is held on by screws so it can be removed and the inside of the frame cleaned out periodically.
I want to thank each and every one of you for watching my videos, liking them, leaving comments, and subscribing. I've been making videos for over 5 years now and I never thought I would reach this milestone.
More important than number of subscribers, though, is my interaction with you all. I've learned so much from comments from more experienced woodworkers, and I've also learned to see projects from all sorts of different angles thanks to comments from beginners and casual viewers.
Thanks for watching. Feel free to leave a comment with your thoughts, and don't forget to subscribe if you like content like this!

Heirloom Flag Display Case | Quiet Woodworking
Переглядів 12 тис.Рік тому
My grandfather used to say "a job worth doing is a job worth doing well", so I decided to put in the effort to build a finely crafted display case for his service flag. He was in the US Navy. I designed this case myself and built it out of black walnut. In this video I build the display case and I add descriptive comments and thought processes as subtitles, if you are interested in the details....
Don't buy a router plane! Build one instead.

Router planes are one of the most useful and important specialty planes for any hand tool woodworker. Unfortunately antique planes can be rare and modern planes can be really expensive. Fortunately router planes are one of the easiest planes to make yourself and end up with something very precise... especially when you buy the parts from @Paul.Sellers ! In this video I build the Paul Sellers ro...

You haven't seen a hatchet handle like this (no power tools)
Переглядів 45 тис.Рік тому
I recently snapped the handle on my hatchet so I decided to make an even better handle to replace it. I built this handle out of laminated layers of poplar, cherry, and walnut. These aren't usually the best woods for hatchet and axe handles (like hickory or ash) but the lamination process makes them stronger. I carved this handle entirely with hand tools, no electrons were harmed in the making ...
DIY Closet Organization on a Budget | Repurposing Lumber

I literally paid $7.88 for materials to DIY renovate this closet. Almost. By using the old closet doors for plywood construction material I was able to build customizable shelving and a removable shoe rack basically for free. The shelving and shoe rack are made with rabbet and dado joinery, which is both technically simple to do, and is extremely strong. I ended up purchasing some iron on edge ...

    Hey question - I cut some “lifeproof” flooring with my blades. I’m assuming there’s some weird adhesive or whatever in them. Would this help to clean off that nastiness? I kid you not, my blades cause immense amounts of smoke now. Would love to just clean off and reuse.

    I just found your channel and watched this video. You drew me in! I had to subscribe. It's nice to watch someone take the time to work with wood the old fashioned way and turn out such a beautiful table. What you do takes skill and patience. No hurry...you get there when you get there. It's a great life lesson that you obviously take to heart (centering after watching the leg disappear off the table...🙂). Great video...I'll be watching more. Thanks!

    I absolutely LOVE the fact that you didn't hide the splitting of that board. Who knows how bad you actually lost your sh*t though lol. I've been teaching myself dovetails for the past few weeks, and I've gotta tell you, I would have had to start the whole thing over before seeing this video. You see all the big wig woodworkers, and their projects always seem to work out perfectly on the first try. I feel that's never the case, and gives a false sense of how it should be done. Mistakes should be shown. How they are looked at and corrected is a huge part of learning the art of woodworking. Hella nice box btw. The dovetails... Superb. 👏 Bravo!
