THE BEST video on how to cut hand-cut dovetails PERIOD! There's some really good "extras" that I took from this video as well, such as measuring using a story pole.
After watching the video I was some what in awe. When someone mentions hand cutting dovetails i think of marking knifes, expensive saws, and extensive layout. A gent saw, chisel, marking gauge, and a pencil is all that is used. I do think the actions happens a little to fast for the beginner.
An oldie and still the best! Learn how to dovetail a drawer for every day furniture projects. This video blows most woodworkers away, which is too bad because many are too intimidated to actually try the method shown. But in Frank's world, this is how the apprentices learn to cut dovetails, its how they cut the dovetails in the packing cases they ship their furniture in , it's supposed to be an everyday skill for a cabinetmaker.
It is actually about the best way to learn to cut dovetails. It eliminates a lot of unnecessary time wasting jigs and steps, and if you try it you may be surprised at how quickly you can pick it up.
The video also covers how to perfectly fit drawers.
Fast paced for a wood video.
Mr. Klausz is obviously a very talented and experienced woodworker but I'm not sure the emphasis he puts forth is for everyone. This is a lesson in efficiency and therefore profitability as a professional woodworker. The speed at which he turns out a drawer is amazing. There are many tips in here that apply to everyone's work, but this isn't the video you want if you are wanting to learn how to dovetail and fit a quality drawer. Instead check out the Rob Cosman videos on dovetailing and drawer construction. Or if you are very detail oriented, the David Charlesworth videos are amazing.
Again, there are many good tips in this video, but the emphasis is on speed.
