- I made a kerf plan and a sliding dovetail guide jig. I love the flush trim saw too much, huh (you can find the amazon link below)! The kerf plane is extremely easy to make and I think it's useful (Though it's not a magical tool...). If you feel like it, why don't you try making it!
I've also tried a hidden sliding dovetail in the past and it sounds a little complicated but it was actually easier option or at least it's hidden:) If you are interested in it, check out the following video. • Kumiko Shelf by Hand T...

After I used the kerfing plane several times, I think it was better if I made it a push saw with a strong handle rather then a pull saw. The biggest concern is, there’s too much friction.
@@miketo09 Hi Mike, Thank you for the comment and the advice:)
As for friction, they are exactly the major factors and I think using a blade with set can solve them like you said. Though I may have to give up the features like cutting exactly where I place the blade on with very minimal play and it won't damage the fence so I can re-use the fence.
A convex shape blade is very interesting idea! I was actually thinking the version 2 can be something like a half set blade (file off the one side of set) - I'm not sure if such thing works. Anyways, I don't have any metal fabrication skills/tools so I'm happy if somebody develops it to the next level!
Hi, I enjoyed the video, thanks. I see the problem a pull saw would have without a handle, if you changed it to a push motion you may be surprised that you could still use your method with the fence to guide you without it binding or creating friction. You could also rub a bit of candle wax or soap on the fence and blade for lubrication. Take care my freind👍😊
@@peterdeans4635 Thank you for the comment and the advice! Now I use camellia oil as lubrication and it works better but there are still many more things to improve...haha:)
I LOVE that you include your mistakes and how you have to fix them later-it helps keep me from getting too disgusted and giving up when I mess up!
Thank you for the comment and I’m glad that you like it! I’m not here as a pro to tell what’s right to do so I just share everything I experienced and hope it’ll be helpful:)
New subscriber. You are an amazing artist and maker. Love this idea.
Thank you! I just try anything that comes up to my mind but not necessarily they are good:)
It’s just fun!!
I admire you, you have given me the
Inspiration to make my own wooden
Planes now, thank you
Thank you! It's just fun to play around with wood:) Hope you make good ones!
Well done! Nice development of tools! You have skills, never down play your skill please, your journey is not just learning but also informative for many
Thank you for the comment and the advice. I'm learning not only woodworking & video making but also behavior/attitude through TH-cam so hopefully, I can improve them a little by little:)
Excellent job on crafting a fine tool and fence.
Thank you for checking multiple videos! I have a version 2 idea but I need to find a way to make it!
This is a brilliant little jig. I'm in the process of making a dining room table, and I'm debating whether to use a sliding dovetail for the bread board... My challenge is making a dovetail across 30"+ is a little bit trickier
Thank you for the comment! I would do a staggered sliding dovetail (Okuri ari) that sounds kind of complicated but in reality, there is a less chance of messing it up.
Please check my open shelf project (I used the sliding dovetail jig but I explained the joint).
th-cam.com/video/PDpDdHLubF0/w-d-xo.htmlsi=qnGTRrq5MNrhp1Tz&t=301
I made the joint without the jig (One of my early time project/ kind of embarrasing...)

@@YRTi thanks for the tip! I think if I make a large enough jig (I have plenty of stock) I can make the cut well enough, but I'll add the staggered option into consideration.
This is such a great way of solving a problem in an affordable and accessible way, I hope to make my own version of this soon.
Thank you! To reduce the resistance especially going across the grain, I found camellia oil works great!
Always great to find others trying to learn but keeping it fun and easy during. 👌👌👌
Thank you for the comment. Learning and enjoying can live together and I'm still doing them:)
You are giving me lots of inspiration, as I have only recently started woodworking.
I'm glad to hear that! I still consider myself as a beginner but all I can say is keep your pace and enjoy it! Thank you:)
Haha you are better at woodworking after a year than I am after...more than one year. :D These are great, man. I'm working my way through the whole channel.
Oh thank you! haha, it's kind of embarrassing so I can't watch those videos in my early days but yeah, thank you so much:)
Wow, very interesting. You should do a jig and use it for kerf bending in a really precise way, or at least more precise than using a 3 mm circular saw blade like most people here.
Thank you for the comment! I think this is a little too inefficient way to cut but yeah, thank you for the idea:)
Wow… this is genius! 😮
Thank you! but yeah I can still use it but the problem is the saw doesn’t run smooth, haha!
@@YRTi ...I saw another video where they put a 14º angle on a regular 2x4, and just clamp it on and then use that as a saw & chisel guide (for female/mortise).
And, for the male end (tail/tenon), just use a rabbet or shoulder plane, and try to hold/tilt it at a 14º angle.
Of course, this technique won't reach the very inside corner of tail/shoulder, so needs to be cleaned up w chisel after still.
But, the shoulder/rabbet plane cut is a good starting point and you could reference/pare off of that.
Thank you for sharing the info, my friend!
great job and looks fun building. thanks
Thank you for the comment! It's always fun to try new idea to see if it really works:)
Very helpful. Thanks for sharing your experience.
Thank you for the comment! I'm still finding a way to reduce the friction so I can cut the wood easier...
Oh I like this combo!
Thank you! and me, too , haha:)
Very nice ! Thank you for your ideas. Keep up the good work!!!
Thank you! This isn't a perfect solution but I still use this jig:)
Your work is so inspiring!!
Thank you. Your comment inspires me, too!
I just found your channel. This style of kerfing plane is wonderful. I have used a Japanese azebiki with a guide to cut dados. Like you, I found the teeth would become clogged with the sawdust. It was a small price to pay for such a beautiful cut. I will try your style for sliding dovetails in the future. Thank you. Also, for someone who is new to the hobby of woodworking you are doing fantastically well.
Thank you for the comment. I've tried some different methods to make sliding dovetails by now and I usually use an Azebiki & wide chisel for the side walls of the mortise. To cut the tail on a thin board like less than 3/4" board, I still use this kerf saw to cut out the majority of the waste or I don't know how else I can't cut a slice away from the marking lines on the tail side. So it's clogged often but I still use it :)
Woah, you're a great content maker. I subscribed within seconds. I'd bet you be big soon. I'm eager to see more oodworking 😁!
Thank you for the comment and sub! I want to grow this channel but we'll see how it goes:)
Great work
Thank you😎
👍🐯👍, thanks for sharing your skills, I plan on making one and your video will help a lot.
Thank you! this plane works fine somehow and I still use it as is but please do not expect this is a complete tool....this has things to be improved...
Wow I really like this idea and I’m going to try to make it for myself. Thank you
Thank you for the comment! Like I said in the video, the saw doesn't move as nice as I hoped so please be patient. using a blade lube will help a lot (I recommend camellia oil and I showed it in my workbench video).
Well done! I enjoyed the video very much!!
Thank you! I hope you enjoy other videos of mine, too:)
Absolutely love this idea and design!! I've been making sliding dovetails by hand for years and this way is better! Thank you for the video. Please make an updated video about this. Or maybe make a video how to build the sliding dovetail jig
Thank you for the comment! I want to make a new version and I actually have few ideas but now I have a several new problems(source/skill) to solve... I'm still positive to make it:)
Cool project. I just found your channel. After watching this video, I subscribed. I'm looking forward to watching your other videos.
Hi Danny! Thank you for the comment and sub! I'll keep doing my best:)
I really enjoy your videos. Thank you for Charing 😉
Thank you for your comment! Sorry, I don't understand what you mean by charing but again, whatever it is, thank you, I'm happy that you left a comment here, haha:)
good work mate!
Thank you, mate!
Nice idea! 💪👌
Thank you 🙏
This is amazing!
Thank you so much! I was worrying about if there’s no comment😎
Good to see what you can achieve with very little expense. Thank you. Two hints: Use parafin wax to reduce friction on your wooden tools; and why not remove every second tooth on your saw to ease the cutting? Cheers.
Thank you for the advice! I'm still new to woodworking so I just prefer to buy a tool as needed basis for better understanding of the tool rather than buying a lot of tools all at a time and I don't even know how to use them, haha.
@@YRTi A very sound attitude.
Thanks!
Thank you!! I still use this to cut a tail on an edge of a board but like I said in the comment, the saw somewhat needs improvement or there is too much friction especially when cross cutting...
I love the dovetail guide. I always hate making dovetails and end up doing finger joints instead. I think I am going to try to make a similar dovetail jig.
Thank you! If it's for a dovetail joint (not sliding one), I actually found Veritas Dovetail Saw Guide System is a pretty similar concept that they use a saw with a minimal tooth set. Now it's more than one year after this video, I somehow still use this jig for a sliding dovetail but for a normal dovetail joint, my advice is, you should try cutting it without a jig. The dovetail isn't an extremely difficult joint and once you get used to, I think you can do it just like a finger joint.... Hope you enjoy woodworking:)
@@YRTiI have been working with wood since the 1980s. I still am horrible at dovetails without a router. When I hand cut them, they always have gaps and even when I use the socket to draw the pins they always come out with slightly different angles. Such is life.
Thank you for sharing your experience! I’m sorry to hear that but at the same it’s encouraging to know even an experienced guy like you still has something in woodworking that you can improve on:)
@@YRTiwe all have things to improve and learn, my friend. This is why we share with each other, to help each other grow. Thank you for sharing your journey. I look forward to sharing your journey.
just learn from your mistakes and keep up the good work!
When it comes to making mistakes, I'm a professional!!
I like it, ive always had issues cutting sliding dovetails. I think the hardest for me is cutting the tail side (dark brown piece in your vid) to match the angle of the other part
Thank you! This was actually my first time doing the sliding dovetail so as long as you get the angle jig right and position it right, I think you'll be successful. I've tried a hidden sliding dovetail (staggered sliding dovetail) in the past project (I made 2 shelves and the video with the darker brown shelf) . It sounds complicated but I think it was actually easier when it comes to fabrication by hand. If you are interested in it, please check it, too:)
Clever idea, courser saw may work better.
Thank you for the comment and the advice:)
I don't think you should call yourself a beginner....even with the mistakes you say you make, these projects are not what I consider beginner projects. However, they give me ideas of things to try...thanks.
I’m glad that you got ideas from my video! Oh, with respect to those high level masters, about 1year exp is pretty much nothing… but I actually stopped calling myself a beginner because I want to be good rather than “good as a beginner” 😎
Very cool i liked the simplicity and versatility of your kerf plane. is epoxy strong enough?
Thank you for the compliment:) If you tried to peel the blade side way, I think it'll come off easily but so far, it's held in place.

Thank you:)
Where do you get the knurled knobs that you used on the adjustable fence? Keep up the good work!
Thank you for the comment! I got them from Amazon US (M6 knurled thumb nuts). If you just need a piece or two, local HD/Lowe's have them(imperial ones), too. As far as I remember, each of them is like $2 - 3. I was actually just using this jig to make the next project but hmm, I guess I need to make Ver.2 of this jig maybe...
The fence bit is nice, but if you actually use this to make many sliding dovetails you’ll rarely use it. Most sliding dovetails are in the middle of your piece (assuming you’re doing case work) and you’ll just use a straight line guide clamped across your work. Generally the location is much to far from the edge to use the fence.
Hi James! Thank you for the comment!
For a board that has a wide enough surface to clamp the angle guide directly, I don't think the fence is needed at all (like you said, cutting out a groove in the middle of a wide board). Though when it comes to cutting a tail, there's possibility that I may cut a tail on a narrow surface where it's difficult to clamp the angle guide directly. Let's say cutting a tail on a 3/4" shelf board end. I think it'll be difficult to stabilize the angle guide at a right position without the fence and that is the reason I made the fence but no offense:)
Try a lil paste wax might help
Thank you for the comment and the advice!
Don't beat yourself too much. Remember sliding dovetail is loose and grabs at the end only.
Thank you for the comment. Maybe it's just like a spring. One day, I'll come back strong with good skills hopefully, haha. Don't tell me I'm overconfident then:)
@@YRTi you have great skills and doing what you do will make you even greater.
