- Just another dovetail video? Not really, when you can watch Christian Becksvoort dovetail a drawer packed into a 7-minute edit.
Head over to bit.ly/2krcIeR for more information on Chris' dovetailing process.
I loved the pencil trick checking the tight spots. Very satisfying seeing a persons enjoying themselves using their talents.
Agree, I had one of those, "why didn't I think of that" moments seeing that.
The pencil trick was AMAZING!!!!
By "pencil trick" do you mean scribing the dovetail cuts?
3:52
AKA "chasing the smudge"...
Wow. What a joy to watch a master do this work with such skill, passion, and smiles. Absolutely Inspiring and a Thrill.
I'd FAR rather hear him work, and possibly some comments, than have any music whatsoever.
graymouser. Agreed. The music doesn't fit the video at all and would be far better without it.
All a matter of taste. I liked the music.
couldnt agree more, would have been a better video without the music and better camera work
Ahh, complain too much. Video was great. A master at work my friends.
@@krabenaldt7605 Exactly. Schön richtig.
Larry David is so multitalented!!
This is a great video and Christian's smile at 3.05 just makes it for me. The guy is having a ball doing his thing and kicking ass while doing it.
Having just spent a couple of hours in the shop practicing dovetails this video is both inspiring and depressing.
The 131 people that thumbs downed this video better have done that solely for the music. The guy is fantastic to watch and I’d love to study under him for years to learn I will never be as good as he is.
I still gave this video a thumb up but god the music is so loud
Fantastic work (I'm a pins first guy though, doing them like Tage Frid), thumbs up from me, although I wish there was a way to turn the music off. It'd be nice to hear what the tools are doing more clearly.
Had to google this name after seeing Ron giggling on parks and rec lols.
all that beautiful handwork and then a belt sander....I love it!
Was thinking g the same thing. Haha
The best thing about this video, to me, is the appearance of the Skil 449 locomotive to flush the pins with the tails. Such a cool looking tool!
I’d like to spend a month with this guy he’s probably forgot more than I know
I like the way FWW produced this video, meat & potatoes, no fluff.
So this is the man ron swanson has spoken of :)
Lafayette - NIterói Brasil - Thanks for your great lesson - formidable!
Hold up, this guy is real?!?! I thought it was just some random actor hired for Ron Swanson to nerd out on at the woodworking awards show!
Beautiful video Ben. Thanks so much. Such amazaing skill.
Its great to see someone keeping the old skills alive. As an apprentice I met an old time proffessional dovetailer. He told me he could produce 8 drawers a day which is 32 sets of dovetails. He said that if you over ran with the saw you'd get fined..
Its always worth remembering that this kind of skill changes dramatically when you have to add speed. You get paid on production in the trade.
When you do it a thousands times you get very proficient and mistakes rarely happen.
you can tell he's done thousands of dovetails during his career
More tricks/efficiency shown in 7 minutes without talking then you will see in longer new videos these days.
A master at his trade and I loved watching him do his art but I was really distracted by the music.
I'm blown away. The man really is a master
Why are we watching other dovetailers? This one makes the most sense, easily. He had me at the layout.
Watch, practice,repeat. Oh yes, and sharpen my chisels
Beautiful shop, beautiful dog, beautiful home, magnificent dovetails... Quality and professionalism at it's finest. Great video.. Great smile as well.. i really enjoyed this video. Thanks for sharing
That was way more than just another dovetail video! Seven minutes of gems!
What an awesome video. I'm just starting carpentry. It's so nice to see someone so comfortable doing what they love. I hope I'm this effortless one day
L-N chisels?
Who else came here after watching Parks and Rec?😆
How did he get the drawer bottom in after glue up? Seriously?
Look at 5:15. The drawer back is cut narrower than the front and sides. It is cut at the drawer bottom dado height. This allows the drawer bottom to be slid in from the back after the sides and front are glued and assembled.
Amazing artist! one day i might be able to make a dovetail joint so easily. Thank you for sharing your talents and skills!
Better than a router
I like everything about this video including the music. I have read his articles too. True talent and craftsmanship.
Is this the man Ron Swanson was giddy over on Parks & Rec.?
I've watched quite a few dovetail videos and this is the first time I've seen some chisel out the waste like that. Looks much easier than the other methods I've seen, but I'm 100% sure that's because he's done a million of these.
Brilliant! I've watched dozens of dovetail videos by experienced craftsmen. This is far and a away the most efficient, elegant and inspirational method I have seen. Thank you so much for sharing your expertise.
If only I had the same experience as the piece of cardboard used for the glue up....
Well I guess that’s how ya do it!! Wow!!
I can watch this video over and over, every few months, without knowing really I'm doing it; like great songs from the 70's...cheers...rr Normandy, France
This is my favorite dovetail video! Thank you!
I think he's done this before... :)
I think he’s done that before!😳
More videos like this from FWW would be amazing, just short bite size content from masters i've watched this video so many times and everytime i pick up on something new. I tried dovetailing the other day for the first time, and immediately thought of this video.
Christian does more hand cut dovetails in a month than most of us ever will...
Love his work...
This is my favorite dovetail video! So simple, so easy. Well done! Thank you!
What was that diagonal line he measured earlier to get the placement of the tails? I've never seen that!
By aligning the ruler at a whole number divisible by the (whole) number of tails, then marking at each division and carrying the line back up. Paul Sellers has a video on it I believe, and Becksvoort describes it in 'Shaker Inspiration,' which is impossible to over-recommend.
Wow. The level that a skill can be taken to. Bravo to the owner who takes it there.
This is the most efficient guy i have seen. Every movement has a purpose.
Well done! Nice vídeo
Love the technique of blackening the pins to determine where to trim. Simple idea.
Really instructive video, but the music!! for heaven's sake ! It's terrible ; dull, repetitive and depressing. Who can possibly have thought that it would enhance the video? I mean, do you fondly imagine that Mr Becksvoort listens to that sort of rubbish while he's working?
I feel very fortunate that I was able to attend two separate weekend workshops that Chris conducted at the Lie-Nielsen Toolworks. I learned more about hand tool dovetails during those two weekends than I could have learned in two weeks from most any other instructor.
Oh jeez, if i knew dovetails were so easy and simple I’d have done these a long time ago. Being sarcastic. That was quite a demonstration of some seriously honed skills. Nice video.
Tons of tips and tricks to see just by watching Chris. Gosh hes so good. Love his furniture and personality.
Nice video. Please kill the music. Not necessary and the sound of the woodworking is helpful.
Fucking wonderful, but norm Abraham invented power tools, why waste your time....
7 minutes! So much to take away from just 7 minutes!
pgfollett ... take away?? Like what? Great to see a master at work. Crappy to see a video you can't learn from.
Mercoid: I think you may have misunderstood the comment by pgfollett. I believe they meant so much was learned in only 7 minutes. A lot of knowledge to "take away" from this
Video would have been x1000 better if no music and we heard some words of wisdom from the master wood worker, yet another opportunity lost by lazy youtube video creators
That pencil trick on bruising the pin board is awesome. Using that for sure!
A pity about the intrusive background music. I would prefer to hear the sound of the saw and chisel
Every other vid I watch, they say to take off as little as possible at a time with the chisel. Here, the master chisels off big chunks so cleanly and efficiently.
great song.
Don’t you enjoy using the tools god gave you ... your hand and ur mind. Another great demonstration of your talents. Take care n
indredible
I'm guessing that 10 people didn't like the belt sander.
Holy cow.
Ugh. Repost without the awful blaring music please. Unwatchable.
Love the video - many thanks - but had to mute the head-banging 'music'.
Fabulous
Bad Boy Becksvoort strikes again. That is a man who has cut a lot of dovetails. Love watching a master of their craft work, so effortless from so much hard work
Master
Using pencil mark to highlight the tight spots on first fitting is really smart. Never seen that before.
Christian, its your video, and well done and who cares about the music. Find some really obnoxious music and the trolls may then bugger off.
loved watching a master at his craft. Whose chisels are you using?
Watching a master at work is mesmerizing. He didn't have to say anything
You know this man is good when Ron Swanson praises him

funny - people know how to leave shitty comments but have no ****ing clue how to use the mute button
Love the belt sander trick.

What kind of clamps are used to secure the wood on the table?
I’ve tried that method with a chisel before. My results were no where near as good. :(. I’m sure it’s the skill and muscle memory (or lack thereof on my part) that was to blame.
The best dovetail video from an amazing craftsman I've ever seen. That is a drawer anyone would be proud to have. Wow.
Well that was an utter pleasure to watch. Thank you.
Brilliant video. It's so nice to see a talented, production-level hand craftsman at work. I'd love to be a fly on the wall in Christian's shop for a few weeks. Every time I watch this, I notice something new.
He knows the wood and how it'll behave without any visible effort. The experience he shows with his hands is amazing to see. Total badass.
Really, really annoying 'intro' muzak all the way through.....
That's a 60-year old Skil 505 Belt Sander, BTW.
Use a soft timber and compress it together. Makes it a lot easier.
The pencil trick new for me. Amazing.
Most beautiful sander i have ever seen.
And idiots wonder why a craftsman built dresser cost thousands and not hundreds. I make weekend size projects and ask a hundred and I get idiots commenting why so much for a few pieces of boards nailed together. ughhhh like i have any use for nails.
Nothing wrong with nails when used sparingly. Many of the masters do and have in the past.
Excellent! Thanks Ben for capturing and sharing these amazing craftsman at work.
Please oh Lord, let me be like this guy when I retire !!! #craftsmen
Oh my god, it's Christian Becksvoort.
Modern master of the shaker style!
Something to aspire to ..... And wonderful to watch! Thanks for sharing.
Amazing! I couldn't stop smiling all the way through the video.
amazing skill , but the belt sander made me cringe a little .
40 bucks for that piece right ther.
True?
Ok, Probly the best dovetail video i've seen yet
So many good videos ruined by music....
Turn the volume down then. We like it
That's a good and interesting way to do it tracing the chisels then you know you're dead-on accurate
I don’t think that is about accuracy, merely a convenience for consistent sizing in layout. And guarantees a perfectly sized tool for splitting out while chopping the sockets.
I like the Buck Rogers belt sander.
great video ruined by annoying music
