Chris Ramsay - Impossible Dovetail Puzzle: • Solving Three IMPOSSIB...
Inspired by Chris Ramsay and other puzzlers I made my version of the impossible dovetail puzzle. But being a woodworker I obviously had to make it a cutting board...and being ambitious I expanded it to three dovetails instead of the traditional one. Hope you enjoyed the video!

What puzzle or hidden feature project should I build next??
COMMENT BELOW!
I'd love to see a chair with a hidden cup holder!
While watching this, a mad idea hopped into my fevered brain, hollow out a portion inside to store things, your fave knife, or some such. use magnets to keep it togther.
Oragami, of course 😅
Something weird
I'd like to see a fireplace mantle with some hidden features.
This could be a Chess board, with the Chess pieces stored inside in hollowed out perfectly-fitting sections. Considering the Chess world, it would be a way more lucrative side hustle than cutting boards lol
I was gonna say with knives inside. But I like the way you think!!!
Of course, the dovetails would have to be very short, so as to allow you to slide them together or apart with the chessmen inside. IOW, you would have to cut out the center 90% of the dovetails, leaving maybe just an inch of the outer portions intact. No problem, the effect will be the same. And it will be less likely to get stuck over time. But your suggestion might pose a serious arrangement problem with 32 correct-sized pieces.
In this video, the guy could have done that instead of taking all that time sanding the interior portions of the dovetails. But since this is a cutting board, maybe that wouldn't be such a good idea. Someone might break it with one whack of a cleaver.
This was in the middle of a bunch of chess-video recommendations. Possibly, here are a lot of chess players.
@@stephenleader2792 ugh hollowed out cutting board? you're asking for buildup of bacteria.
This is genius!
That looks great. I've seen puzzles like that, but they're made a little differently. The grooves are curved rather than straight. To put it together, the parts have to be twisted 1/4 turn to assemble it. Good luck trying to build that.
Best takeaway: 1. Relieve the insides to reduce friction and 2: take the time to put on the end protector boards to protect from blowout. Well worth the time and effort. I don't know that you can ever "batch cut" these but semi-hand-hewn results speak for themselves. Nice job!
My father HAS to see this. He will love it.
He's been doing woodwork as a hobby following an accident that rendered him unable to work construction.
Thank you for the great upload. I'm definately going to check out the rest of your channel
hey Brad! not only are you a fantastic woodworker and stand-up guy, you are also so unabashedly yourself. which is what makes you one of my favourite makers on TH-cam! never stop being you!
I mean, when you cackle like a hyena you kinda just have to lean into it or stop making videos, lol. Thank you for the kind words and support!
Always be yourself. Unless you can be Batman.....then always be Batman!!!
If you hollowed out the center you could have a really cool sweet box that the kids would never find ;)
or maybe teach your brats to not steal...
Nice storage for some knives.

First time viewer - really impressed!
Most people would've hidden the footage of their errors, but I'm a firm believer in learning more from mistakes than success. If it works first time, you don't learn anything about the fine details.
Definitely subbing! Looking forward to seeing more of your "back catalogue".
Cheers
I don't understand the pleasure to work with industrial machines. The gift is to make all that with hand tools. And that's art.
Phil, Belgium.
You're child like excitement is really refreshing. You live what you do and I enjoy watching it!
dude...that's killer!
thanks, Jonny! I'm loving it
@@martycyst6797 you underestimate the killing ability of wood
What a payoff! Incredible work. The decision to just sand some relief in the dovetails was such a great moment. I love when that kind of insight comes *during* a project, rather than afterwards :)
And to think there is a Japanese Master Craftman who can do that with a chisel to the same level of precision on TH-cam.
I know, right? Programming the CNC is difficult in its own way, but not nearly as impressive as a traditional craftsman doing it with hand tools. TBH it was a bit of a letdown, seeing that thumbnail and then it turns out it's all done by machine. Almost like cheating, somehow.
Brad, that's so awesome! Great job!
Love your videos as well my man. Dry sense of humor is on point! 🍻
Is there a possible challenge in the future for Fisher's Shop? Come on do it for a Yooper.
thanks, Drew! It was a fun one.
fishing ahop
@@Fixthisbuildthat Brad huh more like chad
Brad, I noticed you tried the dry fit with little succes. Having the male and female parts go together using lubricants have always been a succes for me. And my partner.
only Makers can have a conversation like this and not know whether it's serious advice or full on middle school humor :)
Lmao!!! I love it!!
Awesome work! You could add a spring loaded pin inside to lock it in place. Or, make it so you can unlock the pin with a magnet. That could help make a great hidden compartment (like others suggested) accessible.
It's not about the dovetail you made it but it is all about your amazing skills and personality. Love it!
Just going to say, you have opened my eyes to how amazing carpenters are and how much work can go into these beautiful pieces! I have gained a new found appreciation for the time, equipment and skill needed.
Thank you.
This is not the work of a carpenter; it is the work of a woodworker even if the CNC is used. Carpentry is a whole different type of woodwork, but I am not trying to diminish the work of carpenters as that is also a special skillset all of its own.
@@richardrodgers1883 Neat, although could you tell me the differences between them and where they overlap in their professions?
Brad-LOVE this video...your enthusiasm, willingness to share your mistakes and how you solve them, and the awesome result of your hard work with this awesome looking board! Thanks for a great use of 20 minutes!
Thank you, Mindy! Glad you're liking the new format.
I've seen this design so many times but I had no idea how they were actually put together. Glad I learned something cool today!
My dad was 6th generation cabinetmaker/jointer. I’ve seen some crazy work he did back before computers. Most of his work was hand cut joinery and it was pretty awesome.
I’ve never seen 3 like you’re doing in this video and it’s pretty awesome stuff! I like how you said you were a perfectionist and I know how you feel as I’m one myself.
Awesome job!
I love your work cheerfully. Really nice job. Thanks for teaching. 👋👋👋
And i like your work and i am an obligate follower of you .
Thank you! Cheers!
This is how every morning should start. A cup of coffee and a new "Brad" video. I have been waiting for this since the tease on IG. Thanks!
Glad you liked it!
I can't tell you the smiles I had on this video. I was in the moment with you, we all were. Wow what a fun project.
guys like this need more respect for how smart they are.
If you really want to make this the impossible dovetail, do this without the benefit of using the CNC. That would be super impressive!
It's actually super simple. Lookup my other comment.
This is epic!!! Best chopping board video I’ve ever seen by a long shot. Thanks you for sharing 👍
How many chopping board videos have you seen?
@@heckinggi6034 There are a few people doing woodwork on TH-cam and a chipping boards are a popular item but this is by far the best one I’ve seen. he is super engaging and obviously put a lot of work into his videos.
@@CafeRacerGarage 👎
this ad format is fantastic and should be valued more by the companies that choose to advertise with you
Finally, a craftsman who knows what an adverb is and knows when to use them.
Yes because that gets you so far. LMAO
I really like the process of you figuring it out as you go along.
I would do a hidden compartment on the inside of this ^^
Gotta say, loved watching the learning process with the Cnc router and fusion. I took 3 years of Cnc machining classes and it really brought me back to my first few runs of the Haas tm1.
I am so glad you showed your ...."miscalculations" [screwups]
I don't care to watch guys that never make a mistake...on video.
So thanks for the honesty
I think what's even better about this is the fact that if you're chopping multiple things up you now have TWO cutting boards instead of one. Could you imagine pulling that bad boy out at a party when someone asks to help and taking it apart in front of them.
good luck getting it to fit back together after using them seperate
@@heygek2769 unless you're hammering on the top of them like a cave troll, it won't deform the wood enough to affect the fit to the point of being impossible to put them together
@@smahhah moisture
@@heygek2769 not all uses for a cutting board involve mass amounts of liquid
@@smahhah don't need mass amounts with a tight fit like that.
i love the straight up brainstorming on the fly and the reactions to the final boards joining together!! seriously hilarious! and what a great design. you should do a "(wo)man vs cnc" competition with some kind intricate joinery and see how that goes. great vid!
The reason why I love your channel is because you remind me of my favorite second cousin. He is a genius, and so are you. He is hilarious, and so are you. The two of you have the same quirky sense of humor, and you both look alike. I don’t get to spend enough time with him, so I come to your channel and hang out with you instead. Hope that’s OK.
holy cow, who would even use a cutting board this beautiful!?? I'd never use it and just display it!
Super cool!
thanks, Brother!
Female adult film stars about to climax --- 12:19.
The work and the amount of detail in the project was insane. Loved it!
I like the way you leave in things in the video that don't go quite right, none of us are perfect and sometimes its a case of trial and error
I think the best part of this is watching the learning process. I just got an XCarve setup so I look forward to more projects like this.
You'll make some cool things! Definitely look at Fusion 360 in the future, it's so powerful
Beautiful!!! Can't say I've ever seen one of those. 😳
Thanks! I've neve seen one at this scale either so had to do it :)
That you put a clip of Get Smart would have earned even a bad video a thumbs up.
But this is a great project. A wonderful introduction to your channel.
Thanks!
With your sophisticated equipment, your woodworking projects appear simple to make but of high standards and quality.
That was amazing. i can't imagine the stress of "Do I do just one more cut?!?" and hoping it all works out... What I think would be awesome is to carve out recesses inside to put like cheese knives or other cutlery so you can make it a whole set (assuming you leave it as unglued to be opened in the future (although any moisture inside would likely mean it will never slide right perfectly again)
I really like the experimenting aspect of this, there are so many videos which show an immaculate process, they don't show some of the snags that occur when making slightly more complex pieces. When time permits I will have a go at this!
I appreciate content creators who make AND SHOW that they make mistakes. Too many times, I see vids that are just "Do this, do that do wop and DONE!"
Great. You made something cool. You're so much better at making things than others. wooo for you..
Showing the mistakes shows humanity and let's people take projects on more realistically.
Clever design for a cutting board!
You took a subject that has been beaten to death (cutting boards) and made it totally new. Very impressive! Great work as well.
yeah, it's hard to put a new spin on cutting boards right?
Looks really cool
Oof
@@shefsufla ?
LOVE the beginning. I can just smell that wonderful hardwood!
Simply gorgeous final product! Wow!
And when I was at school,we had to do this with pen,paper,saw and chisel.PROPER WOOD WORKING,
Would be even cooler if you added a hidden compartment in the middle of it, otherwise, awesome work!
Yes, for a Glock 19
@@bobk2966 hold on mister let me just say my final goodbyes to my favorite cutting board...
I wish I could genuinely pay him to make the stuff he makes like the desks etc etc
Imagine making an knife compartment in the inside.
Amazing work.
This whole thing was a great pleasure to watch - superb workshop kitted out with no expense spared, and a dedicated craftsman in charge. For the amateur watching this, it's like dreaming in technicolor . Not only is the price of equipment way beyond reach, but to learn how to use the computer controlled milling equipment I would imagine at least two years dedicated involvement at a good quality trade school might be a good way to start. Anyway we learned the trick of the two-way dovetail. And if we want to buy such a cutting board, I doubt if we'd get much change if we offered a $1000. But - Hey - we can always go on dreaming !
Route out a cavity in each of the high sections to store knives
Him describing pieces of wood as male and female is giving emotions I never felt before
when I learned about male and female electric plugs - I was truly shocked. It made my hair stand on end.
It is nice to have all the equipment to work with. I have a small shop and before my wife died she bought me some equipment to do wood working for the house. I can do what you did with just my saws and router table. She would have been so pleased that I can do the impossible in my small shopt.
What would be neat on this build is do some hidden pockets on the inside to house your favorite knives.
And here me thinking you were going to do some old fashioned woodworking.
Oh man. If you hogged out the centers of both of those boards, that would be the ultimate hideaway for something valuable
Money....
But more importantly... SWEETS
That little ode to S&G was so funny!
I've made some pretty time consuming 20 + hour cutting boards so I can really appreciate how much effort your put into this project. Editing clips doesn't do the effort justice.
since it opens you should carve a slot into the center for knife storage or something
Under-rated idea
You could've just made a larger panel, cut the dove tails // with the sides faster with a regular router, then cut off the 4 corners at a 45 deg angle to get a new but smaller square. It's faster but the the trade-off is more waste.
Amazing craftmanship.
It is one thing to understand the math and angles required.
It is another to make it reality.
Enjoy ALL your vids, but this one is special.
What’s sad is that most people won’t be able to appreciate this. Most people won’t look at it and notice that those are called dovetails and that when they’re opposing each other it shouldn’t be possible, they’ll just see it as a “design edge”. To most of us it’s awesome though, great job, a lot of work though😂
It's so beautiful!
Like others, I really love your pacing, editing and how your enthusiasm really shines through! As a viewer, I can follow the process of you learning and honing your skills and it's so inspiring!
Thank you 💚
This is amazing, you are so good in working with wood. Everything is easy when I look how you work, but when I start it is 🤔🙄😫
thanks!
Working out thousandths of an inch rather than just saying 0.8mm 🤣🙌🏼 Murica! Great video, sweet carpentry skills
PEOPLE LIKE YOU NEED TO GET more subscribers you desrve them love people like you you do cool things
What an awesome video. I know basically nothing about woodworking but I could follow along well enough because you started with simple examples of the technique you were using and then built on that.
I do have one question. If you were to make more of these wouldn't it make sense to just program the router to remove some extra material from the interior, or even as some people have suggested make the whole thing hollow, leaving a space where super secret recipes could be kept?
Im the 901th like it was that moment when satisfying goes wrong
💪💪
Crazy how God just gives us all-natural legos like this
There are many clever people. Then there are extremely clever people. That was amazing. Thanks.
I would have loved to see a secret butcher knife compartment inside the cutting board!!
I was gonna say that same thing
Like a hollowed out book? Yes please!
That’s what a CNC is for!
That was absolutely amazing work, I enjoyed watching! Keep up the great work!
Never been so amazed at 2 pieces of wood. You did a fantastic job of it. Do MORE!
That is so cool! I love how complex that looks but it operates so simply.
Make a hidden compartment inside it :D
I was going to suggest this, too. It would be a perfect place to put a bread knife or meat cleaver - or both, if the board is big enough.
Yeah, I really feel like this is a missed opportunity. Maybe a knife storage cut out in the center?
Wow, i never knew how they got that design in there. Looks amazing! Great work! Subbed. 👍
This is an excellent show of building an impossible dovetail cutting board and I love it!😍
The original dovetail cutting board made me think of a neat idea for a chess set. You could use the thicker wedges on the female piece to make space for the storage of chess pieces. Use the magnet closure solution you came up with and make the playing surface out of square end grain. I think that could look very nice.
When I was in my vocational training, I programmed a little curve instead of a straight line (around 0,02 - 0,03mm away from the straight line)
So I reduced the friction a lot
Only the last cm was completely straight
Tbh, I made it from metal (brass and copper to be exact) but it should also work with wood
8:50 one sneeze and you're cleaning for a week
The pure joy you radiate when you get it to work makes me happy.
This is pretty cool because you can also turn it into 2 different cutting boards
Very fun, cool build! Questions: why the drum sander THEN surfacing bit? Does the surfacing bit leave a cleaner, finish-ready surface than the drum sander or are there what appear to be ridges to be sanded off after the surfacing bit? What (surfacing) bit did you use?
the drum sander can leave a minimal amount of snipe at times and the gouges from the sandpaper are pretty deep and would make the sliding difficult
Build yourself a shelf for just a 10$!
*using hardware worth 50 000 $
Haha..exactly!!!
“Hello black walnut my old friend…”
Mill out the center of the inside surface of each piece, leaving solid 3" border; and you will have an "impossible safe"! ( then keep the whole thing inside your REAL safe! )
That was one awesome video!
did you really just try a Simon and Garfunkel reference! That made me LOL
hehehe, just seemed to fit
New title: "I learn how to use Fusion 360"
So satisfying when they slide together.
My wife would LOVE that, and she wouldn't even understand just how insane it is. It LOOKS awesome and that would have her sold. Then I'd spend hours trying to explain to her just how "impossible" it is, with her saying "whatever, I just bought it because I liked how it looked".
May I suggest something, use metrical system and you'll see that it will fit!!!
Always! 👍
Metric or English does not matter! You still have to design and test for a good fit.
I’m not a wood movement freak, but you’ve gotta let us know if this thing holds up! Especially if you actually finish it and use it in the kitchen.
Hi, as a Journeyman Toolmaker, novice woodworker, you might want to climb mill a few superficial passes to cut against the wood, keeps the outside wood from splintering. Thanks for the video.
NO WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!!!!!!!!!!!
The awesomidity (I like to make up new words when I find something of particular amazement) of that cutting board is impossible to verbalize! At Sur La Table, or Crate & Barrel that would probably sell for $750.00, AT LEAST.
You look at the beauty and think WTH?
How on earth did they do that!?!?!
From a certain angle, one of the sides looks 3-D! And I thought my cutting board, with 5 exotic (2 from Africa) woods was cool! Hellz-bellz! I took one look at yours and threw mine in the fireplace!

That really and truly is a work of art.
