Ive been watching this channel for a few years now and still blows me away his ability to run the grain along with everything else... goals! Thank You!!
More stunning art work, I mean wood work from you guys. I guess after you do thousands of dovetails, they all come out perfect like yours. Great matchup on the wood grain. You have produced a legacy set that someone will enjoy even in 200 years.
Check out Rob Cosman, he covers a lot about sharpening hand planes and chisels, as well as using, maintaining and tuning up a hand plane out of the box. Razor sharp hand tools along with a whole lot of correct practice and I believe most wood workers can achieve this level of Craftsmanship, but definitely something that takes an abundance of dedication and passion to get even close to this level of Craftsmanship. IMHO
My favorite channel. I love planes and you have the best ones! Also, realy like the longer video format. I would love to see longer videos with no speed up. But of course, any video is appreciated!
Gosh amighty. You build the best an most beautiful furniture in the world. I know only the wealthy could afford it. But maybe someday i could own one of your beautiful pieces of art.
I can't wait to see what you do in each of the videos you release. I take great pleasure in seeing someone who uses hand tools with such great skill but also utilizes machinery. Most of us just wish we had the patience and ability to learn the skills you possess and show in all of your videos. Thank you.
You are an absolute wood magician! Every time I watch your making, I think it doesn’t get any better than this? Then you start a new project like this one and it goes to whole new level! Thank you for giving the time to show us your work and skills, you are an inspiration to all of us! May I wish you and your co workers & family a very merry Christmas and please stay safe and well in this present crisis. God bless you!
There have been screws in most furniture since the 1400s. There is no more secure way to join the top to the sides than rabbeted blocks screwed in from the bottom. Unless you want to make a keyhole fitted piece, which would take a year and not be as strong anyway...
You are truly in rarified air when it comes to woodworking. It is a pleasure to watch you create these masterpieces. I was wondering if you ever considered doing a video about your sharpening process for your tools. I bet it would be one of your most viewed videos.
I also would love to see a sharpening video. When I plane walnut it behaves like styropor. But you manage to get a glass like finish. Biggest respect ever!
Absolutely first class craftsmanship. I love the combination of machinery and hand tools. Machinery takes the hardest work whilst hand tools finish it off. Plus no music! What! Yes, just the sounds you want to hear. Style is very personal and, for me, visible dovetails detract rather than add. But, that’s just my style.
@@WilliamWBG absolutely the right thing to do. I must say that in my years of making furniture for clients, I came to the conclusion that it was largely the arrogance of many UK makers to almost insist on using dovetails as if dovetails somehow confirmed that you were skilled. I have said before that I doubt that the makers of the 18th and 19th century would increased their costs by making dovetails by hand if the current range of equipment and adhesives had been available then. Anyway, I only ever had one client come back to me about dovetails. This was on a credenza in a modern style. That client asked me to take out “those fussy joints) as he felt they detracted from the clean lines of the rest of the piece. But, the client is King. If they want dovetails and are willing to pay for the labour involved, then great. Making a living from bespoke furniture is hard enough without arguing with paying clients.
buy the right saws, start cutting dove tails that don’t fit right, you learn and keep cutting, they’ll start to fit, you learn some more, then cut more and they’ll fit better, han confidence, along the way, then you’ll develop your own technique and style, and they’ll fit nice nice, and the pieces will look so nice that you can present them to your family and if they are supportive they will praise you for your new talent, if they don’t then you keep at it and do your thing and enjoy the hell out of it because your new girlfriend will appreciate it and have babies with you and you can build furniture for your wife and child and be happy. because that’s what life is all about.....happiness! happiness, from the inside!
He builds furniture on commission from customers request. He’s not building furniture for competition of the most difficult. This is furniture that will will decrease in value. It will be collected for generations. Something you will see on Antiques Roadshow in 100 years
Nothing better on a Saturday morning than a cup of coffee and a new video from Doucette and Wolfe. Absolutely beautiful work. Curious, how long does it take for you to complete such a piece?
Folks, these pieces are breathtakingly beautiful. Well done. One request, could you wear safety glasses when you are working with your power tools? You only get one set of eyes. It would be a shame in your eyesight was to be impacted due to something getting into them because you weren't wearing safety glasses.
Wonderful work. Love watching your videos. Could you please take a bit more about your finishing process? What pound cut do you use for the shellac? How many coats in total? Do you apply with brush, rag, or spray? Thank you so much/
Absolutely stunning. I guess you skip planned in the beginning just to see the grain better for layout? Any advice on building hand tool skills? I assume just keep doing it. 😅
Beautiful work, and obviously highly practised and efficient with the minimum of fuss to achieve perfect accuracy. May I ask, when you use the Knew fretsaw to cut out the waste on the tailboards, do you then have to go back and clean up with a dovetail chisel, or can you move straight to marking the pins?
Very nice! Love your work! Quick question: don't those doors in the credenza need to be stabilized somehow? Sorry if it's a trivial question.. I'm just starting in woodworking and everywhere I look, they say that wide board like that will move/warp and need to be stabilized - either with a frame, breadboard ends, sliding dovetails, etc. Thank you!
Very pretty, well done! I was wondering if you could describe some of your tool choices - I noticed a LN 4 1/2, a Veritas low angle smoother, and a LN 9. How have you set these up and for what specific task? For example, do you have a lower bevel angle on the 9, hence using that to smooth the endgrain rather than the low angle smoother? Do you sharpen them at a specific bevel angle? Similarly, is the 4.5 set up for a task that the low angle smoother isn't as well suited to? (Or perhaps the size just makes it better for smoothing the faces, I believe that's mostly what I saw though I don't remember exactly.)
Beautiful work and stunning walnut. Curious how many hours you spent on making such a piece? Also, what is this weird low angle plane to clean the pins of the frame and the drawers, I don’t recognize it. Thanks !
do you find solid drawers won't move as well during spring/summer? I would expect with the sides expanding and contracting they would be tighter in warm, moist weather and looser in cold, dry weather. Do you build in different tolerances depending on where you're shipping the furniture to?
I've always wanted to know what the plane is called that you're using around the 5 min mark to plane the end grain on the pins. It looks like an LN product but I can't find it on their website.
@@tylerscott305 That's what I thought but can't find anything about it online. I think you're totally spot-on, however - in their "block front chest building process" video you can see him using what I think is the same tool as a shooting board plane at the 2:40" mark.

What is the boxed plane you are using on the dovetail ends? I have not seen one like it and with your address, it might be a test model from Lie-Nielson. Curious as to its intended use. Awesome work.
I would like to ask why you run a hand plane over the timber after you have done the dovetails. You have already jointed the timber, surely a hand plane isn’t going to do a better job than the jointer.

Not being dramatic when I say this might be the best furniture maker in the country
Love that Door Closing “The End”.
Its such a pleasure to see planing instead of sanding.
Then tune in to Rob Cosman. He handplanes absolutely everything many times over. And it is great work also.
I've watched a couple of your videos at this point and I am quite inspired by your work.
That’s more than talent. It’s MAGIC!
If there’s anyone more talented that this man, I’d love to see their work. I’m always left speechless after watching every video.
This talented man probably built his own crib to sleep in !!! Truly talented.
That grain configuration on the front is absolutely stunning!!
Man I remember watching you before I picked up my first Woodworking tool. Still amazes me just as much today!
You are really a great artist. Greetings from sicignano degli alburni italy. A colleague who admires you a lot.
Thanks Enrico. It’s very much appreciated!

There is something so satisfying about the sound of a properly sharpened plane blade! Really nice work.
Next level skills. The precision in just his sharpening skills would take a long time to master. Those planes cut so nice......
I know! The amount of figuring in that wood is nuts and he just wisps away at it like its poplar with no knots.
Who in their right mind would thumbs down this video? Great work. I could watch for hours.
Simply the best.

Thank you! I lucked out with this Walnut!

He needs to provide a tutorial on operating and maintaining a hand plane. Best planing I have ever seen. Must be incredibly sharp.

Dammit, i missed you so much! Have been watching you since 2013.
Great job with the sequential grain, especially for the doors on the credenza.
What a spectacular project! That walnut is out of this world. Awesome craftsmanship. I just figured out we are in the same town!
walnut sure looks purdy donit paw !
as wide as those boards are the dovetails fit nice. great job.
Again on a level few ever obtain, outstanding! Great hand tool skills, I’m great full for the video’s you present, thank you. Please keep them coming!
Indescribably jaw dropping!!
Wow, as always. I would love to see a video on you sharpening your tools.

You guys are second to none!
Thanks Daniel! Its very much appreciated
Beautifully done and no hardware, screws or nails that I can see.
And no fancy drawer slides either :) Who needs them when a craftsman can make them fit like that!
@@RobRobertson1000 He just uses his machines to work six sides of each board slightly oversize and then it's all hand tools.
There have been screws in most furniture since the 1400s. There is no more secure way to join the top to the sides than rabbeted blocks screwed in from the bottom. Unless you want to make a keyhole fitted piece, which would take a year and not be as strong anyway...

I bet he uses apprentices to do the sharpening. If not, he should. Sharpening is always the first skill learned in an apprenticeship

Wonderful, thank you for sharing. Really appreciate the craftsmanship you demonstrate.
Fantastic work!!!
Thank you! Cheers!
Nice! Love your jointer!
Great design and work. Liked the bench extension you used when planning the drawers.
Beautiful!
Fantastic work
Excellent work,lovely wood
May its life be filled with coasters and children on leashes. 👌🏼♥️
But it’s built like a rock. Coasters, yes. Children couldn’t harm this without some utensils, like markers or paint
Lovely work.
Awesome! And what a wood!!!
Beautiful work.

That looks great! What is the square box looking plane and what is it typically used for?
Dear sir, What was that plane used on the end grain at 3:55? Wonderful pieces by the way. Thanks for taking us along.
are the walls of the fingers holes 90 degrees or did you make a slight slope on the inside to aid in gripping the holes?
I would be interested if you would include in your description references to the various planes you use in your very fine work. Your craft is envious!
