- spend an hour with some of the world's finest craftsmen in their own shops as they demonstrate tools, techniques and shortcuts that make you a better woodworker.
John Eakes shows how to get the most from a table saw and offers several shop made jigs.
Frank Klaus z demonstrates a fool proof way of making beautiful hand cut dovetails.
Mike Dunbar shows how to restore and sharpen a hand plane bought at a flea market.
Joe Truini presents an ingenious router jig not found in any owners manual.
This was the best video presentation of wood working ever. All the craftsman on this video deserves the title of Master Craftsman!!! I learned a lot from this show, ( the secret of wood working), thank you all for Sharing your craft.👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🤙🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼
Jesus Christ Frank Klausz is a mad man. I have never seen dovetails made so accurately by eye. I couldn't believe it when he just went to town making the pins with nothing but the gauge line.
A good friend, who's no longer with us, was born in Germany, around 1934. On his 14th birthday, his father took him around to some local businesses, looking for one that would take him on as an apprentice. A carpentry shop took him on, and he worked as a carpenter till his death, a couple of years ago. He told me stories about his apprenticeship, working with a couple of other young apprentices, doing all the menial tasks around the shop. They spent weeks and months and years, sawing rough stock into boards. Later they would be given the chance to plane boards to thickness. After that they would learn to put rough carcasses together, and to build other things that were simple, and didn't require a lot of skill. As their skills expanded to include sawing, planing, chiseling, etc, they were also expected to maintain those tools. They became the shop saw sharpeners, plane and chisel sharpeners. They were each assigned to a master carpenter, and they called him 'Master'. He told me the first jobs they were given, to work on their own, and to fill contracts, was to build beer boxes for a couple of the local breweries. These were simple wooden boxes, that would hold four, one litre bottles. They were dovetailed on the corners, with two dividers inside, crossing each other with a half lap joint. One of the dividers was higher than the other, and had a handle cut into it. They would mill the lumber from rough stock, mass produce all the separate pieces, cut all the joints, and assemble them all with no glue or fasteners. They would get contracts for 500, or 1,000, or 2,000, at a time. And, of course, time was money, so there was no fooling around. He was, by far, the best carpenter I've ever known. Watching, and hearing, Frank Klausz always makes me think of my friend.
The table saw jigs are brilliant. Great videos on dovetails, plane maintenance and jigs for a router. Good stuff.
Inspirational. I value craftsmanship and these guys know what it is.
I specially like the Jon Eakes round holding excentric lever tenoning jig and will make one very soon, thanks for uploading.
This is a joy to watch a true craftsman at work- Thank You
Thank you very much for uploading this rare treasure!
This has to be the simplest explanation and tutorial for box/finger joints.....thank you sir.
THANK You so much! You made this dove tailing look so simple. What a great montage of wood working tricks. Im saving this in my favourites.
I love to see woodworking and learn all those tricks; It is fan to watch... !!
Hi Mike great to see you work by hand I enjoy iT Every time again.
Thanks Henk
it is very helpful to others who not have advance tools but with passion for this work.(woodworking)
Definitely worth the hour in my opinion.
So cool! I owned this VHS and wanted to lookup the dovetail bit. Thank you thank you!!!
Also, great master Frank Kluasz for the dovetails video. I have taken a class at a college for dovetails but never got a round to doing it, you have made it very easy to follow, will definitely try your method.
This has given me a lot of information that I truly needed. Thank you very much for sharing your tips and tricks! Now I'm ready to make some boxes!
Wow best dovetail video out there.
Love your work Frank
This is like therapy for me.
Excellent video on woodworking. Thank you for sharing. I am using this video for reference on many of my woodworking projects.
Brilliant video, thanks for posting.
Wonderful compilation. Thank you!
Very helpful, thanks for posting.
That was excellent. Hard to believe that was from almost 30 years ago
Have you seen the furniture made 300 years ago ?
Your notions of time and progress might benefit from some recalibration :-)
Amazing. Thanks for sharing :)
Thanks great info - I enjoyed all Demo's most imformative
Great video.
A well tuned plane is a joy to use.

I really like the segment on the planes.
Not HD? It's, um, free. If you wanna learn, who cares. This is good stuff.
The table saw guy explaining his jigs is flat out brilliant. The German guy on handmade dovetails is totally old school and makes me want to try it. The bit on planes was thorough but...not my thing, too expensive. The router guy's jigs were ok.
These aren't YT pros showing off their super shops and all the free tools they get. These are professional woodworkers doing a one-off presentation for Time Life Video back in the day.
Walter Kelly - Takes me back to the 70s and VHS.
The dovetail guy is not German, he is Hungarian, and a product of traditional craftsman guild type education in Europe. Frank has a Master Letter in his craft. I know because my father had the same thing, but as a Mason. By the way, they were good friends. I spent a couple of weeks one summer as a teen helping at Frank's shop. Still recall stripping old ball & claw chair legs with steel-wool and paint remover. Not much fun in Jersey's humidity, and wearing apron with chemical gloves. It was a real neat environment to see production level cabinetry work.
Frank does have a very easy going way of teaching dovetail making. Having taken classes on the subject, I really do appreciate his take the mark-up and the chiseling. Just get's it done as quick as possible. Not a wasted step. Awesome!

You are very observant because Hungarian is correct, and the native language of Hungary is Magyar as you may well know. .... And may my former Hungarian mother-in-law rest in peace.
We have that it common. I was born there and am fluent. I also translate recipes, especially those involving pastries.

I agree with the quality issue of the video but the segments were well worth watching. As mentioned in a prior comment by Walter Kelly, I'm going to try and cut some dovetails by hand. I hope they are very difficult or I going to be pissed off over purchasing my Leigh Jig.
this is so wonderful.
just great!
Thank you
That plane guy is just plane good.
good video thank you for sharing some of these thing I have been struggling with
Me gusta mucho el aprendizaje.
Excelentes videos.
Gracias
Luis Aguilar me gusta 🙃
excellent descriptive guy.
great good cool....
thanks
Years ago I started making tables, chairs, swings, cabinets, jewelry boxes you name it and we made it, My wife and myself. Well after finishing one project that would take any where from one day to a few days, so I started thinking why don't I make a jig for every piece of wood I cut and finished. Well my wife wood get frustrated at how much time I would take in making a jig for that certain piece of wood and even tell me I'm waisting my valuable on that certain jig, because sometimes it would take all day or longer. But let me tell all of you when you got that jig perfect you could actually a project so fast and be precise and beautiful. So told me that she would never open her mouth again one as it use to take 20- 30 minutes to build a stand for a six foot swing and kill your knees on the concrete floor. When I ask her to time me on one that I had a jig for, she said what is that and I told her she just laughed and told me it would take all day just to figure it out. She said go! And in 58 seconds the stand was completly finished and perfectly square, down right beautiful. She said Honey the jigs are the only way to go. They speed the job up sometimes from a day to just minutes and the finished product is perfect and the next one the same as the first. That's how jigs are made to speed the job up and take all the work out of it...
"So told me that she would never open her mouth again" Now THAT didn't happen did it?
@@darrowfortheprosecution1404 show her how its done
old timers video, from the era when MADE IN USA was the real deal.

My “mirror finish” has always been a 32,000 grit wet polish...(no wonder it takes me so long!)
Make sure your stones are flat too! It is important also :)

Yes
And here I thought dovetails were delivered to master woodworkers by storks on the backs of unicorns. The things you learn from your elders.... now if only someone would teach me how to make that magic smoke I let out of my PC last weekend I'd be set!
Watch japanese joins and dovetails you could drawn any shape for the tail they can show how to cut a mirror negative perfect hand made perfect custom joinery. Almost as enlightening as this vid all but eliminates dovetail joinery. Heck joining period.
18:21 woodgasm :D
The dovetail guy makes it look easy. How many thousands of joints has he done in his life to be that fast?
Definitely thousands. If only it were that easy for a beginner. I did my first two dovetails two days ago. I still haven't quite mastered it, but I will try his technique out to see if it works for me. Making accurate cuts with a saw every single time is key, and having a sharp chisel. Practice, practice, practice.
Would you use a rust dissolver? (Place section)
i have the original on VHS tape...
the video IS poor quality; as it was converted from a bad NTSC (USA format) video into PAL for europe.
now you know why we brit's nicknamed the NTSC standard 'never the same colour twice' ;0)
I was always jealous of the Brit's RGB-SCART, but never jealous of their 50hz and PAL blackbars.
your disclammer at the front is a lot of crap...Video is very educational/ I liked it and learned some things especially about the hand plane.
thanks for sharing Archive Ausvhs
The table saw guy's name is Jon Eakes! great master to follow.
Using rabbit joints always results in glueing end grain to end grain or end grain to long grain. So what is the point in using these joints?
The benefit is the huge amount of face-to-face surface, and as Takes noted, the bridal joint is 2X as strong because it has 2X the glue area.
I was talking about the last video starting at 48:00. There is no face-to-face area at all. Just end-grain to long-grain. The bridle joint as shown in the first video (not bridal, despite of the similarity of inserting a part in a slot) is very strong indeed. That is because the increase of long-grain to long-grain area. But end-grain does not glue well. Almost not at all using antique glue. Although with modern glue everything might hold more or less.
Now I see what you're curious about. You're right about that rabbet having a lot of end-grain. Three things to remember: 1) the rabbet captures the other part in 2 directions, which when combined with 2) the panels prevents the joint from racking/rotating and distributes loads to the other frame members. This combined action is very strong, but his little boxes are doomed to failure because the panels are fully adhered/connected to the rails and as such the parts will undergo differential expansion/contraction and then blow out the rabbet and end joints, and/or crack the panels. 3) The reason that his demonstration is workable is that his box is small with very small loads and it won't get worked hard, but I wouldn't expect it to last very long.
I would prefer the sound of the tools to the noise you force upon us. The material covered is excellent. Lose the noise.
great stuff, stop with the film quality jabs. It’s perfectly fine for instructional.
What happened to 1 to 6 or 1 to 7 dovetails? Are you telling me I built my dovetail-gauge in vain?? I'm confused... ;)
$25 for a used plane ?! They're pretty easy to find for less than that. Informative video though.
twoweary the video is 25 years old idiot

Ahh, nothing like the quality of a copy of a copy of a vhs with the tracking off.
Thank you! Might have been a good/great vid but the quality was so bad it was unwatchable. I have no idea how anyone could tolerate this!

There is nothing wrong with your smartphone. Do not attempt to adjust the picture. We are controlling transmission. If we wish to make it louder, we will bring up the volume. If we wish to make it softer, we will tune it to a whisper. We will control the horizontal. We will control the vertical. We can roll the image, make it flutter. We can change the focus to a soft blur or sharpen it to crystal clarity.
uselles
Dovetails are good as long as the glue is good.
francos, ma tu cacofonizzi?

You did a poor job on this video you should be a shamed of yourself.
You did a poor job on your grammar and spelling. You should be ashamed of yourself.
hahahaha
I was going to watch this video, BUT I AM NOT, the viewing quality is trash !!!
Thank you
