In addition to all of our regular builds, we are beginning a series of online class topics in woodworking. They will be nicely packed lessons that include things such as joinery techniques, making money woodworking, wood and adhesive selection, tool use, order of operations and much more.
This is one of those. I will teach you how to make through dovetails, and an associated keepsake box. Since I am a power tool user, almost all of my work is in that line, and this is no exception. I respect the woodworkers who like to use traditional hand cut dovetail joinery, and I myself learned to do it almost 30 years ago. It’s great. But that’s not what this is.
In this course, you will learn to cut dovetails with a router, and a dovetail jig. Machine cut dovetails are flawless, and every bit as nice and pretty as handcut. The difference is, that I can teach you to make perfect dovetails in 30 minutes, instead of months of practice. Dovetails have long been considered one of the pinnacle achievements in woodworking. If you could make a perfect dovetail joint, then by default you must be a good woodworker. So, I thought it appropriate to start my online classes here. With the through-dovetail.
We hope you will follow along as we upload other classes in woodworking. Please subscribe if you don’t want to miss any, and if you click the bell, you will get notified each time we upload a new one.

Great video! Very easy to follow. Time for me to buy a jig. You make it look easy!
Thanks Don! There is a link to the exact one I use in the description. If you get it, and try, but get stuck, you email me, and I’ll walk you through it.

Hm
Jim. Great video's...BUT YOU NEED TO GET YOUR DAUGHTERS SOME MANICURES BECAUSE THEIR NAILS LOOK TERRIBLE.. JUST SAYIN
@@thomasenriquez6840 hi hi
I am 83 years old ,and just took up woodworking a year ago ,have purchased most all the tools I need ,and watched many ,many videos on woodworking ,but I have to say you are the greatest ,I love the way you take the time to explain as you go.I just subscribed to your site ,and will be a constant watcher from this day forward ,I have the same dovetail jig as you and am going to watch your tutorial on through dovetails right now ,thank you for what you do ,and keep up the good work, Dave Thomas
Hi Dave. That is very kind. Thank you!
Instilling confidence and clear understanding in woodworking.
Glad you took the time to show how you set up the Dovetail Jig.
Thanks for watching!
Thank You very much indeed. My dovetail jig has lain unused for 50 years. Ain't divorce grand. Your explanation is so clear compared to others and explains what to use when one has lost the cutting blade assemblies which fitted an electric drill.
I’ve been making a lot of boxes lately and you made me get out my dove tail jig and make a few boxes with this type of joint.
wish I could thumbs up again. a great refresher on dovetails!
Thank you my friend!!
Thanks, James. Beautiful family.
Sunday morning coffee with the King family....Nice treat. I enjoyed it. Thanks
Good morning Jimbo! Thank you very much!
Good, clear instructions. I bought "A matched pair, side by each" of 4212's separately in the mid/late '90's then added the 4215 miniature template a couple of years later at the old shop and they all work extremely well. They're great for cookie-cutter cabinets, boxes, etc., projects for the shop and so forth. Now, with a smaller shop, yet, with many additional chisels, hand saws, bench planes, "And more!", they're still useful on occasion. (As you may have surmised, I'm a firm believer in the philosophy, "Its impossible to have too many tools", etc.) As the former "Guitar Doctor" for Stars Guitars in San Francisco, CA., Paduk is one of my favorite woods. In fact, I even have the totes and knobs on my Jack, Fore and Jointer planes made from it.
I watched no fewer than a dozen videos on how to use dovetail jigs before I stumbled upon this one. By far the best. Thanks!
Hi Matt. Thank you!
I’m just getting into wood working. You are the most extraordinary woodworking person I have ever seen. All your work I have seen had a Lotta detail and look very very nice. I wish I would be able to work with you for about a week doing project. My grand daughter wants me to make her a rocking chair. This is one of my goals. Oh I love your work.
another great video James thanks a lot from the UK
Thank you!
Probably the most complete and clearest woodworking video I've ever viewed.
What a wonderful and calm video. Thank you very much for your posts.
This will be a great Xmas gift for my granddaughter. Thank you.
I just got my Porter Cable dovetail jig the other day and yesterday was a very unsuccessful day with it, this morning I seen this video and let me tell you I was so happy that you're explaining step by step has your building the Box, what a great video so I subscribed to your Channel thank you.
By far, the best dovetail tutorial I've ever seen. Thanks.
Hi Tom! Thank you very much! I hope you will come back later and check out some of my other Online Class videos. ~James
Great video on the keep-safe box. There's so much clarity when you explain how its built, rather on all your wood working project that i have seen. I have been looking at your videos for near two years. I am not a full-time wood worker and more often engaged in the production of local mill lumber. However there's an unwavering interest in starring my own wood working. I would really appreciate winning some thing made by you.
"Starting" ...correction
That truly is a beautiful box! Whoever ends up with it, will be the luckiest person ever! Beautiful project!
Thanks so much for the tutorial on how to use the Porter Cable jig. It was so helpful.
I liked the detailed instructions on using the porter cable dovetail jig.
Great job my friends. Nice you have the girls learning wood working too. My 11 yr old daughter and 14 yr old son are learning too.
i enjoy your videos and commentary; i especially like how your family is involved
Nice project. Your instruction using the dovetail jig is great. Thank you.
Beautiful box you are a teacher of craftsmanship and art
Excellent video again, no Facebook but good luck to those that can enter
I will put your name in the pool for the box giveaway. Thank you for watching.
All of the boxes looked great from Papa Bear all the way through the littlest bear.
God Bless my friend.
Thank you Frank.
Very clear instruction and easy to follow, Thankyou!
Your girls do this like a pro. Very nice work
Just like watching you it is so nice showing your children how to work with you they will keep up all your good knowledge in your Workshop me
Thank you!
Watching you more each day. Thanks
Hey, I'm from Brazil, but I'm staying in the US till the end of the year, and I really wanted this keepsake to give to my great grandmother for her birthday, she turns 92 on October 3rd, so it would be a very nice gift for her to put her antique jewlery.
Thanks very much for your work, I love your channel and woodworking, I started woodworking a couple of years ago when I was 15.
Just have to stay thank you. Bought a dovetail jig today and was having a major hard time. All others videos are not as informative as your step by step. I think tomorrow I'll have it nailed. No pun intended, thanks again.
It all came together nicely. Once this test up is good its on to making another one with nicer wood. In so happy with your channel i bought the plans for it. Thanks again, you're the best.
I love the long format videos - thank you for taking the time to make them! The longer videos and your very clear instruction make me feel like I get to have some of the apprenticeship experience that I have never had the chance to have in person :D
Hi Nick. Thank you very much!
Enjoyed your tutorial very much. The box also turned out beautiful.
You have a very lovely family , God bless you all.
Just got the 2416 Porter Cable and found your link. Watched a number of different ones on dovetails and didn't understand every thing about it. Then I watched yours and now know I have a good handle on the process.
Thanks
Ken
Hi Ken, awesome. Thank you!
Hi James,
Thank you for helping me better understand how to develop needed skills for working wood!
I love how your daughters are included in your projects - you go girls!
James, brother you’re the best!
Thanks again
I finally decided to get back in to wood working, I really enjoyed watching this, ...Thanks really nice video.👍
Thank you!
I’ve been interested in wood working for a long time. I have never immersed myself since work and family matters have always been priority. Now that I have lost my parents and my job, I have much too much time on my hands. I started watching theses videos on youtube, not just woodworking, to past time. Manly P. Hall, lecturer, and Paul Sellers have captivated me. I mentioned Manly P. Hall because of his content, of course, but mainly for his cadence and tone. You and Paul Sellers are the best woodworking instructors i’ve seen. You show and tell the important and necessary and don’t fill with too much fluff. I get so inspired that I am going to start collecting the essentials so I can start working on wood myself. Still out of a job it will take a while but i’ll get there. I love the way your daughters help you. They are learning valuable skills that can be applied to life... Man, you must spend a lot of money on glue! Just my frail attempt at humor. Looking forward to more of your videos.
Your humidors are quite beautiful. Puts any cigar aficionado in a class of their own. Keep up the great work!
Cool video! Making a box for dad's ashes and this was helpful. Great looking family. Thanks for all the videos.
Sorry for your loss. And thank you for the kind comments. ❤️
Nice work James. I"m a fan of the level of detail you always provide. As a father of two daughters, I'm especially fond of how you've managed to get and keep your daughters interested in woodworking with their dad.
Hi Tom! Thank you!
James, I am totally impressed with your tutorial on using dove tail jig. I have had a jig for at least 10 years😀
I pushed the send by mistake before I was finished. What I wanted to say was that you taught me more with this video on this jig than any other TH-camr. Thank you so much. I don't feel like I wasted my money on buying this jig, "So Thanks!"
Hi Richard! That's awesome. And thank you!
Great looking box, but I am truly impressed with the time that you take to explain your process and set up of the jig, you make it seem easy, I have read so many peoples comments about how difficult the dovetail jigs are to set up that I was afraid to spend the money for one. Now I will get me one. Thanks, and keep up the good work.
Thank you!
Very nice video. Also, a greater project for my grandkids to help work on .
Thanks and good to you in your full time job!
Your dove tail jig video was good and now I know how to use that jig.
Awhile back I commented on your dovetail jig project that you should be a teacher. You commented back laughing that your background was teaching. Hot damn, your doing a masters program. Outstanding!
Thank you very much, Michael!
Beautiful box. Love seeing the girls in the shop working!
Thank you very much! We all really enjoy it.
Just bought a P&C Jig. watched a few video's, this was excellent and will help me with my first item. Thanks.
That’s GORGEOUS!
And thank you for the dovetail tutorial as well!
- Thanx for the clear, concise set up for dovetails. I've always gotten totally frustrated & given up on them but feel much more confident after your video. Effective teaching is being able to convey information in a meaningful way & you "kicked it up a notch." Thanx again.
I liked the thoroughness of the tutorial
I was given a Craftsman dovetail jig several years ago for Christmas but I have been intimidated by its complexity I may give it a try now. Thanks for the great lesson.
Hi Charlie. Definitely give it a try. The Craftsman Jigs all work exactly the same way as this Porter Cable. I have used those for years. Thank you for watching.
Ha haa...ahhh...yes, the Glue Gods will be pleased!!!! Your videos are great sir!...thanks for your work and sharing the knowledge..
Very good video. You have a good voice for making these, clear easy to understand and not tiring to listen to. I have been listening to several of these trying to decide dhich brand to buy. You have helped make up my mind. You have made the PC jig appear to be very user friendly plus the cost is appreciated when looking at the other major brands. Thank you.
Great looking watches and no one can have enough beautiful wood boxes.
I completely agree with you.
I think this was the best explanation of how to use a jig to make dove tails. Clear and very well explained. I also like that you use all of your family in your work and videos. Good luck with your new venture.
Hi Tom! Thank you very much.
Finally! A detailed video I can understand. Great video, audio, explanation. Clear and to the point. Thank you for being you bro.
Beautiful and simple. Clean design.
That padauk is absolutely gorgeous!
Thanks Frank. It is certainly one of my favorites.
A. Very talented family and very cool box
Thank you!
Simplistic and yet very detailed. Excellent for those of us learning the trade. Thank you.
Thank you!
Not being funny, but I'm quite new to woodworking, picked up from my dad who made grandfather clocks for his friends, (JUST FOR THE FUN OF IT), and sitting here watching your video, I was sat with my mouth almost wide open in awe of what you can do. I am very impressed with this video, not only in terms of what you can do, but also in terms of the clarity of your tutorial. Thank you James. Think your name is James (hope it is James!!!). It's like watching my (sadly deceased) dad, and just as educational.
Hi Gary! It is James. I bet your Dad was an amazing woodworker to be able to build grandfather clocks. Thank you so much for the kind complement. ~James
Awesome I just started watching. I enjoy learning woodworking with you and your family. At 62 I barely remember woodshop classes in High School but I know it was something I enjoyed. Watching your channel has rekindled a Passion I had growing up. Thank You very much
You always make it look so easy your attention to detail is why I watch your videos.
Great Video James and just beautiful. Thanks for sharing.
Don’t know if I’m in time...but doggon! That box is fine!
Great teaching video on dovetails and assembly methods. Great looking boxes.
Thanks Sam. I'm glad you like it.
Thanks a lot for this video, it is very clear and enjoying to watch. All the best
I have watched a few of these instructional videos and yours is by far the easiest to follow. I have had this jig since xmas 2020 and am just getting the chance to try it out. I like how clear and easy to follow your videos are. You also explain the "Why" where a lot of people don't. Thank you.
very nice. finally I have learned how to make doves the right way using the equipment I own
Hi Bob! That's awesome! Thanks for watching.
I am new to wood working and was impressed with the outcome of the Keepsake box.
First off, congrats on the 20k! A very good decision to make these type of videos, I, myself have learned a lot since finding your channel. Thank you for making them. It's also wonderful to see your daughters have found an interest in wood working. The boxes look wonderful. Would have been nice to see them side by side. Look forward to seeing more of these instructional videos.
Hi Gary! Thank you very much! I will put some photos of all four together on my facebook page.
can't wait to build this myself
Good video, nice boxes. Good to see the younger ones involved!
Thank you! I really enjoy working with them.
Great video! Best tutorial of the PortaCable Dovetail system out there, seen a lot of them. Love that you always have your daughters working with you in the shop.
It’s really nice to see that you are including your children in your work. I wish that practice was more widespread in this country. Awesome woodwork!❤
Thank you.
Very nice. I enjoy your style. And I think is cute that you have a photo-bomber in your shop. I also really enjoy the fact that your girls join you in the shop. Good luck with your endeavor.
I think you do awesome work I like seeing your videos of all the projects you do.
Very nice I appreciate that you have your girls involved, is nice to see your 12-year-old knows so much about woodworking. I painted for a living and all my five children leaner a little about painting
Hi Steve! Thank you!
Thanks, James. After watching I finally pulled the trigger. I ordered a jig.
Great tutorial!
Congrats on going full time. Thanks again for all the detail in your video!
Besides being a tremendously skilled woodworker you are obviously a great father. My goodness, I think I counted five daughters! You are a gentle soul and have gained my admiration. I have learned a lot from you and enjoy your teaching manner. I am a retired Idaho teacher and know good teaching when I see it - you have it! God Bless.
I loved watching this video and listening to your narration. So cool that your daughters are involved. This has to be so rewarding and mentally heathy. Thanks again for sharing!!
👍😉
I got one of these jigs with all three templates for 150. At the orange store watched several videos on how to use. Your was the first that explained it very easily and took the intimidation factor out of it. Thanks for sharing Joe
Hi Joe, that's awesome! Thank you for watching and commenting.
Thanks for doing these! Good luck, everyone!
Thank you for watching and leaving a comment.
As usual a first class workmanship also with your family involved. proud to know of your work. Cheers
Hi David. Thank you!
A beautiful piece of work. Hugely instructional. A box fit for a King.
James, I love your videos and I love that you take the time to include your daughters. I also love spending time in the shop with my daughter. Thank you for all that you do.
Thank you! We really enjoy working together.
Thank you for your willingness to share your knowledge
Thank you
I like it... nice slow and steady instructions
Awesome video and great step by step instructions.
Very clear demo. I’m looking forward to seeing more, as I’m newly retired and anxious to add your techniques and tricks to my tool belt.
Very helpful video. I’ve always avoided dovetails, now I’m encouraged to try them. Thanks!
First time observing your class, loved it very informative.
As a new wood worker I'm grateful for all the timely instructions you pass along. Job well done.
Very beautiful box
Thank you!
Thanks James and family for all your videos. Just purchased the miter station plans and excited to get started.
