Had so much fun with you in your shop. Thanks for hosting me! Cheers my friend!
Thanks for coming out! Crazy good times!
Have Katz...autograph that before you give it away...lol...great video
Hope you get more videos up soon.
This is so great to see. Iv been watching Katz since he started and he never ceases to amaze me :D Awesome guys.. just awesome. I have to original jig and the 2.0.... time to get me that crystal skull badass 3.0 :D
I'm finally putting finish on my first dovetailed chisel box and I used your guide to make the dovetails and at first I was a little nervous about messing them up so I left my boards a couple inches wider so I could cut off my bad first practice dovetails but I didn't have too LOL My box has turned out great especially for my first ever dovetails that I have ever cut. Thank you so much for the guide and the in depth videos on how to use it.
Thank you for playing the whole "Sand in the place where you live" this time... Saved my sanity and I can rest easy now!
haha!
I saw this dovetail guide in the April 2022 No, 295 issue of Fine Woodworking. It looks like a great guide compared to the other ones in the article. I am going to get one as soon as I have a project that has dovetails.
This whole time I just assumed jjjkm was an amateur fan such as myself. Mind blowing...
Inlaid dovetails are freakin' sweet!
Cool story about how the jig came into existence! Love hearing stories like that.
Nice tutorial. Traditional joinery is something that every woodworker should know. Fun fact: First cases of dovetail joinery were found in tombs in ancient Egypt.
Cheers
Slovenian Woodworker that's super interesting!
Katz-Moses Woodworking Shop It sure is..So much time has passed and we are still using them.. Nice to see video like that. You have great channel mate. Cheers
TILT THE SLAW! lol, I love this jig. Just couldn't resist.
+1 the real art of woodworking not machine ads, this is what I like the most :-)
You guys are the best. Thank you so much! I'm buying this clear jig.

😂😂😂 Really great video. He is a really good teacher, and fluent in explaining things in a way as to not muddy the clear objective. Very well done. 👍
Love this jig, Knife block in my profile pic was made with this jig.
Awesome!
Alright, the video worked, I just ordered a dovetail jig and am excited to try and cut my first dovetails. Also looking forward to seeing you at the Dayton Maker Faire next weekend, you're repping the 419 in the 937, but it's all OHIO where we know how to make stuff.
Right on! See you soon! Thanks Brent!
Awesome video guys! I definitely learned some new stuff, and I'm gonna check out Katz-Moses' channel too!
Great tutorial.
I’m 13 and about six months ago I taught myself how to cut dovetails by hand without guides I can almost do them freehand without marking it other than my marking gauge line and the tail and pin distances
Holy johnathan J Katz Moses Batman!
This video is such a good resource! I'm sure I'll watch it about 27 more times as I gear up to cut my first dovetails, haha. Thanks, gents.
Great video. Lol @ 5:04 "I tilt the slaw"
I was ready to complain about the cost of the jig, but I looked it up and they are really affordable! For a high-quality tool, this is really impressive. It's about what a good combination square would set you back.
DanKmake thanks bud!
I made it by glueing two pieces of wood for $0.75.
I think the best compliment I can give you is the fact that I ended up watching the whole video after repeatedly telling myself "only five minutes".
So you don't have a set formula for the dividers gap?
I always end up mowing or shoveling my neighbor's yard. She's old.
I'm finishing up the edit on the other video. It will be up later today. Thanks!
Make Something was that the "real" David? I like your calm side too!
A great video. Like you I rarely use dovetails but when I do I suck at it. Can't wait to try the technique here.
I will also throw my support behind this jig! It makes cutting dovetails much more approachable! Get one!
Dustin Penner thank you so much
After so many shout outs of ' J Katz-Moses' am I the only one missing the J?
Also thumbs up for the long form video!
Malt & Make J there you go !
A wood working scholar, a gentleman and a damn TH-cam Ninja. That was a damn fast reply!
Way did he use one of the pieces as a back board when he use the chisel?
tomer fc I screwed up and thought out was my scrap
This looks really hard. I just make butt joints and cover the corners over with "Dovetail-Look" Con-Tac(R) Paper! It's right next to that groovy mushroom print Con-Tac that you can use on your kitchen walls.
I was ready to complain about the length of the video and then it just flew by. One of the best, Dave.
Cool focus bro. Haha. Your tattoo was perfectly focused! Great video. I will be be watching them both again and again.
This is perfect timing, been exited to see this video since i saw you posting about it on isntagram, planning on trying my first ever hand cut joints next week :)
Good stuff Johnny J katz ! Those turned out perfect. I haven't done Dove tails in over a year going to have to go out in the shop tomorrow and give it a go I remember I won one of your jigs a couple years back as a prize it was a wooden one but same concept yeah I'm going to go out there and cut me some dovetails just for fun thanks for inspiring
I love this video. I will be coming back to reference this in the future. I'm a big fan of the all of these videos and this collaboration is absolutely fantastic. Please keep up everything that you're doing. It is greatly appreciated.
He hurt his hand, teaching Eric a very valuable lesson. He will be on good behavior from now on.
Charles McBride Eric was a naughty cameraman.
Can you recommend a coping saw that isn't so expensive?
+john handcock any coping saw will do with a small enough blade
I usually like to complain about the cost of jigs but honestly the price is really not that bad. I feel the price is completely justified especially since I'm about to make a new computer desk and I want to go all out on it and do dovetails finally
What an awesome story and guy. Thanks for sharing :)
Looks like a great product, and well thought out. I'm slowly getting into more woodworking, and I think Ill pick one of these up.
This really de-mystified dove tails. Thanks
Awesome! And I'm really surprised at how nice looking and affordable those jigs are. I think I may pick one up!
My jig just came today!...but I wasn't expecting it til tomorrow, and I'm too drunk to go into the workshop, so I'm watching videos about using it. Thanks for making this one!
He has great hair. Also I have ordered a jig and will be attempting my first hand cut dovetails.
I can still see the marking knife lines. Is that expected? Did you cut too deep? Will they sand out?
David Bishop yes. This was a practice piece. With a little sanding they come right out.
David Bishop I believe that a lot of woodworkers like to leave them in. I personally prefer without.
Don't understand how you can start without a measurement using dividers to get equal measurements. Seems something would have to be measured first then divided by number of tails desired? Someone help, cause I'm lost with this.
Could you tell me if this was a 1:6 or 1:8 ratio and where I can purchase the kit and both types of saws.
Also which ratio is stronger and which would work for smaller thinner wood or does it need to be a certain thickness minimum.
I am new to it.
How come you didn't do the dovetails with your Glow Forge? ;)
Hello, couple of questions. What finish did you use in this video and do you ship to the UK? Thanks.
Can you re-shoot this video with better camera angles and focus? I really want to learn how to do this!
Found this video for better sawing tips for dovetails, but sad to see you using a guide. Isn't this more a crutch than anything? Hindering ones ability to truly learn to saw square?
For someone like me who only cuts dovetails once a year this is perfect. Everybody has a different approach to what they want to learn.
It seemed like Eric had no idea what to film/focus on lol. It's all good though I just put glasses on when it was unfocused made it better.. j/k .....Good stuff sir thank you
I've been waiting a very long time for this Colab!!!
I really liked this video. I don't mind long format vids if they are informative.
I'm considering adding this to a playlist for my senior HS students, but then they may want me to buy a set of Katz dovetail jigs. At the very least, I'm going to be buying some pull saws for them, or at least future classes.

A 25 minute video... but it was went by wicked quick! 🤓👍
Why did he rest the pin side on the other work piece when he was chiseling? Isn't that asking for scarred up sides?
Eric Honaker yep. Screwed up. Luckily it was a practice piece. Had a piece of scrap walnut that I was using and grabbed the wrong one.
The saw dust trick is better if you mix the glue and saw dust in a small pot and then scrape that into the gaps.. Its better for over the years if people decide to rework the poject sanding it and such.. the way you done it, If it gets sanded a few to many times the saw dust will soon vanish and show the old glue.
Whats the story behind the "Please don't hurt 'em Hammer"?
What TPI are your coping saw blades?
"Are you using just the tip?" I don't think I've ever laughed so hard in my life.
ARCHER!!
Looks like the marking gauge left a small line at the depth of the dovetails on each side. Does that normally get sanded out or left there? Also, what finish was used?
some like to leave that line as a sign of being hand made. I prefer to sand it off. And unfortunately I don't remember what finish I used.
Disappointing you need to use sawdust to fix sloppy cutting! I don't use glue on my dovetails, not required!
Man, it must be amazing to be so perfect! I want to be you!
Great to be able to put a face to a patreon's name. Bought two jigs. You guys rock.
M. Wade thanks bud!
Awesome video guys. I have been cutting hand cut DTs inconsistently for ages. I recently bought Jonathan's amazing jig. WOW, thanks Jonathan. Also wanted to give Lee Marshall a shout out for his incredible Knew Concepts Coping/Fret saws, they simply take the work out of removing DT waste. Gotta love good products/tools that actually do what they are supposed to. When you find them, spread the word, hopefully when you are looking at your next tool, someone like me is there to make a choice easier.
Thanks again guys.
Vintage Jonathan before the apron, this will be known in history as the B.A. period in time.
My neighbors keep asking why I don't come over anymore after watching this video. Great descriptions and awesome walk through. Thanks guys!
I want Mr. Katz Moses to chisel out MY dove tail... if you get what I'm saying.
😮
Magnets, check
LEDS, oh...none

+Gabriel Lopes ha!
I like the video.... But I love the shirt!!! I live in California now but used to be a 419 guy! Where did you get that shirt?!?!?
If at first it does not fit fill it up with glue and sh*t!
that type of plastic is INCREDIBLY easy to scratch. i'm amazed the one you use in the video isn't totally cloudy from scratches
A little hint for a great product. Use magic marker across the pins, tails etc. and then rub it off. The black will say in the wording and make it easy to read.
Just tried my very first attempt at dovetails with some scrap wood. I wouldn't say it was the *worst* first attempt in the history of dovetails, but lots of room for improvement. Thanks for the video!
Camera man needs some work. Focus adjustment
If you have to put finish on it the glue may not let the stain or finish absorb in all situations. Save yourself some trouble and use the saw dust in some finish to fill. That way it will take the finish perfectly.
David, that you for showing me this
Very handy tips and tricks! Cool!
i just bought both jigs and a total of 200$ of hardware to get started. seems labor heavy but so rewarding. can't wait to get them and start
Do you think the score line takes away from the tails? Just thinking pencil you could sand easier.
Best video since the amp video! Always wondered who that man with the long name was. So cool to see one of your supporters on your show. Keep up the great work
Just the tip? Ha ha... Great video and it really brings dovetails into the realm of possibilities now! Good stuff!
David!! That was a great video! I had pretty much given up on trying to cut dovetails. Now I can't wait to get back out to my woodshop. I will definitely be ordering the jig as well. Big thank you to Jonathan J. K. M. for his great tips!
This is an awesome video, Guys! I've used this dovetail guide a dozen times and love it. It's so handy for not only the pins and tails but also for the 90 degree cuts too. Thanks for sharing.
SimpleCove [Sean Walker] thanks so much Sean! You do incredible work!
amazing video as usual... but can u explain me how to determine the divider angle for the first time...does it has a spesific calculation or what ,,, thanks....
Thanks! I talk about it in this video here: th-cam.com/video/BgBh-hhp24A/w-d-xo.html
Thanks a lot bro...
Enjoyed that, gentlemen. Learned a lot.

Cool stuff David! 👍
So informative, but not overwhelming. A little fun too.
Nice tutorial. I might be finally ready to try a dovetail...

I'm about 6 minutes in and there's already a TON of great information.
Just ordered one! You did say indestructible right...?!?
I tried this technique but I was always in my neighbors yard I need more practice
Excellent video you 2. Thorough and easy to follow. Love the jig!
Love the longer video! Also for making sure we know to use "just the tip"! Keep up the fantastic work, loving the podcast too!
So cool to see the guy we heard every week. Awesome story behind the jig he made!
We finally get to meet the supporter who has THE coolest name ever!
Still waiting on that game of pool
