Surprised you didn't include half lap. Seems it's good for beginners (me, to some extent, though I have made the ones you cover). Also would like to see you discuss different projects and why you selected the type of joints in each case that you used. You have a talent for presenting in a logical fashion. I think we could learn from your decisions. Thanks!
I appreciate that your perspective is in the right place, what with wanting to help beginners learn wood joinery. That said, if we're beginners trying to learn basic woodworking techniques, most of us will likely not have thousands of dollars worth of power tools and very specific machinery. Some people do have that, which is great, but I probably wouldn't market your video as being for beginners or specifically say that these don't require any sort of specialized machinery when that's all that's used in tutorials
I was watching this video in my kitchen while eating some peanut butter when you mentioned cabinets. I opened one of my cabinet doors- lo and behold, tongue and groove. Great video. Can't wait to try some of these.
Most joints here are legit just grooves. If you have a decent collection of tools, chances are you can cut a groove. It may require some creativity and jury rigging to work, but that's what you have to deal with when you don't have a multi million dollar wood shop.
@@illuminant777XtX well to be honest, I thought it would be really easy to do a box joint from a picture. Also that was my first time doing wood working. I don't feel bad about it, I was just mad at my crafting skills. My teacher told me that was really good for a first timer working with wood.
Some are complaining about not having tools (non-specialized). Plenty of videos on making a saw table on youtube if you cannot afford a table saw. Thanks for the tips and methods you provided. Thank You very much.
I don't know that making a saw table is going to be an easy task for those of us who don't even have the proper tools to make a simple wood joint. I appreciate you trying to help us find a workaround, though 👍
Love this video. I have just started out and have just finished a project using bow tie inlays all by hand, I can not wait to have all these tools 👷🏻♂️
@@timlist4173how to go from 10 fingers to anything less. Not wise for a beginner to do this especially if you can’t figure out a way to attach a riving knife. This is our hobby and shouldn’t give advice to beginners that can cause major injuries. Spend some money on the table saw now, or spend a ton trying to sew things back on.
For anyone here from the UK, the dado blade is AFAIK banned here, so the router table looks like the best option for us. Thanks to Brent for including that and showing as an alternative.
Great video, not done any woodworking for about 20 years and I'm going to build a coffee table from some old scaffolding boards 🙂 think I'm going to go with dowels
I don't know anything about joinery and appreciate all the tips you've given for these 5 joints. Could you please tell me if it is advisable if you're really fussy for the finger joint to arrange the two pieces so that the end fingers are the same width? Also in the Finger Joint picture the grain of the dark wood seems to be opposite to that of the white wood. Is it better to have the grain running the same? I don't know, which is why i ask.
I've always loved the look of light and dark woods together. I'm curious if you've ever done a mitered box joint. But with the end grains faced together.
I bought the Incra box joint jig. I have had nothing but bad luck with it. Could you show how to do it in a video or send me a link to a good video about it?
Bent's Woodworking I’m considering buying this jig to help with my box joints (which I have been doing totally freehand) so is like to see a video ad well! 🙋🏻
I think a video about the best applications for the different joints would be very helpful. I have yet to try some of the joints that require a little more than basic skill, but that’s because I really don’t know what application/project/joint would call for the various joints. And I often wonder the purpose of the various joints. For example, if someone is building a desk, or a cabinet box, or whatever, other than the look it provides, why would someone make a joint other than the “simplest” joint (maybe the butt joint with screws) if most/all provide the same structural integrity?
After cutting the the finger joints with the Incra Joinery System you set the two pieces down just like Perry does from Incra. 🤣🛫 I have the TS LS Joinery System and the Master Lift II all well worth the money, oh and the clean sweep keeps the dust out of the air and into the DC System.
Im getting a domino joiner in 2 day but I'm torn between the 500 and 700. With the Seneca adapter and the 3rd party accessories for the 700 it makes it for a harder decision. I do mostly decorative boxes, cabinets, side/sofa tables, and dining tables. Which one would you recommend. Awesome content by the way, been watching for a long time now.
Thank you! As for the domino, I have never said “if only I had the 700”. You may find it helpful on the tables if you are doing a lot of bid breadboard ends but I get by just fine with the 500. With that said, at some point I would like the 700 as well for some different things I would like to try but won’t get rid of the 500
@@bentswoodworking Ahhh this is a tough one. Tomorrow I'm making the purchase and the only thing holding me back from the 500 is the Seneca small mortise kit for the 700 so it can utilize all the 500 cutters essentially turning the 700 into a two machine domino( sorta). Thank goodness for festools 30 day return policy but i really just want to pick the right one right from the gate.
Jason: 5 Easy Joints for beginners. You mentioned at the beginning that no special tools needed. So far all tools you used are expensive table saws that the average beginner does not have.
Good sir I am going to create an adjustable incline and decline bench. There are two legs. Front leg and back leg. Two longer pieces of wood attach to the front and back legs and these two longer pieces meet at an angle almost like a triangle. Woul a finger joint be the best option to join these two pieces of wood where they meet and also where they meet the legs? Sorry for my bad terminology. I am completely new to wood work. You can see the kind of angle the wood needs to meet at in this picture indigofitness.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/U099_Adj.Incline-Render-Folded-768x768.jpg Thanks for any help.
Bent says you don't need special tools to do these joints and then proceeds to use a workshop full of special tools and finishes of by saying there you go very minimal equipment. My mind was blown by the 'minimal equipment' that he used. I was thinking minimal equipment meant hand held equipment like tenor saw, chisel and set square.
Yes! I was waiting for this exact project! It'll definitely very helpful while I continue to analyze Woody Hyezmar's projects which you get in his Woodworking Bible by go’ogling it and hoping it’s still available.
Your hands are overall, very close to the machinery and the cutting discs. While you may be fine with the lack of safety measures, it's a very bad example for the rest of the amateurs.
He uses specialized tools because he has them. These joints can be accomplished with basic wood working tools and have been long before any power tool come along, to put it simply it’s not the tools it’s you, you suck and need practice but you’re blaming your tools
He doesn’t do it the hard way while going around ppls houses use chisel/saw/gauge/who’s gonna carry a table saw around anyway in my opinion chisel is better you can do your own perfection he’s just lazy

Joints with hand tools
You do mean wood working Joinery! 🤣🛫
I must be a pre-beginner as most of these looked a little difficult. The first two are definitely doable. Good video
I like all you do here without any special tools, as you stated.
Working with any joint. Wood or otherwise. Good times to be had

Thanks for showing a few different methods for the various joints.
You’re welcome
Once again, excellent video. Thank you!
Wow this is great. I already have every single one of these industrial tools in my garage.
Videonya sangat menari karena teknik pembuatan dari beberapa model sambungan dijelaskan dengan baik. Sehingga mudah untuk dipahami.

So what do you class special tools? Quantum lasers?
dude this video was amazingly helpful! thank you
You’re welcome
Your videos are so helpful thank you
Glad you’re finding them helpful
That is very true
Really cool I'm going to try some of these joints out on my bandsaw base
Awesome!!
Can’t wait to do some finger joints,awesome vid Jason👍🔥💯
They are fun too do
Useful tool links for beginners- thanks!
You are welcome!
Is funny when you say with the minimum equipment... what you have there set up is a dream 2🤙👍👍👍
Nice video thanks for the tips
You’re welcome
You are adding value.Am so glad to be here.Finger joint is my favourite.
love your machinery
Ahh yes, the common table saw, all beginners have one of those just lying around in their shed.
You could make one with a circular saw. There are a ton of you tube videos on doing just that. They work fine until you can afford one.

There is also an alternative called a Wobble Blade. They don't sell them anymore but they SEEM safer than a Daddo.
Very Helpful

Nice video. What table saw are you using? I think it’s a versatile one, not just a saw. Because it could do a lot different job.
I have a 3HP Sawstop
I don't think any of those tools are novice tools; novice tools are a dril/drill-driver, hand saw maybe a circular saw and a sander at most
I struggle with the finger joint jig due to my Mastercraft tools :(
Just not enough to get a clean connection
2:34 can you show how to do it with hand tools
I think I'm gonna pull the trigger on that Incra IBox to help you out buddy. Is it still a qualifying purchase?
If there is an affiliate link for it then yes. Appreciate it 👊🏼
You forgot to mention. This is for beginners who own all these specialized tools.
4.44 🙏
So, no specialist tools needed to do these joints, but you show us how you do them using tools that an average person can only dream of having ...
