It's the nature of large case work and chests. I've never counted but I do a lot of them. The more you do, the faster you get and ime, the more you learn to love the process.
@@scottm9605 Exactly! At some point, I'm sure it all just blurs together. For me, I've lost count, but not because I've done so many. I just don't know. But I think I'm close to 100 total, which is not much, but I do think that I've come a long way!
I got here after i saw your vidios where i found out some details about chanel analytics being a VLOGER and working at the same time is a lot of hard work
Oh cool! Yeah, it's not easy, but if you enjoy it, it is a nice little extra. I love being creative, and making things (and documenting it) is fun, and the little money I get is a bonus. Now, if my channel took off, ... I wouldn't complain! HA!
I really enjoyed your video. I love watching someone else use hand tools. Such art! I’m 59 years old and I couldn’t even begin to say how many I’ve done. It just keeps getting easier every time. I alway learn something new every time. Keep sharing!
Thank you! I love using hand tools, too. It's such a great experience, and I so enjoy making tangible things that will last. I appreciate the kind words!
man, i love my power tools. but watching this being built only with hand tools is definitely something else. super relaxing video, enjoyed it very much. 🙂👍
Nice work! I think it would have added to the elegance using a stopped dado. I love the process and where you say sometimes you need to get creative; that makes it fun!
Definitely. Thank you. I was thinking about a stopped dado and decided on this to keep it simple... well as much as I can doing things by hand and then repainting! 🤣🤣😂
So I had been planning to do a boarded bookcase, but my wife really wanted me to have a top on the case which the boarded bookcase design does not. I was trying to think of changing the design or just slapping a board on top but then I saw this over on Instagram and started thinking of a way to make it larger, kinda combining the two. I might share it over there once it's done so we'll see how it goes. The good news is that right now the "select" radiata pine at my local lowes is cheaper than buying the next grade down. 1 8' board was 25$ and the 4' boards with knots were 15 each.
The boarded bookcase is so cool and different without the top, but i can totally understand wanting something more traditional looking. This fits the bill for sure. I almost put a back on it, but I ended up not because of the size. By the way, I’ve seen Joshua Klein do bookshelves on the M&T instagram. They are very wide and bare bones, but similar style!
@@TheHandToolery I was thinking of just doing a bigger version of this but adding some stretchers across the back to strengthen it and stop the books from pushing out the back.
How many dovetails have you made at once on a project? How many dovetails in all your woodworking (count each tail cut as a dovetail)?
my tool chest came out to 70 and I still have to make the tills. I will never again do 11 on a corner...

@@ryanketrow3602 Whoa! Nice, and I completely understand! You have to make a video showing it!

@@TheHandToolery you're off to a hell of a good start
Nice work i like building with just hand tools but i waited too late in life to do it my hands dont let me now i do like your wood work skills.
It truly is a great experience. Thank you!
I've never seen someone paint over their beautiful dovetails! It feels like hid away the dovetails. I love the piece though, well done.
Well if you look for them you can see them :) at least I know they are there

Great project! The contrast of the paint and wood looks good and I like the look of the painted dovetails . Always fun to watch another lefty work!
Thanks, man! I love the look too. I’m always thinking we should collaborate sometime, but can never think how.

Thank you! I really do enjoy using hand tools.
What a wonderful upgrade for the flat pack particle board piece! Inspiring me to grab a 1x12 or three and get to making some simple bookshelves!
Agreed!! How cool! I hope you do 😃
Great work and fun to watch
Thank you! I had a blast, well everything but removing the paint. 🤣

Pretty beautiful job, dude! Looks fantastic! 😃
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Thank you! We love it. We are definitely trying to stay safe. Cheers!

Can you tell me the tools you used in the video? Thanks! Beautiful result!

Ha! Good catch! My kids were with me in the shop. But yeah that looks eery!
@@TheHandToolery hey, when are you coming back to brazil?
@@mundocerveja Unfortunately, I'm not sure! Hopefully not too long!

what are the measurements in centimeters of each piece?
Job's a good'un
Thank you!
