  • This guy got some real skills.

  • Why using glue but not clamping down?

  • "but i wouldn't cut a dovetail with a router and call it "Art""

    The art is in the design of the piece. Hand-cut and machine-cut dovetails are nearly indistinguishable if you use a good jig such as a Leigh.

    Cutting a dovetail with a router is a skill also though I'd prefer to master the other.

    Regarding FK, he is reputed for being insanely fast at cutting dovetails by hand. However I would wager he does it whichever way makes him the most money. He's also reputed to be a savvy businessman.

  • This is good, but have you seen John Bullar cut fine dovetails on you tube - wow

  • The strip is a piece of Mahogany with adhesive and it's being applied to the drawer front top edge. The drawer front will be installed on the front of the drawer anyway to hide the hole from the groove that is cut for the drawer bottom.

  • Very nice! But why Iron that strip on it! Show off those hand cut joints

  • "There is no need to measure here". Real craft.

  • So nice to see a REAL master at work doing the traditional ways.

  • Spare us the pretense. Frank Klaus chose to introduce Chan's book "Classic Joints with Power Tools" and praised the intelligent use of power tools which can most certainly be used to create art - yes, even a dovetail jig.

    Frank is not close minded about using modern technology.

  • No problem, and thanks. Sometimes I do grit me teeth and sit on a high stool to cut 'real dovetails'! But not often. True what you say. The router is often used as a shortcut to skill. But if folk don't learn to use it properly, it can bite!

    Cheers and take care my friend.

    John
