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!
This will be a great Xmas gift for my granddaughter. Thank you.
@35:29, very cute photo bomber. What a lucky dad to have such a beautiful family. Thanks for all those cool videos.
Your girls do this like a pro. Very nice work
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.
Instilling confidence and clear understanding in woodworking.
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.
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’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.
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’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.
Watching you more each day. Thanks
Beautiful box you are a teacher of craftsmanship and art
What a wonderful and calm video. Thank you very much for your posts.
wish I could thumbs up again. a great refresher on dovetails!
Thank you my friend!!
Thanks, James. Beautiful family.
Glad you took the time to show how you set up the Dovetail Jig.
Thanks for watching!
You have a very lovely family , God bless you all.
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.
Sunday morning coffee with the King family....Nice treat. I enjoyed it. Thanks
Good morning Jimbo! Thank you very much!
Probably the most complete and clearest woodworking video I've ever viewed.
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.
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.
That truly is a beautiful box! Whoever ends up with it, will be the luckiest person ever! Beautiful project!
Ha haa...ahhh...yes, the Glue Gods will be pleased!!!! Your videos are great sir!...thanks for your work and sharing the knowledge..
Beautiful and simple. Clean design.
Thanks so much for the tutorial on how to use the Porter Cable jig. It was so helpful.
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
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.
Very clear instruction and easy to follow, Thankyou!
I liked the detailed instructions on using the porter cable dovetail jig.
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
another great video James thanks a lot from the UK
Thank you!
Enjoyed your tutorial very much. The box also turned out beautiful.
Great Video James and just beautiful. Thanks for sharing.
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!
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
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 liked the thoroughness of the tutorial
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!
Don’t know if I’m in time...but doggon! That box is fine!
All of the boxes looked great from Papa Bear all the way through the littlest bear.
God Bless my friend.
Thank you Frank.
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.
Thanks a lot for this video, it is very clear and enjoying to watch. All the best
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 CZcamsr. 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!
Very nice video. Also, a greater project for my grandkids to help work on .
Thanks and good to you in your full time job!
Awesome video and great step by step instructions.
A. Very talented family and very cool box
Thank you!
I finally decided to get back in to wood working, I really enjoyed watching this, ...Thanks really nice video.👍
Thank you!
Your style is great. Always enjoyable
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!
can't wait to build this myself
Your dove tail jig video was good and now I know how to use that jig.
Just bought a P&C Jig. watched a few video's, this was excellent and will help me with my first item. Thanks.
Your humidors are quite beautiful. Puts any cigar aficionado in a class of their own. Keep up the great work!
You are a very fortunate man to have the interest and involvement of your family in your passion . I say passion because it is evident in the skill and commitment to detail . Also you are a teacher of wood craft evidenced by the great work by the girls . May you have success in your new venture . By the way you have convinced me to purchase a box joint jig , I only hope I can produce as quality as you have . Once again hope you have much success with the You Tube John Winn
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. ❤️
I think you do awesome work I like seeing your videos of all the projects you do.
I like it... nice slow and steady instructions
The best of the kind out there.
- 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.
Very nice box. Very good job on your box and love you do your presentation
The best I have ever seen
Fantastic job. I love the colour of that wood
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!
I love all your projects
That's very kind. Thank you!
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!
First time observing your class, loved it very informative.
Finally! A detailed video I can understand. Great video, audio, explanation. Clear and to the point. Thank you for being you bro.
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.
You are my go to how to the best online
That’s GORGEOUS!
And thank you for the dovetail tutorial as well!
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.
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.
i enjoy your video very much and very informative and well illustrated .
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
This is very educational and beautiful
Very good explained the best video so far I’ve watched really good explanation , i give you 100 points
I love spoonerisms. Great video, awesome project!
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!
James very nice the boxes look great have a great week.
John
Totally awesome! I learned a lot from this video.
PERFECT......JUST WHAT I NEEDED.....THANKS. Lee
Hi Lee, Thank you!
Beautiful box. Love seeing the girls in the shop working!
Thank you very much! We all really enjoy it.
Man! What a beautiful family
You are very kind. Thank you.
I really like that you include your daughters in your woodworking. this is time well spent, because they will remember this for the rest of their lives hanging out with dad, and enjoying the time, as well as learning something that they can pass on to their kids. good on ya. but I think you needed a little more glue there ;P
Beautiful work and excellent video!
Great job, wood word is good to keep us retired guys moving. A body in motion stays in motion.
Thank you!
Great looking watches and no one can have enough beautiful wood boxes.
I completely agree with you.
