  • Hello! Here's another joint I use from time to time to keep cases together and prevent racking, while also hiding the joint. It's actually a blind dove tail since you can't see the joint at all, but I labeled it a "half-blind" so that people interested in such joints could find it when searching the web. Thanks for watching!

    I am building something with similar construction. This is just the technique that makes sense for my application. Can I do this so that the rail is flush with the front leg?

    If i remember correctly, you live in Japan right? I say so because I could hear the trains in the background which gives me some really nice nostalgia of my time there. Hopefully soon I'll be back.
    Also very nice video as usual. I like your simple and casual style.

      Yes I do! My shop is right next to the tracks, hence the noise. Thanks for watching!

    Merci pour cette vidéo.
    Je n’ai pas bien compris le pourquoi du premier trait de scie.
    Thanks for the video.
    I didn’t understand the reason for the first saw cut. どうして?

      The first cut gives you a clean and straight shoulder and makes it easier to shape the dove tail. Thanks for watching!

      I was afraid about weakening the joint. どうもありがとうございました。

      @@jean-paulmuller4230 shortening the dovetail pin slightly won't weaken the joint as long as there is enough material at the edge of the tail piece to support the load. but for a joint that cuts across the entire width of the material, yes, it can create problems, and in that case you'd want to just round off the shoulders of the dovetail pins slightly to help guide them into the tail piece instead.

      I already replied to you on another video with a link to a store here in Japan where you can buy the azebiki nokogiri, but I'll post it again here! www2.hp-ez.com/hp/nakatyou/page40

    Why don't you just add a dowel pin on the tenon? PVA glue is incredibly strong on its own.

      @TenonsTenors  Před 3 lety +2

      Not sure exactly what you mean... you could of course draw bore tenons, but you would see the pin. Glue is strong and I use it, but I make furniture with more mechanical strength that will last for many generations. There are many ways to construct furniture, I'm just showing you one option to achieve certain goals with both design and strength in mind. Thanks for watching!

      @@TenonsTenors Yes. I meant drawbore tenons. I am too terrified to attempt a dovetail, especially on a part that has many hours into it.
