Through dovetail joints are as beautiful as they are strong, and work great for all kinds of casework, including drawers. In this video, WOOD magazine’s Bob Hunter shows how to make a dovetail box in just 12 minutes from start to finish using a template and a router table.

Is it me or what? The joints in the film clip appeared to be more like box fingers rather than dovetails?
How did you put the pice of wood on the back.? Can you show us how u put it all together
Super nice 👍.
As an amateur with woodworker, i typically feel overpowered with the entire arrangement https://www.youtube.com/post/UgkxrYREG3-7f1Aqk9ams3ZESRNzGnfdUtyQ . Be that as it may, this arrangements drove me through with much clarity and effortlessness woodplans. Works i now work like a genius. That is great!
Pretty good !!
can i make blind dovetails with this jig
Thank you, making woodworking accessible to all. Even I want a router now 😀
Template you Recomend to buy and also the router bit names
Very nice demonstration , As my Dad always told me , If you have the right Tools you can make Life Easier ! i’m a retired Woodworker myself who spent over 35 Years in Commercial AtchitetualWoodwork it’s also been my Passion and Hobby for over 40 years i personally do not Trust most brands of the QuickmGrip style of Clamps especially for Routing Purposes that have the Vibration i have not ever had traditional CClamp or PonynBrand F Clamps coevlose or get “bumped loose on me during Machining but i have had Quick Grips ?
Excellent video, extremely helpful, thank you!
Yeah if you even have the tools.
What kind of machine is this
Nicely done.
What bits are you using?
Not exactly making a box in 12 minutes though, are you?
A perfectly produced tutorial, many thanks
Thanks. I use another brand jig which is very similar. I learned a few tips from this video….
What a great demo, beautiful! The marking of that center line is key. So well done and captured perfectly on video. Now to figure out a way to mount my router on a table. Thank you!!
Very good tools
Thank you for sharing, why did you change the router bit? I need one of the jigs
No skill recquired,all machine,,,
Thank you for sharing this. I inherited these jigs and didn’t know how to use them.
Very special!
Great demo, thanks Stefan, Australia
How are dovetails "hallmarks" of good craftsmanship when they’re machined in……
Amazing video
Hmmm. My father used to keep bees and made his own beehives. The jig is still there or should be and I always wondered how it worked.
Cutting dovetails with a router instead of by hand just seems boring. I can understand if it’s a business/revenue matter. This is a great demonstration though, and you explain it very well.
Good video, but I feel like you are promoting an overpriced jig. $250 for a piece of plastic and two router bits that don’t look at all high grade????
GOOD JOB !!! … THANK YOU !!!
perfecto gracias
So if you were in the business of building kitchen cabinets, and producing say i complete kitchen per month all by yourself, would you still use this method of dovetailing the drawers?
Great video. I am new to making dovetail joints. I have and older craftsman jig to mount to my workbench. It appears to me that 2 boards at right angle to each other can be routed with handheld router. What is the advantage of using an expensive ( say a Keller) templates approach. I can see the benefit of using my router table. Would you show me some favor and recommend some less expensive jig templates. I think your approach is the way to go and could offer me more flexibility.Thank you Bruce
Hellish expense for a full set though, most hobbyists couldn’t justify it
El vídeo me encantó, pero quisiera saber donde se puede adquirir la plantilla. Gracias
The beast
Great work, love it
Thank you so much for this!!! I dream of having a woodshop like yours!! Saving this to use to plan my setup!! I learned more in this video about routers and dovetails than I have in all the others combined. I hope I can find more of your videos!!
If he can do this in 12 Minutes, I’m sure that I could do it in about 2 1/2 hours…..
Hello! I’m late to the party – just found this video recently. Is there a way to use this jig for box joints?
Thanks so much!
Great job and great video. Thank you
Subbed
Yeah I knew 12 minutes was total BS! Preparing your stock most definitely counts in the overall time of making any project!
What are the dimensions of both bits please?
👋👍
Nice clip . Am i alone in thinking he looks like Mike Judge ….?
Huh huh huh huh….😃
you do not need to use two wrenches on the router, the router has a spindle lock button 😀

This man is like the Bob Ross of woodworking.
