Good woodworkers are good at hiding mistakes, not being flawless.  Well done!

@jshillard

Thanks for sharing the real-life version of that fix of the crack. I am glad to see someone else struggle through an issue with about the same poise and grace that I do! haha

@metamatticus

More outtakes and stuff ups. Makes it real and you’re great at keeping the narrative going and light.

@David-fv7zg

You crack me up John. Dry fitting everything before the actual glue up is a lesson well learned!

@makingtolearn

Sweet build and great video. Lots of cool little tricks! That little dovetail jig is sweet. Also how do you like that fret saw? Been eyeballing one of those for a while now.

@JkCanvas

Love that fact you left the mistakes in the video, re-enforces it is ok to make mistakes it is how you overcome them.  Great video.

Beautiful!!!  Dovetails add an elegance to any project. I hope to see more dovetails on future projects - especially handmade.

Very cool box and nice to show how things don't always go right the first time. Nice recovery!!

@gardenstatewoodworks8396

Nice project! Thank you for showing your mishaps. Getting ready to start a tv cabinet from reclaimed barn boards. Gaining more confidence everyday in my shop and learning that it’s okay to screw up lol.

@CRongstad

Nice video John.  Keep working on those dovetails.  Will be easy before you know it
