In June, 2015 Jonathan Katz-Moses began posting videos showcasing his handmade jewelry boxes and a couple years later was the king of the dovetail joint. He designed the magnetic dovetail jig that makes it easy for anyone to hand cut perfect dovetails every time.

Today Jonathan has a massive 5000 square foot shop where he creates mostly products for woodworkers.

His videos are geared toward high-end, production woodworking with tips, techniques, tool discussions, and advice for getting the most out of your shop.
