Dovetails

[Ed Pawlowski]

I was thinking of tying hand cut dovetails. I think this may be an easy one to start with

[Leon]

Yeah lettuce know when you start. ;~)

Pretty impressive.

Assuming one has really sharp tools: The harder the wood, the easier/smoother the cutting/carving. With a soft wood, the wood fibers would have a tendency to tear/compress, rather than cut cleanly.

Have you family post the address of the sanatarium when you end up in when you try these dovetails. We will send cards

[John McGaw]

Looks OK for a beginner's learning project. Then you can move on to the difficult stuff...

Yeah, that appears to be walnut and maple, so the cutting likely went as good as it possibly could.

[Ed Pawlowski]

I may start tomorrow, but it may be a little while before I finish. Don't wait up for me.
