Japanese-style (roughly) woodworking

Nov 12, 2003 2 Replies

As an experiment, I've been trying to use vises and clamps as little as possible for various tasks, using planing stops, body weight, etc. On the whole, it works so well and efficiently that I'm seriously considering leaving the vise off the bench I'm planning. One thing I haven't been able to do satisfactorily, however, is chopping the pin parts for half-blind dovetails. How would one go about doing those without a proper holding system ?
