Interesting hand cut dovetail video
From the village carpenter.
Not that I hand cut many, but some interesting technique with folded paper, guide blocks for chisel, etc.

Nice skills. Good to see. My ex HoD told me he had never made a dovetail. I have 2 router jigs that make a variety. It is always good to make a set by hand.

Thanks Tex, that's a pleasure to watch. Great economy of movement(no fussing), and nice quality hand tools. Shows dovetails really aren't that scary.
The time we enjoy wasting is not wasted time.

Very similar to the Rob Cosman clips he does one in 3min 40sec, if you do anything enough times you can get realy fast. Been following Kari's blog on and off for a while now she comes accross some interesting things.
