    Default Hand Cutting Dovetails - Video

    Here is a really good video on one technique for cutting dovetails by hand.
    Hand-Cut Dovetails: Pins First - FineWoodworking
    Presenter is Matt Wajda of North Bennet Street School and the video is from Fine Woodworking Magazine.

    This one is pretty good also but I Like Frank Klaus using a full size frame saw.



    The winner!

    Thanks, Chris

    Two very interesting videos. All swing of having the confidence to cut to the line! Practice. I particularly like Klaus's comment: "I do not force it; just get a bigger hammer."

    There is also another video by Tage Frid, almost identical to that by Frank Klaus.

    Graham, there so many ways to cut DT's and most work well IF you practise.
