So I've sought out to learn how to make dovetail joints,
I'm a new to woodworking and saving up to buy a table saw or router in a few weeks, but I really want to make a strong jointed box for my girlfriend.
So let's start with my third attempt.
Pin side
Tail Side
The technique I was doing was sawing abit over size towards the waste side when making the tailside, then getting closer and closer to my scribed lines slowly checking how it fits.
As you can see I've taken off to much in some areas and not enough in some areas, but I'm beginning to see how this joinery works.
I think my problem could be that the saw I'm using (Trojan Dovetail saw) is too thick for this work and making the starting cuts bigger than it should be.
So anyone got any tips? I know this an abysmal attempt but hey I'm learning and it only gets better :)
