I'll be posting some more information later today (hopefully) about fitting dovetailed boards together.Tiny Shop Woodworkshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10375332433853904113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1321553715454450871.post-84234028368778133602016-07-13T00:32:14.580-07:002016-07-13T00:32:14.580-07:00Hi Matt,

Personally I often have the problem that the outer pins are out of level because my dovetails are too tight and so I push the pins out of level.<br />Maybe you will double check this.<br />Cheers,<br />Stefan Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17569365598390231433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1321553715454450871.post-2318058677358029592016-07-10T15:55:23.265-07:002016-07-10T15:55:23.265-07:00Thanks Bob.

That's exactly the type of thing I saw on Shannon's blog and something I'd like to build.Tiny Shop Woodworkshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10375332433853904113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1321553715454450871.post-1546026659581425642016-07-10T08:52:03.950-07:002016-07-10T08:52:03.950-07:00I first saw that trick , using a guide board, for ...I first saw that trick , using a guide board, for lining up the boards to be dovetail on David Barron site http://davidbarronfurniture.blogspot.ca/ Cant remember exactly where, but he had basically two boards dovetailed 90 degrees and a small fence running on each on one side to align the boards to be marked/dovetailed.<br />BobValley Woodworkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07322487171914484954noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1321553715454450871.post-51395963189005169432016-07-09T13:59:36.597-07:002016-07-09T13:59:36.597-07:00I'm still cutting my pins shy of the line so I...I'm still cutting my pins shy of the line so I can pare a bit. I'm too nervous about trying to get it right off the saw and getting big gaps instead. So for now I'll pare. As far as your comment about using a square to line the two pieces up, I use a chisel along the side of the pieces to line them up. I saw something on Shannon Rogers' blog not too long ago - he uses two boards dovetailed together at a good 90° and each board has a fence and you can slide the boards up against the fence to align them. If I ever work with better wood that won't twist on me, maybe I'll try to build one of those. I thought it was a great idea.Tiny Shop Woodworkshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10375332433853904113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1321553715454450871.post-61622749409897649482016-07-09T03:43:08.648-07:002016-07-09T03:43:08.648-07:00Getting dovetails to go together off the saw still...Getting dovetails to go together off the saw still makes me giddy. The dovetails being off slightly is either you sawed the pin/tail a little off (I don't think it was this)or your initial line up for marking was off. I use a square to make sure the two line up.Ralph Boumenothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10606484453109932074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1321553715454450871.post-77262059234467807232016-07-08T18:16:49.063-07:002016-07-08T18:16:49.063-07:00Thanks Bob.
