| Practice Dovetail Box | Woodwork | Before I go head first into the tool cabinet dovetailing, I'm going to create a practice box with some scrap plywood. I'll create the for dovetail corners on the sides and nail on a base. Simple box without much of a plan of what to do with it, but I'll be able to practice dovetails, using the template / guide I've created. | 05 Oct 24 | 06 Oct 24 | 1 days | Post |
| Dovetail Template and Guide | Woodwork | Two mini projects I'd like to do here. One is the dovetail template. This will help me draw out the same angles each time. I could make 3 - one 1:6 one 1:7 and one 1:8. The 1:7 is the angle that is used most I believe. The second is a dovetail guide, this i a guide for the saw cut, to make sure you do an accurate angled saw cut each time. Probably even more helpful than the template, but maybe doesn't last as long. | 20 Sep 24 | 05 Oct 24 | 15 days | Post |
