Tapered Sliding Dovetails

- The sliding tapered dovetail is a very strong joint that is commonly used in drawer dividers, joining a table top to the legs and more. In this video Frank takes the mystery out of this seemingly complex joint. Using a few common woodworking hand tools and a slight variation on the techniques used for cutting tenons and dados, anyone can make this useful joint. Practice it with this simple exercise and then try incorporating it in your next project.

Thank you all for the comments. I enjoyed making the video. Look for an article in Popular Woodworking's April 2015 issue on the same subject.
Daniel, I personally don't find any need for a regular sliding dovetail, I make all of mine tapered.
One of the best teachers on the planet,i could watch your videos all day long!
Up until I viewed your video, I would have never tried to make this joint. Your careful explanations are great confidence builders. I am really happy that I found your site.
This is one of the best instructional videos I've ever seen. Great tips about how to use chisels, marking knife and a joinery saw. I'm looking forward to more videos from HSWW. Who needs a dovetail plane? It's more fun using a chisel and a router plane.
Happy to say I used this joint today for the first time after having watched the video a couple of times. Of course not as well executed as Frank's but the instruction was spot on enough for me to get a functional joint. Thanks very much!
Excellent instruction and great production values too. Thank you.
This is amazing! Beautiful joint, well done!
GREAT video! Thank you Frank.
Very informative and useful video. Thanks for sharing.
I really like your great videos. I'd be very interested in the technique you're mentioning in the beginning for joints over greater width.
Love it. Thank you for the video.
Hey, great video. I was wondering: is there a particular reason you taper both sides? Wouldn't it be less effort to taper just one side (with double the angle) and leave the other side square?
Great video.Thank you.
