Thanks Logan! I always appreciate your feedback :)

[@bcas008]

a really great project, well explained and beautifully implemented. It's just a shame that you can't tell the effort from the result.
Thanks for sharing, that's why I subscribed to the channel.
Greetings from Germany 🤘👍

I wish you’d gone into details about how to setup the fence for the dovetail cut! That seems to be the trickiest part here

[@EigenDesigns]

You're right, I should have gone into more detail there. I essentially used a trial and error method until I got the fit just right. I cut a dovetail channel on a scrap piece of wood and then adjusted the sacrificial fence when cutting the dovetail ends on the apron pieces until they fit snug in that channel. Once I was happy with the fit on the scrap pieces, I proceeded to cut the dovetail pins on the actual apron pieces. I hope this helps!
