  • The first project on the new workbench! Making a set of framed panels with magnetic tool holders and full-blind dovetail corners. I'm no professional and I don't have anything to teach, this is just me, sharing my thoughts and my work. Join me as I'm learning fine woodworking!

    in the book Campaign Furniture, Schwarz mentions that full-blind dovetails can be the easiest dovetail, so long as one doesn't mind cutting a little past the line on the inside of the carcasse (which isn't your style, I know, but maybe for future shop furniture projects?), making them the go-to joint for utilitarian, mid-grade fine furniture in the 18th and 19th centuries.
    I'd like to learn how; thanks for reminding/inspiring me to give it a try!

    • @GillisBjork
      @GillisBjork  Год назад +1

      Very interesting! I can see how that would speed it up, but there’s still the process of chopping out the waste (compared to the faster coping saw on regulr dovetails) and getting the miter to close up neatly. I wonder what those craftsmen knew that made it so easy! Thanks for sharing!

    • @joelhollingsworth2374
      @joelhollingsworth2374 Год назад

      If my memory of Schwarz's discussion is correct, I think they chopped more roughly than usual (knowing it wouldn't be seen) and used a kerf cut to close up the miter; coping saws weren't as good back then, so weren't an option.
      Speaking of things that didn't exist back then, if it's a large enough dovetail, I guess one could use a vibrating multi-tool!

      @@joelhollingsworth2374 Aaah that makes sense. So if I understand it correctly: if the dovetails are loose enough, you could make an approximate miter, put it together, kerf cut it, and then push the joint closed. You'd just have to make sure the dovetails don't bottom out before the miter closes. Could be fun to do a speed challenge on this joint. Thanks for the brain food!

    I make atempt to hang cuting tools at magnets, years ago, but in the end sharpening is nightmare after that. All fine particles, filings from grainding (no important is grit of stone) are catch on cuting edge. Solution can be demagnetizer (or how u call it) for screwdrivers but as I use mostly carpenter chisels they are to small for this.
    In the end i have rule: keep chisels, drilbits, knives etc far away magnets.
    But maybe U will have diferent experience. I wait for review after some time.
