Excellent video, thanks for taking the time to capture. I had not seen this type of dovetail until reading through the book and initially thought it was very intimidating but now I can't wait to try.
Graham, I have been re watching some of your video's must mean that I like them, sure do. My two favorite dovetails are the corner post and the double-double dovetail. They can be a little touchy with the 3/32 liner on the double double dove tail as it can break very easy but as you know you just have to take small cuts in some places. But results are surely worth it.Who ever made the templates for the Incra system is a whole bunch of pay grades above me. My two biggest problems with the dovetails are getting the right fit on the dovetails which can take three or four times or more to get them just right. And centering. Once I get those two the rest goes pretty good.. Once again I really enjoy your your video's and when I grow up some day I want to be just like you, all though I am 83 so not much time left..Keep doing what your doing, Bob
Hi Bob, thank you so much thats lovely of you but it sounds like you've already got it cracked. If you can cut the corner post and the doubles, you've pretty much mastered it. 👍👍👍
Hi JT, you are right its a bit of work, but I felt it was worth the effort looking at the end result. I made six as Christmas gifts that year and they all went down rather well. 😎
I keep rewatching this as I'm still waiting for UK stock to be available but couldn't you cut all 4 pieces of ash at the same time? After that do the final rabbet cut required (shown @6:34 ). It seems they're all A cuts and the post is just B cuts.
HI Andy, I see no reason why you couldn't it would definitely save time. Extra care required when clamping 4 pieces in place to make sure they are all flat to the table and tight against the fence. I think cutting them separately was best for the purpose of the video to show the procedure. (He says hoping not to sound defensive) 😁👍
@@GTWoodshop Ok, sounds good. It wasn't a criticism - the video is very, very clear as it needs to be. I was just wondering if there was a reason not to do it if you were batching out a number of boxes at once. Have you tried any double dovetails yet? That would be a cracking video to do ... hint.. ;)
@@FuzzyScaredyCat Hi Andy, I made 10 of these for a trade show once so I did get to batch them out a little, even then it become mind numbing. Anyway, Double Dovetails are on my list. I've been meaning to do the vid since Christmas but the workshop needed sorting as the new ........... will be here soon. I have a little project that may well lend itself to double dovetails on my list next. Leave it with me. 😁👍

Hi Charles, thank you. 👍
Nice demo thanks. One observation though, it looks like the dovetail posts end up with one side being long grain and another being end grain.
Yes, you are right
@@GTWoodshop can you do it were both sides are long grain?
Bloody lovely video!
Just making me a Black Walnut Jewellery Box with Hard Maple Corner post dovetails with my Incra Jig.
Hi Henry, thank you. Post a pic of your Jewellery box so we can see it when your done. 👍

Wow, that is so awesome.
Thank you! Cheers!
It's an awesome end product, but what a massive amount of effort. I'd be so worried about making a cock-up and ruining hours of effort
