Dovetails: A Comprehensive Guide to Hand-Tool Preparation of Dovetail Joinery For centuries, dovetail joints have been a cornerstone of traditional furniture making, providing a strong and durable bond between wood pieces. While modern manufacturing has largely replaced hand-cut dovetails with machine-cut joints, there is still a place for this traditional technique in low-volume, high-quality furniture making and among hobbyist woodworkers. This book provides a comprehensive guide to the hand-tool preparation of dovetail joinery, featuring over 400 photographs and diagrams to illustrate the process. Within its pages, you'll find detailed instructions on how to make 28 different dovetail joints, ranging from simple to complex puzzle joints. Whether you're a seasoned craftsman or just starting out, this book will provide the skills and knowledge needed to create beautiful and functional pieces of furniture. With its clear instructions and extensive visual support, Dovetails is an essential resource for anyone looking to master the art of hand-cut dovetail joinery.
