Mastering Dovetails DVD

"This DVD is an excellent instructional tool."--Bill A., NC

Handcut Dovetails are both strong and beautiful--but they also have a reputation for being difficult to master. However, as Lonnie points out in his latest DVD, cutting dovetails is basically just sawing and chiseling to a layout line.

In this 60-minute DVD, Lonnie will show you how to layout and cut beautiful, distinctive dovetails for your next project. The DVD covers tool selection, layout, through dovetails, half-blind dovetails, and steps to dovetailing a box. The DVD is divided into several chapters, which makes it easy to go back and review selected topics.

Whether you’ve tried your hand at dovetails or this is your first attempt, you’ll find many useful tips and suggestions for making your dovetails fit precisely the first time.
