Dovetail joinery is a hallmark of fine craftsmanship. The joint lends a touch of class, distinction and quality to all styles of fine furniture. In this class, students will improve their efficiency and expand their satisfaction in cutting dovetails by hand. We will survey the tools and techniques used to establish a quick, consistent and enjoyable routine for cutting this heralded joint. As we discuss, demonstrate and practice the joint, students will learn the absolute essentials to successful dovetail joinery with a focus on dovetail layout, work-hold strategies, hand-sawing techniques, chisel techniques, assembly and cleanup. By the end of class students will know the secrets to fast, consistent and accurate dovetailing.
