    Dovetail saw teeth setting

    In me efforts to learn how to do hand-cut dovetails I ended up disabling my saw. I rented Rob Cosmans DVD on 'Mastering the Dovetail Saw' and followed his advice on tuning the saw before using it. Greta DVD by the way. I ended up over-flattening the set of my saw.:BangHead: Tried the fine...

    It wasn't all my fault! Dovetail saw tuneup

    Well, the Crown 10" Dovetail saw arrived and initially everything was good, but practise and the real thing are two different animals. Over this weekend I have cut about 50 dovetails and to be perfectly honest, although they were getting better I was not happy with any of them. When I looked at...

    Dovetail problem

    I recently purchased a PortaCable dovetail jig which came with a bit. I set it up and cut several drawers before I damaged the bit and had to replace it. I made some calls to make sure I was purchasing the right size and ended up with the one you see on the right. I am trying to set up again...
