I have never built anything using dovetail joints so I'm unfamiliar with creating a design using them.
I am looking at designing and building three breadboxes using the same design using different lumber for my wife and her sisters.
I love the look of through dovetails on boxes so I would like to join all of the non-moving prices using them but I don't know what what the length of the joint is, from center to center, so the over all dimentions of the joint allows the beginning and end of each joint to begin and end halfway though a tail.
I'm also not sure how the corners would work since there would be dovetail joints on three different planes intersecting.
Any recommendations or advise would be greatly appreciated.
