I want to hand dovetails in some pieces I am making, ranging from a jewelry box (1/2" thick stock) to a hutch base (1 1/4" thick stock). I've never done this 'manually'. Does anybody have any tips on the process and/or suggestions as to what type of saw I should be looking for? I tried the backsaw from my Craftsman mitre box - WAY to coarse and hard to manage. The dovetails I made with it were very inaccurate and loose.
I need something 'economical yet functional', if you know what I mean.
Any tips greatly appreciated!
