Essential Tools for Dovetailing.


If you can't see what you are doing then you can't cut accurate dovetails. A good task light and reading glasses are essential for me. Even if you don't use reading glasses you should try some, the weakest lens no1 will give a small magnification which is very helpful.

Of course having good quality sharp tools is also very helpful!

  2. I should have got a set before he stopped doing African Blackwood. I doubt he is able to do cocobolo now either :-(
