Dovetails 2

The chisel rests easily in the scored line. A few pounds with the mallet cuts that line deeper.



Pop out a layer of wood with a quick chisel hit.



After a couple of cuts on one side, flip it over and start on the other, so any tearout on the last cut is in the middle of the piece instead of on either side.



Sorry for the focus.

The tails on the back piece are traced onto the ends of the sides.



The scoring tool is used again, and the square is used to mark down from the traced lines to the scored line.



The dovetail saw comes out again. Then the chisels again.



The tails are shaved down with a chisel until it fits perfectly. The drawer bottom is then marked and cut off with the tablesaw.



And here is the finished drawer.
