Back to Basics
This is a great tutorial. Frank is a master and works so effortlessly and fluidly. He is a joy to watch. He offers great tips too. This age old technique of cutting dovetails by hand and by eye is something most anyone can learn. It took the mystery out of it for me. I was all set to go out and get an Incra Jig. I am glad I did not. Instead bought an Adria dovetail saw and saved about $500 in jigs, router, bit and router table. It is far more economical for the weekend woodworker to buy the hand tools and learn how to use them than to buy the latest Leigh or Incra jig that will make joining patterns you will never use. How many drawers do you plan to make anyway ? Why not make the drawers you need by hand cutting the dovetails ? I know it will take some time and practice to learn to cut good dovetails, but it will be great fun. I can also work in my garage at 5AM and not wake the neighbors with the whine of the router. The power tool companies probably don't like this video. I like Norm Abram, but he always has another electric tool (provided by a power tool company) to use. I wish he worked more with hand tools, but then the show would lose its sponsors. My point is, learn how to use hand tools. If sharp, they are cheaper and safer to use for the hobbyist and almost as fast. You won't need a $500 dust collection system except for a dust pan and broom for the shavings and chips. I want to go out and buy all the Frank Klausz videos now because I am so impressed with his teaching, skills and practical tips.
