There’s no doubt your technique works very well but I got lost in clearly visualising the detailed steps. The position of the camera was too far away to provide close ups of the critical sawing of the tails and pins I will watch the video again and have a go! Loved the superbly made Chris Vesper bevel gauge from Australia!
Enjoyed the video. But was unable determine which side of the cuts you made at 4 degrees and which cuts you made at 90 degrees. Anyway you could explain that in these comments/replies?
Hello, David. Love your guides and am have just started using them. Question on this box and method though... at the beginning of the video you said that the ends of the box are at a 10 degree angle. Is that correct or are they at 7 degrees?
Now I'm just going to watch this video again, and again, and, though I'll never find it easy, at least might begin to understand. Thank you though(it's just me that is a bit "slow...")...cheers...rr
Could you not use the dovetail alignment board in conjunction with one of the angled shims from the shooting board for the transfer, or have I missed an angle somewhere?
It would have been good to have the camera at a different angle - all we could see was your hand and the saw. I have to read or watch some more tutorials on which side the 90 degree goes on versus the angle. I have the correct jigs and tools, but it’s going to take some messing around with them before I go for real.
Thanks for this latest batch of videos, David. Your expertise is appreciated and admired. The box in this video is absolutely stunning.
Thank you!
I really enjoy your videos and it is nice to see you using a fine tool from an Australian maker. Chris Vesper makes some lovely tools.
All the best.
It's good to see you back, David.
Thank you!
Beautiful box.
V nice David, thanks for sharing.
No problem!
Thanks for a great video. I would love to know the source of your bevel gauge shown in the video.
David, easy for you, for the rest of us, not easy at all, fun to watch though...
Thanks. :-)

I will watch the video again and have a go!

If it doesn't work perhaps you could ask David for you money back...oh wait ;p
Great video
David, how about a rising dovetail demonstration?
I'm happy to have a go, what is a rising dovetail?

I would like to try this method but I want more angle. Do I need a different jig than the 4:1? I use his 6:1 which works wonderfully. thanks!!
Beautiful work. But what about true compound dovetails where both tail board and pin board are angled?
Where did you get your red and gold dovetail guides? They look sharp
how you make the bottoms on your boxes?
Hello, David. Love your guides and am have just started using them. Question on this box and method though... at the beginning of the video you said that the ends of the box are at a 10 degree angle. Is that correct or are they at 7 degrees?
That is some sliding bevel.

Hi David, you are right, I should have thought of that! All the best, David.
Hi David, will this 7 degree 1:4 and 90 degree work for compound dovetails?
It would have been good to have the camera at a different angle - all we could see was your hand and the saw. I have to read or watch some more tutorials on which side the 90 degree goes on versus the angle.

David what make is that bevel you are using
Thanks Peter
Hi Peter, the gauge is by Chris Vesper. All the best, David.
If Roy Underhill can do it, you can do better, yes you can...
That box is gorgeous! this video takes most of the terror out of angled dovetails. I can give it a shot, now!
Thank you and good luck!
Agree, very beautiful box.
