Cheers, Mitch - Навчання та стиль
Such a useful video aimed at explaining the cuts for a compound dovetail joint. Including BOTH a geometrical approach and the alternative simplified scheme was most useful. The use of simple jigs to achieve the appropriate construction lines was so helpful and is easy to implement. Thanks so much demonstrating these ideas in a very clear way!!
Cheers Jeff, much appreciated
2 bevel gauges should help with this. One set to each angle. Good video.
Cheers. Yes, in theory they should, although aligning their stocks correctly on the angled faces can be confusing.
Good info! Thanks for the shout out 😃
Thanks mate
Great job Mitch , most of it is going over my head mate. But I will keep trying HAHA.
Cheers Ken. Just keep it on repeat long enough and it'll go in 😂
lol I JUST got done looking at that in Hayward cross eyed for hours trying to make sense of it.😂😩
Bad enough when you draw it out on paper, let alone when it's just on the screen 😂 But persevere and it will eventually click
Nice!
Cheers
That is a joint that’s always escaped me, am a traditionalist in the sense I can do things by eye, as I’ve never been great at math but I get the concept of the first method, the second method “ seems “ a lot easier yet still very tricky, I can imagine if there was a jig to hold the work at the right angle but then able you’d need to cut those angles. Yeah something I need to learn lol
Using the math will give you the angles to set directly on a table saw or mitre saw, making it easy to get the boards prepped, but for unplugged work the direct method is far simpler. Getting good results is still hard and probably explains why you don't see the joints used in fine furniture 😂
👍👍👍👍
Thank you
You could put a wedge stuck to the marking gauge, that would hold it at the angle and you would not need to mark it on the bench with the square.
We used to have fun and games in the blacksmiths shop back in the 1980s making metal food hoppers to feed grain in a pet food factory, with electronic level sensors etc.
Waffle warning
On one occasion the sensors said the hopper was still above the minimum and did not trigger the refill worm screw conveyor but nothing cam out of the bottom.
We had to cut a hole in the hopper to see what was going on, the problem was the sensor was on one of the shallow sides and the material did not slid down and trigger the sensor.
Solution was to move the sensor. The electricians days before us turning up tested everything (sensors PLC controller etc) to death without doing the obvious "cut a hole and see"
There is a bit more to the story about the worm screw conveyor was not meant to left full of material because it would possibly burn out the motor if it started full.
Until we turned up they were banging the hopper with a mallet every 10min to make the sophisticated electronic system work.
All the best
Love the story. I think many engineers tend to think only in there own sphere.
