    The 5 stages of watching Jimmy build stuff.
    1: This looks like it's going to be interesting.
    2: Well I've never seen that technique before.
    3: The heck are you doing JImmy?
    4: What? Just What?
    5: OMG its BEAUTIFUL!

      Jimmy is a genius at what he does, but there's no need to try to portray him as a welder of the caliber of which you're speaking of.

    • @1pcfred
      @1pcfred 7 місяців тому +7

      As the name suggests dovetail joints look like a dove's tail. They're angled fan like. \ / What's used here is called a box joint. Which is often confused with dovetails due to a superficial similarity. They are considerably different joints though. You'd be hard pressed to cut decent dovetails on a table saw. I won't say it can't be done but no one does it. machined dovetails are cut with a router and a jig template.

    • @dougidoug
      @dougidoug 7 місяців тому

    • @ejthompson4950
      @ejthompson4950 7 місяців тому +1

      @@1pcfred You can cut decent dovetails on a table saw, but you have to build jigs to make it happen. I want to say Tamar at 3x3 customs made a video about it years ago, and made some damn good joints with it. They didn't look hand cut, but they were certainly dovetails. Although given the jig and the setup time, if I were using a table saw I'd go box joint as it's a much easier and more repeatable setup. So you're right, it can be done on a table saw but it's a lot of work.

    • @1pcfred
      @1pcfred 7 місяців тому +1

      @@ejthompson4950 the main problem is the corners of the tails are not right angles. So they cannot be cut properly with right angle tools. No jig can change that either. You'd need a beveled blade to cut that angled corner. But no one has one of those. If you want to machine cut dovetails you use a router. That's the sensible solution. It's what everyone does.

    • @kronographer
      @kronographer 7 місяців тому +1

      @@1pcfred ridge carbide makes beveled blades for making exactly that sort of cut. I don’t remember if Tamar used special blades or cleaned up the corners with hand tools. It is possible and the tooling exists but unless you’ve got a production shop setup running multiple table saws for each blade type and angle…. No one is really using the tablesaw method at home.
