How to Layout Dovetails with Equal Pins | Paul Sellers

Dividing for dovetails using an angled line makes it easier to layout for equally sized dovetails but, the standard method used leaves half pins on the outside edges. In some projects, this can be a weak point.
This video shows you how to layout for equally sized dovetails and pins. In this case, the board is 5 1/4" (133.35mm), and we want five 1/2" (12.7mm) pins and four dovetails but, this system can be adapted to any variation of numbers and pins sizes.
