    Great videos! Meticulous craftsmanship and talent. I have begun a woodwork evening course. I thought I was relatively good with tools, as I studied sculpture at Uni, but apparently my sawing was woeful! Watching your sawing technique I can see where I am going wrong! Totally agree with the marking gauge comment, the veritas looks superior to the community college variety!, thank you keep up the great work!

    Sean, when putting the board in the vice to cut the tails, you can use the dovetail marker/guide against the vice to set the saw lines vertical. Although this is easier to see on video than write down!

    Sean, great tips from start to finish. I think you are using an adjustable saw frame from Cooksongold. Are you using saw blades from them? I’ve bought some but they seem smaller than the blades I see in the video. Please could you say where you source your blades. Andrew

  • @Scott-Witter

    Sean, when you cut your tails after removing the tape, are you cutting right to the edge of the tape and are you chiseling them clean afterward? I ask because your joints are super tight.

    • @SeanEvelegh
      @SeanEvelegh  8 місяців тому

      Hi Scott, I aim to get the joint straight from the saw so yes I cut right on the edge. Sometimes the cut might not be perfect and you have to tweak the wall with a chisel. But its good practice and faster if you can get the joint direct from the saw.

    Cool! Love the pin board remover, didn’t know that one. Wondering... if you saw on both sides, isn’t it contradictory with sawing from the show face ? Another dilemma for me: I tried to make the invisible baseline by marking it after the tail transfer, BUT when using masking tape, I basically roll off the tape while gauging, which ruins my marking. Any tip on this besides skipping invisible baseline after transfer gauging ?

    • @SeanEvelegh
      @SeanEvelegh  4 роки тому

      Hi mate, glad you liked the video. Yes I do agree, I just wanted to show alex's method for people that just want to focus on one angle. I always keep the show face toward me and saw both angles. So yes you cannot do both method together. With the invisible baseline, I should cover that in my next video, I going to walk through my whole dovetail cutting process.

    Hi Sean....great video! We been watching you for a long time now. I want to master making dovetails so bad. This has been so helpful. Can't wait to try out your way. Silly question...how often do you change the blade on your fret saw?

    • @SeanEvelegh
      @SeanEvelegh  4 роки тому

      Hey mate, thanks a lot! I'm thrilled the videos are helpful! To be honest I think I have only ever changed the blade once. I only use that fret saw for removing dovetail waste, so it doesn't get alot of abuse.
