Curved Dovetails

[Dave Richards]

I'm thinking about doing a tutorial on how I drew these dovetails. They're graduated in size and spacing and the outside surfaces of the box are curved. I used a graphical way of laying out the joint and ended up with a template that could be printed to transfer the joint to the wood. Would this make people's heads explode or would it be of interest?

never hurts to watch,, but after just getting the regular ones done,, i dont see me making these very soon but we could use your version of how you done the regular ones, in slow motion..

[Bill Arnold]

I'd like to see how you did that. I can make some assumptions, but I'd rather see how it should be done first!

[Dave Richards]

Thanks guys. This will end up being a Design. Click. Build. tutorial.

You know making my dove tails sometimes I clicked on the wrong place with the wrong thing a ma jig opened and some times I got one side that looked sorta like that....Are we supposed to be able to repeat that look at will?

Well, I played around with it today, since there's no NASCAR for another week! I'm itchin' to see if I did it right.

Bill, it looks like there are no gaps and it all fits so you did it right.

Thanks, Dave. BUT, there's a difference between getting it done and doing it the way it should be done. I'm looking forward to your tutorial.
