Hello all,
I have come to a point in my woodworking journey were I have decided it’s time to try my hand a dove tails. I have been looking at several sights on the net about hand cutting them and have learned a lot. I have also looked at several jigs (leigh, pc, rockler etc.).
I'm leaning toward learning how to hand cut them. I could however see how a jig would be good for speed if you were making several drawer boxes at once, but I don’t foresee that in the near future. It’s also hard to justify the cost of the jigs if I would only use them a couple times a year.
I guess my question is does anyone have any recommendations for books or videos on hand cutting dove tails? What type of moderately priced dove tail saw would you suggest?
