  Category Description

Well executed hand-cut dovetails are one of the things which distinguish the accomplished craftsman because they require preparation, practice and precision. - We've assembled products well suited to the task in one location for convenience.

    Tool notes:
  • Lie-Nielsen Dovetail Saw: For over 200 years American & European craftsmen used this style of saw because it provides comfort and consistency
  • Tite-Mark Marking Gauge: The standard 7 in. model is a good choice - Choose the Tite Mark III if you plan to do mortises as well
  • Starrett Combination Square: The 4 in. size is well suited to dovetails.
  • Hardwood & Urethane Mallets: The 20 oz size is most popular for dovetails - these protect your chisels from damage and still give good feedback
  • Chisels: Most people use bevel edge chisels to chop out dovetails. Dovetail chisels are helpful because of their triangular profile. Skew chisels allow access to difficult areas especially in half-blind dovetails
  • Training: Rob Cosman's DVD's are up-to-date and thorough - Tage Frid's classic book on furniture making has detailed photos and instructions for cutting dovetails
