Cutting the Dovetails on the Chest Sides
 |
Figure 7. Cutting the dovetails on the case sides.
SAPFM What type of saw are you using? Make/Model?
DAVIS I have a weakness for old brass backed hand saws. I’m
using my Spear and Jackson No. 14 to cut these pins.
SAPFM How are you clamping the side while it is being cut?
DAVIS I clamped the side in an end vise and shimmed in a block
to help with the clamp pressure on the curved face.
SAPFM What pin angle do you use?
DAVIS About 9-10 degrees.
