The process is the same, except that you cut just one slope on the logs instead of two. As before, scribe upward with parallel lines. Package includes working drawings, a cutting list, and a 3d SketchUp model. October 19, 2005 Once you have done that, you should be able to do a drawer in about 45 seconds (or less). Keep in mind however, when cutting the corresponding sockets of these dovetails in the next part of this series, you will not be able to use the guide. Jig Finish If we made plain, flat, square notches, taking 4 parts from the top and 4 parts from the bottom of each log, that would add up to 8 parts—half the height of the log. So we need to strive for a nice tight fit here! 0000014739 00000 n

I have no evidence to prove a connection, but a framing square, with its standard 2-inch blade and 1 1/2-inch tongue is perfectly proportioned to lay out dovetail corners on 8-inch-high logs. ", Dust Collection, Safety and Plant Operation, Job Opportunities and Woodworking Services, Notching out for drawer hardware is tricky, slow, and sometimes blows out a dovetail. 0000012168 00000 n
The dovetail notch is a … Moravian settlers brought this disciplined manner of building into North Carolina, and it certainly must have impressed the English.

An easy way to get around this is to clamp 2-4 of the components together in the vice at once. Such square notching would close the gaps between the logs, but it would have no interlock at all. The short answer is, that we can do a better job of fitting the notches together cutting them by hand which results in a nicer, tighter building.
