Handmade Dovetails with Tage Frid

Handmade Dovetails with Tage Frid


When world-renowned woodworking teacher Tage Frid dovetails a drawer, he brings 60 years of woodworking experience to the task. Here, Frid shows you how to lay out both half-blind and through dovetails; how to rough-saw and chisel-out the pins and tails (yes, it's pins first - and he tells why); how to assemble and square up a drawer; and how to fix inevitable problems with the fit of the joint. Along the way, Frid gives great tips on chisel technique, on getting super-clean inside corners on the half-blind tailboard, on sharpening chisels and scrapers, and on gluing, planing, and sanding the finished joints. There's a lot of expertise and clever woodworking in this video!
