For You Lot Making A Dovetail Alignment Board

I'm planning on doing only about curt courses towards the goal of the yr at my workshop inward Southampton. One of the projects volition survive on dovetailing, making this real useful alignment board.
Stage i is to shoot an border in addition to thus carefully cut back to width on the ring saw, earlier shooting the other edge.

The board I've chosen is only about lovely quarter sawn oak for stability in addition to the cutting was made using my sled on the tabular array saw.

The cutting needs to survive just foursquare thus I lined the 2 pieces on a dead apartment surface amongst no gap, every bit yous would expect. By reversing i of the pieces if at that spot is whatsoever divergence from foursquare it volition survive doubled in addition to at nowadays visible. Of course of report yous tin entirely purpose this technique if you've taken attention to brand certain the board was just the same width all the agency along.

Again no gap thus all is well.

Using my 1:6 magnetic guide in addition to 372 saw the tails were cutting in addition to thus chiselled out.

With the pins marked out in addition to cutting it all went together directly from the saw in addition to was cleaned upwardly amongst a smoother.

The dovetails don't actually present until the start coat of complete is applied, inward this illustration only about Osmo difficult wax oil. The board looks a process in addition to is gear upwardly for the side fences.
