How to Make this Strong Alternative Dovetail Joint

A little I'll use the chisel just to keep it slightly aligned so I can accurately drill a hole in the correct position for the pin. I will

the peg solid. I need a 3/8 inch pin, which is 9.5mm. My pin making machine went down in half millimeter increments, so it worked great. I cut the pin a little further down and then rounded the edge and it ended up being perfect so now it's ready to try. I added a small piece of plywood to the side and

s it a little easier to line up the work and then attach the work.

We place the thinner shoulder towards the front of the template and the last part of the setup is finding the starting position and lining it up. a little bit to the outside of the workpiece just adjusting the fence and I'm using a 1-2-3 block but anything square, a piece of plywood or whatever, I'll delete the other end of the fence as well just to make To make sure it doesn't twist at all, I simply loosen the ends from the ends with a scoring knife. It only takes a few seconds and the

will come together more easily.

Let's keep our fingers crossed to see if they come together. There was quite a bit of talk about how long the concerts would take. They really didn't take that long and these take less. I'll just summarize what it takes to make these

s: you need some mortise, a couple of bushings and a couple of hose clamps and it takes 5 minutes to put together. Then there is the base and the template and they don't cost much, just a couple of screws and it takes ten minutes each and the last part to do the other side. The joint takes about 20 minutes and is made with just pieces of plywood.

I have no idea what we call the binding, but it's very sturdy, looks good, and only takes about a minute to make each side. I hope you enjoy the video. Please like and subscribe. Thank you.
