And here's the dovetail mortise after routing. The hole visible in the bottom of mortise is for a screw - belts and suspenders. The blade shown here is quartersawn beech, which I'm using at the back of the chest of drawers. The front blades are walnut.
Routing Assistance
Here's the jig in use. Pretty straight forward. It's used with a router with guide bushing. The dovetail mortise is cut in two passes. First with a 3/8" straight bit to clear some material, followed by a 5/8" dovetail bit.
A Preponderance of Clamps
Holy lots of clamps for a jig. This one is for routing the short sliding dovetails used to join vertical dividers to blades on the chest of drawers, 20 in total.
Jointer Love
Fine Woodworking magazine just released a video about my Oliver jointer, which can be viewed here. Thanks to Ben Strano and Jeff Roos of Fine Woodworking magazine for turning my semi coherent ramblings into gold.
The Joinery Never Ends
Double tenons on these blades (the horizontal dividers between drawers) for the chest of drawers. These have a bit more complexity in that the blades wrap around the legs of the chest of drawers to pick up drawer runners. Fun stuff
