Tapered Sliding Dovetails

The sliding tapered dovetail is a very strong joint that is commonly used in drawer dividers, joining a table top to the legs and more. In this video Frank takes the mystery out of this seemingly complex joint. Using a few common woodworking hand tools and a slight variation on the techniques used for cutting tenons and dados, anyone can make this useful joint. Practice it with this simple exercise and then try incorporating it in your next project. Visit www.heritagewoodschool.com for more information about available classes and resources.
