This is a follow up to the class “Hand Cut Dovetails for Beginners”. Half blind dovetails are typically used when joining drawer sides to a drawer front. This class will emphasize:

a) how to mark out half-blind dovetails on your stock,

b) proper sawing technique and

c) proper chiseling technique.

This class is not designed to make students experts in cutting half-blind dovetails, however we hope to teach students the basic tools and skills needed to cut blind dovetails, allowing them to improve their skills in the future.

Please include your name as visible when registering so the instructor can email any handouts prior to class.
