Produced for woodworkers of all skill levels, this video guide is a bare wood-to-finished piece primer on the production of handcut dovetail joints-the hallmark of a fine woodworker's repertoire. Dovetail joints are used to make boxes, cabinets, and drawers, but, as the DVD shows, they can be difficult to produce. Jim Kingshott makes it easy by welcoming viewers into his own workshop and passing on 50 years' worth of experience and knowledge about the tools and techniques used to create a sturdy and beautiful dovetail joint.
