I'd be honored to take some bits from Precision for a "spin!" :) I've got several projects on the list that will require quite a bit of router use so I should be able to give them a good workout. E-mail sent, and thanks again!Petehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12128921553833942986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1213997404957676032.post-70474430498198585142013-01-09T10:20:38.878-08:002013-01-09T10:20:38.878-08:00Hi, Its' Fay from precisionbits.com.

I would be happy to send them your way. Perhaps you can incorporate a couple of the bits into your project.

I'll try stepping away a bit as well.<br /><br />My bigest struggles are with cutting straight and starting the cut. I guess that's why we practice! :)Petehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12128921553833942986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1213997404957676032.post-45921885229975237972013-01-03T08:59:50.450-08:002013-01-03T08:59:50.450-08:00Your results speak for themselves!

So many of the dovetail a day folks I see are making only a single tail joint and this is much easier than the multiple tail ones where errors can compound. <br />Your method for chopping is the same one I was taught by Chuck Bender and it works great. One thing to remember though with a soft wood like Pine is that you may still need to step away from the wall for the first couple chops. The soft wood will still deform if you drop the chisel right into that narrow wall. That may explain those small gaps on your baselines. Other than that, leave the stopwatch in the house, this isn't a race and why add stress to the exercise. Your dad would be proud.Shannonhttp://renaissancewoodworker.comnoreply@blogger.com
