    John....I do most of my dovetails in pine. It is difficult but can be mastered. Pine tends to tear, rip or shred before slicing when using chisels. Try changing your chisel primary bevel to 17 - 20°. You'll be surprised.

    When I abandoned the PC Omni-Jig, I made these to help with layout. The angles are subject to discussion and application.

    Lew.... those are quite useful. I like them. I made several layout gauge sets as well that I learned from Paul Sellers. He had a YouTube about it. Shown here below are ratios 1:7 and 1:8. But I also have two others, 1:4 and 1:6.

    Love them! Great for laying out your tails and/or pins.
