Rather than bury this in the Desk thread....corner work for the desk means dovetails.. I jointed the edges. Nice to have a square end to work from.. Laid out the pins first ( Easy to mark out the tails later) then a bit of saw work... This is now my "Go-to" saw for joinery...my other good saw stayed down at Charles Neil's place... Have to remember which is removed, and which isn't. Cut the edge ones off, which left this.. This is how I chop out the waste...I leave a tab out on the end, because... It supports the waste until it pops out. Got all this done.. NOW I can use this to lay out the tails.. Not sure about anyone else, but I am terrible at angled cuts....cheated and used the bandsaw. I stayed on the waste side of the lines, trying to leave the lines.. Then back to chopping.. Same as before. Then flip over and chop some more, until the waste pops out.. Maybe a little clean up? Dry fit to see ... Close enough for the girls I run with? One corner done, three to go... And that is how I do dovetails....
