Hi everyone
I'm just getting into woodworking and want to learn the fine art of dovetailing as early as possible. I've got a few small projects in mind that would require dovetails. I already have access to a cheap hardened point tenon saw and was wondering if (at this early stage) a dovetail saw is really worth the £50 Veritas are asking for the particular one I'm looking at. Also, if I did get a dovetail saw, should I go for the 14tpi or the 20tpi, considering I will be cutting a wide variety of softwoods and hardwoods in different widths. I will not be buying a second dovetail saw, so which one is the best all rounder?
Thanks in advance
