Wanting an ambitious project, I want to compare methods of cutting a sliding blind dovetail dado, joint and housing, by hand before I start in earnest. Tools, jigs, angles tips etc.
I’ve cut plenty of dovetails over the years, but never ventured into making a sliding dado, yet. It will be equal to the top of a chest, about 500mm long in oak, and as I said, blind.
This is a demanding bit of work, and I don’t want to use machines for this sort of thing. Any ideas?
