The dovetail joint is a traditional and very versatile corner joint for drawers and furniture carcasses. In this course, we will explain how to mark out and cut the more basic through dovetails by hand, before moving on to half-blind dovetails. For this, we will be focussing on the traditional German design method that is still taught in the cabinetmaking trade today. This course is aimed at woodworkers with good basic knowledge in the use of hand tools, who want to explore dovetail joint making or refresh their skills.
We recommend the following tools:
  • Chisel set, 6 to 26 mm
  • Hammer or mallet
  • Fine-tooth saw
  • Marking tools: marking gauge, square, sliding bevel, ruler and pencil

For practising, we recommend the following solid wood/glued wood:
Width: 80 mm to 150 mm
Thickness: 15 mm to 25 mm
Length: from 150 mm
You can use any type of wood (e.g. pine, alder or beech). When preparing for a particular project, it is advisable to use the same wood for practising on as you will for the subsequent workpiece.
