A lot has been written about cutting dovetails, so I'll just touch on it here. This piece is being built as a spec piece for my Tucson art fair. I want to show off a little here, so I will make these drawers with hand cut dovetails. I have built many drawers using other joints and pins, they are much faster. This method is very old as there are some Egyptian tomb furniture pieces with dovetails and even a model of a wood shop showing craftsman at work, pretty cool.
