Appreciation post: the old timer who ripped my drawer boxes apart at the woodworking show
I was proud of my dovetails until a guy at the woodworking show in Portland looked at a drawer box and pointed out that my pins and tails were both 1/2 inch, so nothing locked. I switched to 1/4 inch pins and wider tails and the joints stopped sliding apart when I dry fit them. How do you figure out your spacing, do you lay it out by eye or use a gauge?
