What is that angle tool you are using at 1:17?

@modarmakes Ай бұрын

It's called a sliding bevel. Very useful to transfer across exact angles.

This was very educational,so the same process can be used to connect two pieces end to end ??

Thanks! I don't think this would be good for 2 end pieces, as the pin parts would be very weak. But maybe it would work if you're not going to put any weight or force on it.

Nice, but your sawing could use a few pointers. First, unstable work surface is in large part at fault for the inaccuracy of sawing, your bench simply wiggles too much. Secong, you clamp the work piece too high in the vise, creating even more vibrations when cutting. Put the board as low as possible to the jaws, then make the cut. Third, saw along your lines in triangles before you get the knack for dovetails. Start with top line then slowly saw down along the face in a triangle and only then finish the cut at the back of the board, the tails will fit straight of the saw.

Hi Petr, thanks for your comments! Yeah my workbench is VERY unstable, but I'm waiting to move my shed and build a proper bench which will hopefully solve a lot of my problems. I'll improve my sawing techniques as per your advise too. Usually when I cut in triangles, I find that the face where the 2 cuts meet are not flush because I still drift when sawing. Something I'm keen to improve as I go!
