Description: When sizing the dovetail it would be easier to remove some (~1/2” or so) of the side supports so that you can test fit the male dovetail in the dovetail channel. And if it’s too snug adjust the router fence accordingly and remove more of the sidewalls of the dovetail (male). Also, when making the dovetail (male), the height of the bit will determine if it contacts the bottom of the dovetailed channel; this is easier to get right then the side to side fit of the dovetail (the bit should be slightly lower than what is used to make the dovetail channel). After the dovetail fits nicely with a test fit, the remaining side supports can be removed. I could have explained this better in the video ;) Visit my Amazon store for tools I use in my videos: garagewoodworks.com/GW-azn.php Please Support Free Content through Patreon: patreon.com/garagewoodworks Jigs and project plans for sale: garagewoodworks.com/GW_Store.php Newsletter garagewoodworks.com/registration.php On Instagram: instagram.com/garagewoodworks Follow all of the safety rules that come with your power tools.
