Made an interesting change to the normal maple butcher block counter top. In this house the counter tops went up the side over the top and down the adjoining side. I used jumbo dovetails to connect the top and sides. The fun part was knowing that any mistake would rune the entire top you were working on.

You do great work. Like you said make a mistake and it is ruined. It looks like you made no mistakes. :)

Great looking whatever it is. Now tell us, did you cheat and hand cut the dovetails, or use a jig? Thank you
for sharing.

I jig everything I can, and run samples several times to make sure. That way when I do it for real, I only have to do it once. On this job, it would have been very expensive to do it twice.
Have your say...
