cutmantom I have seen Roy cut them on tv also.
wseand Robby is the one i saw cutting dovetails for a casket. I am wanting to make a toolbox that is from the 1700 to 1800 period. I have some hand tools from that time and am wanting to store them in a proper place.
lwilms thats close. If i could master that i could master what i am looking for.
Pete I will look for that issue.
captainskully i will try to see if i can find it there. I have seen some very extreme jointery from Japan

Thanks guys

Did you ever wonder about why they even bother to put those "Look Inside" features on? They didn't bother to show anyting that isn't coverred iin a thousand other books. I certainly would not be interested by what Amazon showed me :-((

What else does he cover in the books?

They are not as hard as they look at first glance. My wife wanted a quickie cheap box for a school display, so I took the opportunity to try them . Just like flat square dovetails, cut the pins or tails then the other. Need to keep your wits about you though. A bit easier to get confused ;-))

OK JOY
Chad Stanton has let the cat out of the bag.
First I want to thank everyone with there kindness and help on my quest to do this. I am a visual person and unless I see it done it doesn't compute. I have bought books, googled till I'm blue in the face, and have failed every time on the layout. Chad has shown a method that is simple and with what I would call a setup block. I repete thank you all from the top of the list down to the bottom.

Thank you Skarp it will be added to my arsenal. I am determined to make something for myself and store it in the attic. It will be the last thing I use. (kinda morbid, sorry) I might make a couple toolboxes for practice. ;)

I want to thank all of you that have helped me on this journey. My joinery is not perfect. Nor will never be. I am human and it is wood. This is a joint that has intrigued me for some time. It was all done by hand from the plane to saw to chisel. Thank you all for your help.
