Okay I am getting ready to make some sliding dovetails, or at least an
attempt at them. ( I am destructing a secretary desk modified for my
use as a humidor, and it calls for sliding dovetails.] Has anyone had
the pleasure of doing a sliding dovetail that is about 24 inches long?
Any suggestions on getting this done properly would be great. I do
have a Bench Dog 150 router table but am not sure that I could keep
the piece (shelf) steady enough to make a good clean route. The shelf
is 3/4 inch stock by about 36 long, by 24 inch wide, glued up of black
walnut. Is there a simple jig that can be made, or is it one
necessary?
Then again maybe I am not ready for this joint but just getting very
prepared.
Thanks for your assistance.
Mikie :-)
