Cropped view from the top. Stopped sliding dovetails are closest, and you can just see my first hand cut dovetails on the bottom. - CLICK TO ENLARGE

This is my first post of some of my work. I was asked to produce an organiser for a desk, specifically using dovetails. I usually use a router for dovetails, but had to cut some by hand. Not the best you would ever see, but still strong.

I dyed alternative pieces just to enhance the visibility of the two parts of the joint.
