seeemore writes: Have been experimenting with different methods to mark thin tails on rabbeted drawfronts. Knives seem to wander in my hands, and the access was difficult. I took an old chisel, and ground the thickness to just allow it to pass through the narrowest space between the (bandsawn cut) tails. With a light tap, and visualizing its perpendicular application, it leaves a clear mark the entire length of the tail. The drawerfront was held in a Moxon style vice and the tailboard clamped in place for the procedure. Still have a long way to go with my technique, and was glad to see the plethora of articles on repairing defective dovetails. I also "invented" a method to disguise defective dovetails. In addition to the usual endgrain wedges, I also tried cuting endgrain, tailshaped "veneers", chiselling out a hollow in the exposed tail, and gluing it in. .
I have not seen either of these techniques previously reported.

Mundificant writes: I strongly suggest making your DVDs more affordable. You have now priced them at parity with a printer book, and as a professional a long time in the field/business, your subscribers should know that charging $20 for a $0.30 CD is simply an unsustainable business model.

Perhaps instead of continually offering us very deeply discounted DVD materials (collections of past versions of Fine Woodworking, etc., you could just stop insulting our intelligence and offer us the same material (including this nice sounding DVD on dovetail making), for an up front price that was reasonable, say $5 plus $1 postage. I'm willing to bet that you'd sell thousands of them!

Them's my two cents, and I hope that I win the DVD :-)

Dama09 writes: Dovetails cut by hand gives the box or item a unique look. I would love to master the hand tools and have the skill set that woodworkers had many years ago before powertools. Here in Hawaii at the Iolani Palace there is a music box that is well over 100 years old and the skills that it took to make that and the details are really awesome.

I've always learned by watching others and doing myself. I recently retired from corporate America, and this is one skill I have promised myself I would learn before the end of my first year of retirement...and this DVD sounds like it would be a great place to start!

My plan, while I still have my health, is to move beyond being the weekend warrior/family handyman, trying to find enough time to improve our humble abode with bookcases, built-ins, storage, etc.

If I win, I will definitely write back with an in-depth review...and if it can get me on the right path, it will work for anyone!

I am waiting on the mailman to bring me this copy of this very good DVD. I know that Stephen Hammer knows how to make Dovetails.
Thank You
