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.

You kiddin me ???!! A router can do this ????

I have had a kickback injury by ripping a bevel on the wrong side of the blade/fence. Only got a deep laceration of my chin, but could have lost half my teeth.
One reason for continued injury rate is that numerous publications and videos show extremely dangerous operations, including your own intro photo. This guy is not wearing any safety equipment, not using a guard or push stick or featherboard, etc. This is extremely irresponsible for publishers of ww. articles. I once almost lost a piece of my finger during a Forstner bit operation on a drill press, and later saw a picture on the COVER of a magazine doing exactly the unsafe operation that had caused my injury. Disclaimers about "guards removed for clarity", written in fine print, are not sufficient.
