Re: Work Bench

I used the Louis Volpp method of cutting the dovetails with the table saw. I glued up some 2x6 spruce and made a few practice joints until I was comfortable cutting into the 8/4 hard maple. You can just google table saw dovetails to watch the 3 part u-tube video on how this method works. It's a very accurate method of cutting dovetails.

Cheers! Kev
