Making a Dovetail Guide | Paul Sellers

Often, we woodworkers make boxes the same size over and over again, especially if or when we sell them. I designed this dovetail guide to replicate the same-sized dovetails to the four corners of the box we make and make dozens of boxes if we have a batch production run of them.
You need to lay out only once, no matter how many dovetails you make and the dovetails will even be interchangeable. Additionally, you can vary the dovetail sizes proportionally by sliding the workpiece up and down the guide for larger or smaller dovetails too.
I hope you enjoy this little nugget!

Of the hundreds of dovetail videos on YT, this is probably one of the best. Bravo, Mr. Sellers.

@davidtimperley4241 Год назад

Yet again such a simple idea, but brilliant at the same time. And the next time I have multiple dovetails to cut I will use this method. Thanks Paul

@knowledgeisgood9645 Год назад

So simple. Just lovely.

@Mr_Rick Год назад

There's no other like you Paul. I learn so much from you in my journey. Thank you so much!

@maciej9280 Год назад

wow this must be the first time i seen someone make a jig for hand tool woodworking :) simple yet supper efective

@Afro408 Год назад

If only I'd had you as my shop teacher in 1965, instead of 'Whacker Wright' who always had a piece of half inch square rod to 'Wack' you on the arse with, I might have actually been able to make a decent dovetail joint!! 😅😅😅 I haven't been game to try to make one since. Thank you Paul. It is so simple and elegant. 👏👏

What a great shortcut. Cheers, Paul.

@MrBerryK Год назад

I was wondering at first what was going on, then he slid the drawer side DOWN, and WOW! It all made sense!!

@stufarnham Год назад

Oh, now THAT is clever!

@mattevans-koch9353 Год назад

Thank you Mr. Sellers for sharing your years of experience.

@dburd58 Год назад

I'm new to making dovetails and this will be a great help!! Thanks

@pidgeonpost Год назад

Great idea. I only cut dovetails occasionally but have found your videos very helpful in achieving accuracy. This is one of the simplest ideas, and one of the best. Thank you.

@mdhebert Год назад

clever, simple, and quick. I will definitely use this.

@aremuolayode8661 2 месяца назад

This is brilliant! Thank you for sharing your technique

@dancody3025 Год назад

Mr Sellers you are a genius! I can't wait to try this. Thank you.

@kevinwright3564 Год назад

Simple, but ingenious. Another great video, sir.

@joeleonetti8976 Год назад

Thanks Paul. This past Christmas I made a number of boxes of the same size. I tried ganging up to cut the dovetails to "speed" things up and was disappointed with the results. I will keep this in mind on future projects where I want a set box size for rapid duplication. I really like the elegant simplicity of this as well as your recent end grain shooting board.

@LinauLee Год назад

Paul, your show is always so clever & easy to follow. Thank you for sharing another great idea. hUgz from this old gal in Ohio, Lee

@mnzrk Год назад

If you make that guide make sure to mark which side is supposed to be the face and which is back for when you cuts aren’t exactly equidistant.

@christopherharrison6724 10 месяцев назад

As always your methods and teachings are far superior to those who follow in your wake thanks for sharing Mr Sellers.

@dragomirdichev1196 Год назад

That is a brilliant idea, I need to try that. Thanks Mr. Sellers.

@Jacks.Smirking.Revenge Год назад

"Guide us not wearing out unless I waggle the saw around a whole lot" I have never before today heard someone use the word "waggle", and I must say, it had me crying laughing! 🤣🤣 Thank you for the unexpected but surely welcomed vocabulary lesson Paul😊😂 And this goes without saying but I'll continue to do so, THANK YOU GOOD SIR for sharing, teaching, and passing on your in depth/large knowledge of the awesome craft that is woodworking. Since I started just a year ago, you have been one of,if not THE biggest inspiration of mine. Thank you for everything Paul! Edit.... I cannot wait to try this cool looking guide method, it looks wicked neat haha

@pmelchman Год назад

Genius Paul. Thanks for the tip. 😊

@paulschraith2578 9 месяцев назад

Awesome tips! I really like the “backer board”, so ingenious, so accurate, and so repeatable!

@timearll266 Год назад

I’ve been using a magnetic guide for dovetails the past couple years but this trick looks way faster even for one box. 🎉

@thomashverring9484 Год назад

That's brilliant, Paul! Thank you!

@conorcullen1 Год назад

Really clever. I definitely going to make one myself

@stefanomenicucci8036 Год назад

Bellissimo! Eccezionale. La copierò subito!

@johnford7847 Год назад

Very useful information. Thanks for sharing.

@Mr_Rick Год назад

Paul.... Just confirming... though you could offset the guide for each different board width it's probably best to make a separate jig for each board width. Correct? Your thoughts?

@zoranpetrovski3051 Год назад

Awesome work 👏

@HWCism Год назад

Pretty cool, thanks

@marcmcgettigan3580 Год назад

Fantastic thanks

@vincethomrm Год назад

Quite invaluable information indeed. Thank you. Now, how about a video showing how to make a dovetail guide? 🤔

@FirstMM Год назад

Do you mean like Paul's "How to make Dovetail Templates" video from 3 years ago? ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-4RR4knRkDa8.html&ab_channel=PaulSellers

@roman_le Год назад

That's nice.

@TheAlvusapis Год назад

What is the advantage of that horizontal backer board. Why not identical vertical board and get two guides?

@MCsCreations Год назад

That's just brilliant, Paul! Thanks a bunch!!! 😃 Just one question, how much degrees do you use? 6 or 8? Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

@Mr_Rick Год назад

He uses a 1:7 ratio. 8 degrees.

@MCsCreations Год назад

@@Mr_Rick Thank you! 🖖😊

@michaelwright1852 Год назад

Don't you need a separate guide for the tails?

@EnterTheDeep Год назад

As a complete beginner i noticed you used a dovetail guide to make your dovetail guide, im so confused... also what is the function of the sacrificial peice of wood? Is it just easier to cut square across two rather than the one?

@SoundsToBlowYourMind Год назад

He has videos from a few years ago showing how to make the smaller dovetail guide that he uses to mark out the lines to make this guide! The other piece of wood just allows you to mark a longer line to align the saw with, making it easier to see that the saw is square to the wood.

@farrier2708 Год назад

I hate your vid's, Paul. Not really! You always make me ask "Why on Earth didn't I think of that?" Thanks for constantly reminding me that every day is a school day.
