Thanks Greg for your Thoughts on Dovetails. Spending an obsessive hour surfing on the web wondering if some day I should buy the Akeda Dovetail Jig or the Leigh Jig I stumbled upon this reminder that hand cut dove tails and other hand tool operations, while sometimes it take a little longer, It doesn’t usually take longer than a factor of 2x. Maybe a little longer than using a power toll. but I agree maybe about a third longer is a good estimate. But then that’s why I do woodworking anyway, to spend the time and enjoy the process. So no, I don’t think I’ll buy either and save the $500.00 or so… Yeah! obsessive moment passes with no money spent. Nice.
