First Incra Dovetails

[TN Woodie]

I tried the incra system on finger joints as soon as I unpacked it but now things are a bit more settled and I had the time to try dovetails with some poplar.

It took several tries to get a good joint, refining my techniques and learning to keep the wood either square or flat to the table and getting the depth of cut just right. I don't think it will be very hard the next time. I also have problems following directions, since I always know just what to do. Not!

Anyway, it worked out pretty well, except in my opinion with the glue and finishing. I am not yet happy with that process and I know I have a lot of work to do before I am.

Nice looking dovetails.

Nice job. I also have an Incra system on my router table. I really like it. You can't beat having a nice fence and not having to buy other stuff to make dovetails and box joints.

Again good job.

Very nice, especially for the first ones. The Incra is nice, but it will definitely have you scratching at least your head, till the methodology becomes clear.
