Description



About the Book



"For centuries, dovetail joints have been instrumental in holding wood together. Though modern mass-production of furniture means that most such joints are now machine-cut instead, there is still a place for traditional hand-cut dovetails in low-volume, high-quality furniture making and, increasingly, in the work of the hobbyist woodworker. Dovetails is a comprehensive guide to the hand-tool preparation of dovetail joinery. Containing over 400 photographs and diagrams, it details how to make 28 dovetail joints, from the simplest example through to complicated puzzle joints."--

About the Author



Mitch Peacock is a retired engineer who has been designing and making with wood for over two decades. Almost entirely self-taught, he also teaches many others, in person, online and through magazine articles. He is best known online for his mastery of hand-crafted joints, both Western and Japanese.

Mitch is a regular contributor to Woodworking Crafts and Furniture & Cabinetmaking magazines, and also contributes to a number of other woodworking magazines and forums. Over the years, Mitch has completed a number of private, retail and clerical commissions, and now makes a limited number of woodworking tools, alongside the occasional interesting commission.
