Houndstooth Dovetail Tutorial

For those of you who never venture beyond the comforting boundaries of the Hand Tool board: Houndstooth Dovetail Tutorial

And shouldn't that be "Hound's Tooth"...? :-k

Cheers, Alf

Nice to see the mitre-clamp (aka picture framing clamp) used for marking. I'd recomend the aluminium ones Axminster sell - nice and light.

What chisels are those? Ashley Isles?

Yep, and I love 'em loads. Just required a lot of flattening when new :roll:

I pondered on the Hound's tooth or houndstooth question.

I figured that the name refers to a resemblance to a hound's tooth, but does not refer to a particular hound and so I opted for houndstooth as a name rather than a reference to one hound and it's tootth

I notice L-N's site goes for Houndstooth, so I just assumed you'd gone with what it said on the tin, er, box. 'Twas more a rhetorical musing, like wot I'm prone to do.

Glad to see the particular hand tool board stay-at-home I had in mind spotted the particular thing I thought he might spot.

Cheers, Alf
