DOVETAIL JOINT
The dovetail joint is the top 'player' of woodworking joints. The wedge-shaped pins and tails are cut on mating pieces which resist being pulled apart.
Noted for its resistance to being pulled apart (tensile strength), the dovetail joint is commonly used to join the sides of a drawer to the front.
The dovetail is beautiful and strong, but among the most difficult joints to execute.
Dovetails can be hand cut, using a combination of careful saw and chisel work, or cut with an array of available router templates, ensuring proper alignment of the pins and tails.
In either case, careful layout and patient attention to detail are essential.If dovetail joints are poorly made they will lose the advantage of strength and durability.
