Thank you. Workmate? I had trouble with it, too low and does not feel right...although my parts have been much smaller. Maybe just wring combination to me. I have been looking those paint scraper blades, but all seem way too small, like 5 mm wide and under 2 mm thich. Whitch size/brand/model you use for dovetails? Pekka |

Hi Phil, for the column dovetails I used a camelback straight edge. For the table dovetails I used the straight edge that I have shown in on other video that I posted on this forum. This straight edge has a clearance machined on the topside so it can get under the dovetail. The table and column served as the master for the knee and carriage and so a precise dovetail angle is not necessary. |

Where did you manage to pick up your camelback straight edges from? I keep looking on eBay and never see them in the UK. Phil. |

Hi Phil, I bought something like this for the dovetails: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/10pcs-50mm-2-Carbide-Scraper-Blades-To-Suit-Linbide-Stanley-Hand-Held-Scrapers-/172250301095?var=&hash=item281aeb02a7:m:mtDCtXhjnq1BIMOdSlY-WCw I found the straight edges on ebay. Nobody seem to be looking for them at the time so I got the 30" for £15 and the 48" for £30 :drool: |
