    Paul

    Would you demo making sliding dovetails to join a cabinet shelf to the sides of a cabinet, and cabinet sides to the bottom of  a cabinet?

    Thanks, Larry

    Although I’d like to see this as well I would also like to know if this technique offers any advantages over a stopped housing dado which I think are a lot simpler to make.

    I think the advantage might be that the joint doesn’t rely on glue, because it is an interlocking joint. I am sure Paul will address this technique somewhere in the future, but for now it’s beyond the basics as far as I know. Don’t get me wrong, I also like to see him making a sliding dovetail.

    I would also be very interested in seeing this, since I’m building a cabinet with a divider installed by sliding dovetail.  Although it’s not Paul, Roy Underhill presents a tapered sliding dovetail in some detail in this episode: http://www.pbs.org/woodwrightsshop/video/3000/3008.html.  I followed his directions and the 2nd and 3rd ones came out quite well.

    the link above works if you remove the period at the end.

    Sorry about that, guys.  Completely didn’t notice the period being captured by the auto-htmlify.
