Thank you Ed, that was a very definitive and meaningful explanation.
10 November 2017 at 10:06 am #361657I have been watching the tool chest episode 1. While cutting the dovetails, Paul, first layout the joinery with a pencil. At this point, I can say that I should cut the tail on the waste side of the pencil line so that the line is fully visible. Then he proceeds with the marking knife by saying “right on to my pencil line (min:16:40). My question is shall we make that cut with the knife in the middle of the pencil line or shall we position the square and cut with the knife on the waste side of the pencil line so the knife cut is actually next to the pencil line? Since while sawing, handsaw rests on that knife wall, if I make the knife wall “right on to pencil line” I would be cutting the pencil line, thus the pencil line disappears? Am I getting this idea whole wrong or is there a cure for my craziness? If I can pass that point I know I will be the best carpenter ever 😛
Thanks,
