176369 Par Leijonhufvud <par@h...> Jan-16-2008 18th century tools for sliding half dovetails?
I was perusing a book on Swedish 18th century furniture (and how to make
them), and noticed a heavy use of hald sliding dovetails for
shelfs (i.e. the lower half has dovetailed, the upper was straight. Now
my question is; what tools was (likely) used in making the "slots"?
