Interesting video on hand cut dovetails

[dltflt]

Just ran across this on You Tube and thought it was interesting. He makes it look easy to make hand cut dovetails. Dovetails

When he cuts out the waste at around 2:30, it is fascinating to see how that blade turns to horizontal.  [eek] [eek]  I thought only a very narrow blade could do that. Slick.

That is what caught my eye also. Amazing if you ask me.

It's a special type of blade which I think has not been made in decades.  I read somewhere about somebody finding a few NOS and how excited Frank was to receive one of them.  In addition to having the blade forged to twist like that I think the teeth are graduated.

"If it's too tight, don't force it. Just get a bigger hammer." Classic.

I’ve seen this video before and I am still amazed how accomplished this guy is.

Fantastic!
Don't know why, but the Marx Brothers kept coming into my mind as I watched. Strange.......
