This video allows you to make sliding dovetails for cabinet drawers without the need for expensive Jigs or Templates.
You can make drawer fronts to hide the drawer slides with this method.
The Dovetail Joint is great for pull-apart strength and helps with assembly.

This is another simple technique that any woodworker can do with their router table. And you can use this tip for many of your projects.

  • Very nice. I really got what you were doing and how it worked. It's a nice technique and a very good video.

  • nice job good explanations.

  • thank you sir. your video is one of the few out there that takes the sound into consideration. thank you for turning down the sound while cutting the dovetail, and adding a separate audio track so we were able to hear you. more people should take this into consideration in their shop videos.
