Dovetails the European Way

Anyone seen this video? Really interesting.

Quote of the vid - "If it's too tight, don't force it - get a bigger hammer"

This bloke's my new hero!

If you look closely at the saw (assuming you don't have the volume on) he explains that the saw blade has a bend in it that takes it from vertical to horizontal as you push forwards which means he doesn't need to tilt the saw. Really clever design.

Don't think I have ever seen nor read anyone using a cabinet scraper like that to complete the "cut" on those half blind DTs
I do not think therefore I do not am.

Yeah I remember that from last time I watched this, really clever way to get right into those corners. Will trash your scraper though I imagine...
