Gluing Proud Dovetails


Recommended Posts

Thanks @Ronn W! This is all great info! Quick clarification though. When you say "coat of glue on the faces of the pins only" you mean glue on every face of the pin that will be touching the tails, including the face that will touch the baseline of the tail board right?

I think Ronn has this perfectly explained. Hope you share a finished picture with us!

I sure will but, I work at a snails pace and I have very limited shop time. So keep an eye on these forums sometime in the fall. That's a joke...mostly.

pre-finishing just he tips of the pins so you can load the joint with glue & then easily clean off the exposed parts. 

This is a great idea. Thanks.

@Tmize I'll have a look for Cosman's video. It's my understanding that guy knows a thing or two about joinery.
