Advancing Your Skills – Ep. 8 – Marking Single Lap Dovetails

Single-Lap Dovetail Details

These dimensions were used to make the drawer in the video. They make for elegant looking and refined front and back joints. The hidden detail (the shape described with dotted lines) shows the groove — in the drawer front that accepts the tongue on the bottom — going through a tail socket. It also shows the line of the bottom pin on the back joint.

Marking Out and Jointing the Single-Lap Dovetail

The single-lap joint on the drawer front is marked out by two gauge settings and three gauge lines. The first setting (1/32″ less than the thickness of the side) determines how far the tails stand proud of the pins. The second setting determines the length of the tails and, at the same time, the thickness of the end wall.
