<div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:comic sans ms,sans-serif;font-size:small;color:#000066">I have recently gotten motivated to make a few items with hand cut dovetails. The how to articles I have read to date show thin pins and wide tails. I recognize that using a router bit to cut dovetails defines the width of the pins, but is there a reason that hand cut dovetails shouldn't have wider pins that would be sturdier and easier to chisel out?</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:comic sans ms,sans-serif;font-size:small;color:#000066"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:comic sans ms,sans-serif;font-size:small;color:#000066">ps. Shingles are a bi*%h. A good friend got them and it left him down and out for months. The shot is a few bucks and well worth it.</div><div><div class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><p><i style="font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:16px"><span style="font-size:14pt;font-family:'Lucida Handwriting';color:red">Herb Treuil</span></i><br></p></div></div></div>
