Podcast #20: Machine-Cut Dovetails

During this week’s Woodsmith Woodworking Seminar podcast, you’ll get to see a great new fixture that’s featured in ShopNotes Issue No. 93. Bryan Nelson (who is managing editor of ShopNotes magazine) will be routing machine-cut dovetails using the Porter-Cable 4212 dovetail jig.

And to make it even more interesting, he uses the new Dovetail Jig Workcenter. The workcenter is loaded with features that provide storage for the jig and all its accessories, imporved accuracy, and added comfort as you work. Once again, the jig is featured in the lastest issue of ShopNotes (on newsstands now).

After the podcast is finished, stop by the Woodsmith Podcast Store. You’ll find links to project plans, the seminar guide, and a few of the tools and accessories that Bryan used during the seminar.

I got valuable info. from the podcast. Particularly about routing a light scoring pass before actual slot cutting to prevent tearout and also the reason why raising the bit will loosen the fit.

I have an unrelated question. What shop apron is Bryan Nelson wearing? I like the over the shoulder design. Looks like a “Bucket Boss”, but I’ve searched all over and can’t find that one. Can someone name it?

Dan, the apron is a Bucket Boss, unfortunately, I got it a long time ago and don’t know the exact model. I did a search and saw a couple that looked like it but weren’t an exact match.

The main reason I like it is the over-the-shoulder design, as you noticed. It doesn’t pull against the neck, which I can’t stand.

Sorry I couldn’t point you to an exact match.

Bryan Nelson
