Popular Woodworking Magazine: When beginning woodworkers rank the difficulty of the different dovetail joints, they usually think of the through-dovetail as the “bunny slope.” The half-blind dovetail is the “expert slope” – perhaps a blue or a black trail if you are a snow skier.
So what’s the full-blind dovetail? Or the secret-mitered dovetail? Throwing yourself off a cliff without a parachute?
In my view, the through-dovetail is actually the most difficult joint of all because it has to fit seamlessly on both the face grain and end grain areas of the joint or your friends will ask to see your “big jar o’ wedges.”
