simple dovetail markers

I guess these make it nice and easy to lay out your marks then?

Nice!

I need to make some of these . My pine ones no longer have nice crisp edges.

I made this little tool a few years ago… after seeing something like it in a video…

It’s the little tomahawk-looking thing… just right of chisels…

Made of Ash…
3/4” handle.
1/4” top w/ bridle joint…

Has Straight edges and Angles edges…

Very handy… I like it…

cool, i need to make one of these. My question is, do you use a marking knife to strike your line for the dovetails? If so do you end up cutting into the makers and messing them up over time? Maybe it doesnt matter since they are so easy to make.

A nice simple shop made tool. Everybody that hand cuts their dovetails should have some. I’m still using a miniature T-bevel. Whenever I get some free time maybe I’ll make some. Congratulations.

As far as marking with a sharp pencil or knife goes…

The very first marks can be done with virtually anything… doesn’t make that much of a difference.

It’s what you use for the SECOND series of cuts that counts… where you’re using the First series of cuts FOR the Second series of cuts… I personally like to use an old drafting pencil and a point sharpener (the black thing in my picture with a blue pencil sticking in it).
