The finished joint - a fun variation on a traditional form of joinery. Try some in your own wood shops and post some pics when you get them done!

Step ten on the Vulcan dovetails: the dry fit. This is critical - this is where it all comes together- this is where a good joint becomes a great joint or the parts become firewood. This example is somewhere between the two -;)) for a tool storage cabinet, I'm happy with the fit. #theunpluggedwoodshop #Vulcandovetails #handtoolsonly #woodworkingjoinery #madebyhand #learnwoodworking #diy #tensteps #nopowernoproblem #anunpluggedlife (at The Unplugged Woodshop)

Step nine of the Vulcan style dovetails is much the same as step five. Carefully chisel down to the shoulder lines. Again, I begin from the inside of the piece and remove about half of the thickness of waste. The piece is turned over and finished from the show side. Finally, ( and this is a step many people miss ) check the joint for square!! I used my @vespertools double square for this as its small size is perfect for joinery applications. You'll see it in the back/top left of the image... Nice!! #theunpluggedwoodshop #Vulcandovetails #handtoolsonly #woodworkingjoinery #madebyhand #learnwoodworking #diy #tensteps #nopowernoproblem #anunpluggedlife (at The Unplugged Woodshop)

Happy Monday morning! Here is step eight of the Vulcan style dovetails: Sawing the pins. It's back to the Stiletto and the "waste side" of the pins are cut. Again, this material will be removed with a Fretsaw and some final chisel work to square the shoulders to the layout lines. #theunpluggedwoodshop #Vulcandovetails #handtoolsonly #woodworkingjoinery #madebyhand #learnwoodworking #diy #tensteps #nopowernoproblem #anunpluggedlife (at The Unplugged Woodshop)

Step seven of the Vulcan dovetails: and while this is only a small step, it's definitely an important one!! Mark in the waste-;) you don't know how many times I've seen students ( and myself ) inadvertently saw on the wrong side of the line after the tails are transferred over to the pin board. Take a few seconds.......pencil in the waste! #theunpluggedwoodshop #Vulcandovetails #handtoolsonly #woodworkingjoinery #madebyhand #learnwoodworking #diy #tensteps #nopowernoproblem #anunpluggedlife (at The Unplugged Woodshop)
