I have a project coming up in which I would like to incorporate sliding dovetails. Previously I have always done these with a router bit, but it's rather difficult to do the ends of large boards with a router, so I would prefer to cut them by hand.
I saw Derek's post doing this (thanks derek, your website is an incredible resource!), but I was wondering if you guys had any preferred dovetail planes, japanese, american or otherwise. I can't seem to find much with exception to a few on ebay, i'm always a little concerned with regard to ebay and tools in areas i'm not completely familiar with.
Any help is appreciated as always (except 'google it' :P)
