Here is my new project. Cherry lumber bought yesterday and blanked out for size.

The sides are tilted at a 10.1 degree angle, so the baseline cuts for the tails and pins will be skewed. Any tips for accurate marking out are appreciated.

I will cut a block with beveled face for guiding the chisels for the final paring.

I've never cut angled dovetails but I'm sure there are those here who have who will come forward.

Failing that, Tage Frid's book covers them.
