Sliding Dovetails with the Stanley #79

I have finally got around to creating a pictorial of the Stanley #79 conversion into a dovetail plane. This was originally posted when I was building the Lingerie Chest.

Sliding dovetails are not so easy (from my point of view) and I may have to find one of those Stanley 79 to try your method.
Thanks for sharing,

Great post Derek! My next post will be all about sliding dovetails as well.
