Experiment from Derek's thread

Here it is. Used the same tails off the saw and cut new sockets in the other direction. I think these are okay. I did them the same way. Marked with a pencil and chopped. Same issues as with the other side. Paring the base of the socket takes more time than the rest. I would not hesitate to do this for a couple of drawers. I would also use a better layout method other than a pencil and using the same dovetails. It is a bit fiddlely but it's not awful. Double angle dovetails are much more difficult IMO.

Maybe another project to try, sometime?

Steven, You may check Matt Estlea on YT. He has a good tutorial on how to do oblique dovetails the traditional way to avoid short grain on the pins and tails. No"dig" to anyone.

Ya Steve if you straighten out those pins they will be stronger and look better.
