Seen this on an episode of the Woodwright's Shop...Chris Schwarz was discussing how Campaign Furniture was made...

Corner joints looked like this...

Hmmmm, a dovetail joint?
Dovetail Class, dry fit 1, good corner.JPG
Ooooo-kay....
A look at the inside, might provide a clue?

Yeah, yeah...had a bit of chip out...First time I've done these sort of joints...pine to pract-ize a bit on..

Ah...there they are....
Lay them down?

I am sure others on this site have done better ones...and will be along to show them off.....however, I am just using up some scraps of Pine, and decided to try these out...

I might just keep this going a bit, and post how I somehow managed to kill an afternoon, playing around in the shop....with hand tools....

Stay tuned
