I'm not sure if this is neander or not, please go ahead and let me know if I'm in the wrong place.
I'm trying to cut dovetails. So far I have using a chissel to remove the waste. That is a lot of loud chisseling.
I've heard that some people use a coping or fret saw to remove the bulk of the waste, and a chissel to clean-up. Sounds quieter.
Coping saws seem to have pretty wide blades.
I think fret saws have narrower blades (which would be a plus although I understand they are more delicate).
And I noticed that my hardware store sells blades for scroll saws and I wondered if anyone makes a hand frame for using those out of the machine.
Where should I start? Are there a good/better/best coping/fret saws? And where do you get 'em?
