Dovetail Class

I'm teaching a dovetail class this Saturday for beginner and intermediate woodworkers.
Here I have all of the stock prepped: 6 total quartersawn mahogany dovetail alignment boards and 4 poplar practice pieces per student.

We'll be using David Barron's dovetail guide for the class. I really think this tool will change the way dovetails are taught in the coming years. I firmly believe the guide allows beginners to build muscle memory as well as their sawing skills while being able to accomplish very nice dovetails. It takes a lot of the stress off a beginner and I'm very excited to start teaching this method!
