Flawless Dovetail Pins
Apr 2, 2025
Want quality dovetails with perfect contrasting woods? In this video, I reveal my technique for drilling clean pin holes after finishing - a risky but rewarding method that gives me the crispest results when working with pre-finished pieces (like walnut/maple combinations).
You'll learn:
✔️ Why I drill post-finish (despite the risks)
✔️ My drilling secrets to avoid tear-out on finished surfaces
✔️ When pre-finishing makes sense for your projects
This is an advanced technique - I recommend practicing on less critical pieces first! But once mastered, it elevates your work to next-level craftsmanship.
