Mark up a dovetail for the wooden bombe secretary

Mark up a dovetail for the wooden bombe secretary

Tommy marks up the dovetail on the writing surface and then, using a ramp block, chisels out the 45 degree and 1:6 dovetail. Next step, he slowly eases into the dovetails and tap, tap, taps it in. A real crowd pleaser. Lastly, Tommy scores the case for the final work to complete the dovetail.
